Did anyone else just shout hooray? Serengetti BBC1 now.

I really don't like Serengeti. Although I'm ok with watching nature programmes where animals have to kill other animals to survive, I find the way Serengeti is edited unpleasant to watch.

F**k off, you big bottomed baboon!

Nice one, Bakari.

Yup! My type of programme. Real life...can't beat it.

Interesting link merlotgran. So it has been pieced together. (Yes. Slightly Disney) There was definitely a drone involved too. I saw it's shadow!

Love it anyway.

this has been a wonderful series. However, do wonder if we are really watching the same animals they have named all the time. When the young Zebra foal was floundering in themud it was totally covered in the mud, when it finally got out and up the bank, the mud was only on its legs.
However, I am totally in awe of this filming, and do not really care if they have edited bits together to try to keep to story lines.
Just wonder how these animals continue to live in such surroundings, should imagine that the life span is not great for any of them, except perhaps the large elephant females.

There's some information on the filming, here

Why? They went to a blank screen for the killing this time.

I can't watch programmes like this.

Computer graphics? Stock footage? All combined.

They don't learn do they?

They got into trouble for faking it before. polar bears

Just watched it too. Love it! Khali is so beautiful. My OH wouldn't believe that fire was real. I think it was. What does everyone else think?

DH said the same, Gonegirl. It was all a bit Disney.

Your little dog looks very comfy merlot.

Did all that fire really start with one tree being struck by lightning? Or is the Beeb cheating again?

It is very good .

Baktari saved the baby. My hero. Sigh!

Poor Khali

I just love this programme

Peggy is watching it over my shoulder.

Aaah! He's got a friend at last.

I adore this program, totally enthralled by every episode.

I worry about the young elephant too. Been turned away from the family. All on his own now.

I just knew you'd be watching it merlot!

Yes. Me!!

That poor little foal has been through so many scrapes I don't think my nerves can stand any more.

Couldn't believe it last week when he staggered across a crocodile's head trying to get to the bank and the croc was so surprised it didn't do anything.
