Wild, wild life

Take a two-hour tour of "Brazil" in this documentary that introduces you to giant anteaters, capuchin monkeys, boa constrictors, dolphins — and the most frightening creature of them all: the dude who greets you at the airport with his version of "The Girl From Ipanema." 8 p.m. Sunday, National Geographic Wild

Go ahead, jump

Who needs elevators when you have "Incredible Flying Jet Packs." Pleasure seeker Nick Macomber attempts three harrowing flights, including one from the 45th floor rooftop of Denver's Four Seasons Hotel. Wonder if that trip comes with free pretzels. 8 p.m. Sunday, Smithsonian

Boston strong
