4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Wildlife Collection, February 25, 2007

This review is from: National Geographic: The Wildlife Collection (DVD)

This DVD set has four National Geographic TV specials about jaguars, bears, lions, hyenas, and whales, along with some bonus material on the programs. You are treated to some of the great wildlife photography that you expect from National Geographic. However, I wish that more of the wildlife specials that were made over the years were included in the set. I would rather have much more of the artful film photography than the video included in the bonus footage. Still, it is a very entertaining and educational set, not too expensive and well worth your viewing time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needed more Wildlife - Rather Crusade-focused, April 5, 2009

This review is from: National Geographic: The Wildlife Collection (DVD)

In our opinion, the best video of the set was the Lions and Hyenas. It was the only one that focused on the animals and their habitat. The other videos in the set strayed often into "crusader-mode" by dealing mostly with people involved in their own research/quest with the animals and environment as the back-drop. Although their endeavors were interesting, some of the portrayals were rather dramatic and personal - "reality show."

We much rather prefer a more objective concentration on the interaction with the animals and their environment. The "Wildlife Collection" title is then rather misleading. Should have some component of "Wildlife Crusaders" to explain the contents better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wild!, December 10, 2009

Great for the classroom. I teach 7th grade life science, and this fits into the latter part of the year when we start talking about the Animal Kingdom. The students love it. Lots of interest and lots of questions.
