Protecting the Prairie Chicken | Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild

Peter and Dr. Rae explore the gulf coast to discover more about one of North America's rarest birds, Attwater’s prairie chicken. Prairies are one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet, making survival for their truly unique species more challenging than ever before. Peter heads to Texas to meet with local wildlife refuge specialists who will help him get his first glimpse of this critically endangered avian. Then, Dr. Rae visits a wildlife center that's hard at work rejuvenating the prairie chicken population using cutting-edge technology. With the newest generation of these remarkable birds growing fast, Peter helps them get released into their prairie refuge, taking their first steps toward life in the wild.
