Up Sheep's Creek
The Pol’s new livestock aren’t potty trained; their sheep hut isn’t draining properly and has now been transformed into a Pee Palace. It’s late fall and the winter deep freeze is just around the corner, so the family needs to get it fixed fast. The Pol’s also get a new sheep for their farm.

When Prey Fights Back
South Africa: home to some of the most skilled hunters on earth. But sometimes, the will to survive is stronger than the desire to kill. A wildebeest chasing down a cheetah, a warthog outsmarting hyenas, and a mongoose stunning a lion into submission. This is what happens when prey fights back.

Rockin' Renegades
The close calls are incredible when a humpback whale nearly belly-flops on top of frightened kayakers. A family of black bears enjoy a day in the pool, and it's all in good fun… until they find themselves on the brink of disaster. Betrayal is only inches away when a cat gives a sleeping dog a rude awakening. From dolphin projectiles, side-swiping moose, and monkeys looking for a fight. Ferocious displays of determination - a cat's unbeatable bravery, and an eagle that will sooner sink than starve. These are the most Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Renegades… on Animals Gone Wild 3.

Born To Be Wild
These gigantic beasts are putting their foot down. From an elephant with a vendetta to a trampoline fiending elk; a tantrum-throwing parrot and a pack of hyenas that just won't give up their seat at the table - when pushed to the edge, these animals are going through the roof. When an osprey is freed from a fishing hook and a bison charges head-on toward a car, these animals prove that some are just Born to be Wild.

03:54
Fast and Furious
Mother Nature's meanest prove that you can't always go it alone. When a buffalo calf is nearly taken down by a lion, the rest of the herd marches in to save it. A man and his GoPro stumble into a rattlesnake den and quickly learn: "the more, the scarier." From white-knuckled wipeouts and unlikely rescues, to meal-snatching savagery. These Impossible Missions show that the higher they climb… the farther they fall.

Life and Death
Nature at its most raw can be a beautiful and gruesome thing. From brutal kills to remarkable bravery, and the miracle of birth, these are stories about Africas youngest members both their victories and defeats.

Soul of The Cat
Most people in the world who know a domestic cat understand the wild look in their pet's eye. This film will look at those thinly veiled behaviors between domestic cats and their wild cousins and ancestors, specifically to draw those parallels and to explain to 'owners' what they are seeing when they watch their cat. We will use big cat footage of lions and cheetah hunting and show cats playing or hunting. There will be scenes on cats leaping, landing, running up trees like leopards and all the behavior we are used to seeing in domestic cats, but drawn exactly from the wild equivalent.

Mob Rule
On the fierce battlegrounds of Botswana, being in a gang is everything. Strength comes in numbers, but victory only comes to those who play by gang rules. How to earn your place in the mob and how you fight to keep it is a matter of life - or death. And when Africa's greatest gangs collide, only those with real power, intelligence and teamwork will survive.

Storm Cats
In a landscape where rain is rare, violent and short-lived, Africa’s big cats lead a predictable life, masters of the dry terrain to which they are adapted. But then, for eight intense weeks, violent storms transform their world, shattering their routine. While the risk of death is as high as ever, so too is opportunity for those that seize it. Storm Cats is an intimate portrayal of leopards, lions and cheetahs pushed to the edge by nature’s raw power. Only those that can adapt will survive.

Super Cat
500 lbs of pure predator, three-inch long canines and retractable claws like switchblades. Big cats areamong the fiercest four legged beasts on the planet - capable of taking down fleet-footed antelope, two tonne elephants and even human beings.NGT takes you inside the world's biggest cats - lions and tigers - to unlock the secrets of these maximum predators. New science will deconstruct the engineering of these legendary man-eaters, revealing what they are capable of, and what they're really after.Using CGI we'll peel back the layers of these top predators. A 360° CT scan of a big cat's head and jaws, plus actual dissections, reveal new insights into their engineering, sensory systems and intelligence. Archive footage and recreation of documented attacks on humans will propel us into the science and mechanics of these big predators - revealing how they think, how they work, how they hunt, and what makes them the rulers of the landscape.Crawling through Africa, we'll stalk, capture and reveal the physique, teeth, claws and ambush tactics of big Cats. GPS tracking devices will show how much land - and prey - these predators need to survive. We'll reveal their maximum appetite (over 50 pounds of meat at one sitting) and the lions' unique 'team approach' to hunting.And we'll investigate a case in Tanzania where cats have hunted humans. We'll also reveal the newly discovered ways that big cats kill. The brutish stereotype is wrong - they kill with the pinpoint accuracy of an assasin, not the clumsiness of a butcher - and we'll compare a shock troop of lions to the lone stealth of a tiger and reveal which extreme predator truly deserves the title of 'Super Cat'.

Frostbitten In The Mitten
Central Michigan is in the throes of yet another brutal winter but the staff of Pol Vet Services remains undeterred-no matter the conditions, there are sick animals that need care, and these are just the vets for the job. The first client of the day is a true American war hero… Jypsy, a retired military bomb-sniffing dog, is mysteriously limping on her hind legs. Dr. Pol's got to get this lovable veteran on her feet and back to enjoying her retirement on the home front. The deep freeze of late winter has everyone feeling uncomfortable - but no one more so than Jazz, a horse with a big problem in a sensitive area. Low temperatures and bone chilling winds have caused the fluids in Jazz's penis to swell, so much so that he cannot retract it into its sheath any more. Doc Pol's got a big job ahead of him to put everything back where it should be. While the cold may be causing issues for the animals, it's created ideal conditions for Dr. Pol's next home improvement project, a do-it-yourself bridge using a flatbed trailer. The plan is to hook the bridge up to Dr. Pol's backhoe and roll it across the frozen lake on top of a series of logs. After several attempts and only making it half way across, its clear that it will take a little more muscle to get this bridge across. First thing the next morning, Dr. Emily has an emergency in the parking lot. Charlotte, a potbellied pig is in grave danger-she's in a stalled labor and if they don't get the piglets removed, the outlook is grim. Dr. Emily consults Dr. Pol to figure out the best course of action for this mother and her piglets. After deciding that brute strength is the only option left to get the bridge across, Dr. Pol and Charles use all the machinery at hand to slide the flatbed across the frozen lake. Murphy's law is in full effect as Dr. Pol drives a second tractor onto the ice to make the final tweaks. Diane hears the ice cracking and sure enough, Dr. Pol's tractor goes straight through the ice. After hours of trying to free the tractor, the Pols have to call a tow truck to get this thing out. After tractors, tow trucks, thin ice, and a whole lot of manpower, at long last, the bridge is in place! As Dr. Pol and Diane stroll across their new bridge hand-in-hand, their attention now turns to the island itself- the site of their next project!
