Mutual of Omaha's: Wild Kingdom Australia's Awesome Animals
Premiering in 1963, broadcast on prime-time from 1968 to 1971, and airing in syndication until 1988, the Emmy Award-winning MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM was one of the longest-running and most beloved television series of all time. A pioneer of the narrative nature-documentary format, the educational series followed venerable host and ecologist Marlin Perkins (later joined by Peter Gros and Jim Fowler) as he trekked to the farthest reaches of the globe to study wild animals in their natural habitats. This nostalgic collection includes 10 of the most requested episodes about Australia's unique species, travelling from the Outback to the Great Barrier Reef to offer in-depth looks at kangaroos, dingoes, and saltwater crocodiles.
