Detailing the findings of an investigation into multiple alligator deaths which occured in and around Florida's Lake Griffin during the late 1990s.

Episode 4 : The Dolphin Murders

The investigation into a series of unexplained deaths among dolphins and porpoises off the coasts of Virginia and Scotland in the late 1990s. The dead mammals presented no external signs of trauma but were shown under autopsy to have massive internal injuries.

Episode 3 : The Bodiless Bear

Episode 2 : The Revengeful Elephant

January. 15,2008

Documentary examining a spate of violent cattle and rhino deaths which took place across a large area of Africa in the early 1990s.
