Summary: Pure Croc' Action
Comment: If anyone finds themselves spending a nice night in over an enjoyable glass of vodka and coke with a friend and feels like something is missing, it is this DVD.
The narration is superb, interesting and exciting. Unlike other National Geographical DVD's i have watched, The Last Feast also comes with a 'Touch of Comedy' in its storyline. With scenes such as 'Croc with feathers in mouth' and 'Wild Gazelle Panic' which bring the DVD's educational levels up even higher. Other viewers may not appreciate some features of this DVD which interested me so much, such as random bird noises to emphasise the amazing reality the DVD captures of Jungle Life, but this DVD definelty has aspects that even my friend's parents were extremely interested in watching together. Highly reccomended to be viewed in Dolby surround sound 5.1 to capture the true potential of the Aquatic noises of the river and 'Croc Pools'. Surround sound also makes the innovative use of Hippo & Warthog Noises extremely realistic, 'Violently Arriving' from many angles of the room.
If all that wasnt enough, The Last Feast comes with built in photo gallery, with pictures of Gazelles, Crocs (obv), Baboons and other Aromatic animals featured in the Amazing Array of life with Crocs, made even more enjoyable by the musical masterpiece that is the soundtrack to: THE LAST FEAST OF THE CROCODILES.
An excellent Purchase.

Summary: A great documentary
Comment: This is one of the best documentaries that I've seen as it shows nature at it's most raw, just a continuation of life. This just shows what a documentary can be like, full of things that don't make you want to sleep after 5 minutes of viewing.

Summary: One of the best documentaries from National Geographic EVER!
Comment: This one has always captivated me, although I find some of it quite hilarious for some reason. The story is entralling, and you get so caught up in the suspense of it all. It never fails to amaze me how I always end up enjoying this over and over again. Lots of it is very sad, however. We all just have to remember that it IS nature, and this is the way that things are supposed to happen. It's all about survival of the fittest, and this video just goes to prove it! This is most definitely a favorite for my grandfather and I, and I must recommend it to everyone!

Summary: Excellent work
Comment: I don't think this film is as violent as some suggest. Although there are several shots of crocodiles lunging onto land an striking out at prey, most of the killing is implied. The interaction between animals in this documentary is fascinating, particularly the hippo-croc relationship. At one point in the film, a mother hippo nudges her baby into a feeding frenzy of writhing crocs. Of course the crocodiles wouldn't dare harm the offspring of a two ton parent. And although we see some violence in the animals, we also see a lighter side with a croc and her babies, and two determined birds doing their best to protect their young. The confrontation between baboon and crocodile mentioned above is not so heart-wrenching when you consider that the baboons are also predators. One scene with a fawn comes to mind. Overall, Last Feast of the Crocodiles is an intriguing look at wildlife during harsh times, and the strength of survivors.

In the daily struggle for survival, terrible thirst drives wildlife to water...even when the water is just inches away from the jaws of a crocodile. During one harsh season, a punishing drought draws some of Africa's most magnificent creatures to the shrinking pools of the Luvuvhu River. Its dwindling waters provide relief for baboons, impala, elephants, lions, water birds and bee-eaters - but also a refuge for scores of hungry crocodiles. Amidst the stunning scenes of nature at its harshest, strange things happen. A baby crocodile basks on top of a hippopotamus. Baboons attack a crocodile that has taken a youngster from the troop. Crocodiles harass a heron and steal its hard-won catch. And hippos calmly wade into the middle of a crocodile feeding frenzy. But the power of nature and her relentless drought may prove greater than even that of the most fearsome beasts. This cruel season may turn out to be the LAST FEAST OF THE CROCODILES.
