Creating Hope for the Natural World
Creating Hope for the Natural World
Host Peter Gros spent his childhood watching Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler navigate the wild wonders of our natural world. So, when he was asked to join the Wild Kingdom team in 1985, he jumped at the chance. As host of the new series Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild, Gros feels honored to continue the legacy of the original show.
Good News to Howl About
Recently, Host Peter Gros worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Alligator River Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina, and the Endangered Wolf Center in St. Louis regarding conservation programs for the red wolf and Mexican grey wolf. Peter stressed that the image of the big, bad wolf that we learned in fairy tales as children couldn’t be further from the truth.
