Superb photography, bone-chilling hunting scenes.......2007-01-10

This two-part documentary is superbly shot, nicely put together and has many hunting scenes that are expertly shot. One long scene in particular - about lionesses jumping on and killing a buffalo - is bone-chilling. There are some other scenes of smaller cats jumping in the air to catch a bird that is already airborne that you would never believe until you saw them.

The photographers are a couple that has spent over 14 years shooting in Africa. They have introduced techniques of shooting wildlife film that are unusual and enable them to get so close to the predators that you can almost smell them! The DVD is nicely put together, in good sequence and is very compelling viewing. The photography is top quality and the narration and editing very good. Highly recommended.

Great wildlife documentaries.......2006-04-11

This DVD containing two NATURE programs is a great bargain. "Chasing Big Cats" shows hunting techniques of Africa's large cats: Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and the elusive Serval and Caracal. It has some of the most extraordinary hunting footage I have ever seen. "Jaguar, Year of the Cat" covers a year in the life of Jaguar in central-American country of Belize. Supporting cast of this documentary is the exotic fauna and flora of tropical forest with crisp and vivid scenes throughout.
Both programs live up to high standards of wildlife filmmaking that we have come to expect from the NATURE series. The DVD has my highest recommendation.

What was I thinking?.......2005-12-14

I bought this DVD not knowing the quality or content. I was hoping for a National Geographic quality film all about cats. You know, a really cool documentary for the family, engaging and entertaining. Alas, I was almost immediately put to sleep by the video which was mostly this narrator talking about cats. The picture quality wasn't that great either.
There were some cats in the video but, really, I could buy a book and be more entertained and informed. Please reconsider when deciding to purchase this video.

Cats are best.......2005-10-09

If you want to understand your cat, forget it. They'll only be understood if they want to be. I like dogs, but cats have it over them in the smarts department. I mean, let's take a look at how each responds to a suburban city street. A dog will wander out into the middle of the road without a thought in the world, careless to the danger of oncoming vehicles around him. The dog unfortunately will likely be struck and killed by someone not paying attention. The cat on the other hand, darts across the street, observant to its surroundings, conscious of its mortality. I also happen to agree with De Niro's character in Meet The Parents, when he talks about how cats make you earn their respect. That's mostly true. A dog is more fun to play with, taking it for walks, throwing the frisbee. But the cat's selectivity and aloofness make the attention it does give out more interesting and valued.

Massage Guide for Dogs & Cats.......2005-08-20

I have tried the methods shown on this video and, as the video says, found the exercises comforting to both my dog and myself. Bradley had been favoring one leg in a minor way. The massage therapy "Cured" him after a few sessions. I intend to continue with the various methods as it seems to keep this field dog, who spends too much time on the couch, in better shape.

Age isn't everything.......2003-09-09

Yes, it's a bit old (1986, not the 50's or the 60's). But let's face it, how much have cats changed since 1986? This is an excellent basic documentary about domestic cats, with segments on the history of the cat-human relationship, many wild and pet cat behaviors, and how these behaviors have been modified in their lives with us. In addition it has a charming profile of a professional cat trainer (!) putting his 4-week-old novices through their paces, and then performing with the adult cats for a room full of enthralled children. This material is something you don't see very often, and puts this film in a class of its own.
I am very pleased to have this DVD. It doesn't have high definition, wide screen, or Dolby soundtrack -- but it is a clean and clear reproduction of a fine program.

Cats - NATURE Series.......2000-04-21

I was very disappointed with this DVD. This is an extremely OLD program that was probably filmed in the 50's or 60's and recently put on DVD. Its a basic backgrounder on domestic cats vs. wild cats and the development of the domestic cat. Not recommended.

Product Description

Safari - The World Of Cats & Seven Alone - 2 Seperate Kids & Family DVDs In Set DVD 1. Safari - The World Of Cats: Three 30-minute episodes of Safari, a shot-on-video nature television program hosted by John Ross from 1998-1999. 1. African Cats, in particular the lion and leopard. 2. Mountain Lion, and is about the large North American cat. 3. Sumatran Tiger. In nature shows of the predator cats who are high on the food chain, most of their time is devoted to stalking, pouncing, killing and eating. Ross provides the voice-over narration and appears in a couple of cut shots per episode, prowling about the tall grass, binoculars in hand. Great photography and half the Sumatra show deals with Gibbons and other leaf eaters because of the elusive and solitary nature of the Sumatran Tiger. The only drama in this DVD occurs when three gray wolves steal a deer kill from a Cougar. Otherwise it's pretty much stalk and eat. All natural and educational. DVD 2. Seven Alone - Based on a true story, it is an inspiring saga of heroism and a family's perseverance in the rugged Old West. On a harrowing 2,000 mile trek across America from Missouri to the Oregon coast, the death of their parents leaves these gallant youngsters alone and facing nearly certain death. Showing unbelievable courage, they decide to press on to fulfill their dead parents wishes. Seven Alone is the kind of family drama that is a must-see for both young and old. Starring Aldo Ray, Anne Collins and Dean Smith. 80 minutes, Audio: English Dolby Digital Stereo.
