Ape (Eyewitness Video) [VHS]
Each of the well-done Eyewitness Videos uses excellent graphics and documentary footage to give a crystal-clear picture of the natural world.Apecertainly has all that, but it is also a showcase for some of the cutest monkeys that you will ever see in your whole life.  From the tool-using chimpanzee to the solitary orangutan to the bizarre lemur, this video is a slice of life of our closest cousins in the animal kingdom.  A sample fact: man and ape share 98.4 percent identical genetic material. Yes, it's scientific and informative and narrated by Martin Sheen, but it's also gosh darn adorable.Apealso includes a special bonus behind-the-scenes video.--Brendan J. LaSalle
