Born To Be Wild
If you're like most people in America, your daily experience with animals is restricted to dogs, cats, maybe a hamster, a few squirrels. But even the animals believed to be tame and controllable, are still apt to become unpredictable, problematic - even dangerous.
In "Born To Be Wild," 48 Hours takes a look at some of these amazing creatures.
