New Documentaries

Happy Groundhog Day!

(A holiday which originally was "Badger Day", brought to America by European immigrants, who, unable to find badgers in their new land - they were too far east - settled for a suitable substitute)

Just wanted to share trailers for two exciting new documentaries I found - hope to have reviews as soon as I see them!  Both deal with an iconic African species which is threatened with extinction.  One, the mountain gorillas featured in Virunga are some of the most well-studied endangered animals on earth, and their plight is understood by the world.  The other, the giraffes of Last of the Longnecks, are perhaps the most threatened because no one realizes that they are in danger.
