Sonoran Desert: A Violent Eden - National Geographic VHS

[@TheSKYLAR987]

I remember in elementary watching these type of documentaries. I always knew it was going to be a good day when the teacher wheeled in the stand with the TV and VHS player into the room.

[@ConnieWojahn]

Sounds like a good experience. All I had in elementary school was a pull down map of the world which the teacher didn't use much. We had to sneak in during recess when she went to the bathroom and peak at it then and hope we didn't get caught.

Seen this doc a few times, never get tired watching.....👍

[@garypavlosky5256]

Would love to have some of the used camera equipment for awhile!Great photography!

[@babadieme]

Wild life rules are very tough! Can't stop watching and realizing how easy and smooth ours is! Even if some of us act unhuman!

[@gabriele223]

Amazing Documentary, thanks for uploading. Greetings from Tucson.

[@cacatr4495]

Greetings from Tucson to you too. You might enjoy my large Arizona playlist, an organized video tour of much of the state, showing first the monsoon followed by the Tucson region, then moving northward and around the state. :)

[@rottinhottie]

On point! As an Arizona native this is a decent representation of this unique desert 🏜️. Many animals and plants were unmentioned, yet the point got across.

[@breAnnasmama]

rottinhottie yes I’d have loved to see some follow up episodes to go with this lovely documentary! I love love love watching esp desert environment/ wildlife documentaries .. and under water life as well ... I am really wanting to see the America national parks series again that natgeo created/ released in 2015.. I had them saved into my dvr but we upgrade the system and then I can’t watch them 😂. Nobody has the exact version uploaded to KZbin , as i check often. They aired recently , last wk in August , on KZbin paid version or tv version , however it’s called. But I could not watch it , even when I tried , as yt does not allow purchase from iPhone . Not sure why. But the series has many lovely episodes. Two covering This desert and many elements , wildlife variation etc , with interesting narrative , despite how I really do not prefer when any network wants to put music ( usually overly loud ) into the video , especially when it is throughout and not just at intro and end. But I still enjoyed those documentaries so much and wish I can find them to watch for free .. such beautiful place to enjoy ! And the series I refer to , it covers this desert location , as well as Olympic , Yellowstone , Appalachian , ever glades , Grand Canyon and I am not sure of which others but gives beautiful documentary of each place. Also shows California giant redwood trees/ forests. I am not sure how it’s called. But there are two KZbin channels that uploaded few episodes but they tried to get away from copyright issue by speeding up vocal /narrative or they include such horrible vignette with prismatic overplay on screen where u cannot see the film at all. Such waste just to avoid copyright... some channels will just put banner screen around slightly smaller viewing area but leave video intact & they do fine that way .. i wish for those who uploaded , they’d have chosen that as well 😂. Living in Arizona , you must have seen over the course of being there , the most Beautiful sunrise / sunsets , with amazing night sky with so may stars visible , more so than most can be fortunate to see from other areas ! The landscapes are so beautiful and make one feel so small , in the grand design of it all .. it’s very humbling experience, I should think ! I have never been to Arizona . Have only flown over everything, including Grand Canyon. It was scary omg i thought i would die. The pilot had so much fun turning the aircraft to its side without warning haha .

[@triplehate6759]

Haven't seen this in ages, thanks for the upload! I remember when I was a kid, the library I used to rent this from actually let me keep it since no one else ever touched it, brings back some fond memories!

[@gisellerangel6315]

Thank you! I have a much better understanding of the desert now.

[@culbinator]

Easily one of the best docs about the Sonoran Desert ever made

[@maxpowers3494]

The owl at 39:01 is like "what the hell is going on".

[@SCUBONZIES]

NICE PLACE TO LIVE THOUGH ,

[@lynnleigha580]

That cactus bit back, lolol! Snake didn't see that coming

[@hectorcardenas2171]

Beautiful desert.

[@owenivor]

Fascinating documentary! On the other hand, it seems the rain frogs were the only ones that didn't fall prey to another animal.

A lizard only 2” long at best causes my mother to scream as if Godzilla is destroying our house. 😅😂 god forbid this one ever enters

[@babadieme]

Love it!

[@mryes413]

They spared no expense to get Richard Kiley.

[@flowerdefknows]

I remember watching this in class, when the snakes and bees were breeding we all wheezed and laughed 😭😭

[@roshangeorge2127]

Can you upload "Africa's Stolen River"?

[@stephanlarsen8169]

That is not a shovel mosed snake that ate the scorpion. It is a variable sand snake. Very small

[@nexusprime2006]

I recognize that voice over at the beginning thags the guy from the Saturday morning cartoons voice over at least I think it is

[@breAnnasmama]

Why did they amplify all the chewing noises though

[@fuzzythoughts666]

To remind you you must always chew your food properly

[@tvviewer4500]

An American tail fievel Goes west the Sonora desert a violent Eden

[@breAnnasmama]

My heart broke for that mama squirrel 🐿 😔. . She was trying to run and save her babies and had no idea what awaited her ... and her babies likely were killed too .. even with her efforts. They’d not have survived without her but it’s just sad that she payed with her life , trying to protect her babies from one threat, only to be met with another. Ah Nature .,. Sometimes you amaze me ... sometimes you suck 😂 But there’s a time and season for everything in Gods creation .. time to live , to die. Every Breath we get is a gift and opportunity, even if we don’t always see it that way .. Also, dang ... mama mouse only being able to run away while her little pink babies get killed ? Sad !!!! Thanks camera dude ... for standing by and watching just to get the shot ... I know it’s best to not interfere and disrupt nature but at times , it’s really not that bad of an idea ... esp when it may give one animal a meal in one setting , but at least if they grow , that’s feeding more , am I right ? 😂 Meanwhile.. get a load of 39:07 😂😂😂 👀that owl was like WHAT THE CRAP IS going on ? Omg , that was intense ! 🦉 was like a train wreck .. it couldn’t look away omg !

[@cisvaughan6937]

Bloody hell, can you stop making the images flicker? It could trigger someone's epilepsy

[@DrRussellMcConnell]

I love the desert. And I loved seeing it without a climate change lecture.

[@secretsquirrel6718]

This was a good series. Geeze if they made it now it would be all about the climate change scam.

[@JambleRamble]

AHAHHAAHAA THE SCAM

[@pango-y8j]

It's not a Long Nosed snake or Shovel Nosed. It's a Variable Sand Snake.. they get maybe eighteen inches long. Cheers Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🍄🌵🧬🌊💧💦🍄

[@hemanag1020]

That looked like a fake kill
