Defenders of the Wild
- Animal Videos.
DVD.
7 Hours.
Disc # 1: Kusasi
and Snowflake -
Their remarkable true stories captured the hearts and imaginations of
the world! Meet international celebrities Kusasi and Snowflake in two
classic episodes of NATURE contained on one specially priced disc.
Julia Roberts is featured in From Orphan to King, the fascinating
saga of how Kusasi, orphaned and
kidnapped as an infant, turned
misfortunes into triumph to become King of the Orangutans.
Snowflake: The White Gorilla, profiles the world's only known white
gorilla, and takes a fascinating look at the dramatic changes in our
relationships with the great apes entrusted to our care.
Disc #2: Tall
Blondes - Lynn
Sherr, the award-winning correspondent for ABC TV's 20/20 news magazine,
hosts this very special episode of NATURE. Based on Sherr's book, Tall
Blondes, this personal odyssey takes a surprising and revealing look at
the magnificent giraffe.
These elegant, graceful, and gentle giants really stand out in a
crowd with their immense size and playful personalities. Sherr visits a
giraffe sanctuary in Kenya, attends the birth of a giraffe at the
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, and recalls the poignant
story of Victor, an injured giraffe at an English zoo whose plight
captured the world's hearts.
Thrill to exciting footage of a giraffe roundup, and eavesdrop as
supposedly silent giraffes communicate with each other. As Sherr tells
viewers, "You don't have to be tall or blonde to fall in love with these
wonderful animals."
Disc #3: Pale Male
- Of the millions
of newcomers who flock to New York City, a red-tailed hawk’s astounding
arrival in 1991 made history. No other red-tailed hawk had ever
attempted to make Manhattan his territory. Affectionately dubbed Pale
Male, he made an exclusive Fifth Avenue apartment building his home.
Pale Male became an instant celebrity who made New Yorkers’ hearts
and imaginations soar. Oscar-winner Joanne Woodward narrates this
award-winning presentation of the Emmy-honored PBS series, NATURE.
Join the close-knit community of bird-watchers who faithfully
gather daily to follow the progress of this exquisite, powerful bird of
prey as he hunts Central Park’s wild creatures, courts his mate on Woody
Allen’s balcony, builds a penthouse nest, fiercely protects his family
from attacking crows, and encourages his baby chicks to fly.
Pale Male and his family become a magnificent obsession for the
captivated crowds below. To the regulars on the beach, it’s better than
Broadway. And so is this very special program that the Audubon Society
has proclaimed “a classic.”
Disc #4: Cloud: Wild Stallion of
the Rockies -
Program 1 - Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies - Cloud is a wild horse
of a different color--almost pure white. And his regal bearing and
feisty personality make him stand out all the more.
From the day of his birth in the Rockies, he so enthralled Ginger
Kathrens that she began to follow his story, filming him and his fellow
wild horses of the Arrowhead Mountains over the course of seven years.
But in the highly competitive "culture" of wild horses, was Cloud
capable of becoming the great band stallion she expected he could be?
This first of two films documents the challenges he faces on the way to
maturity.
He is captured in a government round up and released without his
family, and battles with other stallions to win a family of his own.
This remarkable program sheds light on the rarely seen complexities of
wild horse society, especially its strong need for family in an
unpredictable world.
Program 2 - Cloud's Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns - Is there a
beautiful new Cloud on the horizon? In this second film, Ginger Kathrens
unveils the next two years of her Cloud chronicles. Cloud is now a band
stallion, with a family to care for. A new chapter of his life begins.
Now, he is a father with two sons.
The one he will raise is not of his blood. The other is Cloud's
spitting image, but will never know him as a father. Yet Cloud's legacy
is more than the passage of his genes, from father to son. He will also
pass on all he has learned in the mountains to become a band stallion.
His adopted son will profit from Cloud's skills as a protector, leader,
and caretaker.
And that may one day count for more than blood. But will the family
survive the hazards of their environment--drought, storms, lightning,
fire? You will not rest until you have seen this poignantly powerful
tale of nature at its wildest.
Extra Feature:
My
Life With Cloud -
Filmmaker Ginger Kathrens loves horses, but she has never known a horse
as charismatic and fiercely independent as Cloud.
In her own words, Kathrens gives fascinating insights on her years
spent in the Rocky Mountains behind a camera, tracing the physical and
social development of this uniquely beautiful wild stallion.
Disc #5:
Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History
-
We enlisted them in the space race and the fight against AIDS; we
trained them to entertain us. But the treatment of chimpanzees in
America over the last half-century has been surprisingly unkind for our
next of kin in the animal world.
Meet the rescuers at sanctuaries like Fauna Foundation, Save the
Chimps, and Center for the Great Apes, who are determined to see that
the traumatized residents can finally be allowed to fell like chimps.
Disc #6: Shark
Mountain -
Husband and wife underwater filmmakers Howard and Michele Hall have
risked the dangers of the ocean, and explored its mysteries. In this
very special episode of NATURE, the Halls take you along on the
expedition of a lifetime to Cocos Island.
World famous for its sharks, this tiny outpost 300 miles into the
Pacific off the coast of Central America was once a haven for pirates.
But the Halls are seeking their own brand of treasure.
Spectacular footage shot in high definition video of this
beautiful wilderness where thousands of sharks and fantastic creatures
gather in the currents beyond the reach of humans.

Animals Gone Wilder!
-
Animal Video.
DVD. Approximately 2 Hours.
Program
#1: Animals
Behaving Worse - The more humans invade unsettled areas, the more often
our paths and animal's paths will cross.
From burglarizing baboons in South Africa to invading Asian carp in
the Great Lakes, animals are being forced to apply wickedly ingenious
natural talents to survive in an increasingly human world.
Animals Behaving Worse is at once comic and bizarre, with tropical
drink-sipping monkeys in the Caribbean, and sea lions squatting on
sailboats in Southern California.
But it is also a cautionary tale, as animals wreak devastating
ecological harm and pose a lethal threat in their struggle to stake
territorial claims. Rated TV-G.
Program #2:
Murder in the Troop - For the child of the ruling family, life becomes a
nightmare when his father is deposed, his twin brother is murdered, and
his mother's affections commandeered.
It sounds like a political thriller with echoes of Shakespeare. But
it is not fiction. It is not even human! This is the true story of the
social chaos that sweeps a society of baboons in Zimbabwe, when its male
leader is overthrown.
The constant threat of leopards, pythons and crocodiles, as well as
the oncoming dry season, spurs greater competition for food and brings
the troop's inherent rivalries and intrigues to the surface. Rated
TV-PG, V.

space between animals and humans.
Program 2:
The Good, the Bad, and the Grizzly - In The Good, the Bad, and the
Grizzly, America's greatest predator struggles on in a modern frontier.

Bears
-
Animal Video. DVD.
Approximately 2 Hours.
Go face-to-face with
the mighty grizzly--twice!
Program
1: Showdown at
Grizzly River - During most Alaskan summers, the McNeil River Falls is
swimming with salmon – enough to feed all the grouchy grizzly bears
looking to fatten up after six months of slumber.
But this year is different. The salmon is scarce, and the
competition for the best fishing sports is fierce.
Where does that leave Toughie, the impetuous little female cub who
is spending her last year at her mother’s side? As mom competes with
Woofie, Creek Bear, and other alpha males to catch the remaining fish,
Toughie watches and waits, hopefully learning enough to survive the
coming years alone.
Their showdown at Grizzly River is a natural story of breathtaking
beauty and spine-tingling confrontation.
Program 2:
Walking With Giants, The Grizzlies of Siberia - Who says that given the
chance, a ten-foot-tall, 1500-pound grizzly bear would tear you limb
from limb? Certainly not naturalists Charlie Russell and Maureen Enns.
They contend that this growing predator is an intelligent social
animal that isn’t instinctively hostile to human beings. To prove their
point, they go to Siberia’s Kamchatka Peninsula to live with a group of
grizzlies that have never been with people before.
Unexpectedly, they become foster parents to three orphaned cubs,
hoping to fatten them up and teach them the skills they need to survive
in this bear-bite-bear world.

Hugh Miles and Mitchell Kelly ventured into one of the world's most
brutal environments to find and film the snow leopard, which has been
seen only by a privileged few.

conquers this Everest of the natural world with unprecedented footage of
snow leopards mating, hunting, feeding, and in one fleeting glimpse, a
mother leading her fluffy snow leopard cub.
Program 2:
Vanishing Lions - As the largest predator in Africa, the lion should
have nothing to fear. But the king of the savannah is facing an

elephants and rhinos, nobody suspected the biggest of the big cats was
in trouble.
When the number of lions turned out to be less than 30,000 and not

become vulnerable.

Program
1: Can Animals
Predict Disaster? - The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 was one of
the worst disasters in human history, with nearly 300,000 people killed.
Yet, incredibly, almost all of the animals in the area survived.
Did they sense the coming disaster in
time to flee? When disaster looms,
does the earth send signals that animals can pick up, but humans cannot?
Can we harness these skills to save human lives before disaster
strikes? Join scientists around the world as they explore these animal
omens, and re-examine ancient ideas about how animals can predict
disaster, which are now gaining credence in scientific circles.
Program 2:
Killers in Eden - For nearly 100 years, the Australian coastal town of
Eden was the setting for a remarkable collaboration between two
species--humans and killer whales--as they joined in hunts for migrating
baleen whales.
Teams of killer whales would actually herd the plankton-eating
baleen whales into the bay at Eden, and notify the whalers that they had
arrived with prey by smacking their tails on the water.
Then, they would wait for the hunters to arrive with their boats
and harpoons to participate in the kill and share in the spoils.
Rooted in historical fact and told by members of the community who
actually witnessed the hunts, this is a compelling story of interspecies
cooperation.

The following NATURE
DVDs are available separately for $19.99 each.
Disc
#1: Waddlers and
Paddlers -
Program
1: The World of
Penguins - What bird in its right mind would give up flying to learn how
to swim? Penguins did that millions of years ago, but they have been a
wild success ever since, becoming graceful swimmers and adapting
themselves to a wide range of environments, from the bitter cold of the
Antarctic to the scorching heat of the equator.
While they stiffly and comically waddle when making their way
across land, this engrossing program helps you to look past the
stereotypes to see the resourcefulness of these "strange birds."
Every penguin species seems to have its own challenges to overcome,
but none is more amazing that that of the Emperor penguins, who travel
to the polar ice region every year to mate.
Taking off to find food, the females leave their eggs with the more
blubbery males, who spend the dark, Antarctic winter keeping them
warm--without having a thing to eat. This fascinating and delightful
program is as refreshing as a blast of Arctic air.
Program 2: A
Sea Otter Story: Warm Hearts and Cold Water - The sea otter learns
everything from its mom, who is among the most patient and nurturing
parents in the wild.
But what happens if a furry, playful little otter pup loses its
mother? This program takes you to
California's Monterey Bay Aquarium,
where a special group is trying to train otter orphans for survival in
the wild.
Staff members serve as surrogate moms, nuzzling these charming
creatures, showing them how to dive for food, and teaching them the
otter practice of using rocks as tools. Six to eight months later, they
release them back into the wild and hope for the best.
But can pups, no matter how smart, really learn from humans? Will
they eventually transmit that knowledge to their offspring? Like a great
thriller, this touching story keeps you in its grip waiting for the
answers.
Disc #2:
Antarctica -
Program 1: The
End of the Earth - Prepare yourself for a full blast of this fierce,
remote, and astonishingly beautiful part of the Earth that wreaked havoc
on the legendary Shackleton Expedition, as well as other expeditions
that adventured to Antarctica.
You will look directly into the face of the Katabatic, the
downward-sloping wind that decimates life, dictates the Earth's weather,
and sculpts beautifully massive forms in the ice and snow. Marvel as
scientists and explorers alike brave the frightening conditions to
uncover "the end of the earth."
Program 2:
Under Antarctic Ice - Beneath the surface of stunningly cold water, an
abundance of lifeforms and icescapes can be found.
Academy Award-winner Hilary Swank narrates encounters with
jellyfish that have thirty-foot long tentacles, sponges the size of
large mammals, killer whales, and more in this fascinating look at what
lies in the ocean depths beneath the surface of one of the coldest
continents on Earth.

The Dolphin Defender - You will be swept away by wildlife filmmaker and
ocean conservationist Hardy Jones' compelling and inspiring odyssey into
the dolphin universe.
Dolphins are Jones' life's work. What started as a quest to
communicate with these beautiful, friendly, and intelligent creatures
became a twenty-five-year crusade to protect dolphins against man's
greed.
How effective can a man with a camera be in giving dolphins and
killer whales a fighting chance to survive against fisherman's nets,
captivity, environmental destruction, and horrific, senseless killings?
Disc #5:
Ocean Wonders -
Program 1:
Encountering Sea Monsters - Enter the gloomy green ocean depths with
deep-sea cameraman Bob Cranston to discover fantastic worlds and the
beautiful but deadly creatures that inhabit them.
Nothing in science fiction can prepare you for a creature with a
beak like a parrot, no bones in its body, three hearts, blue blood, skin
that can change colors, and arms growing out of its lips!
Cranston enlists the help of scientists and experts to enter the
world of squid and octopus, where cannibalism is practiced daily, mating
can involve amputation, trickery is everywhere, and size means
everything and nothing.
Tim Matheson (Animal House) narrates this tense and thrilling
program.
Program 2:
Oceans of Glass: Monterey Bay Aquarium - How does an aquarium work? What
is the science behind the magic? Monterey Bay Aquarium is recognized as
one of the most significant and spectacular aquariums in the world.
Its pioneering displays of realistic undersea environments
entertain and educate two million annual visitors. Emmy-winning actor
Peter Coyote (E.T.) narrates this intriguing program that offers a rare
glimpse at the complex operations required to create and maintain the
magical exhibits of more than 35,000 animals and plants, and chronicles
how the aquarium successfully exhibited a great white shark for a
record-breaking 198 days.
Disc #6:
Pandas -
Program 1:
Pandas of the Sleeping Dragon - With its furry white head, black-ringed
eyes, and look of perpetual amusement, the great panda bear has lumbered
into the hearts of people around the world.
Unfortunately, this endangered creature may be making its last
stand in habitats like the bamboo forest in China's "Mountains of the
Sleeping Dragon."
NATURE's George Page leads you through this misty and exotic land,
catching the panda in its most frequent activity: foraging for and
crunching on bamboo shoots. China has named these gentle animals a
national treasure, and this intimate and charming close-up shows you
why.
Program 2:
The Panda Baby - The San Diego Zoo faced a bear of a challenge: becoming
the first place outside China to successfully breed and raise a panda in
captivity.
Would the zoo be able to gain the full cooperation of panda experts
at China's Wolong Conservation Center? And what would it do about its
potential father bear--an older panda with little interest in
procreation? Actor Matthew Modine tells a fascinating, cross-cultural,
inter-species story that offers dramatic twists and turns as well as
surprising insights into panda mating, reproduction, and "child care."
In bringing up baby, the zoo raises hopes and fears for the future of
all endangered species.

Heroic Animal Rescues
-
Animal Video. DVD.
Approximately 2 Hours.
Program
#1: Katrina's
Animal Rescue - Go behind the scenes of what is being called the largest
animal rescue operation in United States history! When hurricane Katrina
struck New Orleans, the city's human residents were not the only ones
who had to cope with flooded and devastated homes.
More than 250,000 forsaken-pets-beloved family-members were left
stranded by the storm's
destruction.
Witness stories of joy and heartbreak as rescue workers risk their
lives to venture into polluted floodwaters and break into abandoned
homes to rescue animals half mad with hunger, thirst, and stress; vets
work nonstop to provide medical treatment to rescued animals; and
volunteers help
returning
families look through thousands of cages to find their precious pets.
Laura Dern narrates.
Program #2:
Underdogs - Henry Winkler narrates this moving program that captures the
powerful bond that develops between two trainers and their canine pupils
upon whom everyone had given up.
Holly, an eighty-five pound bloodhound with a hyperactive and
destructive nature, had been removed from six different homes by the
time she was ten months old. Herbie, a two-year-old bearded collie,
attacked livestock and was at risk of being shot by a local farmer.
In America and England, trainers Larry Allen and Barbara Sykes
recognize the potential of these unwanted and abandoned animals, and put
their professional reputations on the line to transform them into
valuable working dogs.
It is Holly and Herbie's last chance for a new beginning, and it
all comes down to the next twelve weeks to turn their lives around.

Holy Cow
-
Animal Video. DVD.
56 Minutes.
Have we changed the cow-–or has the cow has changed us? Human history,
biology, agriculture and economics have all been affected by this
influential farm animal.
Societies that learned to domesticate
the
cow prospered, while those that did not were left behind.
The cow is an animal that has evolved to eat pretty much anything and
miraculously transform it into milk and meat, and a whole range of other
products that sustain our daily lives–clothing, fertilizer for our
crops, fuel for our fires.
A valuable commodity to some, religiously revered by others, it is
a beast of burden, a means of transportation, and a way of life.
This creature’s many gifts have sustained and supported the human
race on our journey to civilization, and each of us continues to owe a
daily debt to the humble, extraordinary and holy cow.
