I cannot wait to show you all what we've been working on.

[Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom @WildKingdom]

Welcome to a new era of Wild Kingdom...
Our new series premieres Oct. 7 only on NBC.

[Peter Gros @PeterWGros]

It was a pleasure to speak with @Todaysparent on teaching kids about wildlife conservation. Growing up in an area with abundant forests, streams and a backyard pond designed by my grandfather, I became "hooked on nature” at an early age. Read here > https://t.co/H5rlE3DV1g

What an amazing summer this has been so far, and we're just getting started. You can read about my travels with @RaeWynnGrant as we begin filming.
Once again, I find myself thinking of how lucky I am to be co-hosting @WildKingdom Protecting The Wild.

I salute our professional zookeepers and animal caretakers who keep our wildlife healthy, enriched and so passionately cared for in there zoological environments. My hat is off to you!

[Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom @WildKingdom]

Ever wonder what it’s like to work as a zookeeper? This #ZookeeperWeek, we caught up with Allyson Dredla, an animal caretaker at @ZooMontana to learn the ins and outs of what it’s really like to work with wild animals all day. https://t.co/z227ca4qYK

We heard there's an important week about sharks happening, so we caught up with our friends at @GeorgiaAquarium again to learn more, this time about the zebra shark. Watch this quick video 🦈

Happy #FourthofJuly! It’s almost impossible for me to describe the first time I saw a large bald eagle soaring majestically above me. Our Founding Fathers wanted our national bird to symbolize strength, power and freedom. I don't think they could have made a better choice!

“Just as the mother lion protects her cubs, Mutual of Omaha can protect your family.” Remember this line from the classic series? Learn how a common theme of protection brought together the insurance and conservation worlds. More > https://t.co/ReBki79QGU

This new show means so much to me. I know Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler would be proud of the legacy we're carrying on today.

[Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom @WildKingdom]

After an unusually wet winter, a spring super bloom is here at last. What an amazing sight to see.

#EarthDay is this Saturday! It's the perfect day to get outside, enjoy what nature has to offer and do something good for the environment. Simply plant a tree or sustainable garden, take a reusable bag next time you go to the store or pickup trash at a local park. It's that easy!

[Peter Gros @PeterWGros]

It has been a great week so far celebrating #NationalWildlifeWeek with our friends at @NWF! Give them and @WildKingdom a follow for fun facts and cute animals.

[National Wildlife Federation @NWF]

Happy #NationalWildlifeWeek! 🐋🐢🐺

Marlin's conservation message greatly inspired me and influenced my career in wildlife education. For that I say, thank you, Mr. Perkins. I will continue the legacy you started with Mutual of Omaha, spreading the message of preserving our natural world.

[Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom @WildKingdom]

Happy birthday to the #legend himself, Marlin Perkins! He was a pioneer in the nature documentary and conservation space, and we're honored to have had him as our host. We know the show would not be what is it today without him. Watch a short tribute: https://t.co/yVqzUYUJZg

Happy spring! It's a great time to think about our pollinator friends, especially the ones at-risk like bees and monarch butterflies. Learn how to make a pollinator-friendly garden here: https://t.co/DOSbbyw5MM

Throughout my career in conservation, I've had the good fortune to work with incredible women from all over the world. They're just getting started, and it's my pleasure to cheer on their success from the front row. 📣👏

[Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom @WildKingdom]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Meet the women who made Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild possible! We’re grateful for their shared expertise and commitment to wildlife conservation. Read: https://t.co/qOuhouPtgn

I saw hippos surfacing while filming elephants near Lake Kariba. Our guide casually commented, "By the way, hippos also have the highest human fatality rate in Africa." I decided to paddle a little faster! 😆 To safely see a hippo, visit your local @zoos_aquariums-accredited zoo

[Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom @WildKingdom]

Happy #WorldHippoDay from the famous, fabulous Fiona and Fritz. 😍🦛 Residents of @CincinnatiZoo, they help to support awareness and conservation of hippos in the wild. Learn more about Fiona and Fritz and the incredible work the Cincinnati Zoo is doing:https://t.co/DnMfFE02Fm

I had the good fortune to participate in the memorial for @MountainLionP22 last weekend. As many shared their stories and as I observed the crowd's reactions, I left optimistic about the future of preserving more of the natural world for generations to come.
