The

the
natural
world
and
the
incredible

for

documentary
titled
Endangered
which
begins
streaming
on

from
April

"Ellen's
dedication
to
the
environment
and
her
love
for
all
animals,
including
the
most
endangered
creatures
who
call
our
planet
home,
is
unmatched...
We
welcome
Ellen
and
her
team
to
the
Discovery
family
as
she
brings
her
humour,
her
voice,
and
her
ability
to
inspire
to
these
important
passion
projects," says
Nancy
Daniels,
Chief
Brand
Officer,
Discovery
and
Factual.
"I'm
so
excited
to
partner
with
Discovery.
I'll
get
to
discover
all
kinds
of
things
about
incredible
animals.
For
instance,
did
you
know
the
Ring-Tailed
Lemur's
tail
is
longer
than
its
body?
I
think
that's
his
tail.
I
hope
that's
his
tail.
I
have
so
much
to
discover
with
Discovery,"
says
Ellen
DeGeneres.
