Stunning animal photos from 'One Life' on Nat Geo WILD

Dec. 5, 2013

The outstanding natural history documentary "One Life" has been shown in theaters, but Nat Geo WILD is giving viewers a chance to see it again with its debut TV presentation at 7 p.m. CST Dec. 8. Narrated by Daniel Craig, the doc presents vivid, amazing footage of animals doing what it takes to survive, thrive and reproduce in their stunning natural habitats. It's spectacular. These incredible photos only give you a taste of what you will see in the two-hour film.
