On The Nile River in Murchison Falls National Park we'll find out just what it takes to capture crocodiles while Brady trains a team of rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Then it's on to the shores of Lake Victoria, where a massive, one-ton crocodile has been terrorizing villagers. Brady and the rangers will set out on the lake in the same dugout canoes used by fisherman; dugout canoes that are known to have been capsized by a giant crocodile. Their mission: To find and capture the man-eater before it kills again. http://natgeotv.com/in/danger-men Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the world, with 1200 construction workers killed each year in America alone, and wind turbine construction is toughest job of all. These are the men who take on Mother Nature. Facing terrifying heights, gigantic parts and massive machinery, these men battle the elements to build wind farms. Standing at 260 feet, with a Rotor the size of a Boeing 747, each turbine costs £1million to build. At no time can these men let their minds wander off what they're doing; otherwise they may be injured or worse still, killed. We go to Etheridge, Montana - one of the windiest areas in the U.S. This inhospitable terrain is perfect for build wind turbines, but as the construction workers find out, the wind can be so strong at the top of the turbines that it's impossible to stand up. This makes connecting the rotor the most dangerous part. As gusts pick up, the blade will try to rotate - and if they are not connected properly, they will come down - resulting in the loss of life… http://natgeotv.com/in/ Ecologist Chris Morgan journeys from a city of bears to a real city, Anchorage. Here black bears and people must share the land, and wildlife officers walk a fine line between wilderness and civilization. Still further North, Chris explores the world of Alaska's interior grizzlies as they struggle to survive in the harsh shadow of Mount Denali. http://natgeotv.com/in/air-crash-investigation http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/mad-scientists http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/ Boas had invaded Mexico's Cozumel Island with a vengeance.

National Geographic Channel takes viewers to Australia, where members of an urban subculture are pierced through their skin with giant stainless steel fishing hooks and hang suspended from the ceiling. Then, deep in the Amazon jungle of Brazil, teenage boys thrust their hands inside specially woven gloves filled with hundreds of giant stinging bullet ants. And they repeat the excruciating ritual 19 more times in order to become men. Finally, in Papua New Guinea, see how boys endure swallowing about 60 centimetres of raw cane down their throat to the pit of their stomach so they can symbolically die as boys and be reborn as men http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/ http://natgeotv.com/in/dangerous-encounters Catching dangerous snakes for research, or removing them from people's property, is a bit like disarming a bomb-one wrong move can cost you your life.

But how do you get within arm's length to some of the most dangerous predators on the planet who can easily take down prey that's five times your size? To find out, Dr. Brady Barr creates a protective suit that enables him to crawl alongside a Nile crocodile. To design the suit, Brady examines different techniques used to protect humans from other large animals. He climbs into a protective cage modified from those used with great white sharks, and places himself next to a deer carcass and a pack of hungry wolves. Next, Brady heads to rodeo school to test out the barrels used to protect cowboys from bull horns. A few rolls in the barrel tells Brady that he needs a lightweight version to protect him from crocs, hippos and potential catastrophe. With the help of National Geographic engineers, Brady puts together a croc suit with enough protection to keep him safe from harm, but lifelike enough to help him fit in with the real crocodiles. Brady puts the suit to the test next to some of the largest and most powerful carnivores around. http://natgeotv.com/in/dont-tell-my-mother As the ninth largest country in the world, rich in oil and uranium, but most people don't know much about Kazakhstan and the crucial strategic role it quietly plays on the world's stage. Since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, there has been a race among the world's superpowers to clean up its nuclear capabilities, utilize its massive oil resources, and limit the possibilities for Islamic extremism within its borders. In "Don't Tell My Mother I am In Kazakhstan" Diego visits a landscape recovering from the ravages of Soviet rule.

For Gordon Buchanan, with years of experience encountering large predators in the wild, wolves have never been a cause for concern. However as he journeys to the remote and isolated community of Chignik, Alaska, where the second of these fatal encounters occurred, he wonders has he been naïve. Are some wolves man-eaters?Through his investigations in Alaska Gordon hopes to understand what may have lead to the death of Candice Berner. What caused the usually shy and wary wolves to come so close to a human settlement? In studying this case and others he hopes to learn why some wolves have become so aggressive that the state feels they have to be removed2. What makes the difference between a terrifyingbut ultimately harmless encounter with wolves,as experienced by one woman who Gordon meetson his investigation,3andthe one ending in the tragedy that befell Candice Berner? http://natgeotv.com/in/air-crash-investigation 1985: Air India flight vanishes off the coast of Ireland and the crew had no warning before the jet was ripped apart.
