Beautiful Series
farshidkarimi7 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This is yet another entertaining informative wildlife documentary. The cinematography is great, connection of the episodes are interesting and the narration is superb. I love the part when a lioness shuns her stunted cub, avoiding it. But, when the cub strayed to the edge of a river where a crocodile started creeping up to the cub, the lioness's motherly instinct kicked in, went to the stumbling cub, lifted it in its jaw and moved it away from danger. Then, she let the cub move beside her and let it suckle.

Recommended for all members of the family.

Perfect well connected movies in an astonishing series
deponation29 December 2018
What is unique about this series is that its episodes are connected together but you can still watch a single episode alone. I have watched most of wildlife series from big producers like bbc and nat geo and can tell with confidence that this one is head to head with them. What a beautiful wildlife we have on this planet that we must all conserve it as it is highly threatened by mainly humans right now.

Fictional documentary
bobbieewilliams26 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The show uses the same footage to tell different stories. The narrative is obviously "scripted".

Some examples: A group of lions coming apon sleeping pigs in the brush was used in at least 2 different episodes. They used a reversed image in the second "story".

They reuse the footage of a male leopard caught in a tree by lions in at least two "stories". Once it is a male separated from a female it was mating. The second time it was a female who "snuck out of the tree". They used the footage of the actual female leaving the male in the tree as the female escaping the lions.

They used three adolescent male lions that would occasionally leave the pride and return as a fictional band of rogue males threatening the pride they actually belonged too.

TLDR: Real footage reused to tell fake stories.
