“For the first time ever, we take an exclusive peek into the mysterious lives of the most secretive animals of the African Bushveld”

This film shows the behaviours of some African animals that are rarely, if ever, seen as it delves into the shadowy existence of seven animals seldom seen, let alone captured on television.

Captured on High Definition is the fascinating behaviour of seven enigmatic animals and their top-secret activities, seldom filmed before:

• Serval: stalking, pouncing, scent marking and even fighting with another Serval
  
• African Wildcat: close-up hunts, playing with its catch and eating juicy termites
• Genet: very cat-like in its hunting and evading predators
• Civet: very secretive carnivore and master snake killer
• Aardvark: burrowing holes and raiding termite mounds
• Pangolin: eating termites and being attacked by a group of lion cubs
• Porcupine: feeding, mating and fending off large predators.

This film shows how each one cunningly outwits the local lions and leopards in its own special way, with acute senses and clever strategies for survival.
Each story will introduce us to one of these animals, and give us a privileged glimpse into their extremely private lives and their particular adaptations for life in the dangerous wilderness, where they battle against tremendous odds.

This DVD is accompanied by a beautifully illustrated 24-page hardback reference book. Watch the close-up wildlife film and at the same time read the book to learn about habitats, diet, life cycle and more. The book is packed with intriguing facts, illustrations, photography and a 'Test your knowledge' quiz.
