DescriptionTriumph and mishap, comedy and tragedy - everything a good story needs, but this one is different, it stars a group of wild meerkats in South Africa. This ground-breaking thirteen part series records the daily lives of a group of meerkats known as "The Whiskers". Using state of the art camera technology above and below ground, and by tracking the group's movements 24 hours a day, the series paints a dramatic picture of a year in their highly complex and social lives. From viscous fights with rival gangs to infighting within the group, snake attacks, births of two dozen pups, and tragic deaths, "Meerkat Manor" includes animal behavior never recorded before. With characters that would be more at home in a real life soap opera, their entangled lives make for addictive viewing. MEERKAT MANOR is All My Children meets Wild Kingdom. The show is narrated by Sean Astin of "Lord of the Rings" and"24."

Product DescriptionStudio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 01/17/2006 Amazon.comMany people think of the dinosaurs as the first inhabitants of the earth, but this prequel to Walking With Dinosaurs puts viewers in the midst of a host of strange creatures that inhabited the earth millions of years before the dinosaurs ever existed. With the help of complex computer animation and the research of hundreds of paleontologists, the BBC presents an extremely realistic picture of the earth's earliest, most primitive aquatic inhabitants and chronicles their evolution to the precursors of man himself and the mighty dinosaurs. The first Walking With Monsters episode begins in the Cambrian period 530 million years ago, showcasing how a simple jellyfish-like sea creature evolved over 200 million years into new creatures with eyes and protective external and internal skeletal systems. These adaptations resulted in the world's first fish, arthropods, amphibians, and land-loving reptiles. The second episode details the giant insects of the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago and demonstrates how evolution empowered amphibians and reptiles by creating mechanisms to regulate their own body temperature and developing specialized teeth. The final episode begins in the late Permian period 250 million years ago when the earth was essentially one large desert full of volcanic activity. While much of earth's life was extinguished during this period, adaptation and evolution continued, bringing the development of a specialized hip in a tiny reptile called the Euparkeria that would prove to be the forerunner of mammals and evolve into the dinosaurs in the Triassic period. While some criticize this project as a somewhat overly dramatic presentation of speculative paleontology as fact, this program utilizes scientific inference to bring pre-history to life and highlight the amazing adaptations and evolution of the earth's earliest inhabitants. The bonus "Trilogy of Life" feature details the research, vision and hard work inherent in the creation of the Walking With Monsters, Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Prehistoric Beasts.

DescriptionFrom Galway to Dublin, savor spectacular scenery from the perspective of the faeries Whether you’ve kissed the Blarney Stone or not, this stunning tour will help you reconnect with your heritage or simply revel in Ireland’s awe-inspiring beauty. A high-definition, helicopter-mounted camera provides views of the Emerald Isle from the soaring perspective of the faeries. Immerse yourself in legend and lore as you admire the natural wonders of Giant’s Causeway, the stark megalithic landscape of the Burren, and the windswept Cliffs of Moher. Feast your eyes on the "40 shades of green" in the rolling hills and the cerulean waters of the Antrim coast and Galway Bay. Explore the serene monastic remnants of Clonmacnoise and Glendalough as well as the vibrant, bustling cities of Dublin and Belfast. The engaging narration and evocative soundtrack of traditional jigs and reels and modern Celtic rock enhances the journey as this land of mythic history and modern revival unfolds before you. Includes bonus footage not seen on public television. Amazon.com Visions of Ireland wastes no time with interviews or anything but glancing anecdotes about history; this is the pure eroticization of landscape, be it rural or urban. A camera suspended from a helicopter provides a serene, gliding bird's-eye view of rolling green hills, majestic brusk cliffs, proud stone towers, stirring cathedrals, and picturesque ruins. As this lush scenery rolls past, a woman's musical Irish lilt tells tales of St. Patrick, legendary giants, kings, monks, and of course the Blarney Stone, all backed with Irish jigs and Celtic strings. It's shameless self-promotion, and anyone who watches will feel an overwhelming urge to run to the computer and buy tickets for the next flight to the Emerald Isle. From the forbidding, isolated Skellig Islands to the bustling cities of Belfast and Dublin, Ireland looks entrancing. The main program is roughly an hour, but there's around 18 minutes of additional footage that is every bit as luscious and verdant, including some idyllic shots of sheep jumping over a low stone wall. --Bret Fetzer

DescriptionSee over 90 minutes of some of the most startling wildlife photography ever to have been shown on television! The Blue Planet: Seas of Life features amazing new discoveries and photographic breakthroughs in two episodes: "Open Ocean" and "The Deep." "Open Ocean": Endless blue stretches in every direction, this is the open ocean. In this marine desert there is nothing but the burning sun above and the blackened abyss below, yet here live many of the most spectacular predators in the ocean. Striped marlin, dolphin and the shearwater birds chase down large shoals of sardine and makerel. Survival in the open ocean depends upon, speed, cunning and agility. "The Deep": A place of mountain ranges, perpetual night, pressure extremes and cold and the weirdest life forms on our planet. Dive to the depths of the ocean, an eerie world where predators with teeth so large they can't even close their mouths, chase bioluminescent creatures of the deep. Discover the spectacular smoking chimneys of the hydro thermal vents. Go deeper down than you have ever been. 98 minutes Amazon.comThe BBC's acclaimed nature series The Blue Planet will astonish you from start to finish, and these two episodes are even better than those included in Part 1 ("Ocean World" and "Frozen Seas"). "Open Ocean" travels thousands of miles into the vast "liquid desert," where currents determine how the ocean's diverse life forms will assume their places in the food chain. From manta rays to spinner dolphins, hammerhead sharks, and a plethora of smaller creatures fending for their lives, the patient cameramen capture a movable feast with intense proximity, while narrator David Attenborough brings these forces of nature into eloquent perspective. Even more amazing, "The Deep" descends with a state-of-the-art submersible to the ocean's abyssal plain and beyond, filming such bizarre creatures as the fangtooth, bioluminescent jellies, transparent squid, the giant-mouthed gulper eel, and the never-before-seen hairy angler fish. The Blue Planet provides the privilege of visiting a truly alien world teeming with the rarest wonders of nature. --Jeff Shannon

DescriptionSee over 120 minutes of some of the most startling wildlife photography ever to have been shown on television! The Blue Planet: Seas of Life features amazing new discoveries and photographic breakthroughs in two episodes: "Ocean World" and "Frozen Seas." 135 minutes. Amazon.comExtraordinary footage and eloquent narration by David Attenborough highlight these two segments of the BBC's remarkable wildlife series, The Blue Planet: Seas of Life. "Ocean World" begins with astonishing views of a gigantic blue whale--the elusive Holy Grail of undersea photography--and the marvels continue to demonstrate the power, diversity, and profound ecological influence of Earth's oceans. From the surface feedings of dolphins to the pitch- black environs of deep-sea predators rarely glimpsed by humans, the oceans are seen as living entities teeming with nutrients and rejuvenating currents essential to all life on earth. This marvelous portrait of the food chain--from plankton to sharks to killer whales--continues in "Frozen Seas," examining whales, walruses, penguins, and other creatures under the extreme conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Blue Planet: Seas of Life is one of the finest wildlife programs you're ever likely to see. --Jeff Shannon

DescriptionFor nearly 200 million years while dinosaurs roamed the Earth, the seas teemed with some of the most awe-inspiring ocean creatures of all time. Sea Monsters, a National Geographic Giant Screen film, is an entertaining journey into prehistoric oceans. Inter-cutting between the animated story and the reenactments of fossil discoveries combine the appeal of "Indiana Jones" with the CGI that brings these prehistoric monsters to life. Perfect for the whole family. Amazon.comFor the child who knows the difference between a diplodocus and an apatosaurus (or for the adult who remembers a youthful obsession with dinosaurs), National Geographic's Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure will be a delight. This 40-minute special explores the less-familiar world of the prehistoric oceans, filled with predatory Platecarpi, gentle Protostegas, and cold-eyed Xiphactini. The story follows a newborn Dolichorhynchops (a short-necked plesiosaur that looks a little like a dolphin crossed with the Loch Ness Monster) as she matures into adolescence and adulthood, surviving encounters with sharks and the fearsome Tylosaurus, who's sort of the T-Rex of the deep. Juxtaposed with these vivid CGI recreations are staged depictions of paleontological digs throughout the 20th century that unveiled the bones of these ancient deep-sea beasties. It's irrefutable: Dinosaurs are compulsively fun to learn about, and the prehistoric creatures of the ocean are no exception. --Bret Fetzer
