5.0 out of 5 stars Another Wonderful National Geographic, May 7, 2001

This review is from: National Geographic's Virunga - Heart of Africa [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a great program. I loved the footage of the Mountain Gorilla. I wish there was more of it but they needed to show other aspects of the area. This was one of many programs that should be listed under "National Geographic" so people can find them. There are many of these new programs available that are wonderful that can't be found unless you know the title of the program. This was a program anyone who loves programs on Africa should have. I plan on watching it many times. I had seen it on PBS and was delighted when I found it. There was footage of a volcanic area leaking carbon dioxide gas that overcame many animals. Any animal unlucky enough to go into the depression to eat the lush growth of foliage was quickly overcome. Scavengers would come in to eat the dead animals and would join their intended meal in death. A monitor lizard is almost overcome but manages to escape. Others were not so lucky. Another segment shows a frog trying to escape a snake. He jumps into an extremely hot stream but manages to hop out again. It realizes it is still in peril and tries to jump across the boiling water only to be cooked. I can only say that I hope to find other programs of this quality. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

This is a story of our wonderful and remarkable relative, the Virunga. The video explores the environmental and cultural causes behind the precarious existence of these magnificent and intelligent beings.
