These brainiacs will have you cowering behind the sofa as they flaunt their intelligence and apply logic to fulfill instinctual needs

We showcase some of the strangest, most shocking animal appendages on the planet, and uncover their evolutionary advantages.

Creepy Cures

If it creeps, crawls, buzzes or sheds its exoskeleton, there's a chance it could cure an illness that's stumping modern medicine. Parasitic worms, flesh-eating maggots, blood-sucking leeches, and skin-nibbling fish -- man runs from these creatures and often tries to eradicate them. But scientists and MDs are finding out just how much we need these creepy-crawlers to stay healthy. We explore the healing properties of the animals many think are disgusting, but sometimes turn out to be lifesavers.

Happy Hour

Nat Geo WILD explores nature as it gets rolling drunk and spaces out, and delves into the importance, or lack thereof, of intoxication in the animal kingdom. Meet monkeys that binge drink and throw frat parties, elephants that go on drunken rampages through villages and lemurs that get high off millipedes. And when a jaguar's hunting skills may have been enhanced by chewing on psychedelics, scientists question whether or not there are evolutionary benefits to psychoactive compounds.

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
