Drakensberg - Africas Dragon Mountains - Go Wild

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 เม.ย. 2014
  • A dragon hatched from the volcanic furnaces of Gondwanaland. Ancient almost beyond comprehension, yet a living thing. And vast, stretching across a subcontinent, its spine arching above the clouds...
    No lucky dragon, this. Starvation festers beneath the shimmering green of its skin. But to the creatures that live along its flanks, it can be a bountiful provider as well as a remorseless destroyer. Today we call it the Drakensberg, or «Dragon Mountain». «Drakensberg» is a dynamic documentary journey through the life of this ever-astonishing mountain. It is also a story of animal survival in a landscape of overwhelming, pitiless power.

    Having watched a myriad of Wild Nature related documentaries throughout many years, I can, without any hesitation, state that Secrets Of Nature is, by far, my most favorite series.
    Everything about these documentaries is excellent: its format, pristine quality, fascinating plot and storyline with its dramatic succession, captivating and enchanting narration, professional techniques and skills of camera men and women, and the rest of the crew with their painstakingly diligent, hard work and determined dedication to achieve an absolutely excellent production make Secrets of Nature a series of documentaries that are in a whole different league; the bars are set higher than before.
    I only hope that newer documentaries are to be uploaded soon, because one cannot have just enough of these documentaries.
    I am truly looking forward to insatiably watching new stories.
    My gratitude to the entire team, who has made this whole journey possible, is indispensably unmatched!
    Thank you again!

      I concur and have written a similar praise under another documentary from 'The secrets of nature'. This is one of the rare productions that do not force feed the viewer with some subjective self-interested and affected journalist sensationalism. National Geographic has long fallen from its throne and is forcing viewers to listen to immature american trash talk and highly artificially scripted twelve year old bipolar human centered nonsense. Absolutely unwatchable for the sane of mind.

This is well illustrated from the illan atilopes, the chackman baboons, the vultures, the jackals, the plants, the mountain ,the weather,the hydrogaphy, the beetles, the birds and of course man.
    I ' m also amazed by the prowess of the vultures, throwing bones from height to crack it open to the swallowing big bones.
    The imput of man by his paintings make the documentary, well grounded, I
