Description

This DVD trio features three awesome specials from National Geographic that you won't find in stores: "Wild Hawaii," "Winged Seduction: Birds of Paradise," and "A New Age of Exploration : National Geographic at 125"


"Wild Hawaii"


More than 5 million years ago Hawaii rose from the sea, a volcanic wasteland. How these islands transformed themselves into paradise is a story that defies the odds and challenges our expectations. Now, Nat Geo WILD takes us on an untamed journey to WILD HAWAII as we are taken from the oldest islands, tiny atolls that barely break the sea, all the way to the big island called Hawaii, where some of the newst land on earth is being created each day by the volcano know Kilauea. We'll see turtles that bury secrets, humpback whales that fight to the dead and tiger sharks that amaze us with their savagery.


"Winged Seduction: Birds of Paradise"


They have the campiest costumes and the craziest mating game in the feathered kingdom. No other birds on earth go about the business of breeding quite like New Guinea's birds of paradise. Here in the sweaty, vine-tied jungle, male birds' intricately choreographed hops, shakes, flaps and flutters send females quivering.


"A New Age of Exploration: National Geographic at 125"


Like characters from science fiction, humans are shattering boundaries long considered unbreakable. We are exploring the deepest, darkest regions of the planet as well as the edges of the know universe. We're morphing machines and eradicating disease. Meet the trailblazers who are working on the unexplored frontiers of exploration and innovation. Experience an incredible odyssey that reveals that superhuman abilities lie not just in strength or intelligence but in the dogged determination of the human spirit to continually seek the next frontier.
