The Million Pound Bird Book

A profile of the artist and ornithologist John James Audobon, famous for painting and cataloguing the birds of North America.

Born in Haiti in 1785, John James Audobon was raised in France and to avoid the Napoleonic Wars he escaped to The United States in 1803, where he began to study birds.
Unable to find a publisher for his Philadelphia book of Birds, he travelled to England where he found success and went on to publish subsequent books, the seven volumes of Birds of America featuring 435 hand-coloured lithographs of life-sized birds, and five volumes of Ornithological Biographies.
Sold by subscription these books fetched $1,000 each.

IMAX The Secret Of Life On Earth

THE SECRET OF LIFE ON EARTH begins where life apparently began three-and-a-half billion years ago. We witness some of the key developments in plants that made possible the web of life - since evolved and now endangered. Brilliant use of micro, macro and time-lapse photography delivers stunning close-ups of special relationships between plants and animals: barnacles feeding, microscopic plankton, tiny grasses flowering, and pollinators at work. The interdependence between plants and animals is portrayed as an unwritten "green" contract. Five continents are covered as the jungle ecosystem is studied from insect-eating plants to the camouflage of insects themselves. The attempts to restore the balance of these ecosystems is also examined.

Climb into the prickly jaws of insect-eating plants. Watch a flying fox gorge itself on a midnight snack of figs. Witness a mantis disguised as a flower petal lure its prey to doom. You'll see the alarming destruction humankind has caused to our ecosystems and find hope in recent efforts to restore the natural balance we have disturbed. Narrated by Patrick Stewart.

IMAX - Adventures in Wild California

A virtual expedition that sends audiences careening down an icy, steep mountain face with snowboarders; twirling on thermals above the clouds with skysurfers; swimming through the oceans with otters and their surrogate human mother; excavating the very heart of a thirty-story tall Giant Sequoia with botanists and emerging from under the spray of one of California's biggest, surfable waves. The heart-pounding imagery recreates an experience of California's furthest edges few will ever know first-hand.

BBC Claw Wars

David Attenborough narrates a documentary about the crab. After millions of years evolving at sea, crabs have found new ways to breathe, move, avoid enemies and prevent themselves from baking alive. For every challenge that land poses they have found a solution - from digging wells, adopting shells and even developing lungs. But the biggest shock is how far they've reached - the middle of the desert.

In Bombay during 2003 and 2004 more than 30 people were killed,
and many more attacked, by leopards living right in the middle of the city.
South of Los Angeles, in the sun-bleached hills of Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park,
a mountain lion killed a biker and savagely attacked another who was torn from
the cat's vice-like jaws by frantic cyclists in a tug-o-war...

Discovery Channel - Into The Lion's Den (2005.TVRip.SoS)

"Protected only by a stick with a miniature camera, zoologist and big cat trainer Dave Salmoni is on a mission to prove that humans can live in harmony with wild lions. He is pioneering a new research project that has never been attempted before — removing the barrier between man and beast by walking on a pride of lions to observe, learn the language and gain social acceptance. INTO THE LION'S DEN brings viewers to the edge of human-animal interaction.

Salmoni's unique combination of big cat trainer skills, formal zoological expertise and passion for animals puts him in a position to make a special contribution to the body of scientific knowledge about lions. He follows in the footsteps of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Lewis Leakey, pioneering scientists and researchers who put their lives at risk in pursuit of better understanding animals.

INTO THE LION'S DEN follows Salmoni through his rigorous training with captive big cats leading up to his time in Africa, working with jaguars, tigers and lions to hone his communication skills and immerse himself in cat behavior patterns. Salmoni recalls his history with big cats, including the time a lion turned on him, along with compelling footage of the incident. Finally, it is time to confront the lions at the Thornybush Private Game Reserve in South Africa, where every precaution is taken to ensure Salmoni's safety. His team of paramedics, Thornybush rangers and camera people detail safety guidelines and anticipate every possible emergency situation."

National Geographic - Walking With Lions

700mb 54min

Walking with Lions takes us to a remote corner of the Zambezi Valley in northern Zimbabwe. Here, a remote spring serves as the sole source of water for thousands of wild animals during the harsh eight-month dry season. They trek from afar to slake their thirst in a death trap: an African spring surrounded by a pride of lions. Witness the conflict faced between satisfying their need to drink while walking the gauntlet into a narrow gorge harboring hidden predators.

Great White Shark

Just the sight of a shark's fin breaking the surface spells terror, but is this Hollywood delivered image fair? Underwater filming of these awesome fish in their natural unabated environments exposes the Great White as a paradox: a shy and cautious creature existing within a highly structured social order, but also a terrific killing machine striking with total surprise and devastating speed from the murky depths.

Crocodile

Only one great reptile has survived the age of the dinosaur - the crocodile. Ancient they may be, but they are still the most successful of freshwater hunters. Only now, by exploring their complete world, above and below water, by day and night, can we fully appreciate just how sophisticated they are. In survival terms, the crocodile has every reason to smile.

Humpback Whale

Few sounds are more beautiful or moving than the underwater songs of the humpback whale. Male whales compete with their songs, which often last for 10 minutes at a time, and can be repeated for hours on end. Whales separated by thousands of miles of sea will sing almost identical songs. Researchers have found that the songs change throughout the breeding months, following a mysterious pattern repeated across the waves. Whales also use sound to hunt. To catch herring, humpback whales release a stream of bubbles to form a shimmering, circular fishing net. Emitting a repetitive loud scream, they scare the fish into a tight ball, then lunge out of the water to swallow the shoal whole. Now it seems that the long-held image of the gentle giant must change to one of a ferocious and opportunistic hunter.

Wolf

Wolves are so wary and elusive and their senses so acute that even world-renowned wolf biologist David Mech hardly ever sees them. Mech and others have had to piece together what is currently known about the lives of wolves by radio-tracking them from air over the lakes and forests of Northern Minnesota. Cameraman, Jeff Turner, spent a staggering seven months of each year, for three years, camping out in Northern Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park, home of the largest wolves in the world. In midwinter, he recorded a pack of 20 wolves harassing a herd of buffalo for seven whole days and nights before making their kill. Traveling north to Ellsemere Island, Jeff also filmed a pair of pure white Arctic wolves struggling to rear their pair of young. In India, as far south as wolves live, Ian McCarthy filmed the Indian wolves hunting the fleet-footed black buck. Near the town of Brasov, in Transylvania, an ultra-sensitive nightvision camera was used to record for the first time a family of wolves descending from their forest home to raid the town's garbage bins for let over food. As producer Mike Salisbury says: "Even the howl of the wolf, that once struck terror into our hearts, is now regarded by many as one of the most thrilling sounds of the natural world."

Grizzly

Few animals can match the intelligence, power or resourcefulness of the North American Bear or "grizzly". This film reveals the more intimate side to the grizzly - how mothers raise and teach their cubs, the playfulness and hardships of adolescence and the rituals of courtship. Most surprising of all is that every grizzly is its own character in looks, temperament and skills.

PBS Nova - 2007.06.19 - Bone Diggers (HDTV.SoS)

"NOVA takes viewers to the stark Australian outback in search of the elusive bones of one of the world's most bizarre prehistoric creatures—a giant predatory marsupial called Thylacoleo. Australia's leading paleontologists endure extreme weather, treacherous drops into a deep cavern, and the threat of fossil poachers as they launch a daring expedition to find the rare megabeast.

During the Ice Age a million or more years ago, Australia was home to a zoo of extraordinary giant animals, including eight-foot-tall kangaroos, wombats the size of hippos, snakes three feet in diameter, and a horned tortoise as big as a Volkswagen. But none was quite as bizarre or fearsome as Thylacoleo, the meat-eating marsupial lion. Pound for pound, this creature had the most powerful bite of any mammal, living or extinct—in fact, its bite was equal to that of a much bigger African lion today. But even though it was the king of ancient Australian predators, Thylacoleo was eventually toppled from its throne, dying out along with all the rest of the outsized beasts. What happened to drive so many extraordinary megabeasts into oblivion?

In "Bone Diggers," NOVA joins the Australian expedition to retrieve a rare intact skeleton of the meat-eating marsupial. The analysis of its bones throws new light on Thylacoleo's many peculiarities, notably the question of how it attacked its prey. And, finally, the show digs into the mystery of what finally overwhelmed the giant Ice Age creatures and whether early human hunters were responsible."

Micheal Palin - Sahara, BBC

Michael Palin continues his series of epic journeys, this time crossing the Sahara - an environment as alien and hostile as any on earth. But instead of emptiness, the Sahara reveals a vast range of peoples, cultures and landscapes with a rich and unique history.

The journey begins in Morocco, where Michael must traverse nature's gateway to the Sahara - the beautiful Atlas mountains. Slowly, the mountains give way to the arid Sahara and its thousands of miles of sand, stone, ferocious winds and vast dust storms that sting the face and blind the eyes.

From the disputed territory of Western Sahara, through Mauritania on a two kilometre long iron ore train, he makes for Senegal and its old French colonial towns. After paying a visit to Goree Island, from where millions of slaves were sold and sent on to Europe and America, it's on to Mali and a chance to meet the Dogon - a people with a view of the world so unique that it can be tricky to grasp, especially when eating lunch in midday temperatures of 134° F.

In preference to a three month wait for the ferry to Timbuktu, a local cargo boat becomes home for the journey up the Niger River. From Niger, Michael heads north over the Hoggar Mountains through the rich gas and oil fields of Algeria and on into Libya, where we have the rare chance to experience a culture long closed to outsiders. His final stop is Tunisia, a country familiar to Michael having been the location for Monthy Python's The Life of Brian.

The extras contain: exclusive interview with Michael Palin, deleted scenes, behind the scenes.

Episode One

Michael's journey begins in Gibraltar, and with a 21-gun salute in honour of the Queen's birthday ringing in his ears, Michael crosses the Straits to Tangier in Morocco.
It is only after pausing in Fez and Marrakech, and scaling the High Atlas, that Michael's "Line in the Sand" enters real desert.
This is hard, hot country, controlled by the Polisario Front who have been in confrontation with the Moroccans for over 25 years.
But this inhospitable land is softened by the warmth shown by the Sahawari people, who guide Michael south to the Mauritanian border.
Here he climbs aboard the "longest train in the world", breaking his journey at Chinguetti.
There is just time for Michael to defeat the local champion at a game of desert draughts, played with stalks and camel droppings, before he gets literally taken over by the 24th Paris-Dakar Rally and its sole surviving British entrant, Dave Hammond from Cirencester.

Episode Two:

Leaving the desert behind Michael briefly savours the delights of cosmopolitan Senegal: jazz clubs, wrestling competitions, dance troupes and the Queen of the Senegalese soaps, Marie-Madeleine.
Joining the so-called Bamako Express, he endures two days and nights on the train, but in the process gets to know a school mistress who is nothing if not forthright about the disadvantages of polygamy.
In Bamako he finds renowned kora player, Toumani Diabate, and delights in a master class before heading off to Dogon country.
The Dogon people have one of the most distinctive and celebrated cultures of West Africa and they nearly kill him with a combination of excessively complex origin myths, an exploding flintlock and boiling hot millet.
Celebrating the Muslim Tabaski feast in the beautiful city of Djenne with a man called Pygmy, and securing a passage on a cargo boat with a Norwegian missionary called Kristin, the rest of the journey down the Niger River to Timbuktu seems plain sailing till the boat runs aground a day out of its destination.

Episode Three:

Michael reaches the city of Timbuktu along with a camel train carrying the giant salt blocks that made the city one of the greatest centres of Islamic learning up until the 16th century.
Michael wanders through the rubble that is 21st century Timbuktu to find the Imam who shows him original astronomical textbooks that predate Galileo's discoveries by 200 years.
Leaving one of Timbuktu's most famous addresses, the house of Alexander Laing, the Scottish explorer who had his throat slit for not converting to Islam, Michael heads East to the land of the Wodaabe.
These nomadic herders are some of the last true pastoralists of the African continent - famous as much for their male beauty pageant as their stylish cattle.
Living in the bush with them Michael watches the complex rituals surrounding this extraordinary annual pageant, the Gerewol, where the girls get to choose the prettiest boy.
It is the season after the rains, a time of relative plenty for the nomads, and Michael's Wodaabe family, led by the English speaking Doulla, travel to Ingall for the Cure Salee - a
gathering of clans that takes place every year.
Amidst the chaos of camel races, shopping and general mayhem, Michael meets up with a group of Touareg for the next leg of his journey: a camel train across the Tenere desert to Algeria.
Omar, the cameleer's cameleer, introduces him to the delights and vicissitudes of life on the move in the most desolate landscape on the planet.
Walking 12 hours a day, eating the odd sheep, and learning the rudiments of Tamashek, the language of the Tuareg, Michael finally gets to grips with the heart and soul of the desert.
The going is tough, like the sheep, but the sense of comradeship with the cameleers and the camels, who are their lifeline, is palpable.
When the time comes to leave Omar and his retinue the tears are not all crocodile ones.

Episode Four:

Michael arrives at the border of Niger and Algeria, the most desolate crossing in the world, where banditry is a way of life in the absence of law and order.
This was where Mark Thatcher famously got lost; but the country has a harsh beauty.
Turning north Michael passes through the dramatic mountains of the Hoggar massif before he pauses in the oil and gas fields of central Algeria.
At this point he makes a brief diversion into Colonel Gadaffi's Libya to attend the very last reunion of the Desert Rats of Tobruk, before turning west along the North Coast past stunning and deserted classical sites at Apollonia, Cyrene and Leptis Magna.
Crossing into Tunis Michael re-lives the filming of The Life of Brian in Monastir, before taking the Maghreb Express to the dangerous city of Algiers.
Just along the coast is Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on Morocco's coast, a little chunk of Fortress Europe in Africa, and so a magnet for Africans.
Michael talks to would-be immigrants before returning to his original starting point, Gibraltar.
En-route he learns of the terrible fate that has engulfed so many Saharan men, women and children who attempt the eight mile crossing in search of a better life.

PBS Jean-Michel Cousteau, Ocean Adventures - Sharks at Risk (2006.TVRip.SoS)

"For thousands of years, sharks have haunted the human imagination. These perfect predators, 400 million years in the making, are unique hunters with awesome power. But their reputation as cruel, senseless killers of human nightmares is a far cry from reality. These powerful creatures play a vital role in the intricate balance that makes up the oceans' ecosystem. Today, a new predator, the human, puts these amazing creatures at risk, giving sharks far more reason to fear us than we have to fear them.

In 'Sharks at Risk', Jean-Michel Cousteau and his team meet sharks face-to-face in two intense expeditions. The first takes place in French Polynesia in the Tuamotu Archipelago at Rangiroa, the second-largest coral atoll in the world and an underwater paradise that is famous for its large concentration of sharks. The second is off the coast of South Africa, at the Cape of Good Hope, where Jean-Michel and others swim with the most feared of all sharks -- the great white."
