  • 5 years ago
Released by Reader's Digest Video in 1998.

For every species of animal, 'Family' means something different. In this beautifully photographed, richly revealing video, you'll come face to face with family life as you've never seen it before - from baboons displaying motherly love and fatherly protection in the Okavango delta of southern Africa to the extraordinary culinary habits of the female black widow and praying mantis, who may have to ensure thier young's survival by eating their mates.

Witness the beauty of the seahorse mating ritual ans the extraordinary sight of the male of the species giving birth ... see the amazing nest-building displays of male weaver birds as they seek to impress prospective mates ... hear the thundering tones of male elephant seals laying claim to their harem of females ... and be there at the critical moment when a zebra gives birth - when the new-born member o the herd has just minutes to memorise its mother's unique pattern of stripes while its father remains on the lookout for predators.

Watching THE WONDERS OF LIFE'S BEGINNINGS, you'll agree that - no matter how many times it occurs - a birth is always something miraculous. Each heralds the culmination of courtship and the arrival of the new generation.
