The Parasitic Sea Worm Devastating Florida's Coral Reefs | Changing Seas

The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is home to the worlds third largest coral barrier reef, and is home to all kinds of diverse species of flora and fauna. To take pressure off the reef and allow for regeneration, the retired Military ship Vandenberg was deliberately sunk in 2009 which has since given divers and marine life a new space to inhabit. However, one of its new inhabitants is the invasive worm snail, the Vandy. Could this non-native species spread past the ship and to other coral reefs?

I Used To Hunt Grizzly Bears. Now I Live With Them.

This gripping documentary follows a former hunting guide who walked away from a lucrative trophy hunting business after a profound crisis of conscience. For 45 years, he traveled into the most remote wilderness areas of Western Canada to learn the true nature of grizzly bears. By using a revolutionary approach based on mutual respect and dominance hierarchy, he proved that humans and apex predators can peacefully share the landscape. From intense bluff charges to rare underwater swimming footage, this film dismantles the dangerous myths surrounding these highly intelligent creatures and showcases a lifelong mission to replace conflict with true coexistence.

In this compilation, predator and prey is the main event. From bobcats hunting hares to wolves hunting possums, no animal is safe every time from an apex predator. And when thats not the case, there's always disputes, whether its between a pack of wolves and a wolverine over some food or some rams who just cant seem to get along. However, sometimes these prey species are clever with their manoeuvres, and these herbivores manage to outsmart their carnivorous counterparts.

Predator on the Reservation (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

FRONTLINE and The Wall Street Journal investigate the decades-long failure to stop a government doctor accused of sexually abusing Native American boys, and examine how he moved from reservation to reservation despite warnings. (Aired 2019) Wall Street Journal reporters Christopher Weaver, Dan Frosch and Gabe Johnson spent more than two years investigating the Indian Health Service, the federal agency that provides healthcare for Native Americans. In collaboration with FRONTLINE, they found that the agency employed a number of problem doctors, including Dr. Stanley Patrick Weber, a pedophile who — despite the suspicions of co-workers up and down the chain of command — continued treating children for more than two decades. Funding for FRONTLINE is provided through the support of PBS viewers and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Major funding for FRONTLINE is provided by the Abrams Foundation; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; Park Foundation; and the FRONTLINE Journalism Fund with major support from Jon and Jo Ann Hagler on behalf of the Jon L. Hagler Foundation, and additional support from Koo and Patricia Yuen.
