Squids & Octopuses - Mysterious Hunters of the Deep Sea | Ocean Documentary Octopuses and squids are anything but cuddly pets. They have neither legs nor fins. Instead, they have snakelike arms, covered in suction caps - eight or ten, dangerous tentacles, which grow out of their heads. To add to their bizarre appearance, they are soft flabby, void of vertebrae or bones. When in danger, they emit foul-smelling ink. They originate from a time before humans walked the earth; from the primeval period, before fish populated the oceans. It is therefore hardly surprising, that these cephalopods seem so strange and disconcerting to us. Our film trip takes us to the Sea of Cortez, to the Socorro Islands, where fish are in abundance. It is here that we want to find the legendary Humboldt squid, to capture its nocturnal hunt for food on camera. Mantas, white-tip reef sharks, sea lions and dolphins accompany us. Before our late night rendezvous with the squids, we get some close ups of the sophisticated hunting techniques of swordfish, or Merlin. On Vancouver Island, we

The Liuwa plain is a spectacular and remote African plain and the source of the mighty Zambezi River. Rich golden grasslands dominate this dramatic landscape; but every year violent storms hit the Liuwa and the Zambezi bursts it’s banks, dramatically transforming this savannah into a vast lake shallow lake. Liuwa’s wildlife is just as dynamic, some leave, others arrive and for those that stay, they have had to adapt to a changing landscape and compete fiercely for territory and food. Our story is told through the eyes of a permanent predator of the Liuwa plain, the last remaining lioness of Liuwa. She is the sole survivor of a senseless massacre that took the rest of her pride. She is a symbol of the Liuwa, a place that challenges all who live here and where adaptation is crucial to survival. Her story is true and she remains the only lion

Family Spirit: The African Golden Wolf | Free Wildlife Documentary NOTE: This documentary was filmed and produced in 2008. Since then a series of analyses on the species' mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genome have revealed, that the previously thougt African variant of the Golden Jackal is actually distinct from it and is more closely related to the gray wolf and the coyote. Subsequently it is now known as the African golden wolf (Canis lupaster). Please excuse the outdated informations stated in this documentary. This film follows the lives of some of Africa’s smartest and most sociable animals, two families of golden jackals living in Tanzania’s spectacular Serengeti Plains. These animal characters are possibly the most endearing killers you’re ever likely to meet. The events of their lives in just one breeding season are full of drama, comedy, tragedy and tenderness. Jackals live in a nuclear family and they mate for life. Our two Jackal families are neighbors on the Short Grass plains between Naabi Hill & the Gol Kopjes. The “Gol” pair Storm & Zabar have three young pups just

The Sumatran Tiger - The Last of Their Kind | Free Wildlife Documentary In January 2009 a resin tapper is brutally attacked and killed in the forests of Sumatra’s Jambi Province. In the following months there are 7 more deaths, each more gruesome than the last. The culprit is a 200 lb Sumatran tiger, a critically endangered species. But this isn’t the only crime here. Over 60% of Sumatra’s rainforest has disappeared in the last 25 years, cleared by global paper companies and for oil palm plantations and leaving behind a biological desert. Man is not normally on the menu for these tigers but the destruction of their habitat and prey means this majestic predator has been left with no choice. With less than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild it is expected to be the first predator to go extinct this century. But hope lies with a small group of dedicated individuals. In a race against the clock specially trained forest rangers must find the man-eater before local hunters do. With so few left in the wild Indonesia’s

England's Most Beautiful Destination: The Lake District | Free Nature Documentary For anyone searching for England's most beautiful view, the ultimate prize lies in the Lake District. Framed by the sweeping peaks of England's northwest, dozens of crystal-clear lakes mirror the sky. But this landscape offers far more than just postcard-perfect views. At Honister Pass, thrill-seekers can experience the adrenaline of the mountains firsthand. Suspended high above a deep gorge on a steel cable, a massive zip wire serves as the star attraction. Beneath the riders lies a historic, still-active slate mine. Slate is the lifeblood of the region; for centuries, it has shaped the local identity, and it still covers the roofs of nearly every nearby home.

Jersey - Sunny Island in the English Channel | Free Nature Documentary Jersey - the Channel Island is one of the areas under british rule that can boast the most hours of annual sunshine. Not that Dave Cowburn cares very much. He works in the dark, cool ducts of an old bunker from World War II. Here he breeds turbot and is very successful at it, too. The "Jersey Royal", the regal potato, has been grown on the island since 1880, fertilized with seaweed from the surrounding ocean. In the third generation, Christine Hellio manages approximately 20 hectares on the coast. "The potato is our most important export commodity", she says. It is harvested by hand, as machines cannot be used on the steep fields. The price is quite regal, too: One kilogram costs 6 Euros. Hugh Gill is one of around 240 voluntary police officers on Jersey. The Honorary Police is regarded as the oldest organised police system in the world. Hugh works for them for one week every month. On the green lanes, the streets of Jersey, the

Wild Germany: The Mecklenburg Lake Plateau | Free Nature Documentary At 117 square kilometres(45 sq mi), the Müritz is the second largest lake in Germany (after Lake Constance) and the largest lake located entirely within German territory. But it is far from being the only one in the north east of the country. The Mecklenburg Lake District, between Waren and Feldberg, contains around 2000 lakes alone. Thanks to the Müritz National Park the species diversity is particularly high in the region: half of the German crane population breeds in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; the osprey is typical of the Müritz area, the lively Eurasian otter hunts here and the endangered red milan circles the skies above. Fred Bollmann, the former ranger and voluntary nature conservationist is actively involved in the preservation of ‘his’ wildlife world. Filming for this production took two years.

Pearl of the Carribean: The British Virgin Islands | Nature Documentary The British Virgin Islands belong to the Lesser Antilles and are a dream for bon-vivants and the super-rich: Caribbean nonchalance, combined with British understatement. Moko Jumbies, mysterious spectre ejectors, dancing in the light of the fire. They are fantastic entities on stilts, more than four metres tall. The group only takes commands from Shevorn, a descendent of the slaves that the Dutch once abducted to the Virgin Islands. The slaves brought something new with them to the Caribbean: the belief in ghosts. The services of the Moko Jumbies are still sought after to this day.

Skagerrak - Europe's Unique Marine Animal Habitat | Nature Documentary The strait that connects the North Sea with the Baltic, with depths of over 700 meters, is notorious for its strong currents. But currents also mean food and therefore nourishment. The sea grass meadows are comparable with those off the Californian coast. Harbour seals, grey seals and orcas hunt here, as do the rare black mouth cat shark and porpoises. Close by, catfish mate, which has never been caught on film before. Lion's mane jellyfish with nettle threads of up to 30 meters in length make their way through the open sea. Skagerrak's coastal regions are amongst the most beautiful and varied in Europe and boast one of the world's great bird paradises. Oystercatchers, sandwich and arctic terns are more plentiful here than anywhere else in Europe.

The Lueneburg Heath: Manmade Wildlife Paradiese | Wildlife Documentary Forests and fields, moors and heathland, shepherds and sheep - these are the symbols of an ostensibly unspoilt landscape that has inspired poets and painters alike for centuries. The secret of the almost 500 km² nature reserve Naturpark Südheide lies in its diversity: the origins of its soil, geology and topography can be traced back to the ice age. But the region between Hamburg and Hannover is anything but unspoilt. For centuries, it was synonymous with heathland farmers and formed as a North German cultivated landscape. This documentary tells of an almost unknown region, which has been strongly influenced by mankind for centuries, yet still remains diverse in its nature. Nature filmmaker Günter Goldmann presents the Lüneburg Heath to us with impressive behavioural observations of quarrelling black grouse, badgers in their subterranean burrows, the clashing of young wild boar and crane fledglings, who seek protection in the warm plumage of their parents. Aerial views present the region from a lofty perspective, while extreme HD slow motion images of black grouse, wild

Majestic Bears of Alaska & British Columbia | Wildlife Documentary Our film journey begins in Alaska's west. We are hoping to find glacier bears in the glacial regions of the Katmai National Park on the Douglas River. By late July, brown bears arrive to fish for salmon while grizzlies forage for berries and green twigs in the nearby forests. This is Katmai, Alaska’s most volcanic region—a "powder keg" of 15 active volcanoes ringed by glaciers. In the Hook Glacier area, we are joined by moose and lynx, while bald eagles gather at the glacial boundary to feed on their catch. We eventually spot a rare glacier bear; driven by hunger, he has descended from the ice to feast on fresh shoots and berries. Continuing our film expedition, we head toward Princess Royal Island in British Columbia. En route, we encounter black bear sows guiding their cubs to the salmon runs, staying vigilant against nearby New World porcupines. Then, out of the blue, a Kermode—or "spirit bear"—appears. Seemingly unafraid, he focuses entirely on the salmon. Soon, a second Kermode emerges to

Alpine Rivers: The Cradle if Life | Nature Documentary What would happen to the mountains without water? They would turn into deserts, devoid of life and vegetation. But there are very few mountains without water on our planet. They take care of this themselves, creating their life’s element and taking water directly from the sky by entrapping the clouds around them. This water then collects on the flanks of the mountains, where it turns from rivulets into rivers, that flow out into the oceans. Mountains and water are symbiotic, a cycle that keeps life on earth going. Mountain streams slowly move along meadows before, only moments later, turning into the spray of waterfalls or small mystic lakes. What kind of life can be found in and around this mysterious cosmos? We will investigate the world of the rare Danube salmon and be there to see the Danube bleak spawn. We will follow giant wels catfish into their hideouts, see great crested grebes on their underwater hunting. We go diving under the ice of frozen mountain streams and lakes, discovering life

Located just one thousand kilometres off the American mainland lies the crown jewel of the Atlantic Ocean: Bermuda!

Adventure Ocean Quest - Special Episode: Discovering Another World | Ocean Documentary As much as 71% of Earth’s surface is covered by water, representing one of the last great frontiers on this planet. We literally have only scratched the surface of what lies beneath the waves. And even of the species we have found, we know relatively little. Perhaps the greatest challenge we face in exploring the oceans is to get close enough to marine life to observe undisturbed natural behaviour. This could allow newinsights into life in the oceans, but it is a tall order given the noise disturbance and clouds of bubbles emitted by most diving equipment. So some scientists have now turned to freediver Frederic Buyle: they want to exploit his noiseless and calm method of diving to approach even shy animals and find explanations to some of the mysteries of marine life. His abilities are remarkable: he can descend to depths exceeding 50 metres and stay there for up to 4 minutes on a single breath. Responding to calls for help from researchers, Frederic has teamed

In the middle of the Antarctic Ocean, an entire mountain range arises from the water: South Georgia, the nursery of the Antarctic.

Cocos Island - Mysterious Wonder of the Pacific Ocean | Nature Documentary Cocos Island protrudes from the Pacific Ocean - a lone volcano peeking out of the blue grey waters, off the Costa Rican coast. The island has many similarities with the fictional Treasure Island, penned by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, himself an intrepid traveler. Maybe he was inspired by tales of Cocos Island as he never went there himself. The tiny island is just 25 sqm2 and covered by an impenetrable jungle of streams, waterfalls and gorges, making it the world's largest uninhabited island rainforest. Because it is so isolated, unique flora and fauna flourish. Today, as a national park and world natural heritage, park rangers guard and oversee the entire island so it may hopefully remain a treasure for decades and centuries to come. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bring high-class documentaries to you on the original video platform for free.

Wildlife Laws: Only the Fastest Will Survive | Wildlife Documentary In a land of dangers, plant-eating animals are always at risk, and never more so than at the time of their birth; out on the open they are vulnerable and there are few places to hide. But luckily some are born to run… Out on the African plains life can get off to a shaky start. Millions of baby wildebeests, zebras and antelopes are born at the same time.

Blue Realm - Episode 13: White Shark Tourism: A Dangerous Gamble Believe it or not, many scuba divers want to see great whites up close, and photographers want dramatic shots. But how do you get the sharks to where you want them? For decades, it's been done by baiting, or “chumming” – attracting sharks with food. This practice is being questioned and banned in many countries because of a dramatic increase in shark attacks. In April 2012, a champion South African surfer was killed by a great white and shark tourism operators and documentary filmmakers were blamed. They were chumming in the area at the time of the attack. In Western Australia, 5 deaths are attributed to white sharks in just the first 6 months of 2012. Three surfers have also been killed by the sharks recently in California - more deadly attacks in a year than in the past dozen years combined. And the sharks have even been spotted as far north as Canada and a swimmer was attacked in Massachusetts. What's going on? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary

Croatia's Secret Animal Paradise | Nature Documentary Every year in the middle of Croatia, like clockwork, nature repeats itself: after the annual snowmelt, a huge flood wave spills out of the Alps toward Zagreb and Belgrade. This leads to an increase in the River Sava's water levels of some ten meters. The contents of more than ten billion bathtubs floods an area the size of Lake Constance, often for months on end, yet the Croatian and Serbian capitals are spared a flood disaster. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the Sava is able to flow unhindered. The annual floods create a natural retention reservoir for flood control: bordering the Sava is a natural paradise, exceptional in Central Europe. In the species-rich, alluvial flood plains of the last major meadow landscape of the continent, enormous predatory fish like the catfish lie in wait for prey. Fish catch birds. Birds catch fish. Horses bath in the waters. A riotous paradise with an abundant and diverse animal life. A rare view that shows what natural floodplains mean, when nature

Kenya: A Trip through Wildness | Wildlife Documentary Fascinating landscapes and a breathtaking variety of animals, this is Kenya. From elephant to leopard and giraffe to rhinoceros, this area is a place for the animals of Africa where to grant them protection is more important for the people than to hunt them. A variety of national parks award Kenya as a paradise for animals. These refuges are also an important standing leg for the tourism. Many of them are managed by the state, however, some are operated by animal welfare organisations or private animal lovers. The Solio game reserve is such a place.

There's no reason for anyone to rush in Wales - if only there wasn't the tide that keeps everyone on their toes: from the cockle collector, the Punch & Judy puppeteer on the beach, to the female parish priest of Saint Cwyfan, the little "Church in the Sea". If her sermon is too long, the entire congregation is stuck on the church island. Countless Hollywood films have been shot on the spectacular Welsh coast, but the Mars robot, which moves across the beach at Clarach Bay, is real. The landscape is reminiscent of the red planet - a perfect test mission for the Mars mission planned by the European Space Agency, or ESA. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bringing you high-class documentaries on the original video platform for free with the latest camera equipment used by nature documentary filmmakers working for specialized production studios.

Blue Realm - Episode 6: Whale Sharks They’re not whales at all, but by far the largest fish in the sea. Yet at nearly 50 feet in length and weighing 20 tons or more, they eat only the smallest marine animals. They are not a threat to humans, but their numbers are dramatically shrinking. Like elephants slaughtered for their ivory tusks, whale sharks are relentlessly pursued by poachers. From Africa to Asia, they are targeted for their meat and immense fins. Whale Sharks: Gentle Giants introduces us to this amazing creature through scientists who are racing against time to save the species. Utilizing space-age technology from NASA and the Hubble Telescope, researchers are able to identify, catalogue and track individual sharks. In Mexico and remote Western Australia, whale shark tourism has proven to be both a blessing and a curse, as more and more boats vie for fewer animals. The program also features the remarkable story of shark cowboys who captured and transported 4 live whale sharks (in customized jumbo jets) to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
