Natural World - Snow Leopard [DVD]

This is a great DVD. Nisar Malik and Mark Smith set out into the mountains, determined to film snow leopards. Snow leopards are unfortunately very rare and there isn't much footage of them in their natural surroundings. Malik and Smith brave some serious terrain and rough weather and this pays off when they finally find a snow leopard and manage to get in close and film her. I am fascinated by snow leopards and enjoyed watching the rare footage and the fantastic scenery on the DVD. I wish the film could have been longer but as the snow leopard is so rare it's never going to be easy to stroll out and film continuously for a four hour DVD!! Great, would highly recommend it.

Great photography of snow leopard in the wild. This DVD is as much about 1 man;s search for the snow leopard as it is about the snow leopard itself. Normally I do not like such films as generally there is too much chat, but for this I make an exception. The scenery, especially in winter, is amazing. The passion of the man for his country comes across strongly. Well worth watching.

Again David does not disappoint, and his patience in this DVD proved this. It was a real bonus to see Snow Leopards, as they are incredibly rare, and extremely elusive. I would recommend anybody who is interested in Wildlife at all to obtain this- it is very sobering to think that they could soon be extinct. This must have been an incredibly difficult and costly film to make!

What's not to love about snow leopards! Exquisite creatures, can't get enough of them. My grand children will be watching this DVD. So important to love and care for natures treasures. How fortunate are we to be able to see these illusive and rare 'cats'. So grateful for the intrepid explorers who boldly go forth to capture such brilliant images.

Bought this dvd for my 6 year old grandson to put with his adoption pack from wwf for his birthday. He loved it, its educational, well presented and the footage of the snow leopard that the film crew managed to capture was fantastic. It was money well spent.

This is an amazing documentary about the secret life of the snow leopard. If you are looking for a real "first-hand" general view about the natural history and conservation of this species, this is the best way to get it!. Excelllent footages, not so good music, good story... I only noted that if they took so many footages of the snow leopard, I don't know why a few images are shown several times in the same programme... In this way, the edition is not so good!... but anyway, it is an excellent work taking into consideration how difficult is to find this species in the wild. There are just a few documentaries on this endangered big cat, but this one is absolutely the best!.

Before I bought this DVD, I was interested in how an endangered species copes in the 21st century.There was excellent presentation of how the animal was tracked and its behaviour in the mountains and close to human habitation.As it is such a beautiful creature the DVD appeals to even those without a great knowledge of wildlife.L.

BRILLIANT TO SEE SO CLOSE TO A RARE BEAUTIFUL CREATURE AS THE SNOW LEOPARD,THESE POOR CATS HUNTED TO NEAR EXSTINCTION,BUT A WONDERFUL DOCU VERY CHEAP CONSIDERING IT NAT/GEO DOCU
