In the wild, animals use their noses to find food, water and even mates! Today, Jungle Jack counts down the animal kingdom’s superior sniggers– from grizzly bears and sharks, to dogs and rhinos– find out which notable nose is the most powerful!

Some animals have been using social networks for eons, like herds of Elephants, colonies of Ants and Bees, Hyena clans and even Chimpanzees. Today, Jungle Jack will see what it takes to get “likes” from these special species.

Do you ever get the feeling you’re being followed? It might just be one of the predators from today’s show.  Big Cats, Gigantic Spiders, Killer Reptiles, Stealthy Raptors… whether they pack poison, jaws or claws, all of today’s creatures are deadly in their own way.

Every day, humans and wild animals are crossing paths more and more, and we’re all learning to adapt. Come along with Jungle Jack as he finds penguins sharing a beach with swimmers, big horn sheep colliding with the big city, zebra stopping traffic in California and more wild encounters in the city.

Whether they cross huge distances in a single leap, like kangaroos, or gracefully soar above the waves, like dolphins, or escape from predators, like frogs, all of today’s countdown creatures are built to bounce, bound and jump around.
