![]() Over three decades later, this one-off special reveals another side to the cocaine trafficker, and explores the lasting threat that he and his hippos, now multiplied to over 30, pose for the country. This is the most extensive footage ever shown of the secretive rhinos in their native habitat, thanks to special sanctuaries recently carved into the jungle in Indonesia and Malaysia for Torgamba and a select few of his companions.ĭuring his stronghold on Columbia, Pablo Escobar, one of the richest and most violent drug lords in history, imported a host of rare and exotic animals for his private zoo on his famous estate, Hacienda Napoles, including four hippos. After all, few humans had ever observed a Sumatran rhino outside a zoo. Back in 1985, no one could foresee that Torgamba would play such a critical role in the effort to save his species. A male rhino just reaching maturity, he was named after the rainforest of Torgamba, which his ancestors had wandered for countless generations before him. when fate opened up the outside world to him. In the early 1980's on the island of Sumatra, this rhino, who was about four years old, lived in quiet obscurity until 1985. Hunted by poachers to the brink of extinction, this rhino named Torgamba, rescued by scientists from certain death, will be shipped halfway around the world and back, all in a last ditch effort to avoid becoming the last rhino. In a Southeast Asian jungle, a rare glimpse at one of the most exotic and endangered species in the world. Tanner and his colleagues set about working out how it lived and died. Once there, they discover that the creature is a dragon. When the frozen remains of an unknown creature are discovered in the Carpathian mountains, Tanner, and two colleagues from the museum, undertake the task to examine the specimen to try to save his reputation. The second shows the story of a modern day scientist at a museum, Dr. The first uses CGI to show the dragons in their natural habitat throughout history. The program switches between two stories. The dragons featured in the show were designed by John Sibbick. They are a species that are scientifically feasible and could have evolved, although they did not. It uses the premise that the ubiquity of dragons in world mythology suggests that dragons could have existed. It posits the theoretical evolution of dragons from the Cretaceous period up to the 15th century, and theories about what dragon life and behaviour might have been like if they had existed and evolved. ![]() The Last Dragon, known as Dragons : A Fantasy Made Real in the United States, and also known as Dragon's World in other countries, is a docudrama made by Animal Planet that is described as the story of "the natural history of the most extraordinary creature that never existed". They have not just survived: they have thrived. While humans have made life in this land impossible for themselves, animals have found a way. Highly radioactive fall-out flooded everything within a 20-mile radius: 35,000 cattle and 135,000 people had to be evacuated. In the immediate aftermath more than 30 died. A devastating fireball blew off the reactor's heavy steel and concrete lid. At 1:23am the resulting chain reaction created a series of explosions. On April 25/26th 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant located 80 miles north of Kiev in the former USSR (now Ukraine) lost control of one of its 4 reactors. The film takes place at the site of the world's worst nuclear accident, hastily abandoned by panic-stricken humans 20 years ago. The species we see are not cartoon characters, but representatives of a living legacy, involved in a genuine drama still unfolding today. What would happen if the world were suddenly without people – if humans vanished off the face of the earth? How would nature react - and how swiftly? This is science fact, not fiction. ![]()
