DVD Review A HAUNTING: THE 2012 SEASON

I haven't exactly heard great things about this show, and it seems awfully derivative of other supernatural reality series, but if it's even the least bit spooky, then I'm definitely on board.

PR Inside Nature's Giants: Big Cats on DVD May 15

Most wildlife documentaries focus on animal behavior, but "Inside Nature's Giants" goes inside the largest animals on the planet to explore their anatomy, reveal their intricate inner workings and uncover their evolutionary secrets. Veterinary scientist Mark Evans and comparative anatomist Joy Reidenberg dissect a lion and tiger at the Royal Veterinary College in the UK. On the outside, the lion and the tiger look very different; but once their skins are removed, even the experts find it hard to distinguish the two. One of the first questions they tackle is the anatomy of the roar - a characteristic that separates big cats from small. Then they move on to the big cats' powerful forearms, protractile claws, and powerful killing bite in an attempt to dissect the anatomy of the kill.

PR Inside Nature's Giants: Great White Shark on DVD May 8

In this episode, veterinary scientist Mark Evans and comparative anatomist Joy Reidenberg travel to South Africa's KwaZulu Natal Coast, where miles of beach protection nets have been put in place to safeguard humans from a deadly threat: the great white shark. Usually the sharks they catch are quite small, but they've just pulled up the body of a giant, weighing in at more than 2,000 pounds and measuring almost 15 feet - this is the largest great white caught in the nets since 2002. It presents an international team of experts with a rare opportunity to explore this hunter's anatomy to find out how it has evolved into one of the most feared predators in the ocean.
