Running a wildlife rehabilitation center is a constant balancing act between compassion and tough decisions, a theme central to National Geographic Wild’s “Wildlife Rehab.” This Saturday, the focus shifts to leadership and high-stakes animal care at the Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
In “Building Confidence,” center director Jan throws down a challenge, entrusting a new team leader with a critical task: caring for two very sick hawks. Hawks, majestic predators in the wild, are fragile patients in captivity, especially when critically ill. The responsibility is immense, testing not only the leader’s skills in avian care but also their ability to manage pressure and make sound judgments under duress.
Watch the team in action Saturday at 10:00 PM ET on National Geographic Wild.
