Land Of The Tiger
Land Of The Tiger is an excellent documentary about tigers living in Kanha National Park and Ranthambhor National Park in India. Tigers are shown carefully stalking through high grass and vigorously charging after their prey, including one slow-motion sequence of a tiger bounding through water to make a capture. A large male tiger heaves up a dead 250-pound sambar in a lake and powerfully pulls the elklike animal through deep water and dense plants to the shore. A tiger is successful in one of twenty hunting attempts. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 40,000 tigers in India, while there were less than 2,000 tigers by 1972. I particularly liked the scenes of the tigress standing majestically on top of the wall ruins at Ranthambhor and of the tigress affectionately licking her cub. There are also many close-up scenes of monkeys, sambar, spotted deer, birds, owls, flowers, streams, crocodiles, a water snake, insects, wild dogs, and wild cattle. Bellowing, hoarse "owoom" roaring is featured at the beginning, middle, and end of the documentary.
