I have recently watched another couple of documentaries that I enjoyed, and figured I would share them here.
The first is
Dolphins: The Wild Side, a programme that I believe first aired as an episode of Natural World on the BBC, before coming out a month later on National Geographic - it is the latter version I have found. It is probably the best documentary about cetaceans I have seen so far, even though it is exclusively about dolphins. A big part of why I like it so much is that, especially in the latter half of the episode, there is a big variety of dolphin species shown. As well as the regular suspects such as bottlenose (both common and Indo-Pacific) and Atlantic spotted dolphins and orca, there are also spinner, Pacific white-sided and dusky dolphins, pilot whales and Dall's porpoises. Perhaps the choicest species though are the pygmy killer whale and Northern right whale dolphin, both filmed underwater.
The other is a Wildlife on One episode I have just got around to watching - titled
Gremlins of the Night, it first aired in 1994. It is about nocturnal prosimians and tarsiers, and includes footage of some very choice species, including (in order of appearance) the aye-aye, spectral tarsier, Dian's tarsier, Bornean slow loris, grey slender loris and Demidoff's, Thomas's, thick-tailed greater, Moholi and, I think, Rondo dwarf galago (the latter is described as being a brand-new species, and the smallest of all the galagos). There are also some incidental films of interesting diurnal primates, including the sun-tailed guenon.
The episode can be watched here.
