	<description><![CDATA[Wednesday, January 18 at 10:00 p.m.In a new, four-part series, veterinary specialists and biologists perform an autopsy on a large wild animal to uncover the secrets of its anatomy. The series features veterinary scientist Mark Evans, comparative anatomist Joy Reidenberg and evolutionary biologists Richard Dawkins and Simon Watt.In episode one, "Sperm Whale," Evans and Reidenberg dissect a sperm whale€s enormous organs to reveal the secrets of this 45-foot deep-sea giant, which stranded and died on Pegwell Bay, Kent, England. As the team ventures inside the whale, biologist Watt tracks whales in the Azores with a modern-day Jonah, Malcolm Clarke, who shows him the huge number of squid beaks in a whale€s stomach. Evolutionary biologist Dawkins, marveling at the gigantic teeth that have evolved in the lower jaw of a sperm whale, digs out his copy of the King James Bible for a reading about Leviathan from the Book of Job.Pictured: Scientists examine a sperm whale that stranded and died on Pegwell Bay, Kent, England.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Wednesday, Mat30 at 10:00 p.m.In Florida€s Everglades, veterinary scientist Mark Evans and comparative anatomist Joy Reidenberg meet €python hunters€ who are attempting to control the python population (approximately 100,000) through a cull. They join reptile expert Jeanette Wyneken to dissect two pythons: a nine-foot male and a 14-foot female. The program explores the science of slithering, as well as the development of €infra-red goggles€ that let the snakes hunt warm-blooded prey in the dark and a flexible jaw that allows them to stretch their mouths around huge prey, including alligators. The scientists make an amazing discovery in the female: ovaries bulging with 40 egg follicles ready to be fertilized. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins describes how snakes evolved from four-legged lizard-like ancestors, and biologist Simon Watt finds out what it feels like to be crushed by a real-life python.]]></description>
