This three-part series is an epic journey of discovery of the natural world along the Amur and its tributaries and of the rich wildlife and the native people inhabiting the Earth’s greatest remaining wilderness area – a surprising and exotic world shaped and perpetually reshaped by extreme forces of the atmosphere and one of the Earth’s most active tectonic zones.
The three episodes portray the unique characters of the Amur’s lower, middle and upper reaches – separate worlds that could not be more different and diverse.
It’s not just humans who mess up. The lion and the cheetah are the most graceful and deadly predators on Earth— but that doesn’t mean they always gets it right on the first go. See what happens when nature’s most powerful predators get it wrong.
Takes viewers into the center of five animal families - lions, jackals, cheetahs, hyenas and meerkats - as they raise their young in the wilderness. Innovative camera techniques are used to follow the animals' tender, emotional and often stressful stories from the moment their babies are born through different stages in their maturity.
This series studies an array of predatory models in each location, and then looks at why particular animals are able to lift themselves above the rest. Sometimes starvation drives predators to the extreme – as in Savute, where a particular lion pride unlocks the key to hunting elephants. Or vicious competition drives them to hyper-efficiency – as in Ndutu, where cheetahs team up to out-hunt hyena mega-clans… Or sometimes the chance to kill comes so rarely that when it does appear every effort is put into the killing blow – as at the Grumeti river, where massive crocodiles wait an entire year for one feast
