A Vida dos Leopardos

That would be wonderful nature documentary except those stupid songs when mama leopard listen to a pop song while finishing hunting. What a stupid idea. I been in the forest or nature but never heard Lady Gaga singing after blue bird finish his song. I wouldn't ever watch they documentary again.what the point. Some instrumental background music is ok. Call me old fashioned but watching this documentary break up with song singing by someone is my how people who love nature spending they time. I would not recommend this documentary to real nature lover. Watching it is incredibly irritating l don't understand what they (producer) where trying to accomplish.

Absolutely loved this program. The dedication of these people is incredible. The photography was amazing, have never seen anything like it before. The only negative aspect was sometimes the accompanying music was a bit overwhelming and though I understand the purpose it actually took away from the commentary at times.

Otherwise this type of programming is just so wonderful and inspiring. Really makes you appreciate all living beings and the hope that one day everyone will feel like these people and become mindful of their daily activities to minimize the impacts that wildlife is subject to daily.

As "Living With Leopards" (2024 release from the UK; 71 min.) opens, we are in the "Okavango Delta, Botswana", and Brad is following and filming a female leopard named Mothuma. The leopard freefalls from 40 feet high into a tree onto an unsuspecting prey. Why would she take such a risk? Soon we understand as she has 2 cubs to feed and protect, "unknown to the world for the initial 3 months". At this point we are 10 minutes into the movie.

Couple of comments: this is the latest from award nominated British director Alex Parkinson ("Last Breath"). Here, he brings the tale of a group of photographers in Botswana who are following the trace of one leopard family. They spend wees, months, years to capture the incredible footage that this documentary contains (it was filmed over a period of 2 1/2 years). And when I say "incredible footage", I mean this documentary brings to the screen various scenes that I never imagined could be caught on tape. Then again, think of it this way: it took the film makers 30 months to capture this on tape, and we are seeing this distilled into 71 minutes... Kudos also the the top-notch original score for this documentary.

"Living With Leopards" recently started streaming on Netflix, and I caught it last night. So glad I did. If you are in the mood for a top quality nature documentary, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

Seriously, I love animal docs especially David Attenborough etc. Now I have this giant 99lb rescue mutt that loves them too. However, I cannot imagine how production and the crew feels while having to let nature take its course etc. Many times during docs like this I have to fast forward through the deaths- not predatory deaths but others. I am so proud of the crews that follow these animals and teach us so much. I have learned so much from you all and I don't think k you get e tough credit. I know it hurts your hearts to have to just leave it to nature. Sadly, that is natural. Thank you all for giving your time to film docs like this. It means the world to me.xoxo.

I am writing this review to hopefully give some appreciation to everyone involved in this project. It was a great honour to get a glimpse of leopards' lives.

Following this family was fascinating experience. I wished it could be a longer, or at least 2 part series given the crew spend months following this family.

The quality of the footage really surprised me, lovely narration with sentimental notes. The combination give a feeling of being a part of something special. Breath-taking African sunsets.

Now I wonder how the cubs are doing out there on their own. If they started their family, if they ever met again.
