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.

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.

Disc #1: Big Cats -
Program 1: Jaguar: Year of the Cat - The magnificent jaguar has long been considered all but impossible to film in the wild. This nocturnal creature is extremely rare, and so well camouflaged you could live alongside it for a lifetime and see only a few paw prints.
   Shot entirely on 35mm in specially constructed sets spread out over 100 acres of Belize rainforest, this unprecedented accomplishment in natural history filmmaking follows one of these elusive creatures both day and night.
   Witness the most complete, compelling, and intimate portrait of the most powerful jungle cat in the Americas ever recorded, and discover the secrets of the jaguar's world.
   Academy Award-winner Sir Richard Attenborough narrates this very special episode of NATURE.

   The remarkable story of Echo and her clan includes mating struggles, difficult births and baby elephants' first steps, mischievous calves, kidnappings, emotional reunions, and occasionally, death at the hands of a hunter.

Disc #3: 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.

Disc #5: Leopards & Lions - Program 1: Silent Roar: Searching for the Snow Leopard - Four perilous years in the making, this milestone event is the first documentary to capture close-up behavioral footage of the beautiful, rugged, and mysterious snow leopard, the elusive big cat of the Himalayas. Veteran filmmakers 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.
   It is a quest that ended in near-tragedy and triumph, as the team 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 uncertain future. While concentrating on the dwindling number of 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 100,000 as previously estimated, it was clear that the great lion had become vulnerable.
   This compelling program features lion experts, farmers and Masai herdsmen as they explore solutions to the problems of saving lions and living with them.

Disc #6: San Diego Zoo - Amazing Tales From the San Diego Zoo! Today's zoos and wild animal parks are much more than meets the eye.

Extraordinary Animal Behavior  - Animal Video.  DVD.  Approximately 2 Hours.
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.

Extraordinary Animals - Animal Video.  DVD.  11 Hours.
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.

Disc #3: Extraordinary Animal Behavior -
  
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.

   Rooted in historical fact and told by members of the community who actually witnessed the hunts, this is a compelling story of interspecies cooperation.

Disc #4: 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.

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.
