Realm of the Alligator - Region 2 DVD

“Get close-up to alligators and still keep all your fingers”

Enter the mysterious, uncharitable wilderness of Okefenokee, 700 square miles of swampland on the Georgia-Florida border.

Eerie, forbidding, and darkly beautiful - Okefenokee is ruled by a relative of the dinosaur: the fearsome alligator.

Day and night the alligator glides silently through its steamy realm, stony eyes just above the waterline, mouth held in a seemingly perpetual smile.

Join scientists as they study the behaviour of these huge and powerful reptiles in Realm Of The Alligator.

Set deep in the Okefenokee swamp between Florida and Georgia, National Geographic’s Realm of the Alligator delves deep into the lives of these fearsome and ferocious creatures.

Pernell Roberts narrates in detail the reproductive habits and developmental tendencies of alligators, and the program also includes violent feeding scenes in which a gator slowly moves in on its prey before pouncing with incredible speed.

The scenes are jarring and intense, giving the viewer vivid insight into the danger that an alligator can pose. The documentary also features interviews with scientists who have devoted their lives to the study of these contemporary dinosaurs.

Reviews:

“This is a great film that will give you a lot of information about alligators. It will tell you how they hunt, how they mate and how they bring up their young. There are some beautiful sequences in this video, including a scene with a snake and how people can attract alligators. This film also gives some information on the Okefenokee swamp and what other creatures live there. This is a good documentary on alligators so check it out!”

“This documentary is both an entertaining and intelligent look at the alligator and its place in nature. Very good photography of the gators, both in the wild and in zoos is used, and the narration by Pernell Roberts is very good.”

“Most commonly thought of as hand-removal machines, alligators are the undisputed top carnivores of America’s southern wetlands. National Geographic’s Realm of the Alligator takes you deeper than you’d ever want to go in person into the Okefenokee swamp, straddling Florida and Georgia, to explore the private lives of these modern-day dinosaurs. The feeding scenes are awe-inspiring - to see such a large, typically slow-moving animal strike with such speed and ferocity is breathtaking. Reproduction and development are covered in depth, as well, with tiny alligators crawling out of their eggs to begin their carnivorous lives almost immediately. Exciting and informative, National Geographic’s Realm of the Alligator lets you get close and still keep all your fingers.”
