Kopje: A Rock for All Seasons (14x9)

: 16, 1980

A study of the huge outcroppings of bedrock, the Kopjes, which protrude like rocky islands amidst an ocean of grass in the heart of Africa's vast Serengeti Plain. Looks at how they provide shelter, shade and a source of water for an incredible array of plant and animal life and how quickly seasonal changes dramatically alter the kopje.
