Win an Animal Planet Nike Shirt and Dog Bowl

On tomorrow night’s episode, you’ll see the following stories:

Anaconda Attack – watch the drama unfold when an anaconda attacks wildlife documentarian Toninho Negreiro in the Columbian jungle.

Horse Racing Disaster – this is one of my nightmares come to life, especially after Christopher Reeves’ horrifying accident.  A young female jockey named Maggie Carter gets tangled up and hurtles headlong for disaster.

Wounded Bald Eagle – Two brothers discover an injured bald eagle outside Ames, Iowa and attempt to rescue the majestic and dangerous bird.  I can’t imagine how intimidating an eagle could be when you’re that up close and personal.  We had a near-miss encounter with one in the Canadian Rockies and that was close enough for me!

Princess – an Alabama sheriff’s deputy’s life might be in the hands of his partner, a German shepherd, when he finds himself looking down the wrong end of his own gun.

Trapped Bear – trapped in a sewage tank outside Los Lunas, New Mexico a black bear is near baking in the sweltering desert heat.  This must be a truly heartbreaking scene!  What can you do to help a bear?  I would feel so sorry for it but afraid to approach it at the same time!

Untamed and Uncut “Heroes and Horror”

I love the show because it uses computer graphics to break down the incredible videos so that viewers can understand exactly what happened.  It’s extraordinarily fascinating this season’s first episode, “Teeth, Talons and Terror,” looks like it won’t disappoint.  Here’s an overview of what to expect:

• Shark Break-In – A great white crashes into a shark cage trapping two divers off the coast of Baja California.
• Bull Spins Cowboy – Bull Lucky Strike knocks out Cowboy Robson Polermo and flings him into the air.
• Destined for Disaster – A horse descended from Man O’ War is trapped in mud and the only way out is a risky flight across a California canyon.
• Hawk vs. Cockatoo – At the Los Angeles Zoo, a Harris hawk is released early attacking a cockatoo and its handler.
• Icy Dog – A Great Pyranees is trapped and freezing on a chunk of melting ice in Indianapolis.
