Not bad considering a full 75% of the show is owned by You Know Who.

I had not noticed those goofs, but I was watching the show somewhat quickly.

In this one they claim all sorts of nonsense like Brainard MN wolves “are the southern most pack in the US”…a simple latitude check shows wolf range in MT, WY, Idaho and Oregon to be far more southern. They show a snapping turtle from the state of Mississippi eat a sauger with small mouth bass swimming around. Carp they claim are “Asian carp” spawning are actually common carp,a totally different species than the Asian carp they then show leaping as the boat goes past.

For a ‘nature show channel’ they make such goofs in every show.

What you’ve got there is a bit of a joke; Read the original post (via the link) to get it. I assure you, the phrase is based on un mot Français. No dogs were harmed during the making of this joke, but there is a wild animal involved!

It would translate in french as Lac de la chienne.
