Predators DVD

Predators

Providing an intimate look at humans who have experienced and survived horrific animal encounters, After The Attack explains the post traumatic but triumphant lives of people who have encountered some of the most complex creatures including the great white shark, grizzly bear, mountain lion and the American alligator. From elephant charges to snake bites, Up Close And Dangerous details the bravery of professional wildlife filmmakers and their commitment to getting the perfect shot, regardless of the price. Journeying to the breath-taking shores of Central America, Killer Crocs of Costa Rica details the life of an American crocodile raising her young in the spectacular coastal rainforest. A fascinating look into the wild kingdom!

  • After The Attack – Explore the post-traumatic but triumphant lives of people who have survived deadly confrontations with wild animals and wish to share their stories. Discover how the victims are encouraged to use their experience to re-examine their lives and face down their fears – all from a pro-animal, pro-conservative perspective.
  • Up Close and Dangerous – Frequently, cameramen and women, sound operators, directors, producers and television hosts risk their lives getting up close and personal to capture stunning images of nature in the wild. Sometimes nature strikes back. In exclusive interviews, top wildlife filmmakers tell their stories and share terrifying footage of shoots gone wrong – from elephant charges and snake bites, to shark attacks and close encounters with lions and tigers. They describe the incidents, how they used their skill and experience to survive, and how ultimately they gained even more respect for the creatures they work so closely with.
  • Killer Crocs of Costa Rica – Follow a female crocodile and her young through the most dramatic events in their lives – mating, birth and growing up. As the crocs seek out food and cope with the vagaries of each season’s weather, so do a host of other animal, insect and plant species. Crocodiles and humans also meet, sharing the same environ and creating tension between people and animals. Poachers catch crocs at night, and crocs must fight to preserve their species’ longterm survival. Costa Rica’s breathtaking Pacific coast, rivers and coastal tropical forest serve as a spectacular backdrop for this one-hour documentary wildlife story.

This one is definitely for the older kids, my teenage son loved it but I was wary about my tween watching it and in the end she chose not to, which was fine by me. But my son really was glued to watching this DVD especially the Killer Crocs piece. He is very interested in animals and loves learning all aspects of them, not just the cute and fuzzy but the brutal reality that faces the animal kingdom. He gives this DVD two thumbs up and said it was very interesting.
