World's Wildest City: Anchorage is a captivating nature and wildlife documentary series launched in 2016 for Amazon Addon. The show provides an in-depth look at the wildlife, landscapes, climate, and culture that define life in the American city of Anchorage. Anchorage, with a population of over 300,000 people, is a bustling city encircled by some of the wildest and most spectacular wilderness on earth. The city serves as a gateway for nomadic animals exploring the nearly 50,000 square miles of Alaska's wilderness, setting the stage for incredible wildlife spectacles that define the region.

The show is hosted by three expert naturalists: Chris Morgan, a charismatic animal expert with over 20 years of experience in wildlife conservation; Jess Phoenix, a geologist and adventure guide who travels the world's wildest corners to witness geologic activity; and Ryan Van Duzer, an adventurer and outdoor enthusiast who explores Alaska's vast machinery and human structures.

Throughout the eight-episode series, these experts guide us through the striking scenery of Anchorage, observing the local wildlife and sharing stories about Alaska's rich history and culture. From the rugged mountains that frame the city to the bustling harbor that serves as the gateway to the wilderness, viewers are treated to an unforgettable experience.

Each episode showcases Anchorage's diverse array of wildlife, ranging from eagles and salmon to moose and bears. The experts provide valuable insight into the animals' behavior, migration patterns, and the unique adaptations they've developed to thrive in Alaska's unforgiving climate.

In the first episode, "Moose on the Loose," Chris Morgan delves deep into the lives of Anchorage's most iconic residents, the Moose. He explores how these massive creatures behave and navigate through the city's streets. Ryan Van Duzer and Jess Phoenix investigate the city's carbon footprint in "Alaska's Carbon Footprint," exploring how Anchorage deals with sustainability and the environment in the face of climate change. In "Trails In The City", Ryan takes a bike ride around Anchorage, highlighting the city's extensive network of bike trails.

The series is brimming with fascinating stories and captivating visuals that immerse the viewer in Alaska's natural beauty. One awe-inspiring moment comes in episode four, "The Humpback Highway," as Anchorage's teeming waters welcome humpback whales that have traveled thousands of miles for this vital feeding ground. The show also depicts how humans and wildlife coexist in the same habitat, and highlights the challenges faced by Alaska
