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.

Customer Rating: Summary: The Perfect Introduction Comment: There is no world-famous footage here, no lightning-flash illumination of animal behavior that we haven't seen in other tapes, and yet... it's so beautifully filmed and so many popular species are covered as they go through birth, mating and death that this tape should be brought as an introduction before others that might have classic footage but are more narrow in scope. If you have only one African wildlife video, this should probably be it. Look for the lion who's just lost the girl to his buddy - and is so put out that he ignores another lioness who saunters up and swats him across the face, as if she's saying "hey, stupid!" As with many other wildlife tapes, you may want to review this one before letting the younger kids watch.
