Fabulous! Though some were surely staged. Maybe. Interesting film and study in 1930, public taste for jungle footage. This genre is as previously stated Fabuloso.
Some close up shots, to me, were obviously shot in a studio. This is what documentaries were like back in the day. It's a crying shame that because of man's greed and lust for the almighty dollar, the once vast herds of elephants, rhinoceros, and many other native African species no longer exist and could not be filmed as they were here.
130° - in shade ! Giraffes ~ 18 ft. tall Impala capable of leaping ~ 40 feet ! Hoards of flying locusts literally blocking out the sun - dense clouds of the insects take flight 50 miles wide and 100 miles long. The lion in times past, had a range greatly exceeding what it now is currently believed to be. It's interesting but hardly surprising that the quadruped animal gets the disparaging label of 'killer' - while the killing biped animal is celebrated; he destroys not for food or survival, but for vanity and pleasure. Nothing separates one animal from another, save a construction of fantasy to disguise responsibility, and the cowardly pacification of fear, - through the ignorant destruction of his very own existence.
Exploiting Natives for 25 cents a day for back breaking labor. Slaughtering elephants for their tusks. A poor young tribesman killed to film lions. This was an interesting film to say the least but was sad just the same.
@@eileen1820 Your living in Africa still doesn't make his point any less valid. You don't need a clue to identify exploitation. 25 cents per day was exploitive, no matter what decade or continent.
@@eileen1820 Maybe Africa would have been better off without White intervention. Why don't you all leave and let us see? And, given that Whites have a history of exploiting low cost or free labor (EG: Slavery) his assumption isn't far from fact.
Great original footage . A lot of the old films and movies had respect for the Bible and it's content . Wicked men and women have tried to take America in a different direction !!!!!!!!!!!!!---Ernest E. Johnson
Wow. This is what I love about youtube
It's fabulous to this amount of game in one shot if only it were like this now, it shows you the affect of man on the animals of the world.
Fascinating! To think I slept in the villages of the descendants of these pygmies over 50 years later. I have subscribed.

I've lived in Africa. You haven't a clue.

@@RealGRRRLz69 his assertion doesn't make it true. Would you rather live as an African without evil WhytPeepo inventions and infrastructure?
