Disneynature Presents Earth

Posted in Reviews on June 24th, 2010 No Comments

Disneynature Earth was spectacular. The narration, the shots, and the heart pumping acts of nature really pulled off this production; but the point of the production is to raise awareness what is happening to our earth and the dangers that are haunting and will continue to haunt the vase amount of species that take part in our wonderful planet that we call earth. Now I will like to draw your attention and give you two examples of impacts that are facing elephants and polar bears.

Elephants: The elephants in Disneynature earth have two threats presented to them. During the day elephants and lions get along with each other, but as night turns their friendly neighbor now becomes foe. Lions will attempt to hunt the young, but because elephants travel in packs they quickly surround the young to protect them from the lions. Unfortunately as hunger strives the lion pack containing at least 30 take charge after a full grown adult elephant. The second and most deadliest and threat to elephants is dehydration. Elephant have to track for days in order to reach a watering hole to drink from. The mothers and the head elephant have to constantly encourage everyone and the calves to press on.

Polar Bears: Polars Bears are having a tough time to get a meal as each year the arctic ices continue to defrost more rapidly. This makes it extremely tough for the polar bears to find and capture food, and also puts them in danger if the ice breaks. Polars Bears are extremely well swimmers, but as they become exhausted and hungry they could potentially drown. In Disneynature Earth, the father of two cubs was desperately hunger, that he swam for a considerable amount of time before he landed in a walrus breeding ground. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to capture a baby walrus or an adult. But because of his exhaustion, injury from being stab with a tusk, and hunger he found him a spot near the walrus to lie down and pass away.

There are many more examples during the show and its unfortunate that such amazing species are having to resort to desperate measures in order to make it through the night. Who’s to blame, acts humans or acts of nature? I am going to end this with a simple Thank You. Thank You to all those who participated in Disneynature, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and the many others who are taking efforts to protect such wonderful species. Finally thank you to everyone who will see Disneynature Earth during opening week, as each and everyone one of you will have a tree planted in your honor.
