7. Born to Be Wild

Rank by sites 3, Rank by IMDb 6; Overall score = 9 points

Directed by David Lickley

Dr. Birute Mary Galdikas and Dr. Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick have dedicated their lives to rescuing orphaned elephants and orangutans. Orphans rarely survive on their own in the wild, but the people who work at Nairobi Nursery help them reach adulthood before releasing them into Tsavo National Park with a fighting chance. David Lickley’s film reveals how poachers in search of ivory affect wildlife in Africa by killing the mothers and leaving baby elephants to fend for themselves. With the Kenyan savanna as its backdrop and Morgan Freeman as its narrator, the movie deserves the 6th spot on our list of best animal documentaries on Netflix instant in 2015.
