are you meaning that National Geographic has their own Channel??? Or a show done by National Geographic?? about 50% of the shows I see on Discovery and Animal Planet are done by National Geographic.

What ever happened to Steve Irwin's "The crocodile hunter"? Did he stop making shows or something because of those "incidents"?

Isn't it just like every other show on tv where they take breaks between seasons??? I know they still play the show on Discovery and Animal Planet.. I would think that if they were having issues, they would have taken the show right off the air..

National Geographic has its own channel(i believe), and i think you can only get it in the states. I never see it on stalite or anything, so i was wondering if you could get it in canada. How i found out was someone gave me a site to see stuff about chameleons and it was National Geographics, in the corner you could see the yellow rectangle and whats coming up next and such.

I just watched a sweet episode of Snake Wranglers dealing with a guy trying to prove Eyelash Vipers are not actually nocturnal but will eat and hunt both day and night. He ended up proving on film and it was a neat episode.

Snake Wranglers is on the National Geographic Channel and its a great show. Venom ER is unreal, did you see the one that was on the other night? A guy got bit by a rattle snake and he was twitching and bleedling like crazy, luckily he survived but it looked horrible to endure.

Both Discovery and Nat. Geo. Have other spin off channels as well. Check out the web sites for both Discovery and Nat. Geo. to find out more. We get them over here, so getting them in Canada should be no problem. We are behind in all of out tv series though. Snake Wrangler just started 2 weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

I also like "snakebusters", it is an older biker type guy from Australia that does snake rescue and removal - no flashy gimmicks.

And, I think this one is on the national geographic channel, but it's called "crocodile cronicles" and features herpetoligist Brady Bar (spelling?).

I've only seen 1 Mark Oshea show, but really liked it, and wish I could find it on T.V more often.

I don't like that Brady Barr guy. He is the only one I have seen on T.V who catches gators with a huge treble hook. He reels his hook through the water until it sticks into one. He then fights it on a fishing pole. If the other guys can do it without this method I don't see why he has to use it. I refuse to watch the show since I saw that.
