Mexico Untamed

Three-Part Miniseries Event Premieres Friday, Sept. 14, at 10/9c. Journey through Mexico’s diverse landscapes to discover the incredible array of wildlife that call this place home. Situated at the crossroads of the Americas, Mexico has been a magnet for animal species. With the Pacific Ocean cooling the west coast, the Caribbean Sea warming the east coast, and rugged mountains running north to south, a mosaic of climates and habitats have evolved here. Large swathes of ochre desert are fringed by the emerald green of the tropical forests, golden sunlight reaches deep into the mangrove swamps and vaporous mist creates a halo around the cloud forests. All this is wrapped in the turquoise blue of the Caribbean Sea and the deeper azure of the Pacific Ocean. Each of wild Mexico’s distinct colorful landscapes is characterized by the animals that live there.
