National Geographic-Artic Kingdom: Life At The Edge



































Stalk the Arctic ice with its fiercest predator, the polar bear, as it prowls one of the most forbidding places on the planet - a hidden kingdom of magnificent creatures. Armed with a keen sense of smell and backed up by 1,700 pounds of fur and fangs, the polar bear stands alone at the top of the food chain. Yet many other hunters manage to survive in and around the harsh Arctic waters from the savvy arctic fox to the massive, whiskered walrus.

The Arctic ice is revealed as a place of danger and drama where animals are stranded on frozen waters, trapped between moving sheets of ice, and caught in the struggle to survive. Brave the worst that nature has to offer for a rare visit to the Arctic Kingdom: Life at the Edge.

National Geographic-African Wildlife




























Witness the realities of birth, death and survival in this vivid encounter with the animal world. AFRICAN WILDLIFE was filmed in Namibia's Etosha National Park over the course of two years, capturing extraordinary close-ups of animal behavior: a wildebeest giving birth, a zebra mother successfully defending her foal from the swift attack of a cheetah, and a young springbuck alerting his herd to the presence of a predator with stiff-legged leaps.

National Geographic-Foxes Of The Kalahari


































As the rains leave the Kalahari Desert, many desert animals in search of greenery follow them. The bat-eared fox remains through the dry season and waits out the long, dry months, determined to survive.

National Geographic- King Rattler



































Bruce Means was associate producer and appeared in KING RATTLER, an hour-long National Geographic Explorer film about the natural history of the world's largest rattlesnake, North America's most spectacular predator, and America's most dangerous snake. David Wright was the producer/ cinematographer for King Rattler. The documentary reveals that the eastern diamondback is as American as the bald eagle, yet it is poorly known and misunderstood. The eastern diamondback is a docile snake, loathe to strike or bite unless provoked. The documentary tells the results of Bruce Means's 35 years' research on the natural history of the eastern diamondback, including a life-threatening envenomation he received while on a remote barrier island by himself. Most of the footage was filmed within 30 miles of Tallahassee, Florida, on property owned by Coastal Plains Institute.
