    This is a fascinating documentary about the geology, ecology and biodiversity of Drakensberg in South Africa.

    The description of the video is copy-pasted below;

    "A dragon hatched from the volcanic furnaces of Gondwanaland. Ancient almost beyond comprehension, yet a living thing. And vast stretching across a subcontinent, it's spine arching above the clouds...

    No lucky dragon, this. Starvation testers beneath the shimmering green of its skin. But to the creatures that live along its flanks, it can be a bountiful provider as well as a remorseless destroyer. Today we call it Drakensberg or Dragon Mountain. Drakensberg is a dynamic documentary journey through the life of this ever-astonishing mountain. It is also a story of animal survival in a landscape of overwhelming, pitiless power."
