Planet Earth , brilliant yet again

Although not for the faint hearted . Seeing an elephant hunted down and eaten by lions , sickening yet fascinating at the same time .

 

lion king and the wild '' dvd getting put in wheelie right now ....(

 

Love to see lions and tigers hunting - so majestic!

I'll have to remember to record the rerun

 

<font size="4">how may geese were in that flock.............awsum</font></p>

 

I agree , but I bet that film crew didn't think so

When they got that puncture !!

 

I cant watch it when...

They are eating something alive! eating them when they dead doesnt bother me, but when alive is just sick and wrong!

 

The re-run next Saturday is edited to take out all the bits that might upset the little uns - get it downloaded.

 

I agree...awesome

But what about that fox with the square head?!

 

Agreed - but namby-pamby brigade are already out ....

... apparently the lions v elephant scenes were too graphic and we didn't need to see all of the footage up to the 'kill'.

Pathetic, isn't it ?

 

I hated the scene

.. where that scraggy Arctic Fox pinched a Snow goose chick and took it home for the family to tear up and eat.</p>

Still alive and yelling for it's mam, with a perplexed &quot;why the chuff me&quot; sound in it's voice.</p>

Could have cried.</p>

 

RE: I hated the scene

I found that part more distressing than the pack of lions that attacked the elephant calf.

 

Very uncomfortable to watch

But , to me , the programme shows wildlife in it's true magnificent form and not some diluted fabrication .

 

RE: not unlike Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall...

...who deserves time based on himshowing people whst exactly it is that they are eating...then slaughters a chicken in front of them and serves it up the same night. Lovely
