Watch Nature Tracks - The Highlanders

Highs up on cliff faces, overlooking lush valleys and shadowed by craggy peaks, are found the Drakensburg baboons. Although not sub-species, these primates have adapted to an unusual environment, having to resort to digging for tubers and roots to eat, keeping their troop size smaller than usual and sprouting "woolly" coats to combat the bitterly cold winter months. This award winning, awe inspiring, documentary series deals with all things African. We look at the fascinating diversity and lives of the African wildlife.... from the lush rainforests, to the arid desert sands to the vast oceans surrounding the continent. We also explore the rich diversity of cultures and traditions of the various peoples and regions of this magical land; and, investigate the fragile African environments and man's interaction with her delicate ecosystems. Each program is headed up by a "Did you know" segment: an entertaining, even humorous, short subject followed by a fascinating feature story. Your whole family will enjoy this visual experience.
