I have probably seen every nature show and environment/conservation documentary ever made, but the Planet Earth series BLEW ME AWAY!
You have to see it, and get other people to see it. It is amazing! It allowed me to look at nature like never before and some I have never even heard of before. The filming is amazing.

Everytime I watch one of the dvds' I notice something different. The special high-tech photography equipment is amazing. They used cameras that could shoot miles away. No wonder the shots of the rare animals are tremendous.

Voyage to the world's harshest environments and learn how life manages to keep a precarious hold in every desert.

Caves
Descend into the only habitat not directly driven by sunlight to discover some of the most peculiar creatures on Earth. From Borneo's Deer Cave where five million bats roost to cave swiftlets that build nests from saliva, Caves digs deep into an underground world few people have ever explored.

Delve deep into this ecosystem, beyond the flourishing plant life, and find an environment that tests each animal's survival skills.

Discovery Channel has some of the best shows on cable! Period! Makes cable worth while. 5 stars for this lens! Posted May 14, 2007 |
I just bought this series and I swear it is heart-poundingly beautiful. I think I drove my fiance nuts saying "wow", "awesome", "wild", "incredible" every few minutes... OUTSTANDING! It is obvious within minutes of watching any show in the series that this show is a cut above all of the rest.
