Europe’s nature is subject to dramatic change. On the one hand, biodiversity is sinking, on the other hand there is an impressive comeback in the animal world. The reasons for this are manifold: the EU’s nature conservation policy or the increasing urbanization that creates more space for wild animals in the countryside. But the main reason is probably the successful projects of resettlement on the entire continent. The series takes a look at newly restored wild areas in the heart of Europe and formerly extinct animal species, which are introduced by biologists back into their natural habitat and thus create scarcely noticed natural treasures.
Think a root canal is tough? Try performing one on a tiger. Caring for animals is the ultimate medical challenge. These are patients who can't speak, are often dangerous, and represent countless unique anatomical systems. Yet zoo vets somehow manage to give specialized care to each creature they treat. We go behind the scenes at our country's largest zoos and aquariums to witness these doctors handle every imaginable emergency, from an otter with kidney stones to a Silverback Gorilla in need of an ultrasound. It's all in a day's work.

Among his many achievements, three are of prime importance: 1) as a powerful, tireless missionary, he spread the faith to Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy; 2) his letters, which form much of the New Testament, present a basic theology for Christianity; and 3) more than anyone else, he brought Gentiles into the early church, not only Jews, thus 'universalizing' the faith.
