Discovery Plus

Animal Planet evokes the expansive and unexpected range of raw, visceral experiences within the animal kingdom - all leading viewers to relate to animals as characters that inspire and engage, not merely creatures to observe.

It's vaccination day at the rhino sanctuary, and Rachel is worried about the orphan hawk, who has an eye infection; on the Eastern Cape, vet Emily is called to help four young sable antelopes who are being bullied by an older dominant male.

Work on the Wild Side
