The Wild Life

In the debut episode, we're going to check out something GIANT. Our new Giant Anteater, Tiana. So let's get our hands dirty, and find out more about this strange, cute creature with the help of our zookeeper friends.

It's a tall order, but we're going behind the scenes for a day in the life of our vertically-blessed, spotted friends. Join Brad Carpenter on this episode of The Wild Life as he gets one-on-one with the keepers who care for the giraffes here at Zoo Knoxville, learns how they care for them, and tries to uncover a BIG secret they've been keeping from us...

We broke out of our shell to explore the world of tortoises, specifically bog turtles, radiated tortoises, and Aldabra giant tortoises. Come along and meet Michael Ogle, Curator for the Department of Herpetology, along with one of our favorite reptiles of all time, Big Al.

Join us for episode 4 as we go behind the scenes with Chimps! These omnivorous beauties seem so human...but they're not. Learn about their strength, intelligence, food and living habits, and how the entertainment industry is bad for them.

Join us for Episode 5 as we join the zookeepers behind the new Clayton Family Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (ARC) Campus, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how they care for the beautiful, dangerous, and often misunderstood creatures that live there.
