72 Dangerous Animals: Latin America - Season 1
Season 1
Powerful cats, indestructible arachnids and flesh-melting pit vipers are just the beginning in this series about Latin America's deadly fauna.
Episodes
Jungle Jeopardy
Its bite force and night vision make the jaguar the jungle's "killer of killers", but the fer-de-lance pit viper's flesh-rotting venom is devastating.
Deadly Bite
Orcas possess awesome speed, power and intelligence, but the rattlesnake, black widow spider and even the mosquito challenge them in dangerousness.
The Freaks
Despite dwindling numbers, the Humboldt squid's beak is deadly, but the Brazilian wandering spider's fangs and venom are ruthlessly efficient.
Killer or Saviours
Creatures such as the tarantula and the Gila monster are nightmares of myth and legend -- but also a surprising treasure trove for medical science.
Pack Hunters
The oceanic whitetip shark is infamous for attacking shipwreck survivors. On land, packs of feral dogs are becoming a serious threat to human life.
One Hit Wonders
The boa constrictor crushes the life out of its victims and the bullet ant's sting is painful, but the assassin caterpillar lives up to its name.
Stop! Danger Ahead
A friendly-looking but deadly seal prowls the frigid waters off the tip of South America. The recluse spider's sting is painful, then rots away flesh.
Best Left Alone
The murky rivers of the tropics contain a shocking surprise: the electric eel. The cute capybara and the furry llama can be surprisingly treacherous.
Are They for Real?
The elephant seal's crushing head-butt is a killer skill, but the bites of both the Amazonian giant centipede and the vampire bat are horrifying.
Stealth Hunters
The Brazilian yellow scorpion is one of the species' most venomous, but a tiny, parasite-bearing snail has a much bigger and more devastating effect.
Killers: Myth or Reality
The dive-bombing harpy eagle feeds on monkeys and wild pigs, while the maned wolf is more the victim of bad PR than an actual threat.
The Final Countdown
The top 11 "fearsome finalists" from previous episodes, including bugs, bats, spiders and snakes, battle it out for the No. 1 spot.

When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
