DVD Review: Growing Up - Five DVD Gift Set - Page 2

Author: FitzPublished: Dec 01, 2008 at 8:12 pm 4 comments

"Growing Up Safari" introduces us to baby rhinos and zebras, an orphaned giraffe, and even a hyena! We visit Pretoria, South Africa where two orphaned baby rhinos grow and face a mysterious illness. And baby zebras are raised to be reintroduced into the African wilds. In California, an orphaned giraffe is raised to be introduced into the sanctuary's herd. And finally, hyenas are misunderstood and feared beasts. One man thinks they should be respected more than vilified.

"Growing Up Wilderness" shows stories about wolves and black bears in Minnesota, deer in Alaska, and moose in Quebec. All of these animals are given a chance to survive in captivity or in the wild as caregivers do their best to help them adjust to the circumstances of their very lives.

And "Growing Up Primates", a bonus disc, tells the tales of baby orangutans, as well as orphaned gorillas and baboons. From Africa to Borneo, caregivers do their best to keep these animals breeding and alive.

If you have an animal lover in your house, Growing Up - Five DVD Gift Set would be a great gift for the holidays. Hours of amazing stories from orphaned arctic seals, tiger cubs, rhinos, wolves, and an orphaned gorilla to name a few. Be sure to check it out!
