America's Wildest Places

The new video tour of wildlife refuges may not be the hottest DVD going, but it is a way for armchair explorers to see much of wild America.

From the wilderness of Alaska's Kenai peninsula to the deep tropical forests of the Caribbean, "America's Wildest Places" tours gems of the National Wildlife Refuge System, with footage of the scenery and wildlife, like this brown bear.

Also included are scenes of white whooping cranes in the Gulf Coast marshes of Arkansas, and the endangered red wolf in the trackless swamps of North Carolina's Pocosin Lakes.

The DVD can be ordered directly from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
