The Wild Florida Collection (as seen on public television)



Liked it on PBS so I bought the video
I saw parts of this on a PBS station in Florida and found it to be very entertaining. I liked the footage of all the different animals in Florida, and who would have though there were so many. The quality of the footage was great.

Great educational tool
My son loves animals so I thought this would be perfect for him. After watching it with him, I know it was the right choice and I am so pleased with my purchase. It's not only informative but entertaining as well. It held the interest of both myself, my husband and my son.

Calling all wildlife enthusiasts
I bought the Wild Florida set and it is actually very good and quite informative. It was produced by Miami public television and - like a lot of their programming - is very high quality and well researched. I suspect the disappointed reviewer that gave it one star was simply not aware that the Florida Panther is in fact simply a sub species of the American Cougar (Puma Concolor). It is called a panther because that's its local name. However, just to be clear, Panther, Painter, Mountain Lion, Catamount, and various other local names have been used to describe the American Cougar. While we're on the subject, I might as well also point out that the "Black Panther" in nothing more than a melanistic (black) Leopard or Jaguar. As far as the shots of the Florida Panther (American Cougar) go, it's a very rare animal in the wild, and only about 100 individuals are in existence. Therefore, the station choose to use film of captured animals.
I gave it 5 stars because it's very informative...
