Central America is the subject of the four-part Spirits of the Jaguar, which begins with Mayan creation myths about a battle between gods leading to the formation of the Earth. In fact, the islands of the Caribbean were forged by volcanoes 150 million years ago, with plant and animal life following some 70 million years later. Typical of the BBC Atlas of the Natural World series is Jaguar's extraordinary photography: frogs and insects suddenly caught in flowing tree sap, crocodiles leaping to pull prey from trees. The story of the Mayans—farmers, astronomers, inventors—moving from the deserts of Mexico down to the jungles of Central America, their lives sustained by slash-and-burn agriculture and good nutrition, is thoroughly covered. So is the tale of the lost civilization of the Aztecs, wanderers for ten generations, who viewed themselves as a chosen people, acted as extinguishers of other peoples in Mexico, and were themselves ultimately destroyed by Spanish conquistadors. --Tom Keogh

 No it is not just about Jaguars December 22, 2008
This is a beautifully filmed piece on three early Central American cultures, lovely photography, good information in an attractive format. If you have kids who love animals, get this! Great intro to regional history.

Misleading information, I bought this for the Jaguar title and picture and it is about Mayan Culture, not about jaguars at all. I am extremely disappointed. The information about mayan culture it is ok.
 NOT ABOUT JAGUARS February 3, 2007

THE TITLE AND COVER PHOTO ARE TERRIBLY MIS-LEADING. THIS DVD IS 3+ HOURS ABOUT INCA AND AZTEC AND PRIMITIVE PEOPLES AND THEIR HABITAT...WITH A MINUTE OR TWO OF JAGUAR FOOTAGE THROWN IN. LET ME SAY- ITS VERY IMFORMATIVE AND PROBABLY A GOOD CHOICE TO SHOW CHILDREN TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE AREA AND ITS HISTORY AND PEOPLES. BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE ANIMAL AT ALL. I ACTUALLY CONSIDERED GIVING THIS 1 STAR- AS I CONSIDER IT A COMPLETE MISREPRESENTATION OF THE PICTURE ON THE FRONT AND THE TITLE...BUT THE INFO AND THE OVERALL EDUCATION YOU GET ISNT THAT BAD.
