Availability information for this program

UNTAMED is an up-close look at how injured, sick and displaced wild animals - from black bears and eagles to turtles, opossums and vultures - are rehabilitated at the Wildlife Center of Virginia and returned to the wild. Host Ed Clark co-founded the Wildlife Center, a leading teaching and research hospital for conservation medicine which diagnoses and rehabilitates nearly 3,000 wild animals each year. The series' informative experts and charming animals foster understanding and appreciation for wildlife.

Episodes:

  • Citizen Science

    Citizen Science is known as the collection and analysis of data relating to the natural world by members of the public. Those participating in citizen science projects and activities are not professional scientists; rather, this collaborative research is done by everyday people in a wide variety of settings around the world to help answer questions that scientists can't answer by themselves.

  • Invasive Species

    Although world ecosystems are in danger from a whole host of varied and distinct threats, there are few issues more difficult to tackle or more complex to understand than invasive species control. These species arrive in an ecosystem in which they are not native and have not evolved, with no existing space within the habitat.

  • Land Management

    As humans continue to move across and dominate the open landscapes of North America, transforming diverse native ecosystems into managed areas for crops, livestock, or even simply for aesthetics, our native resident and transient wildlife lose habitat. Learn how sustainable land management leads to a more diverse and healthier environment.

  • Pollinators

    Pollinators are a vital part of our world and are essential for creating and maintaining habitats that many animals - including us! - rely on for food and shelter. The diversity of pollinators in a particular area is a key indicator to the health of an overall ecosystem.

  • Watersheds

    Water is the great architect of Earth and a defining factor for the location and movement of life on this planet. Without water, our world would look very different; without the watersheds which capture, coalesce, move, and recycle water throughout a natural system, human and wildlife habitats would not be the same.

  • Wild Winter Worlds

    How do wildlife survive the tougher winter months? With cold temperatures and fewer food resources, the winter season can be challenging for a variety of wild animals. Some animals migrate to different areas, some hunker down for a long winter's nap, and some simply continue their daily activities.
