Invasive species are reshaping the world’s ecosystems, but who’s really to blame? Shane wrestles a python, hunts Hawaiian pigs, and gets sucker-punched by a carp to answer the question: in the Age of Humans, how does our species decide what belongs?
Cruising the Everglades with a Burmese Python Hunter
S1 E1 - 2m 46s
Donna Kalil is a professional bounty hunter. The scaly fugitives she tracks down in the Everglades grow to 18 feet long… and eat deer and alligators for supper. Shane joins Donna on a hunt to learn more about Burmese pythons. Brought to Florida as pets, many pythons were dumped into the swamp when they outgrew their owners.
Tracking a Burmese Python with Biologists in Florida
S1 E1 - 4m 5s
Brought to Florida as pets, many Burmese pythons have found a perfect home in the Everglades, and they’re spreading fast. As the pythons gain ground, biologists are racing to understand them, hoping to find a weakness and stop the invasion.
The Wild Horses of Nevada's Deserts
S1 E1 - 3m 4s
Wild horses are an icon of the American West, but there are no native horses in the U.S. Those wild mustangs we idolize are European invaders. In Nevada, Shane observes a government “gather,” a dystopian round-up where helicopters chase panicked horses into pens to remove them from public lands. We spend millions of dollars a year managing horses, but we still can’t agree on whether they belong.
