North Carolina's Big Game
Season 5 Episode 5 | 27m 56sVideo has Closed Captions
A look at the North Carolina's big Game of the Great Smoky Mountains.
12,000 years ago, the people who first lived in what is now known as North Carolina, shared the land with some very large animals -- elephants, big cats, wolves, elk and bison. Most of these animals are gone from our state today, but we still see big game around the state. In this episode we take a look at deer, bear and wild turkey.
