While some are still weathering the cold this spring, Nat Geo WILD gives viewers the chance to warm up with the beautiful backdrop of Hawaii in its all-new series Aloha Vet.
Dr. Scott Sims is one of Hawaii’s best-kept local secrets. Not your typical veterinarian, he treats both wild and domestic animals, and when islanders need help with their pets and livestock, he’s the one they call. Some clients live in hard-to-reach locations, but if an animal needs help, Dr. Sims always finds a way to get there, even if he has to walk, ride a horse, drive an ATV, fly a plane or swim. It’s a wild job that’s an adventure every day.
In the sneak peek below for the episode “Swimming With Sharks” airing Saturday, April 4, Dr. Sims heads to Oahu to join his friend Dr. Holland on a shark-tagging expedition and run into some complications. Also embedded is an “Aloha Extra” showcasing feeding time at a facility where the sharks chow are laced with radio transmitters. Delicious!
“Aloha Vet” airs Saturdays at 9 PM ET/PT on Nat Geo WILD.
