IdahoPTV Director of Content Ron PisaneschiHi, I'm Ron Pisaneschi. My Pick for next time is Nature's "The Himalayas." Despite their forbidding appearance, the highest mountains in the world are rich with a surprising array of plants and animals. Snow leopards, red pandas, Asiatic black bears, musk deer, Tibetan foxes and high-flying birds populate the heights. Great valleys draw warm wet air in from the tropics, creating rainforests at 8,000 feet, each one a tropical paradise like the long-sought Shangri-la. That's Nature's "The Himalayas," Wednesday, February 15th at 7:00 p.m. MT/PT. And that's my Pick for next time.
