Synopsis
Ancient maps, legends, and fairy tales all tell of dragons in our world. In nearly every culture, we are taught as children that dragons are big and fearsome, that they fly, breathe fire, are found in caves and live nearly forever. Where did these stories come from? Are they based on real animals? And are there any dragons still to be found today? Romulus Whitaker, renowned reptile expert and conservationist, puts a bit of history together with documented science and some compelling contemporary reports, and sets off to find out. He encounters lizards large and small that can breathe life into medieval legends even today. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
Bonus Program: Supersize Crocs - Crocodiles of any size instill fear in most people. But crocodile conservationist Romulus Whitaker's fear is that the most colossal of these creatures might no longer exist. Driven by the discovery of a twenty-one-foot croc skin in New Guinea, Whitaker sets off on a remarkable hunt to find the last of the leviathans. Venturing to Ethiopia's Lake Chamo, the riverbanks of India's northern border with Nepal, and to the Adelaide River in the Australian Outback, Whitaker searches for evidence of the existence of supersize crocs, and shares his fascinating insights into their world. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
