Tonight, we embark on a wildlife tour. Well roam with the wolves in the snows of yellowstone; marvel at the diversity of the animal world through the lens of a National Geographic photographer. But we begin with a dive into the lives of some of the oceans most storied and feared predators. The book and movie jaws introduced us to the great white shark more than 40 years ago, and scared us out of our wits. Much of the film was shot in the waters off cape cod, massachusetts. The irony is that when it came out in the mid1970s, there were very few white sharks around cape cod. The species was in the midst of a serious decline, and the movie made it worse, with fishermen hunting the few great whites that there were. White sharks were granted federal protection in 1997, and in the years since, have made a comeback that has delighted conservationists, and frightened swimmers and surfers. On cape cod this past summer, shark sightings and beach closings were about as common as lobster rolls. As we first reported last september, the atlantic great white shark is back. Greg skomal look at this fish. Whitaker look at this fish. Skomal yeah, look at this fish. Whitaker geez. On a tuesday in midseptember, were with dr. Greg skomal, chief shark scientist for the Massachusetts Department of marine fisheries, following an 11foot white shark swimming just feet off the beach near truro on cape cod. Skomal and if youre standing there, you dont know that sharks there. Whitaker you have no idea skomal you dont know that shark is there. Whitaker no idea. Shes like ten feet off shore skomal yeah. Very close now. Whitaker white sharks are so close to shore because thats where their favorite food is grey seals, thousands of which now call cape cod home. Skomal this is the restaurant right here. These sharks have found the restaurant, and theyre waiting for the doors to open. You know . And when those seals begin to leave the beach. You know. Whitaker its dinnertime. Skomal its dinnertime. Whitaker skomal and his team from the Atlantic White shark conservancy are trying to attach electronic tracking tags to as many sharks as they can 230 so far. The way they do it is fascinating. Pilot wayne davis locates sharks from his spotter plane, then guides boat captain john king onto them. Wayne davis use a little gas, john. Hes right on the shoal. Its about as good as its going to get. Whitaker standing on a pulpit on the bow of a small boat, greg skomal wields a long pole that has a dart and a tag at the end. Skomal right, right there. Done. Whitaker you got him . Skomal tagged. Whitaker that was it megan winton beautiful, all right. John king my god. Beautiful, beautiful placement, greg. Skomal thank you, john. Nice work. Whitaker you can see, you can see where it was . Skomal yeah, you can see it right at the base of the dorsal. See it . Whitaker yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Skomal now were going to learn about that fish for the next nine, ten years. Whitaker they will track the fish because the tag constantly emits a ping that is picked up when the shark swims close to acoustic receivers attached to buoys. And how many of these do you have uovermassacses. Whitaker andt skomal thats just us, yeah. And so we can actually track the movements of our white sharks when they leave here. Whitaker the tags also help skomal, and his research colleague megan winton, figure out just how many sharks there are, and have established that cape cod is now one of the worlds white shark hot spots. They regularly haul buoys out of the water and Download Data from them to a tablet that displays each time a tagged shark swims by. Winton lots of white shark detections. Whitaker this tells them a lot about individuals. They have confirmed that theyre loners, and that the same one will often come back to precisely the same hunting ground, year after year. A white shark seemed to be hunting greg skomal in 2018 when it came up, jaws open, right under the pulpit. King oh holy crap skomal it came right up and opened its mouth right at my feet whitaker that shook him up for a bit. But he insists it shouldnt shake up the public. Skomal all i can tell them is, is that the probability of them being bitten is incredibly low. But theres not much more i can say. Whitaker because that fear is primal. Skomal i think that fear is primal. I think its innate. I think its in them, its in us, its in all of us. Whitaker five days after our day on the water off cape cod, we needed a bigger boat, for a very different sharktagging expedition 600 miles to the northeast, just off hay island in nova scotia. Chris fischer morning. Whitaker morning, how are you . We boarded a 125foot Research Ship called ocearch, which has been tagging Atlantic White sharks from florida to canada since 2012. Founder Chris Fischer invited us to join the first day of his 2019 nova scotia expedition. Fischer and we come up here. Weve been here 24 hours. Weve seen two or three sharks, and no one ever even knew to come look here before. Whitaker ocearch launches a team on a small boat to hook white sharks, much as fishermen would, using long lines, bait and floats to keep them near the surface. Fischer hooked in the corner of the mouth. Squared away. Everythings green out here. Whitaker ocearch is a converted alaskan crab boat equipped with a platform thats lowered into the water off one side. As the small boat tows the shark alongside, ocearch fishing master Brett Mcbride leaps onto the submerged platform, into water thats 49 degrees. With the line in his hand, he guides an 1,100pound male white shark onto the platform is raised out of beaching the shark. It offers no resistance, worn out after being hooked and towed for nearly an hour. Mcbride gets right in its face to insert a hose between its giant jaws. Brett mcbride im keeping clean seawater flowing over its gills. Im making sure its getting good oxygen. Whitaker a team member starts a clock. They dont want to keep the shark out of the water for more than 15 minutes. And ocearch chief scientist dr. Robert heuter gives me an opportunity im not quite sure i want. Robert hueter so bill, just go ahead, go ahead. And take your time. Just feel how beautiful that is. Whitaker oh my god. Hueter how smooth. And then go this way. Rub your hand the other way and you feel its kind of bumpy. Whitaker my god. The ocearch team swarms the shark, drawing blood and tissue samples, picking off parasitesag its girth and length. Christian purcell 371 total whitaker thats 371 centimeters, or 12 feet, two inches. The biggest atlantic great white theyve caught was a 16foot female who weighed 3,500 pounds. As Chris Fischer measures this one, bob hueter inserts an acoustic tag, like the one greg skomal attaches with a dart. That doesnt harm the shark . Hueter no, its just, it floats in the body cavity. Fischer lets roll the shark. Everybody step back. Whitaker after the shark is rolled onto its belly. There we are Christina Lobuglio were at 11 minutes whitaker . Chris fischer drills through the dorsal fin. He insists its no more painful than piercing an ear. Hes attaching the tag that really sets ocearch apart in the world of white shark tracking. Fischer this spot tag allows us to track this animal in real time for up to five years. Whitaker the spot tag will send a signal to a satellite each time this sharks dorsal fin comes above the surface of the water. Ocearch has put more than 50 of them on Atlantic White sharks, and displays their tracks on its website. Fischer and thats how you learn not only where they are, but what theyre doing, where they are, which is what you need to know to manage. Right . Wheres the mating . Wheres the birthing . Wheres the foraging . Wheres the gestating . Whitaker while some scientists criticize the ocearch techniques as too invasive, they are gathering a lot of data. 17 Different Research projects will get samples and information from a single shark. Doesnt take much to make everybody happy. Whitaker still, there are a lot of unknowns. No white shark has ever been kept in captivity, and no one has ever seen them mate or give birth anywhere. But there are also discoveries. The ocearch team has confirmed that the waters off long island are an important nursery for baby whites like these, called pups. Did you get him . Skomal yep, got him. Whitaker and back on cape cod, acoustic tags are teaching greg skomal about just how far adult sharks travel. Whats the most interesting thing youve learned about them . Skomal we now know, based on the tagging work weve done the last ten years, is that, when they leave cape cod, they go down to florida, and they spend the time in the gulf of mexico. And they overwinter in these southern climates. But since some of these sharks move out into the open atlantic ocean, and when theyre out in the middle of the atlantic, they dive down at depths as great as 3,000 feet every day. And theres not a scientist on earth that can tell you why they do that. Whitaker scientists have learned how longlived they are. Komal hite sharks, we now know, live over 70 years. Whitaker 70 years . Skomal 70 years. Ker they dt hunting seals until their late teens, but when they do, watch out. In this footage egmal shot, you see a seal leap out of the water with a shark right on its tail. Skomal have you ever seen that before . Whitaker here, the shark catches a seal, and the ocean water explodes in blood red in an instant. The shark then swims away, with half a seal in its jaws. Seals have been protected by federal law since 1972, and some 25,000 now live near cape cod. More seals means more sharks, and thats what worries the swimmers and surfers sharing the water with them. This photo was taken at the cape in september 2019. Great white sharks very rarely attack people. The one that killed a swimmer named Arthur Medici just off this beach last september was the first fatal attack on cape cod since 1936. But it triggered a fear of attacks that can hardly be measured. Scary warning signs on every beach. Stopbleed kits at lifeguard stands. A phone app called sharktivity that reports sightings in real time, with local news doing much the same, and Community Meetings packed with frightened citizens. Woman no sharks or seals are worth a young mans life. Theyre just not. applause whitaker youre the scientist, but you also live here, and, you know, people are afraid. Skomal we cant bury our heads in the sand when it comes to shark attacks. And so, thats in my face every day now. And then it always falls back on the you know, the question of, well, what do you tell your kids to do . You know . Whitaker what do you tell your kids to do . Skomal you know, i i tell my kids, dont go out past waistdeep. Whitaker thats chilling advice, for swimmers, for surfers, and for the Cape Cod Chamber of commerce. Fischer i mean, weve basically got to undo everything jaws did. I mean, weve got half the people on the eastern seaboard terrified about something that almost never happens. Whitaker i saw the teeth on this character here. People who are swimming nearby should not be afraid of that . Fischer no. Theyre clever. Like, even though we dress up like their food and try to fool them, they very rarely get fooled. Whitaker what do you mean . What do you mean, dress up like their food . Fischer you ever seen what someone in a wetsuit looks like, compared to a seal . Whitaker hes got a point. When this white sharks 15 minutes on the ocearch platform ran out, we were ordered off. That was amazing they gave him a name. Fischer sydney whitaker . For the nearest nova scotia town, and began lowering him back into the water. And what you guys have done to him this does not harm or hurt the shark at all . Hueter no, because were were monitoring the stress of the animal throughout. Whitaker after a couple of minutes, h especially when he noticed the ocearch photographer in the water around the corner. Oh,e he sees you, rob whitaker finally, with fish master Brett Mcbride helping steer him by the tail, off went sydney. There he goes. Do your thing. Good luck, old boy. Sydney. Yeah. applause whitaker sydney has been busy in the months since we met him in nova scotia. He migrated as far south as florida, and as of early january his spot tag showed him off the North Carolina coast. ticking how to be shark smart at the shore. At 60minutesovertime. Com.

One a day, and done. Whitaker its safe to say that wolves have an image problem. Since ancient times, theyve been portrayed in fables and legends, and the bible, as fearsome, voracious predators. The story of the big bad wolf may be the most memorable and frightening of all the fairy tales told by the brothers grimm. That grim reputation actually produced a very real result in america in the early 20th century. Wolves were wiped off the landscape trapped, poisoned, and hunted until there was not a single one left in the american west. The National Park service brought wolves back to Yellowstone Park almost exactly 25 years ago, following a bitter debate between wildlife groups, who wanted them restored, and ranchers, who most definitely didnt. Even today, the wolves of yellowstone stir strong emotions. But, as we first reported in 2018, theyve also had an impact that almost no one saw coming. In the dead of winter, Yellowstone Park is a beautiful but forbidding place. Howling wind, subzero temperatures, six feet of snow. Just finding enough food to survive is a profound struggle for every animal. Waterfowl, bison, elk, foxes, they all have to work for every morsel. Yellowstone was the worlds first National Park, founded in 1872. And it remains one of the most visited millions of people come here every summer. But they used to pretty much leave it to the wildlife in the winter until the wolves came back. Woman oh, theyre behind the tree. Whitaker now, reports of a wolf sighting can produce a traffic jam along the one 50mile stretch of road the park service keeps open in the winter. Man oh, we got a wolf up, moving. Woman oh, neat. Whitaker visitors with spotting scopes gather in absolutely frigid weather for a momentary, longdistance view. Doug smith bill, these folks came from germany to see wolves. Whitaker how about that . Doug smith runs the yellowstone wo resh progm for the park service. Smith and no one predicted this would happen. Actually, you know, we whitaker the the the appeal of coming in to see the wolves . Smith yes. And it truly has been amazing. And, hundreds of thousands of people a year, we estimate, come here just to see wolves. howl whitaker wolf tourism pumps 35 million a year into the local economy, much of it spent in the winter, which is prime wolfwatching time. Glen mai weve seen wolves all three days that weve been out. Whitaker glen mai is a retired f. B. I. Agent from arlington, virginia. Kathy lombard is a retired cop from new hampshire. They both paid an outfitter thousands of dollars to take them wolfwatching. So, what is it about wolves that bring you all the way out here from new hampshire, to sit out here and just hope for the chance to see them . Kathy lombard theyve been able to bring wolves back into yellowstone and theyve thrived. So, thats just an awesome thing to see. Whitaker it was january 12, 1995, when the first grey wolves, captured in canada, were carried into Yellowstone Park. It drew both National Attention and fierce opposition. So much that armed guards were posted to protect those wolves. So, the first wolves released into Yellowstone Park were released right back here in this thicket . Smith yes. So, a total of 41, over three years. Whitaker how many are in the park now . Smith weve got 96 in ten packs, and its been roughly 100 wolves the last ten years. Very stable. Whitaker those ten packs, of about ten wolves each, are, without a doubt, the most closely observed and studied wolves on earth. Smith our goal is to keep in touch with each pack. Thats our goal. Whitaker they do that by trying to attach radio collars to at least two wolves in each of the parks packs. Smith so you fly out in the airplane, find wolves in the open. That airplane radios a waiting helicopter on the ground. That helicopter flies out with a gunner in the backseat. Whitaker that gunner is almost always smith himself. Loaded. Okay. Smith and you fly up alongside that wolf, and you shoot a tranquilizing dart into it. Darts in darts in smith five minutes, it goes down. We process the wolves. We take blood. We measure them. We look at their health. And we attach a radio collar. And then we follow them for their life, hopefully. Whitaker that life, by the way, typically lasts about five years. Yellowstone wolves are fierce, and territorial; the leading cause of death is attacks from other wolves. Smith and their look is uncontrollable. That look says, i aint going to conform to your rules. And ill die before i do. And thats powerful. That is a location of a wolf. Whitaker data from the radio collars has helped smiths team to learn volumes about wolf behavior. Woman you can see where the boulder is, by itself. . Hitat also a those wolf watchers find them. Park Service Volunteer Rick Mcintyre is out every day, listening for signals. Rick mcintyre so, that is from a black male wolf, 1107. Whitaker . And then spreading the word. Mcintyre would you like to see a gray wolf . Whitaker i would love to. Mcintyre okay, here you go. So, its a little bit right of center. Whitaker oh, yeah. Oh, look, here comes a whole pack. Wow. Mcintyre so, see, if you count them all, there would be two grays whitaker one, two. Mcintyre and six blacks. Whitaker . Three, four, five, six black ones, and the white one that went by. Mcintyre and there should be a second gray. Whitaker how about that . We had spotted the Junction Butte pack along a ridgeline about two miles away. Like most packs, its led by an alpha male and an alpha female, the only two wolves in a pack who mate, with each other. Mcintyre the gray alpha female is still leading to the right. Whitaker oh, yeah. Mcintyre and you see how the ones behind her are playing. Shes determined to lead them to the west. Theyre running along the top. Whitaker right along the ridge, yeah. Thats magnificent. Smith we can see these wolves from the ground, and its been a sensation. So weve learned a lot about pack dynamics, and personalities, and and how social they are. Whitaker what do you mean . Describe that for me. Smith they want to be together. Theyre a pack animal. So the power of the wolf is the pack. Whitaker nowhere is that power more evident than when a wolf pack is on the hunt for elk, its favorite prey. They work together, because they have to. Smith your average wolf weighs 100 pounds or so, but your average prey animal is much bigger. A bull elks 750 pounds. A cow elks 500. So how is a roughly 100 to 120pound animal going to take that down . Whitaker they do it, doug smith says, both by coordinating their attack, and by zeroing in on vulnerable prey. Smith theyre going to take the weak. So, theyre making their living off of calf elk, old elk, injured elk. Whitaker without wolves, there was an overpopulation of elk in yellowstone. As wolves have cut the size of those herds, theres been an unexpected sideeffect plants that elk feed on have made a comeback, which has in turn produced benefits for other species. Smith all the little trees have come back since wolf recovery. This gully filled with shrubs has all come back since wolf recovery. Whitaker and the wolves are a factor in all of that . Smith very simply put wolves eat elk. Elk eat this. When the elk get reduced, they eat less. So beavers and song birds can respond to the growth and that vegetation. Whitaker doug smith is quick to say that its not as simple as he just made it sound. But, that hasnt stopped some environmentalists from declaring wolves the saviors of yellowstones ecology. Randy newberg theres some people who will try to convince you that wolves could probablyto hunger. Whitaker Randy Newberg is a montana hunter, who hosts a tv show and podcast for hunters. He remembers how emotional the debate over reintroduction was between wolf haters and wolf lovers. Newberg wolves are wolves. They arent the big bad wolf, and they dont have a rainbow shooting out their ass like everyone would think they do. Eric kalsta theres something romantic about a wolf, right . Unless youve seen it chewing on a live cow. Whitaker erik kalstas family has been raising cattle and sheep on this Montana Ranch for 100 years. He says he was worried from the moment the first wolves were brought back to yellowstone, which is about 100 miles to the south. Kalsta you know, they werent going to stay in the park. Theyre a wild animal. Theyll go where they want to go. Whitaker im sure you knew it was only a matter of time before they were going to get here. Kalsta oh, yes. There was no doubt. And there was a set of tracks. Whitaker erik kalsta knew that wolves would follow migrating elk out of yellowstone and onto his ranch, and that theyd attack his livestock if given the chance. He started hiring range riders to watch over his cattle, and he bought guard dogs to help keep wolves away from his sheep. Kalsta live sheep pay for things, live cattle pay for things. Dead ones dont. Whitaker his defensive measures have kept wolves away from his livestock, but neighboring ranchers have lost both cattle and sheep to wolves. Smith the thing thats never monitored, when i talk to these people, is the lost nights of sleep, the nervousness. I saw a wolf track at my place today, or, i actually saw a wolf. Wolves are around. You cant measure or compensate for that. Whitaker are wolf attacks on livestock a serious problem . Smith no, its rare that it happens. But if its happening to you, its a serious problem. Whitaker it was that fear of wolf attacks that drove ranchers and settlers to eradicate them in the early 20th century. After the endangered species act was passed in 1973, wolves were among the first to be listed, and a Campaign Began to restore them to Yellowstone Park. After that happened in the 90s, wolves quickly spread out of yellowstone and into neighboring states so many, that there are now nearly 2,000 in montana, wyoming and idaho. After a long and bitter legal battle, those states finally won the authority to manage and sometimes kill wolves outside the National Park. Has this management of the wolves helped to lessen some of those passions, to calm some of those emotions . Smith i think so. Whitaker so to have wolves, you have to kill the wolves . Smith in some situations, yes. Whitaker the first situation is cutanddried any wolves that attack livestock are immediately killed themselves. Kalsta i think thats helped a lot, at least with the ranching community. People feel better if theyre not powerless to deal with something. Smith and then wolves are hunted. Theres a hunting season on wolves. All three states have them. So having wolves be hunted has probably increased peoples willingness to share the landscape with them. Newberg it looks like theres at least two of them. Whitaker Randy Newberg is living proof of that. He filmed a wolf hunt a few years ago for his tv show. It took him 11 days, and 100 miles of trudging and tracking through the snow. You went out looking for a wolf, and saw how smart they are, how cunning they are, how athletic they are . Newberg yeah. If you want to increase your respect for wolves, go and chase them out on their landscape. Whitaker hunters and rarely see eyetoeye, but they now agree on at least one thing woman weve got a gray. Whitaker wolves are back in yellowstone, for good. Smith people love this. You know, we live in an artificial world. Its stores, and cars, and roads, and buildings. Wolves are real, and people crave it. They love it. We almost have this thirst for Something Real now. ticking hey you know, i do think its weird youve started commuting when you work from home. Ill be in my office. Download audible and start every day off right. Then theres fresh value from subway. Like the six inch oven roasted chicken for just two ninetynine. Its seasoned all white meat chicken raised without antibiotics. Start the year off fresh. Fresh value. Only from subway. We do things differently and aother money managers, dont understand why. Because our way works great for us but not for your clients. Thats why were a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. So, what do you provide . Cookie cutter portfolios . Nope. We tailor portfolios to our clients needs. But you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right . We dont have those. So, whats in it for you . My skin hurt, i felt gross. But then i started cosentyx and i havent really had to think about it. Real people with psoriasis. Look and feel better with cosentyx. Dont use if youre allergic to cosentyx. Before starting get checked for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen. Or if youve had a vaccine or plan to. Serious allergic reactions may occur. Ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. Are confusing quilted northern for robes. Theyre both cushiony, comforting, and add elegance to your home. But quilted northern is not a robe. Its just really nice toilet paper. ticking whitaker joel sartore, an acclaimed National Geographic photographer, is a man on a mission. Hes trying to photograph every species every animal, bird, fish, reptile and insect in captivity. As we first reported back in 2018, joel sartore sides with scientists who estimate that half the species alive today could be extinct by the end of this century, so he travels to zoos all around the world to take pictures of what were losing, and to ignite conservation efforts to prevent extinctions. He calls his project the photo ark. On this ark, the animals go in one by one. Joel sartore hes beautiful, isnt he . Whitaker to catch joel sartore in action, we flew halfway around the world, to the philippines, home to hundreds of unique species. Flew 20 hours to get here. And you came all this way to take a picture of a palawan stink badger . Joel sartore absolutely absolutely. Boy, is he stinky. Whitaker hes smaller than a skunk, but smells worse. Hes part badger, part skunk and he fired a reeking rocket ohhh after he entered the photo cage. Joel sartore how can something that cute be that stinky . Whitaker it smelled so terrible that the next animal to leave the red carpet and head into the photo cage, a rare palawan binturong, took one whiff, smelled stink badger stink, and backed out. Sartore said he should have photographed the stink badger last, but the little stinker is a pungent prize. Joel sartore theres nobody else coming along to photograph a stink badger. Im the only one. And thats the case for 90 of the species i photograph, maybe 95 . These are things that nobody will ever know existed, if it werent for the photo ark. If they could just see how beautiful this thing is, they would care. Whitaker joel cares so much, he spends half the year traveling the world. We saw him work 12hour days in stifling, humid, 100degree heat. Joel sartore okay, lets switch to white. Whitaker it was tough for us just watching him build popup studios, switching between backdrops of black and white. Why did you decide to use either black or white backgrounds . Joel sartore there are no distractions in these pictures. Its just the animal and you. And that animals often looking you in the eye. Whitaker thats when it all works. Heres what happened years ago, when joel tried to photograph a chimp. Nt me th an ur jl sartore so now, doesnt this look nice. Whitaker more than an hour, for this. animals screeching animals can be frustrating, and dangerous, like this fierce luzon warty pig, found only on a few philippine islands. Handlers had herded him into a makeshift photo pen. Joel got as close as he dared, lying in a trough usually used for pig waste. The tusks are sharp. The hooves are sharp. Joel sartore yeah. I, i you know what . Im concentrating. I got a lot to do. Whitaker beyond the tusks and hooves, this pig packs a mean temper. Youve heard the expression when pigs fly . Watch. Joel sartore like a cowover was a pig. Lets see what we got. Ive never had that happen, ever. Hes sharp, you can see him. Were done. Thats good. We got our picture. We dont ever need to photograph this species again. Whitaker but then, there was trixie, perhaps the worlds sweetest orangutan. We met her not far from the meanspirited pig at the avilon zoo outside manila. Joel sartore and were just going to let her see the flash. So far, so good. Whitaker the key question would trixie move in front of the white background . Joel sartore do you think she would want to stand over there . And get her picture . Whitaker shes amazing. Joel sartore awesome, look at that. Ellen sartore aw, sweet girl. Whitaker like a cover girl. Joel sartore if she lays down to look at you, you get down with her. You just lay down on the ground at eye level. She was completely calm. Whitaker later, sartore showed us his favorite trixie shots, at National Geographic headquarters in washington. So what do you think shes thinking . Joel sartore i think she was just thinking, you know, is there a banana in this somewhere for me . laughs a mango . Lets go in there and get her on black. Very nice, very nice. I like the white one better, i think. Its more direct. Its more like shes involved. Shes a partner in the process. Whitaker i put my hand out. I wasnt quite sure she was going to take it, but she did. Joel sartore yeah, its soft. Whitaker and it was soft. Yeah, that was an amazing experience. What makes a great picture . Joel sartore emotion. Thats what you look for in any, in any great photograph. Whitaker whats emotion in an animal . Joel sartore a moment. Were looking for the eyes. Humans are, were primates, and were really, really responsive to eyes. Were all about eye contact. Whitaker but you shoot them like theyre models. Joel sartore we do. Like theyre going in for their High School Senior portrait. Whitaker sartore shoots birds in tents so they wont fly away. This white crowned hornbill posed like a preening pro. Completely different from joels first attempt to shoot this species, back in the states. Ready . Joel sartore yeah. So this lady, her names jen. Not a bashful bird at all. Ow so what she didnt tell me is, that bird is such a badass, he attacks her when she goes in to feed him. This is one of those things where im back here. So when i said, can you put that bird in my tent . She went, sure i can. This is like a 6,000 camera. Doesnt he know that . Ow, god, bleep thats my blood right there. Whitaker thats why he wanted to shoot a calm hornbill in the philippines. Joel sartore very nice bird. Whitaker but here, the red rat snake kept attacking. Joel sartore god, theyre real lungey, arent they . Whitaker fortunately, hes not venomous mark laganga jesus whitaker since he bit our cameraman, mark laganga. Joel sartore i enjoy seeing a 60 minutes cameraman get bit, instead of me. Whitaker but the next snake was extremely venomous. Joel sartore is that the spitter . Whitaker the palawan spitting cobra can blind you if it spits in your eye and it can spit ten feet. Thats why joel wore goggles. But, watch how close he gets to this cobra. I always thought when they had their hood out like that, that meant danger. Joel sartore well, hes reacting to us. Were like skyscrapers to this guy. So, hes going to stand up and look as big as he can. They have a space prepped already. Whitaker in zoos, sartore can shoot more than 20 species in one day. In the wild, it could take several days to get one good shot. Now, with Natural Habitats vanishing, some species can only be found in zoos. Joel sartore a lot of them only exist in zoos. They have these captive breeding programs for some of the rarest animals in the world. So, when people say, well, theyre down on zoos, well, they havent seen a good zoo, and they dont know the conservation effect of good zoos. Whitaker sartore spent his first 16 years at National Geographic taking pictures in the field. He scored numerous magazine covers, and endured various hardships. Joel sartore yeah, thats me. Thats on alaskas north slope. I wanted to show the insect load up there. And also, i hadnt made a good picture in three days, and so the editors here will say, joel, we cant publish your excuses. Whitaker the mosquitoes though, my god. Thats incredible. Joel sartore yeah. My feet itched for a long time. Whitaker he came up with the photo ark idea after his wife developed Breast Cancer. Joel sartore thats my son cole, and my wife kathy. She went on chemo for nine months, and i was grounded. I was home for a year. And so, i was really worried she was not going to make it. But we all made it through. Shes fine today. Its been 13 years, which is great. Whitaker wonderful. Joel sartore it really does make you appreciate how limited our time is. Whitaker so the cancer changed all of your lives. Joel sartore yeah. And started the photo ark. It was a desperate, lastditch effort to use my life for something thats worthwhile, something that could save nature. Whitaker in the bible, the ark saves all the creatures on earth. Is that your goal . Joel sartore exactly. Giddy up. You bet. Whitaker what makes you think you can save them with a photo . Joel sartore we can reach more people now than ever, because we can post to National Geographic, instagram and facebook, and reach over 100 million people, and do it again and again and again. Whitaker his latest pictures are published periodically, and theyve appeared on the empire state building, and the vatican. Joel sartore yeah, the side of st. Peters basilica. The pope was sitting there watching it, which was awesome. Whitaker we flew with joel to the phillipine island of negros. Here, vast forests were cut for timber, robbing wildlife of vital habitat. Joel sartore now theres hardly any lowland forest left, less than 5 here. Whitaker negros has its own type of critically endangered warty pig. This mother was saved from a hunters snare. In the zoo, shes helping to save her species. Joel sartore shes got her babies. And you see that bridle marking on her snout . Thats really definitive. Ats b. Joel sartore i think these are going be on the ground. Whitaker joel, who spends so much time away from home, brought his daughter ellen on this trip. So, what do you think of what hes doing . Ellen sartore i think its extraordinary, what youre doing. Joel sartore really . Ellen sartore i do. Joel sartore aw. Youre going to make me cry. Ellen sartore dont cry joel sartore ive never heard you say that. You do . Ellen sartore yeah. Whitaker but he is gone all the time . Ellen sartore he hasnt been birthdays, just because my birthday is in migration season. So, hes whitaker migration season . laughs joel sartore its true. Whitaker so thats a birthday buster. Joel sartore yeah. Whitaker the next day, sartore showed us a beetle he had spotted. Joel sartore i think hed be worth putting in the photo ark. Whitaker a species he hadnt shot before. So theres nothing too small for you, huh . Joel sartore nothing too small if you can see it with your eyes, well photograph it. Whitaker how big is this guy . Joel sartore oh, that guy is the size of a grain of rice. Whitaker tiny. Joel sartore yeah, tiny. Whitaker so every animal fills up your frame . Joel sartore thats right. Whitaker small or large. Joel sartore hes as big as a polar bear. Whitaker why do you do that . Joel sartore because it gives them all equal say, equal voice. The big charismatic mammals get all the ink. They get all the press, the gorillas and the rhinos and the tigers. Nobodys thinking about these little guys. I am. Whitaker sartore shot another little guy, believed to be the very last member of a nowextinct species. Joel sartore thats the last rabbs fringe limbed frog. Whitaker whats that like, knowing that this animal will not exist anymore, shortly after you take the picture . Joel sartore well, does it make me sad . Sure. But does it inspire me to go out and keep working like i do . Absolutely. We put this together in my office. This just shows you what rodents can look like and what parrots look like. Biodiversity, in a glance. Just primates. Whitaker wow. Joel sartore and weve done a lot more since then. We can go out farther and farther and farther. Hundreds of species. Thousands of species. Just amphibians. Theres so much diversity, but youd never know it. Youd never know it. Whitaker so youve been doing this how long now . Joel sartore 12 years. Whitaker how many species have you photographed . Joel sartore 8,255. But whos counting . Whitaker youre about halfway through. And youre how old now . Joel sartore 55, almost 56. Tickticktickticktick, just as loud as that 60 minutes stopwatch, baby. Whitaker times running out. Joel sartore it is. But, you know, at least my lifell be spent doing something thats hopefully mattered to the world. Whitaker joel tells us hes photographed another 1,000 species since we traveled with him almost two years ago. His total now of species pictured preserved for posterity just under 10,000. ticking cbs sports hq is presented by progressive insurance. Im james brown from the n. F. L. Today. In the a. F. C.

My body is truly powerful. I have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. Because i can still make my own insulin. And trulicity activates my body to release it like its supposed to. Trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. Its not insulin. I take it once a week. It starts acting in my body from the first dose. Trulicity isnt for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if youre allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.
