Lions are for many people the most fascinating of all the big cats; On the one hand, they are the only sociable members of the family, on the other, they are ruthlessly effective predators. Lions have symbolized bravery, strength, and majesty from Roman times, and even today many cities, sports teams, and other modern icons are named after them. The Lions Deluxe box set includes four of the best wildlife films ever shot on the subject of the king of beasts. Lions and Hyenas: A Balance of Power On the grasslands of the Serengeti, home to the largest concentration of game in all of Africa, a delicate balance has developed between two species often presented as competitors. Join Martin Dohrn as he uses thermal cameras and image intensifiers to film day and night, charting the lives of the mystical scavenger and the king of beasts. Watch as the hyena and lion vie for power, sharing the same inhospitable habitat and pursuing the same prey, each existing at the top of the food chain and maintaining a relationship that is far more complex and surprising than myths reveal. APPROXIMATELY 60 MINUTESLions of Etosha Nearly 500 lions roam the vast land of Etosha National Park in Namibia, each pride guarding territory, raising young, and feasting on prey. This film follows the Ombika pride, a family of nineteen, and offers a rare glimpse into the pride system, from family interactions and shared responsibilities to raising cubs and teaching them to hunt. Watch the pride s successes and failures, battles and births, and encounters with elephants and the rarely seen black rhino. APPROXIMATELY 60 MINUTESLions of Gir India s Gir National Park and Sanctuary, one of the largest stretches of unbroken forest, is the last home of the Asiatic lion. Once found from the Mediterranean to Central India, the Asiatic lion was nearly hunted to extinction. Despite conservation efforts, their territory is decreasing and battles with humans are steadily rising. This eye-opening documentary examines the struggles these lions face in surviving. Captured on video for the first time, the Asiatic lion hunts, cowers from humans, and searches longingly for a place to roam. APPROXIMATELY 60 MINUTESLord of the Lions Travel to the African wild in this memorable film about George Adamson. Gaining worldwide fame through Born Free, the literary and cinematic story of the lioness Elsa, Adamson was known by many as the Lord of the Lions and master of the greatest wilderness in the world. Join Sandy Gall as he experiences Kenya and examines the life of the well-respected animal protector. Finished only months before his death, this film features first-hand accounts of Adamson s extraordinary adventures and inspiring life. APPROXIMATELY 60 MINUTES

adamsons lions review
this set of 4 dvd has 1 disk that is of particular interest, would of bought it alone, had we had the chance, but to get the disk of george adamson is very rare, so just being able to get it at all, is a bonus and makes this set very worth while. the presention and packaging is very good, a quality product, the actual filming and qualitly of documentry is of a standard you would expect from 20 year ago out bush.I 'treasure' the disk of Lord of the lions, George Adamson, and find it most worth while and enjoyable, but anyone wanting detail on George would feel the same. The other disk i find interesting is lions and hyenas, but so far have not had the time to view it.

The Proud Predator
This collection gives a look at the "King of Beasts" that is neither melodramatic nor overly romanticized. Lions have captured man's imagination for time immemorial. All the programs are pretty much even-handed, for these animals are predators. Still, there is something about the lion that is by turns admirable, repellant, fascinating, terrifying, and this collection is utterly absorbing.This was actually a gift for someone, and he was delighted with the quality of the trasfers.For someone truly interested in wildlife documentaries, this is a solid collection for the price.

Big Kitties
The scenes in this collection show the gentler side of African lions. George Adamson and his wife, Joy, raised the lioness, Elsa, and habilitated her to the wild, as reflected in the books, Born Free and its sequels. Those who think of lions only as effecient killing machines can see other aspects of their lives in this collection.

I was very surpise how soon we got this package.
This is a great nature series I really enjoyed watching it from start to finish, unfortunately I got two of the same DVDs and was missing one. They pretty much told me there was nothing they could do about it. So I am very dissappointed about that. I think the entire series would have been good if I recieved all of it correctly.

Lions - Deluxe Boxt Set Excellent DVD Set.Much better than I expected. Lord Of The Lions is an excepionally good Documentary On George Adamson.A very touching interview with George Adamson shows what a Great Person he was and what he tried to achieve.Highly recommended for anyone that has an interest in Lions in Africa and India.These DVD's highlight the difficulties with the Lions struggle to survive in the wild. Well worth purchasing.

Terrible quality, don't buy it.
I was so looking forward to receiving this box set of videos as lions are some of my favorite animals and I love watching them. I was sorely disappointed due to the terrible quality of the videos. It was so bad that I checked my DVD player for loose cables and thought the problem was my hardware until I put in a totally different video and found that the problem was not my equipment, it was indeed the poor quality of the videos. So now I'm stuck with a box set of videos that are virtually unwatchable. Personally, I feel that the quality is so poor that this product should not even be sold on Amazon or by any reputable seller.

Poor Quality
These four wildlife shows are not what was expected. The scenes are hazy at best and there are too many humans involved in tracking, so it is not undisturbed scenes.

Lions, Deluxe Box Set
I completely love anything on Lions. These are filmed beautifully with information on lions lives in the wild. They draw you in and inspire one to do more for conservation and the protection of these magnificant animals. Very enjoyable to watch over and over again. If you are a lion lover, you should add this to your library.

As a big fan of the Born Free franchise, this story solidified my love and admiration for all involved in the rehab and care of these animals. I can concur all animals should be set free, free from human malice and interference.

The lions are free
Gut und glaubwürdiger Bericht, der genauso geschehen ist wie berichtet. Schade, dass es nicht mehr Löwenfreunde wie George Adamson gibt! Leider ist er gewaltsam ums Leben gekommen - durch Menschen!
