Premieres: October 9

Network: Animal Planet
Over 100,000 people are killed each year by wild animals, but equally as astounding is the fact that hundreds of people beat the odds and survive the most brutal maulings, most poisonous bites and deadliest stings. Why do some people live and others die, and how did the lucky survive?

Question, I watched the Brotherhood episode, on the chimp preserve, AMAZING. I know two men survived but what happened to the other white males in the group who fled the vehicle earlier? Did they find them?
I survived a gun shot wound while hunting and had to get to my grandparents house. Miraculously I survived while my left arm was only hanging on by a little skin. Wondered if you might want to make a story of my tragedy at only 14 years old in 1968. My name is:

Luv the tv show! Watching it right now!!!!!!
I have seen alot of survival stories about different shark attacks, is it true that if a shark doesnt have the advantage of surprize it is less likely to attack?
I’m agreeing with Lynne Murphy. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE OTHER TWO WHITE GUYS THAT FLED THE CAR????
HOW THE HELL COULD YA’LL LEAVE THAT OUT OF THE EPISODE? WHAT A HUGE OVERLOOK!
I think this is the series that I played the roll of a father who’s daughter was bitten by a rabbid bat. Both parents did nothing about the bite, until it was pretty much too late. As an actor I would love to know if this was the Series, I know it was for Animal Planet. Any info would be greatly appreciated, as I would love to copy the show when it airs. The story was quite intense, I was privileged to be a part of the episode. I would be willing to pay for a copy of the dvd at airing time.
watched I’m Alive 2/15/2011. The family was somewhere in a park, a Mother, her son, her daughter. A bear attacked her son, she saved him, and she was attacked, left bleeding, was saved by the park rangers. They saw the bear, shot him, but the little girl was not alive. Did they kill the bear? The mother was in the hispital in a coma for a month, the little boy had a bad head wound.
******CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION?????********
Please, PLEASE!!! can SOMEONE, ANYONE tell us what the heck happened to the other americans that fled leaving Gary and Melvin on the “Brotherhood” episode?
I agree Johnny R, How could they leave this out. This just makes me more curious. The show is usually really good at giving us all the info on everyone in the episode. What happened?
What the heck!!!!! What happened to the other 2 Americans on the Brotherhood episode in the Chimp sanctuary!? This is horrible to do to viewers! Please someone answer the question!
