Holiday Giveaway: Arctic Exposure With Nigel Marven
November 10, 2008 by Caryn
*Update*
This giveaway is now closed. Thank you so much for stopping by. The winners are Kathy Pease, Kevin Elliott, Jeffrey W., Augrim, and Lisa L. Congratulations!
One of the things Jason and I love to do is curl up on the couch with a good movie. This holiday season grab a loved one and something warm to drink while you prepare for a snow-day adventure unlike any other. From Genius Products and Animal Planet comes Arctic Exposure With Nigel Marven, set to debut on DVD November 25, 2008. The series originally aired on Animal Planet in 2007. My dad and I used to love watching real-life documentaries of animals and this is a great way to expose to children to varying wildlife.
Here is a little preview of the newly released title:
Join famed zoologist Nigel Marven on a nine month adventure exploring the wildlife and surrounding area of the Canadian Arctic on an expedition that takes him from the icy wasteland of the far north, across near-endless tundra to the vast boreal forest in the south. The series takes viewers along for the adventure as Nigel follows the fortunes of the indigenous animals – including polar bear cubs, walruses and an Arctic wolf – that call the extreme conditions of this unique territory home.
This five-part series includes a “Behind-the-Scenes” featurette, and will retail for $39.92.

Yay! We love Animal Planet at my house! My kids would adore that video!
I played the “Guess the Dog Breed Game.” How fun! I got them all right!! I don’t know if it was just easy, or if I’m more knowledeable than I think!

I learned that “The female scorpion keeps her eggs inside her body until they are ready to hatch. When they do, they look very much like tiny versions of their parents, except that they have pale, soft exoskeletons. The mother scorpion carries her babies on her back, caring for and defending them until after their first molt.” while browsing the baby animal guide.
WOW I checked out the Vanishing frog article and its amazing what all information they have on here! I also did a pet puzzle with my son Gabriel, this site is awesome!

I haven’t seen this…I learn so much just watching animal planet…I really like the one show where they answer questions about your pets!
Conservation biologists tend to think of amphibians as environmental “canaries in the coal mine.”
When an ecosystem begins to tip out of balance, amphibians are generally the first to be affected.
When frogs and salamanders begin to die en masse, it means that widescale ecological devastation may be under way.
More amphibian species are under threat than any single animal group, a wopping 1,811 species according to the IUCN.
This accounts for around 31 percent of all known amphibians. Habitat loss and pollution appear to be the major causes.
yea whale wars was cool
I got caught up in the ugly dog contest.
I looked at Whale Wars because I already watch it and it is teaching me that we must stop yhe slaughter of whales.
I learned the following about golden hamsters: (verbatim) “To adapt to life in the hot rocky desert, the golden hamster spends the daytime in underground burrows with many different rooms, including ones for nesting. Most live in family groups and young golden hamsters spend much of their time chasing and playing with their many brothers and sisters. ”
Thank you for this giveaway!
The Guess the Dog Breed Game is fun:)
I found out about the Polar Bears and the Ice melting where they live.

“Whale Wars
The female scorpion keeps her eggs inside her body until they are ready to hatch
I was looking at the baby reptile pictures with one of my daughters. She really likes the Komodo Dragon, a baby ‘alligator’ in her eyes. I like the little tidbits of information that was underneath each of the pictures. A good site. Thanks.
there is no such thing as a bad dog
I looked at the Endangered Species Guide. I did not know there were that many endangered species. Some of the species I looked at include the green sea turtle, Asian elephant, Panamanian golden frog, and Ivory-billed woodpecker. It is sad to think that a lot of species are endangered because of us.

My daughter and I loved the section on Butterflys. I didn’t know there were so many different kinds of them. The question mark ones we thought were really neat. Thanks for the great giveaway. I know my daughter would love this DVD. Thanks for the great giveaway.

I love the imaginary and prehistoric beasts under the ‘wild animals’ tab.

The games are fun.
Animal Planet has always been one of my favorite channels. I really liked the show Emergency Room Vets.
I didn’t realize they had games on there to play.
I’m going to show my son “Wild Animals A to Z” . He loves studying animals.
I like the Dog Directory..it gives information on all the breeds.
Bald eagles are capable of killing prey larger than they are.
My son loves animals and would love this

We love the Animal Planet and watch it often. One of our favorite shows is their Puppy Bowl. We love watching the puppies play.
We liked the information about Dog Proofing one’s home.
I found an article on the world’s ugliest dog on Animal Planet. It’s weird. I think it’s the spotted pattern that makes it so odd.

I learned that frightened wolf will try to make itself look small and inconspicuous by flattening its ears against its head and tucking its tail between its legs. I really love animal planet. I watch it all the time. Nigel is very entertaining and knows alot about animals
I read about the latest pyramid discovery in Egypt. It is 4,300 years old and the 118th pyramid to have been found by archaeologists. I didn’t realize there have been that many discovered in Egypt.
I found my dog has a horoscope of his own. Also Whale Wars look interesting.
As a Mom, I found it interesting that Giraffes babies drop about six feet to the ground when they’re born. I previously IMAGINED the mother giraffe would lie down to have the baby. Gosh, how wrong I was! Yet, despite that fall, the baby can usually walk around minutes after birth and nurse!
The relationship between people and dogs goes back at least 15,000 years, making dogs potentially the first animal to be domesticated

My favorite is Whale Wars.
There is so much interesting stuff at Animal Planet. I just about got lost in the Cat Owner’s Guide. Our female cat appears to “tweet” at birds when she watches them out the window, but I just learned that she’s actually exhibiting a typical behavior, clacking her teeth in a chatter of excitement.
My grandchildren love to watch the animals!Guess the dog breed game was fun for my GRANDkids.
There was an article about finding the right dog breed for you.
We watch animal planet. We learned to tell which snakes were dangerous and which ones are harmless.
I liked the How Stuff Works section.I always wondered
why Bats slept upside down.Interesting to know it
puts them in a good position to escape if they need
to and also hide from danger.I love Animal Planet
Did you know…dolphins can kick with 212 pounds of power? Wow!
