NATURE | The Beauty of Ugly | Africa's Ugliest Mammal | PBS

Duration: 02:46

"NATURE" gets up close with perhaps the ugliest mammal in all of Africa, the warthog, in the premiere of "The Beauty of Ugly," airing on PBS Sunday, November 18 (check local listings). The globetrotting ugly pageant reveals the vital functions behind the vile features of vultures, bats, tapeworms, and many others.

Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham narrates the film, part of the 26th season of "NATURE," the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS. Major corporate support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc. and Toyota. For more information, visit www.pbs.org/nature
