Product Description

Groundbreaking wildlife documentary, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, that uses an array of spycams in the air, in water, and disguised as rocks, dung and skulls to follow the annual African wildebeest migration. As they begin their 3000 km circular journey, the wildebeests soon become the target for all the main African predators, including hyenas, cheetahs, jackals and crocodiles. The film follows the fortunes of a young wildebeest and a young zebra as they embark on their journey, each trying to survive the treacherous times ahead.

By Julie Cutler TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
From the moment a Wildebeest calf is born on the plains of East Africa it has to marshal its wobbly legs and get ready to run within four minutes. Predators are all around waiting to take out the young calf or its mother- hyenas, lions, cheetahs, leopards and crocodiles are all ready to chase or fix their jaws into bits of you. Hippos just get irritated and attack. The only safe thing seems to be tortoises!

These two 60 minute documentaries follow the life of "a" mother and its growing calf through the long journey to seek lush grazing followed by predators at every turn and the long journey back, crossing rivers in flood in which lurk hungry crocodiles. Disguised cameras follow the herd from below water, on the ground (that would be dungcam and tortoisecam) and in the air (although dragonflycam looks like it's flown out of the Jurassic due to its size). During every hazard the calf can get separated from the protection of its mother- although supposedly 95% of lost calves do get reunited with their mothers despite the fact that there are HORDES of wildebeest to search through. There's a lot of very scary stampeding as the herd tries to climb sheer cliffs to make one of the many river crossings, trampling over the bodies of their species to get up the bank. It quite grips you with tension at moments- although folks as you are following very alike herd animals you do wish they would dispense with the fiction that it's just the one pair that get into endless trouble and keep escaping from the jaws of big cat death.

Also in the same series of ingenious spy cameras are the disks Tiger - Spy in the Jungle [2008] and Spy In The... Complete.

Fantastic 2 episode wildlife show, Ive never seen a better show on Wildebeest or the stuning migration.
"The Zebra's are 1st to come to the dangerous of the crossing, there the favorate food of crocodiles but there kick can be cripeling"
its the two part show which has you on the edge of your seat
as the calf must journey miles while lions hyenas and crocodiles attack at every oportunity, this is an apsolute outstanding show and also has plenty of comedy moments in it aswell, including the rush hour where babbons have to look both ways before they cross through the herd and the fire fly cam is in serious trouble and refuses to die.

the only complaint i have to make is the bbc have tons of wildlife episodes, zebras the trail blazzers would have made the perfect dvd extra but sadly looks like they decided to just leave us with no extras.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning, exciting masterpiece 22 Jun 2010
Format:DVD
This film follows a herd of wildebeest for a whole year on their very long trek across Africa. The photography, using a number of special cameras, is breathtaking, and the adventures that the "hero" - a young calf - goes through are very exciting. This film is a must for virtually everybody!
