The Red Deer Of Rhum
Saggy. Maxi, Rory, Clementine and Beauty are members of the best-known herd of red deer in the world. This film follows them through a year of struggle for survival in the natural open-air laboratory of a Scottish island. For eight years the only human interference has been the constant observations of Fiona Guinness , who knows all 300 animals by sight, and a group of scientists led by Tim Clutton-Brock who are studying individual differences in the animals' behaviour - the raw material of natural selection.
