Acorn, the Nature Nut

Acorn, the Nature Nut

This disc contains the following 24:00 minute programs:

  1. Ominous Arthropods : Learn about some of the scariest and nastiest arthropods in North America. From tarantulas and giant centipedes to alien-like vinegaroons, get the close-up details.
  2. Billions of Crocodilians : Join John Acorn in the swamps of southern Florida in search of crocodiles and alligators. Visit an alligator ranch and experience the joys of alligator watching in the winter.
  3. Exploring Monster Legends : Are there really monsters in the wilderness like Sasquatches and Ogopogi? John Acorn thinks not. He travels deep into Sasquatch Provincial Park in B.C. in search of the truth about hairy man-like monsters.
  4. Ants of the Tropics : The Nature Nut risks life and limb to discuss tropical ants - including the Bullet Ant, whose sting is as painful as a gunshot; leafcutters that carry leaf fragments back to their nest; ruthless army ants; and trap-jawed ants with the fastest mandibles in the animal world.
