National Geographic Channel’s Untamed Americas is a four-hour miniseries event that takes viewers across North, Central, and South America. Crossing harsh, dry deserts, trekking through forests and circling the coasts, Untamed Americas takes a fresh look at life, death, familiar creatures, and scientific revelations.

Featuring rarely-filmed animals and never-before-seen behaviors, Untamed Americas presents the great outdoors just outside our own backyards as you've never seen them before.

The education resources on this page will help you bring content about wildlife and ecosystems in the Americas to your classroom.
