If you're like me and can't think of something good (or reasonable) to ask for on your birthday, ask for the Complete Planet Earth Series on DVD. Even if you don't find every facet of mother nature completely fascinating, some of the footage captured is mindblowing and it really opens your eyes to what exactly is out there on this crazy planet. Like axolotls. They're not featured, but I like them, so here's a picture:
The eleven disc series covers specific environments, ranging from pole to pole, such as mountains, deserts, shallow seas, and the great plains. The hardworking folk over at BBC have hidden under tarps in jungles and spent months with cockroaches in some caves to provide the people with gorgeous close up shots of never before caught on tape snow leopards to terrifying scenes of the vampire squid from hell. The fact that something like this underwater cave was molded by natural causes over many, many years is incredible. And have you ever seen this unworldly fungi? And besides, with Sir David Attenborough narrating, how can it not be good?
