Wildlife Nation Exclusive Clip: Amazing Mammals

Join Jeff Corwin as he investigates critical mammal conservation challenges. He reveals that nearly a quarter of all mammals face extinction, with wild species comprising only 4% of global mammal biomass. Corwin focuses on New England's orphaned black bear cubs, increasingly threatened by habitat loss and human proximity.

At the Kilham Bear Center, caregivers like Ethan Kilham raise these cubs, mimicking a mother bear to ensure they remain wild. The aim is to prepare them for release at 18 months, minimizing human interaction. The program showcases the careful process of sedating, health-checking, and tagging cubs like Flower and Dover before their successful return to the wild.
