Wild Kingdom (or Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom) is a half hour documentary series that ran from 1963 to 1988. Hosted by Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler, the show ran on NBC from its inception to 1971. Following the NBC run, the show went into syndication with few new episodes produced. The show was revived again in 2002 with new host Alec Baldwin for the Animal Planet Network.
The original series was famous for its ecological and environmental mini films on nature, and for Jim Fowler's up close and personal encounters with wild animals.
