Shocking sights, weird creatures on Animal Planet

MANILA, Philippines - Animal Planet has a showcase of shocking sights and wonderfully weird creatures via three new shows this month.

Nature’s Weirdest Event, airing Tuesdays at 9, explores the weirdly remarkable things wildlife has to offer, from bizarre family behaviors of sibling creatures eating one another to a frog developing its young in its mouth to 15 other species and strange takeovers. Definitely, fact can be a lot stranger than fiction.

Tanked returns to dunk viewers into the rowdy, family-owned business of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM), one of the most successful builders of aquariums. Its new season airs Fridays, 9 p.m.

Animal Planet’s new series Dr. Dee features Dee Thornell, a hero to the animals who caters to a slew of creatures, from sled dogs to alpacas to reindeers. Watch Dr. Dee as she pilots planes, operates four-wheelers and sometimes drives a horse and buggy to reach her patients. Dr. Dee and her staff handle extreme cases and even more extreme clients unique to the Alaskan frontier. Whether it is a family with a pet bear or a gold miner with a pet rat, no client is off limits at Dr. Dee’s Animal House. The show airs until Nov. 23.
