Description: Why is this for sale? Another from my late hubby DVD Collection. He bought EVERYTHING. This is another one of those purchases. When he came home with ANOTHER DVD set, I would say..."WHY did you buy that?"...He would smile, and say, "There was room in the cart!" Ya gotta love that attitude, but if I live to be 300, I wouldn't be able to watch all these! i HOPE you will adopt this, and give it a nice home!! DVD 1. Prog. 1. Cheetahs & Lions-In The Cheetah Orphans, experience the joy, heartbreak, triumph, and tragedy as wildlife filmmaker Simon King assumes the parenting responsibilities for two cheetah cubs after a lion kills their mother.

DVD 2. Africa's Incredible Hulks- Prog. 1. Unforgettable Elephants - Award-winning wildlife cameraman Martyn Colbeck has filmed African elephants for more than 15 years as he follows them across plains into jungles. In this retrospective, he shares spectacular footage along with his unique insights about their exceptional ability to communicate, their complex emotions and strong loyalty. Prog. 2. Rhinoceros - Come face-to-face with the world's five species of rhino, each struggling for their continued survival. For some rhinos, the future may rely on breeding programs, such as at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, home to the only Sumatran rhinos ever to be born in captivity. Hunted nearly to extinction by poachers for their horns, the rhino population has declined more than 80 percent over the last 40 years. DVD 3: The Dragon Chronicles - Ancient maps, legends, and fairy tales all tell of dragons. In nearly every culture, we are told as children that dragons fly and breathe fire. Are they based on real animals? and are there any dragons still to be found today?

Bonus Program: Supersize Crocs- Crocodile conservationist Romulus Whitaker's fear is that the most colossal of these creatures might no longer exist.

DVD 4: The Gorilla King-From the mountains in Rwanda comes an extraordinary story of destiny and triumph. At thirty-three years of age, Titus, a 400-pound silverback gorilla has ruled for nearly half his lifeover twenty-five gorillas. When Titus was four, poachers slaughtered his father. His mother and other sister fled, leaving him orphaned. Something in his character led to a remarkable life that researchers--beginning with world-renowned primatologist Dian Fossey and researcher Kelly Stewart, daughter of actor James Stewart--have chronicled since the day he was born. DVD 5: Superfish-For generations, anglers have been hooked by the biggest, fastest, most dangerous gamefish in the sea-the graceful sailfish, the menacing swordfish, and the biggest trophy of all, the marlin, immortalized by Ernest Hemingway in his classic, The Old Man in the Sea.
