Carpe Diem: Is This The Answer To This Fishy Problem? | Real Wild Channel

Since it was accidentally released into the Mississippi River 30 years ago, a relentless aquatic invader —the Asian Carp—has been heading north. Famous for their insatiable hunger and their Olympic high jumping, Asian Carp are now only 100 kilometers south of Lake Michigan. Narrated by David Suzuki, Carpe Diem explores a complicated fight, involving a wide array of tools from crossbows to electrodes, against an impressive species of fish, which is really just doing what it does best—surviving. Down south, where the battle has been lost, people are beginning to see the fish as a resource and are starting to eat it. Is this the answer to this Fishy problem?

Swimming with Sharks: Would You Do It? | Shark Divers

Adrenaline ecotourism is pushing human boundaries to the absolute edge as thrill-seekers pay premium prices to swim alongside the ocean's most dangerous apex predators. From the shallow, predator-infested territory of Tiger Beach in the Bahamas to the desolate volcanic waters of Mexico’s Guadalupe Island, extreme scuba divers routinely discard traditional safety cages. But as animals begin displaying learned behaviors like biting through equipment cages and targeting gear, the line between conservation advocacy and reckless danger blurs. Renowned scientists and survivors of brutal bull shark attacks openly question if this booming industry has crossed a perilous line. Following high-profile accidents and a historic commercial diving fatality, a fierce global controversy has ignited. This documentary captures the raw adrenaline rush driving this growing community, tracking the thin boundary separating passionate wildlife advocacy from ultimate catastrophe.

Path of the Typhoon - Documentary about the Tropical Cyclone (2010)

In America they are called hurricanes, in Asia typhoons. The storms originate over warm sea-areas and frequently change its direction without recognizable reason. If they cross Tokyo instead of the Japanese Alps, they cause enormous damage. Scientists are therefore working feverishly to explain the phenomenon in order to improve the reliability of the prediction. © 2008, Licensed fact+film
