Description:
A Walk on the Wild Side, starring a hairy, scaly, and feathery cast of thousands, explores the many ways animals get around in the world. There's the cheetah, the fastest animal on land, with an extended stride of 24 feet, who preys on the world's second-fastest animal, the gazelle. Off the coasts of the Galapagos, water-borne iguanas and sea turtles perform like synchronized swimmers. But the greatest treat--if you want to call it that--of the show is the heroic journey of a dung beetle rolling its prize home to the family burrow. The quality of film and sound in A Walk on the Wild Side never ceases to amaze. Footage of a school of hatchet fish leaping out of the water to escape predators invites freeze-frame viewing, and you could use the gorgeous shots of butterflies to sell your TV if you wanted to. Bonus material--including trivia and information on endangered species--is a nice touch but isn't the best part of the program by any means. A must-have for nature-show enthusiasts. --Ryan Boudinot
