Gorongosa's lioness.

Tue. Sep. 22 at 8pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Experience the inspiring rebirth of an African wilderness through the eyes of Emmy Award-winning wildlife cameraman Bob Poole.

Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, has undergone a tremendous restoration. In the first episode, "Lion Mystery; Elephant Whisperer" Paola Bouley, who runs the park's lion project, investigates why the lion population isn't growing. Darting lions, wrestling crocs, facing down angry elephants – it’s all part of a day’s work as he joins the battle to re-wild a legendary national park.
