Secrets Of The Wild Panda - Travel Video.  National Geographic.  Review:  "Secrets of the Wild Panda" follows in the tradition of National Geographic's best biographies, which profile scientists and the animals they study around the world. 

   Much like Jane Goodall: My Life with the Chimpanzees, this video offers viewers a full portrait of both the humans and the animals involved, in this case, a Chinese scientist who has spent 10 years in the remote mountains of central China studying the elusive panda bear.  He is searching for clues that may help this animal defy extinction.  Since zoologists have had no luck with panda reproduction in captivity, the animals must be saved in the wild.  One in 10 pandas lives in captivity, and these bears are, by far, the most popular and profitable of zoo animals.

   Shy and seldom aggressive, pandas eat for 14 hours a day and consume more than 80 pounds of bamboo.  But in China the bears' food source is being taken away.  In fact, their forest range has declined by half since about 1980.  Amazingly, the Chinese scientist and his student make a rare discovery of a newborn cub, which they hope will teach them how panda babies survive.  They name her Hope and her mother, Double Lucky.  A riddle remains unsolved in how humans can touch the infant panda without causing the mother to reject her like other species might.

   While this video focuses on the pandas, viewers will also learn a bit about Chinese geography and culture.  Most noteworthy is the scientist's passion for pandas; through him we all have the opportunity to learn about this reclusive and endangered animal.  60 minutes.

Dinosaur Hunters: Secrets of the Gobi Desert - Travel Video.  National Geographic.  More than 80 million years ago, the Oviraptor, a strange bird-like dinosaur walked the sandy banks of an oasis in what is now Mongolia's Gobi desert.  A creature that measured some 8 feet in length, its razor claws were deadly weapons of protection, guarding its offspring from constant danger. 
   Now, join a daring expedition of scientists from the American Museum of National History and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences as they uncover a treasure-trove of fossils, shattering long-held myths about this dinosaur's behavior.  Through spectacular on-location filming and state-of-the-art computer animation, National Geographic takes you on a journey to a lost world.

   In 1922 American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews led the first Western archeological expedition into Mongolia's Gobi Desert and uncovered one of the richest dinosaur graveyards in the world.  A changing political climate forced him to leave before he had even scratched the surface of this buried treasure; only since the fall of Communism have Western scientists been allowed back. 

   This hour-long National Geographic video traces the 1997 journey of two paleontologists from the American Museum of Natural History as they retrace Chapman's steps and unearth some groundbreaking finds of their own.  Among these fossils is the skeleton of a female oviraptor and her nest of a dozen eggs, which may represent a link in the evolutionary chain that leads from dinosaurs to birds. 

   The chronicle of the contemporary dig is interspersed with archival footage from Chapman's expedition and impressive 3-D animation that re-creates what the desert may have looked like when oviraptors, ankylosaurs, protoceratops, and other dinosaurs made it their home.  60 minutes.
