I bought this video for my one-year-old who just loves cats and dogs. She goes nuts when she sees them in our neighborhood or on TV. This video has plenty of dogs (and wolves) and cats (and tigers) for her to look at. The music video montages are fun. There are a few preditor/prey "situations" during the video, but there is nothing gory. I guess it will help explain "life" when she's older!

S65 said, "A major dissapointment! Geared towarded adolescent boys with an intention span of moths! Unsuitable for small children. Panels rush by so fast one can bearly register what's on the screen. Boring an violent! (Contains at least two scenes of wild dogs killing smaller animals). Not looking on nature's gentle, funny side. My four-year-old daughter and I hated it! Don't waste your money!" But I STRONGLY dissagree! I have this video at home and enjoy it! It's not boring! I love animals and enjoy this! It does contain scenes with dogs and cats killing other animals, but that's the circle of life! There is one scene, where a coyote kills a gopher, another where the same coyote kills a ground squirrel, a scene where a cheetah kills a gazelle, and a scene with a mountain lion killing a deer, but these scenes are brief. It DOES look on nature's funny side. A lot of jokes Spin makes!

My child (2y.o.) who loves dogs and cats, loves to watch this VTR tape. Even she only understands Japanese. We watches this over 40 times now, she tries sings the songs with VTR.

A major disappointment. Geared towards adolescent boys, with attention spans of moths. Unsuitable for younger children. Frames rush by so fast one can barely register what is on the sceen, boring, and violent (at least two scenes of wild dogs eating smaller animals.) No depictions of nature's gentle, funny side. My four year old daughter and I hated it. Don't waste your money.

I purchased National Geographic's Really Wild Animals: Hot Dogs and Cool Cats [VHS] for my daughter who adores this series of videos narrated by Dudley Moore. When she opened it, it was NOT the correct video, instead it is a video narrated by Jack Hanna on Zoo Life. VERY UPSET! Wish to obtain full refund and correct video, but since it is an amazon seller instead of amazon, apparently there is no way for this to happen. Do not buy from this seller!!!!!
