Predator Collection

If you are looking for films about aliens with dreadlocks and ray guns that hunt down humans, then you have been mislead by the title. And that’s a good thing because you are about to be introduced to a word that makes that Hollywood Sci-fi stuff look tame by comparison. The set contains four documentaries from the Smithsonian Channel — Big Cats of the Savannah, Cheetah: Price of Speed, Witness Lions in Battle and Diving with Crocodiles – that take you on an up close arm adventure to look at the world’s most fierce predators do what they do best: Hunt and eat other animals. Granted, some of the footage is difficult to watch, particularly if you are squeamish, but it’s never too graphic, even for younger viewers. The movies are more than just a series of gory killings though. There’s lots of science to be learned, although it’s done so you’ll never know you’re learning as you watch.
