National Geographic Ultimate Predators - DVD

National Geographic joins veteran wildlife cameraman Andrew Manske and hard-nosed outdoorsman Brian Bildson as they venture into some of North America's most remote and inhospitable regions in an attempt to capture extraordinarily rare footage of wolves hunting bison. Leading their team to the vast grasslands of Canada's Northwest Territories, where raw survival is the only rule, the team suffers cracking ice roads, frigid temperatures, attacking mosquitoes, and isolation in hopes of recording the spectacular: a pack of wolves stalking and taking down a massive wood bison.

This National Geographic documentary explores the causes and effects of nature's more destructive forces; hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes. Through actual footage of storms and disasters, from both media and the National Geographic cameras, the viewer is shown how powerful and unpredictable nature can be. As with most National Geographic films, science and fact take precedence over sensationalism; thus, National Geographic: Nature's Fury also contains commentary and graphics that explain what causes an earthquake, a flood or other natural disasters, as well as what scientists are doing to help protect people from harm

More than 80 million years ago, the Oviraptor, a strange bird-like dinosaur, walked the sandy banks of an oasis in what is now the "Gobi in Mongolia." A creature that measured some 8 feet in length, its razor-shard claws were deadly weapons of protection for guarding its offspring from constant danger. Now join a daring expedition of scientists as they uncover a treasure trove of fossils, shattering long-held myths about this dinosaur's behavior.
