6/3/2012 Patrick Hosts New Series For National Geographic

Sir Patrick Stewart fronts a new series for Nat Geo that explores the incredible powers of survival harnessed by some of the world’s deadliest animals. The 3 x 60-minute series Animal Superpowers will investigate creatures such as shape-shifting octopuses, which change the colour of their skin in an instant, and salamanders that can regrow lost limbs. The series premieres on Nat Geo Wild on June 3, 2012 @ 8 pm EST. It comprises a mix of location filming, following scientists as they track the animals, and CGI animation to get an inside look at the creatures’ anatomy and biology. Stewart hosts the series in an immersive CGI-enhanced ‘animal ark’, that allows him to interact with virtual models of the creatures. Watch First Episode
