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.

National Geographic-White Wolf

On Canada's Ellesmere Island, on the tundra 500 miles south of the North Pole, award-winning photographer Jim Brandenburg and biologist David Mech gain the confidence of a pack of arctic wolves and are allowed to spend the summer months filming their behavioral patterns. Released in 1988, this video still stands as remarkable documentation of humankind's first interaction with the isolated white wolf. Never persecuted or hunted by humans, they are more tolerant than other wolves to their human observers. In fact, Brandenburg astonishingly goes into a cave where a mother white wolf is raising her pups and, after several failed attempts, even follows the pack on a hunt. Brandenburg and Mech return for two summers, and their observations reflect a dramatic change in the social structure of the pack. --Cristina Del Sesto


Journey to the snow-covered slopes of Canada's Ellesmere Island to observe a remarkable pack of white arctic wolves. Shielded by their remote and inhospitable climate, these wild animals have not yet learned to fear man. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, an award-winning photographer and veteran biologist team up to achieve scientific and cinematic history by producing WHITE WOLF, the most intimate film about wolf behavior ever made.

National Geographic -Great Bear Rain forest

ALong the coast of British Columbia lies an enchanted wilderness, where bear hunting wolves take to the sea, grizzlies clash in titanic battles, and wild salmon are the pulsing lifeblood of an entire ecosystem.

Chris Darimont weaves through the fjords of the Great Bear Rainforest, searching for wolves. Those wolves are just some of the predators that call the Great Bear Rainforest home. In this magical, yet forbidding place, wildlife coexists and behaves as nowhere else on earth. Here, mountain walls rise vertically from the sea. Giant moss-laden trees live more than 1,500 years and tower 300 feet.

National Geographic-Painted Dogs Of The Oakavango

They hunt as a pack, taking down their prey with deadly precision. They live as a family, sharing the work and play of parenting. They defend as a team, warning of danger that can lurk nearby. They are the wild dogs of Botswana and their unity is their true strength.

National Geographic-Eternal Enemies Lions and Hyenas

Although we romanticize lions as mighty kings of the jungle, their reign is in fact a tenuous one. It is challenged daily in southern Africa by vicious packs of hyenas that compete for prey. Between the two species exists an ancient feud, and it unfolds in Eternal Enemies with all the drama of the warring Capulets and Montagues. Watch as lions bring down a zebra, only to be attacked themselves by a pack of hyenas that chases them into the trees. Glowering, the big cats watch as the thieves devour their dinner. Days later the lions exact revenge, killing the hyena leader but leaving her uneaten as a warning to the rest of the clan. Other scenes in this video are equally impressive, including life inside a hyena den--which captures the sounds of lions growling outside--and a tense encounter between a snake-bitten lioness and a pack of hyenas. With its gripping story line, Eternal Enemies is a standout among animal documentaries.

National Geographic-Coming of Age with Elephants

Joyce Poole fell in love with wild Africa when she was only seven years old. As a scientist working in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, she made discoveries that changed the way we look at elephants. Joyce confirmed that African male elephants go into a state of musth, a period of heightened sexuality and aggressiveness, and she was on the forefront of the discovery that elephants communicate with each other.

National Geographic-The Rhino War

The strikingly beautiful scenery of Africa is in stark contrast to the subject matter of this National Geographic video. The black rhino is nearly extinct and the conservation effort has turned into a war. Men devote, and sometimes sacrifice, their lives to the study and preservation of this species. The Rhino War honestly and brutally examines the plight of the vulnerable rhinoceros as it is hunted for its horn, which, in powdered form, can be worth up to $7,000 on the black market. Though the sights of Zimbabwe and the music of Ladysmith Black Mambazo provide an occasional peaceful respite, this video can be quite vivid and grotesque in its presentation of the rhino's fate. The poachers are painted as relentless murderers, willing to risk their lives for a few hundred dollars. The tale provides a brief ray of hope in the establishment of fenced sanctuaries and the care exhibited by the rangers for these lumbering beasts. --Zachary Lively


In Africa, the war to save the black rhino is reaching a bitter climax. Armed poachers have swept through East Africa slaughtering the rhino for its valuable horn - bringing the animal perilously close to extinction. In an unprecedented conservation measure, Zimbabwe game rangers now guard Africa's black rhino population with the government's permission to shoot poachers on sight. Both man and beast are dying in this tragic conflict; the enemies are greed, corruption and ignorance in THE RHINO WAR

National Geographic-The Grizzlies

The magnificent grizzly bear, a beast most often portrayed as a deadly and dangerous monster, is profiled in detail in this documentary produced by National Geographic. As the narration of this video notes, the grizzly is the undisputed "monarch of the forest," and its only rival is man. The tension between humans and the great bears is well documented in this video, which shows how the bears were killed off in most of the western United States, but are thankfully now protected in Yellowstone National Park. In Alaska, the bears are less threatened by humans and are studied in their natural habitat. As one would expect from National Geographic, the photography in this documentary is magnificent, and the footage of the grizzlies in the wild is awesome. Scientists who have studied the bears, and a man who has trained a grizzly that has appeared in movies, provide considerable information about the intelligence and habits of grizzlies. Footage of scientists who venture into the Alaskan wilderness to a cave used by grizzlies to hibernate through the long winter, is fascinating. This is an excellent documentary, being both educational and entertaining. --Robert J. McNamara

Monster of imagination and monarch of the wild, the great grizzly bear has long played a part in myth and legend. Despite man's combined fear of and fascination with the grizzly, the bear survives today only by consent of his one real contender - man. Travel from Alaska's Brooks Range to Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park for a fascinating portrait of this powerful, intelligent, and extremely aggressive creature in THE GRIZZLIES.

Africa's Super 7 720p[HiDef x264 AC3]

"The good, the bad and the ugly, the teacher, the lover, the fighter and the strong, silent type! Stars of a tense 24-hour drama with birth, death and everything in between."


On the northern bank of the Sand River in the Mala-Mala Game Reserve in South Africa, seven magnificent creatures reside in an area the size of Manhattan Island. Tracking them for 24 hours we reveal the invisible threads that bind them together in a never-ending daily drama. This action-packed film will show how seven individual stories become one, how the animals move in and out of one another’s lives in the course of a single day. Sometimes their encounters happen just by chance, at other times they are intent on stalking each other down. In all cases whenever they meet the encounter is always riveting.

Each animal has different strengths, even some weaknesses, but seeing them in action is always impressive. Tracking them through one day and one night we witness their dealings with the neighbours from hell, staking their territory, stalking the same prey, risking their lives and cautiously interacting with or avoiding each other. This is a privileged and rare glimpse into the complex lives of Africa’s Super Seven.

Each species has its own vital role to play in this unfolding 24-hour drama. There is no room for the weak and in the African bush there’s only one rule: the biggest, strongest, fastest and smartest survive.

As amazing as these animals are, they all have their Achilles heel too, and occasionally our story includes a fight for survival for them just like any other creature of the untamed African wild. For Africa’s Super Seven there are no free lunches. Some will pay the ultimate price and some will even be lunch. Not for the faint hearted, this is a story of power, trust, hunger, desperation and elation – an unforgettable adventure.

National Geographic-Patterns In The Grass

Zebras leave their trails across 300 km of grassland in Botswana on a yearly migration that begins with the first rains.

At first the hazards of huge herds migrating together is daunting enough but at each stage of the migration more and more of their vulnerable lifestyles is revealed.

From when they leave Linyanti in the north the zebras of Northern Botswana must run a gauntlet of death.

However, along the way we come to know the zebras as they know each other; as individuals, not as one moving mass of striped horses. Each zebra fits into a hierarchy, each with a pattern as different as our own fingerprints and every one part of a small family group.

Patterns in the grass are left by these delicate painted horses, but each year these patterns become fewer and fewer. Less important than Pandas and rainforests? Perhaps, but who will take care that in time we are not left with only the patterns in the grass?

National Geographic-Ultimate Enemies Elephants and lions

The harsh and unforgiving fight for survival on the savannahs of Africa is captured in spellbinding fashion. Featuring the spectacular, up-close photography by celebrated wildlife filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert, Ultimate Enemies documents rarely captured behaviour between Africa’s largest and fiercest adversaries, the elephant and the lion, when the rivals are driven together by their desperate need for water.

With the dry season upon them and water becoming a rapidly vanishing commodity on the parched savannahs of Botswana, these unlikely and uneasy neighbours are forced to share close quarters around a shrinking waterhole. Enduring close proximity that neither animal would normally tolerate, a territorial struggle erupts into a shocking and unexpected clash, with deadly results. In an extraordinarily bold move the lions begin to deliberately hunt and attack their mammoth foes.

Botswana’s Chobe National Park is the setting for this mesmerizing film, and the intense, raw beauty of the African savannahs, replete with wildlife of all kinds, is in abundant evidence. Through the use of day and night cinematography, the film crew captures moments of spectacular rivalry and tragic loss, such as when the lions attack herds of elephant calves in the cover of darkness.

Later in the struggle, captive to their thirst, the elephants risk everything to return to the water hole, only to be met by the skeletons of their dead. What follows is a solemn scene of an elephant holding the bone of the departed with his trunk. With moments like these, the filmmakers have brought us emotionally closer to these animals than ever before.

Will the lions continue their onslaught? Will the elephants return to the water hole and become victims of their ferocious enemies? With the cycle of life or death, nothing remains constant.

National Geographic-Crocodiles: Here Be Dragons

Despite their deserved reputation as fearsome hunters, African crocodiles are surprisingly vulnerable prey. This 50-minute entry into the National Geographic canon chronicles the lives of these 16-foot long, 1-ton beasts that Africans call "the animal that kills while smiling." When not taking down unsuspecting wildebeests come to quench their thirst on the banks of the Grumeti River in Tanzania, the female crocodiles spend a good part of their year nurturing first their eggs and then their young. A mama crocodile may see 80 youngsters into the world each year, but an astonishing 90 percent will fall victim to the very animals their mother would have for dinner: monitor lizards, mongooses, perch. Actor Richard Kiley narrates a year in the life of these progeny of the dinosaurs. Both the cinematography and its subject matter are compelling, whether the "dragons" are using their famously powerful jaws to crush wildlife or tenderly carry their young. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Measuring 16 feet long and weighing over a ton, many call the crocodile the last surviving giant of the dinosaur age. While crocodiles are one of the world's strongest and most feared predators, they are also extremely tender and protective parents. Travel to Africa's Grumeti River in Tanzania - where one of the largest croc populations thrives. Watch in suspense as a herd of thirsty wildebeest approach the crocodile-infested river to drink, unaware of the cold-blooded reptiles lurking at the water's edge. In slow-motion photography, you will witness thrilling scenes as the powerful beast dominates the waterway with its huge tail and crushing jaws. Come as close as you dare to CROCODILES: HERE BE DRAGONS.

National Geographic-Last Feast of the Crocodiles

Filmed during a brutal drought in central Africa, this brilliantly photographed video from National Geographic follows the punishing predicament of animals living along the dwindling Luvuvhu River. As the water level sinks during the dry season, animals, including baboons and impalas, are forced to seek water in pools filled with hippos and deadly crocodiles. At one point the crocodiles, who are the focus of the filming, are described as "artists of violence," and the term seems entirely apt when they are seen striking out with lightning speed from places of total concealment in the water and mud. As the camera lingers on the watering hole, the behavior of increasingly desperate and thirsty animals is shown in all its brutal detail, and portions of this video will have the squeamish averting their eyes. Even though the violent outbursts are handled as tastefully as possible (it is, after all, a National Geographic production), some scenes, such as a violent confrontation between crocodiles and baboons, are heartrending. And while some of the video is inevitably difficult to watch, the photography is always spectacular; some of the shots, such as scenes of a baby hippo blithely wallowing among the crocodiles under the mother hippo's watchful eye, are astounding. This video is both brutal and beautiful, and puts the viewer as close as possible (and desirable) to some of Africa's most amazing wildlife. --Robert J. McNamara


In the daily struggle for survival, terrible thirst drives wildlife to water...even when the water is just inches away from the jaws of a crocodile. During one harsh season, a punishing drought draws some of Africa's most magnificent creatures to the shrinking pools of the Luvuvhu River. Its dwindling waters provide relief for baboons, impala, elephants, lions, water birds and bee-eaters - but also a refuge for scores of hungry crocodiles. Amidst the stunning scenes of nature at its harshest, strange things happen. A baby crocodile basks on top of a hippopotamus. Baboons attack a crocodile that has taken a youngster from the troop. Crocodiles harass a heron and steal its hard-won catch. And hippos calmly wade into the middle of a crocodile feeding frenzy. But the power of nature and her relentless drought may prove greater than even that of the most fearsome beasts. This cruel season may turn out to be the LAST FEAST OF THE CROCODILES.

National Geographic-Land Of The Anaconda

Just because they're not venomous doesn't mean they're not dangerous. Travel with National Geographic to the land of the anaconda, the world's largest snake. Join barefoot scientist Jesús Rivas in the murky marshes of Venezuela on his quest to understand these huge, fearsome reptiles. Up to 30 feet long, weighing many times more than the scientists studying them, anacondas are difficult subjects at best, but the National Geographic team captures brilliant footage of them swimming, resting, mating, and hunting prey. Watch the struggle between a large female and a capybara (the world's largest rodent) and see that the winner doesn't always come away from the battle unscathed. You'll also see some of the other many hazards of the swamp, such as the anaconda's venomous cousins and the smaller-but-still-dangerous cousin of the alligator--the caiman. The work's not for everyone, but you can get at least a taste of the land of the anaconda in your living room. --Rob Lightner
