The Monkey Hunters (2004)
Lions rarely hunt baboons. These large monkeys are armed with dangerous teeth, they are hard to catch and usually not worth the risk or effort. But there is one place in Africa's Great Rift Valley where baboons are plentiful and lions have learned to catch them. Baboons are vulnerable at night so they sleep well out of the reach of hungry cats. Some clamber up tall trees, others climb a huge rock kopje. The sides are sheer, the ascent is tough but clinging to tiny toe-holds the monkeys somehow make it to the top. No lion or leopard can scale such heights. Baboons wait for the day to warm up before rising. Lions and leopards are often active around sunrise. A lion eyes a warthog family. A hoglet is a mere mouthful but something is better than nothing, especially when the lioness has her own cubs to feed. To survive at ground level the baboons join forces with their neighbours, including impala and banded mongooses. With so many eyes watching out for danger, it is very hard for predators to hunt in broad daylight.

Jackals-Golden Dogs (2004)
The jackals have the reputation of being cowardly scavengers. It's time to clean up with this prejudice!. Jackals are clever hunters and industrious collector, put together the day by day with great skill a very varied diet. Aas, however makes up only a small part of their diet. Jackals are not cowards. To the contrary, "stealing" of prey remains from the table of the big cats requires plenty of courage. In the dispute over the booty to put the agile Wild dogs also unabashedly with its many competitors, the hyenas, vultures and marabou. It is also admirable, as the jackal decided to defend their young and tricky against troublemakers. The Africans that's all been known for their fairy tales the jackal described as very clever and cunning animal. the film will give you an insight into the life of the jackals.

Elephants of Kilimanjaro (2004)
In eastern Africa, a chain of magnificent volcanoes blisters the face of the earth. Some are dead, others sleep and at least one is very much alive. There's the Black Mountain, the Sacred Mountain and, most famous of all, an icon of Africa, the Great White Mountain - Kilimanjaro. To indigenous tribes these legendary volcanoes are the homes of the gods and known as the Mountains of Eden. Lying three degrees south of the equator in Tanzania, these earthly pimples are astonishingly diverse. Snow capped peaks and glaciers rise above an alien landscape populated by plants seemingly from another world. Lower slopes are blanketed with forests and at its base the mountain open out onto vast savannahs where huge herds roam. The largest and most impressive of all the animals that live on and around the Great White Mountain are elephants. Much less familiar are the shy and rarely seen elephants that dwell in the high forests. In the past elephants roamed freely up and down the mountain. Now they run a treacherous gauntlet as more and more of the slopes are cultivated. As the elephants trudge upward they disappear into thick rain forest. Animals abound here, like Colobus monkeys, buffalo's and silvery cheeked hornbills. Elephants are not designed to scramble up and down steep slopes. Deep ravines represent insurmountable barriers. No elephant has ever reached the top of Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft) but a skeleton was found at sixteen thousand feet. Bleached bones provide proof but why would one of these great beasts ascend so far up the Great White Mountain? No one will know what really happened high on Kilimanjaro but lower down the forest elephants are beginning to reveal some of their secrets…
