World's Weirdest

Forget holding hands — in the natural world, you've got to tap into your inner weirdo to make the sparks fly and raise a new generation. Nat Geo WILD delves into the Strange Love of the animal kingdom. Take a closer look at the bizarre ways animals find a mate, see the weird ways animals have developed when it comes to producing offspring and explore the unconventional ways of raising young in the animal kingdom.

In the fight for survival, almost anything can happen — and nature's battlefields are filled with freaks. World's Weirdest takes a closer look at the bizarre ways animals protect themselves as Nat Geo WILD goes inside the stealthy strategies and unlikely weapons used in the natural world. Embed with a prairie dog colony that operates like a military command center, see a cobra spews deadly venom up to 10 feet, and witness an anteater use its strong tongue to consume up to 30,000 insects a day.

Nat Geo WILD looks at the line that separates people from the animal kingdom — and the similarities are downright weird. Bees on the hunt for sugary nectar can become drunk off of fermented tree sap. Meet unlikely animal role models, including male pigeons who will shoo away interested females who are not their life partners. And explore the way animals, like people, can self-medicate — a person might take an aspirin, but many animals turn to mud to sooth ailments.
