About Caught in the Act
They're wild and ready for prime time: animals captured on tape in rare and often spontaneous situations. Nat Geo Wild travels the globe to get the stories behind the videos and meet experts who offer insights into the unique animal behaviors. Each fascinating episode brings a selection of unbelievable scenes, depicting extraordinary animal behavior, together with the emotional accounts of the eyewitnesses who were lucky — or unlucky — enough to be in the right place at the right time. See a playful baboon sneak up behind a lion and pull its tail! A pelican bites off more than it can chew with a tireless pigeon that fights its way to freedom. And a young male elephant displays interesting mating behavior.
