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

[vavilovasvetlana]

For the time I saw several fabulous natural landscapes.Thanks your channel for the pleasant pleasure that I recceived.

[satterlybutte]

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.

[Rubiastraify]

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.’

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.

[gerritvonuberwald]

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.

[emmahardesty]

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

[anikajain]

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

[jamielandis]

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

"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.

[mizzougrad]

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

[thickstck]

Because of the wind the world has what 😂

[Fister-kwun]

Russian disinformation? Please let us know if this has any, public media will let us know 😊

[Michael-jwi]

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.
