Product Description

Lions are for many people the most fascinating of all the big cats; On the one hand, they are the only sociable members of the family, on the other, they are ruthlessly effective predators. Lions have symbolized bravery, strength, and majesty from Roman times, and even today many cities, sports teams, and other modern icons are named after them. The Lions Deluxe box set includes four of the best wildlife films ever shot on the subject of the king of beasts.

Lions and Hyenas: A Balance of Power
On the grasslands of the Serengeti, home to the largest concentration of game in all of Africa, a delicate balance has developed between two species often presented as competitors. Join Martin Dohrn as he uses thermal cameras and image intensifiers to film day and night, charting the lives of the mystical scavenger and the king of beasts. Watch as the hyena and lion vie for power, sharing the same inhospitable habitat and pursuing the same prey, each existing at the top of the food chain and maintaining a relationship that is far more complex and surprising than myths reveal.

Lions of Etosha
Nearly 500 lions roam the vast land of Etosha National Park in Namibia, each pride guarding territory, raising young, and feasting on prey. This film follows the Ombika pride, a family of nineteen, and offers a rare glimpse into the pride system, from family interactions and shared responsibilities to raising cubs and teaching them to hunt. Watch the pride s successes and failures, battles and births, and encounters with elephants and the rarely seen black rhino.

Lions of Gir
India s Gir National Park and Sanctuary, one of the largest stretches of unbroken forest, is the last home of the Asiatic lion. Once found from the Mediterranean to Central India, the Asiatic lion was nearly hunted to extinction. Despite conservation efforts, their territory is decreasing and battles with humans are steadily rising. This eye-opening documentary examines the struggles these lions face in surviving. Captured on video for the first time, the Asiatic lion hunts, cowers from humans, and searches longingly for a place to roam.

adamsons lions review
this set of 4 dvd has 1 disk that is of particular interest, would of bought it alone, had we had the chance, but to get the disk of george adamson is very rare, so just being able to get it at all, is a bonus and makes this set very worth while. the presention and packaging is very good, a quality product, the actual filming and qualitly of documentry is of a standard you would expect from 20 year ago out bush.
I 'treasure' the disk of Lord of the lions, George Adamson, and find it most worth while and enjoyable, but anyone wanting detail on George would feel the same. The other disk i find interesting is lions and hyenas, but so far have not had the time to view it.

Video Quality
