Superquark

Season 22 Episode 3: Episode 3

In the third episode of SuperQuark, another documentary from the BBC's Operation Wilde series, we will travel to the most remote places on earth to follow the work of doctors and surgeons who go to the aid of large animals injured by poachers during their hunting trips, or torn apart by deadly traps. This is the case of the giraffe that we will see shortly, which got stuck with a leg in a trap, and destined to die without the necessary care. But chasing and capturing a giraffe without hurting it is difficult and even more difficult is to anesthetize it due to its particular anatomy. We will also see a brain operation on a bear performed in very difficult conditions. This first aid in nature manages to bring suffering animals back to life, but above all represents a way to repair the atrocities committed by other men. It may seem like another planet, yet it is here on Earth, just four hours' flight away from us.
