Ocean Giants [Blu-ray]

Just awesome!!!
I saw this on PBS about 2 weeks ago and was just captivated - I need to have this to show my daughter! They showed the documentary in 3 one-hour segments and I couldn't move away from the television the entire time.

Get it, get it, get it!!!!! You will have no regrets!

The last episode concentrates on vocalizations used for communication, echolocation, and hunting.

Ocean Giants DVD

The DVD arrived in the mail promptly -- I should say both of them arrived promptly. I received 1 BluRay copy and 1 regular copy, even though I don't have BluRay equipment. My sister does though, and so she is enjoying that copy. Great filming of whales and dolphins in the wild...
