A visually stunning, intellectually rigorous nature documentary that finds drama and meaning in predator-prey dynamics without sensationalizing violence.

This major landmark series looks in detail at the fascinating relationship between predators and their prey. Rather than concentrating on ‘the blood and guts’ of predation, the series looks in unprecedented detail at the strategies predators use to catch their food and prey use to escape death. Sir David Attenborough narrates.
