I love wild footage... of any and all.

This one has amazing panorama, action, and color!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... of course... they reminded you of your precious Smokey and the Rainbow Bridge, I bet.
My pleasure.

I don't like these video, just b/c they show us the harsh reality of how they are too often treated. It's truly sad, and sad to see any animal species harmed or face the struggle for survival as a whole.

I recently saw a program about the species of animals that have gone extinct in just the 20-21st centuries. It's a bummer.

I actually agree, DRB, mostly. I'm so squeamish that I often don't listen to the voice-over, or I stop a video if it starts to show something sad...
I try to post upbeat videos as a rule.

In Africa, wildlife in general is suffering. Our endemic Meyers Parrots of Malawi can still be seen on the odd day in the garden, eating fruit from the trees or hassling the neighbours dogs.

When you drive the landscape here, its beauty is overwhelming and the poverty staggering. However, in Malawi we have seen a success in conservation and are among few countries (if any others) that have an almost overpopulation of elephants!

The problems and solutions to what we see here is above my pay grade but we try to do what we can. We have a charcoal replacement briquette we market for cooking as our beautiful continent is becoming devoid of trees. But people need to cook. What to do? Fuel briquettes made of leaves, grass, corn stalk cast offs is a start. We need so much more!

But good things are happening. We keep trying.

End of soapbox moment.
