Majestic animals we deem beautiful are well documented. Their stories are celebrated while we appropriate their regality, elegance and grace to adorn our company logos, be our sporting mascots and represent our families on crests. Then there's the other animals, the aesthetic outsiders we don't consider cute or cuddly. The critters we tend to laugh at or revile simply because they don't fit into what we deem as beautiful. The animals selected by natural selection to be beaten with the ugly stick. This is the time for the World's Weirdest Animal Faces to shine! A celebration of respectable irreverence, revealing the extraordinarily weird features these creatures possess.

Wild Hunters is a gripping documentary series on the life and death drama of nature’s greatest predators: bears, felines, canines, snakes, reptiles, raptors, spiders… A comprehensive and spectacular 4K documentary series that shows the struggle for survival of the different species within animal families around the world: the mating of the lynx in the northern regions and the lion of Kenya; the breeding process of the Australian Morelia Viridis and the nesting of the king cobra in India; the social behavior of the wild dogs of Namibia and the Iberian wolves. Hunters beyond the hunt.
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
This is the NatGeo version of "Africa's Predator Zones"
