The Drakensberg Mountains are Southern Africa’s Alps, rising more than 11,000 feet into the sky. But beneath their shimmering beauty lies an incredibly hostile environment for the creatures that manage to live there. Each spring, drenching rains destroy the grasslands at the base of the mountains, and those who would survive must climb up sheer cliffs of volcanic rock, through gauntlets of storms and snow, to reach the carpets of new grass on the plateau. The baboons that make their home halfway up the heights may have the advantage of agility, but eland, the world’s largest antelope, have long, spindly legs and heavy bodies, which make their climb to the top all but unbelievable. All have babies at their sides. And the vultures circle overhead. Buy the DVD. This film premiered February 8, 2009.
Amazing place..
I love Nature, thanks PBS..
The Drakensberg is my favorite place on earth, the place my heart calls home. As a young child I spent numerous summers camping and hiking there with family and friends. I enjoyed seeing places in the video that I have actually been to. It has been ten long years since I have seen those beautiful mountains in person. Thanks PBS for this video. I can’t wait for my American-born children to watch it.
Great. Thanks PBS
