Japan foxes and giant python on 'Born to be Wild'

Airing date: March 13, 2016

Doc Ferds continues his journey to discover Japan’s wildlife.  This time, he visits Miyagi where two hundred foxes live in a “fox village”.  The village caretakers say the foxes were saved from slaughter for the fur trade.  Doc Ferds meets the foxes and documents their behavior.  Although living under the care of people, some foxes still show their wild side and fight each other for territory.

Doc Nielsen and local DENR officials rescue a reticulated python that has been kept as a pet for fifteen years.  This snake grew to sixteen feet and is one of the largest snakes ever recorded and rescued on Born to be Wild.
