Guadalquivir: The great River - Go Wild

From the high snowed mountain tops of Cazorla to the sands of the National Park of Doñana, these places have set the scene for many great stories – and this is yet another.
The main character of this film is the fox – it can be carnivorous, vegetarian or a scavenger. It lives alone or with others, has the stealth of a cat and the slyness of a wolf. Furthermore, it has no respect for the rules of the field, a real survivor as well as the triumph of the natural economy. It meets all the requirements to be the main character of our trip along the great river.
Our fox is the sole survivor of a troop which had all been killed by a poisoned carcass. After witnessing its companions die, instinct told the fox it must leave, that its territory was not safe anymore.
Travelling with our fox, following the riverbanks heading south to a safer surrounding, we discover many more animals along the way: a golden eagle, king of the mountain, which considers foxes as part of its regular diet; the spider crab, camouflaged inside a flower, relentlessly hunting insects; rats, frogs and even the genet, having been introduced from Northern Africa to Europe, are lining the way.
The river is rich with dragonflies and poses many mysteries: sturgeons, prehistoric giants, used to live in it – and suddenly disappeared. A similar fate could await the Spanish toothcarp, which is already under high risk of becoming extinct.
The Doñana salt marshes are alive with birds. Flamingos gather in vast numbers, and amid them black terns feed their chicks, while glossy ibises, purple swamphens, black-winged stilts and spoonbills also fill this magical space. Close to the salt marsh, hiding in the surrounding vegetation, is the most endangered feline in the world – and the fox’s worst enemy: the Iberian lynx.
Together with the fox we will embark on a journey from the snow-covered summits of Cazorla to the seashore, where the Guadalquivir flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

Basically the people who made this documentary, knew that the foxes were going to be poisoned and they did nothing.

Sorry, in India we have known for several millennia that the earth was round. No one took us seriously as they believed that the earth was NOT round! Wake up Western world. That does not diminish that fact that your documentary is excellent.

Best nature documentary of all that have watched. Must say it's amazing ❤

This is one of the most beautiful wildlife stories I've watched. Seems like I am watching a Disney movie about an adventure of a fox in search of her forever home.

So great film! Not just telling you about what is what, but taking you along for a journey with this beautiful smart animal whilst introducing the viewer to the amazing beauty of the region... something to know and to cherish, care about.. learn from.. I hope this movie will maybe help so the foxes are treated better. So many people hate them, despise them for rummaging the cities, going through the bins... But I always say "Hey, it was not their choice to demolish their natural habitat. They are so amazing- they*ve learned how to co-exist with us* Respect. Will research now if there are some tours to this beautiful place ..and i hope so much, that people will stop killing, poisoning animals for no reason..
