Giant Pandas: The Last Refuge goes deep into the nearly impenetrable forests of the Qin Ling mountains in eastern China, visiting some of the last remaining wild giant pandas on Earth. Few Westerners have ever observed these irresistible mammals in their natural habitat as it has been closed to foreigners since 1949 and filming there is an almost insurmountable challenge. Viewers are taken on a fascinating journey into the incredible world of these endangered creatures to witness first-hand the giant panda`s behaviour in their natural environment.
Great Bear Rainforest reveals the magic of a truly untamed Eden. Great Bear is one of the last intact temperate rain forests in North America; with a landscape and cast of wildlife that seems larger than life. Grizzlies, wolves and killer whales rule the food chain; and the migrations of Pacific salmon feed both animals and trees. Here, science finds extraordinary behaviours: wolves, well adapted to swimming, move among the coastal islands in search of food. Even more surprising, their menu includes bears. Join the expedition to document the wonders of this amazing place. Explore a precious arc of earth, as mysterious as it is rare. National Geographic is witness to the annual migrations of salmon and the astounding pilgrimage of wildlife that greet them at the rivers edge in the Great Bear Rain Forest.
Search for the Ultimate Bear Over a thousand pounds, more than four feet tall at the shoulder, sporting four-inch claws and paws that can dwarf a lions the worlds biggest bears are the largest land-dwelling carnivores on earth. Any of the North Americas Big Three bears polar, brown or blackcan take down just about any animal they want, including human beings. Theyre smart enough to get just about any food they want anywhere they find it. Deconstruct this biological juggernaut and its formidable combination of massive brawn and unbelievable powers of smell. The worlds great bears live next to us as well as far away, but do we really know what they are capable of?
National Geographic gets as close as anyone dares to the worlds biggest bears for a full profile of bear power. Using CGI combined with cutting-edge imaging of bear brains, we examine the bio-engineering of the worlds biggest bears.
The DVD is released on June 21st, and is available on Amazon for £14.99 (RRP £19.99).
