Wild
Down Under
Journey
through time & space as Australasia's natural wonders are revealed
on DVD & VIDEO
Isolated
from the rest of the world for a staggering 45 million years, Australasia
is like no other continent on Earth. With a breathtaking array of
distinctive species and dramatic landscapes, from the vast, arid
interior of Australia to the colourful coastal creatures of the
barrier reef, Wild Down Under is a dazzling look at this truly unique
place.
Released
on October 20th 2003 to accompany a landmark Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Natural History
television series, the DVD & video features all six episodes,
each presented as a detective story, delving into Australasia's
hidden secrets to explain why its wildlife is so special, and how
man has impacted upon this precious land.
From
wombats and wallabies to kookaburras and koalas, Wild Down Under
uncovers mammals that can lay eggs, huge birds incapable of flight
and a greater concentration of deadly reptiles and venomous snakes
than anywhere else on earth! The phenomenal landscape is presented
in fascinating detail as the cameras explore tropical rainforests,
the seemingly barren outback and ancient rock formations.
Dotted
with a fabulous string of islands, amidst miles of colourful reefs
teeming with life, the incredible beauty of the Australasian oceans
is also showcased, as they stretch from the equator to the sub-Antarctic,
hiding a myriad of undiscovered natural treasures.
With
stunning visuals and crystal clear sound, Wild Down Under on DVD
also boasts special features that include a 'Wildlife on One' wombat
special, fact files and a photo gallery.
