Television Programming for Tonight, August 17: Featured Highlights such as the latest installment of Ridley's series
In the world of wildlife, we have some fascinating stories unfolding. In Zambia, African wild dog adolescents are causing a stir among their pack due to their over-exuberance, often scuppering their predatory plans. Meanwhile, in Kenya, a cheetah is teaching her cubs the art of hunting. However, the San Joaquin kit fox in California faces a challenge in keeping her babies safe from a coyote. And in Patagonia, a guanaco and her calf are at risk from man-made fencing.
In the realm of primates, a pregnant Hanuman langur in India is babysitting other monkeys' little ones to prepare for motherhood, while a disgraced ex-copper, Jean Dixon, is drawn back into a case involving the body of Kathy Hadderly, who disappeared six years earlier.
