Flip on the National
\nGeographic Channel<\/a> and you’ll find animals in the wild sharing time
\nwith shows on science, exploration, history and world culture.<\/p>\n

When you flip on
\n Nat Geo WILD, soon to be available in the United States for the
\nfirst time, it’ll be all wild, all the time — and available in HD.<\/p>\n

The 24-hour WILD was
\nintroduced in Hong Kong three years ago and is available in more than 50
\n countries, said Geoff Daniels, the executive in charge of programming
\nfor the new network. The United States will be added March 29, nine
\nyears after Nat Geo went on the air.<\/p>\n

WILD has been one
\nof fast growing National Geographic projects internationally, Daniels
\nsaid. High definition makes the timing right and the viewing awesome, he
\n said.<\/p>\n

High definition, Daniels said, gives filmmakers
\nnew power to peel back the mysteries of the wild world, including the
\ndaily struggles of life in the wild.<\/p>\n

"We’re not going to
\n shy away from getting viewers closer to that experience," he said.<\/p>\n

Daniels warned viewers that the new network isn’t about animals gone
\nwild but animals IN the wild.<\/p>\n

"We are not aiming at
\nkids, but night in and night out, there
\nwill be a lot of programming that parents and children alike can be
\nreally comfortable coming to," he said. "We’re not doing this for cheap
\nthrills."<\/p>\n

What will people see? Two new series on WILD
\nare "Rebel Monkeys" and "Expedition Wild with Casey Anderson."<\/p>\n

"Rebel Monkeys" looks at a sacred gang of monkeys who live at the
\nGalta Temple in the Indian city of Jaipur. A drought has threatened
\ntheir food supply and camera crews follow them as they search for food —
\n and often find trouble — on the streets of the city.<\/p>\n

Anderson is a naturalist whose best friend and best man
\nat his wedding is a 900-pound grizzly bear named Brutus. His show looks
\nat some of North America’s mightiest animals, including his pal.<\/p>\n
