The narration is so cute, the magnificent photography, richness of details...

Wonderful documentaries, and certainty of the perfection of nature, how everything fits perfectly, like a puzzle, between hunters and prey, seasons, food, naturally balanced (when there is no human interference) everything millimetrically magnanimous... The narration is so cute, the magnificent photography, richness of details, enthralling, there could be more "stories" with the personified animals...
