Thank you for the presentation. One note ... In Monument Valley in the Utah and Arizona area, the large, squared off formations are called buttes. The word in pronounced in rhyme with the first syllable of the word beautiful. Had you asked any local, they would have told you.

Marvelous documentary! Every section a gem. I've always loved the wind.

Wonderful scenic views and descriptions! BTW-..."butte" is pronounced "B-Yoot", not "But". Like in the famous court scene in My Cousin Vinny-..."the yoot..." (plural of youth)

I love knowing there are that many cheetahs in one place living undisturbed and unthreatened. My mother was a talented artist, and she painted a beautiful pair of cheetahs for me to go above an antique sofa in my living room. She combined cheetahs from two different photos, one sitting and one lying, placing them underneath acacia trees using landscape photographs taken by my father on a non hunting safari trip. It’s a truly striking painting, one that I treasure most. * ‘Butte’ is pronounced ‘byoot,’ not ‘but.’

I particulary appreciated the big, bulky cheetah, that leisurely devoured it's kill in a tree. Silly old me thought, that kind of behaviour was unique to leopards.

It was a cheater walking then a cheater hopping in to tree to get high ground they do do this but then it switched to a leopard feeding in the tree 🤷🏻

A fine tour, thank you. Little clarification: butte rhymes with flute or jute or cute or moot....

I can’t believe PBS didn’t catch that.

The cheetah was a leopard for a split second in the tree! Cheetah do not take kills up a tree or have rosettes! Other than that inaccuracy it's a good video.

@mynamedoesntmatter8652 5 ай бұрын

A cheetah doesn’t have the climbing skills of a leopard and their claws don’t retract. They’re not physically capable of taking an antelope up into a tree. They drag their kills into grassy areas for cover. Lightning fast covering ground with impressive speeds, they’re extraordinarily beautiful cats. But then all cats are extraordinarily beautiful, imo.

Love the video. But, butte is pronounced b-you-t.

Great images but very little accurate information, too much flowery description, too little fact.

Monument valley utah is filled with trailers, double wides, and derelict rvs. It's a tourist trap.

"Wind is an omnipotent force of nature". Seriously, who writes this crap? Omnipotent literally means "able to do anything". Ok, let's test the writer's supposition. I'll see if wind can turn my cat into a 1973 Volkswagen. No evidence yet. Still observing.

Also, water made most of the iconic landscapes. I’m with u this eats a fatty. I usually like their docs. Not this one..

@user-mf7mw5kg8u 6 ай бұрын

Sorry too say but this documentary is full of scientifically in accurate information. They showed a leopard and called it a cheetah, they highlighted the North Pole and called it the arctic circle, they implied that the aurora occurs only in the northern hempishere. You lose the authority of your credentials when such errors are made.

@mynamedoesntmatter8652 5 ай бұрын

Those were cheetahs. Why don’t you look them up and see for yourself. They showed cheetahs that live in the largest numbers of anywhere that cheetahs exist.

It’s PBS. They know what they’re talking about.
