Season 1 · Episode 1
From the Eurasian lynx in Europe to the margay in South America, cats have one thing in common: they are deadly killing machines. True athletes of the hunt!
Despite their ancient appearance, reptiles are creatures full of surprises and sophistication. Much like dinosaurs, reptiles are hugely efficient hunters.
Large, venomous snakes are incredibly lethal. See how a single bite or suffocating embrace can lead to fast and deadly kills of some of the largest creatures on the planet.
Wolves are a supreme example of cooperative hunting, their efficiency based on hierarchy within a pack that demands loyalty.
Bears are among the most supreme predators on Earth. The turning of the seasons provokes profound changes in bears' bodies, allowing them to endure the harshest conditions.
From the depths of the oceans, to the clearest of high mountain rivers, the jaws of fish and their enemies open and close incessantly.
The true masters of the planet are arthropods: insects, spiders, and crustaceans. Discover how this diverse group of predators includes some of the most effective hunters on the planet.
It is possible that there are no better equipped hunters on earth than the arachnids. They are endlessly surprising creatures that together form a hugely diverse group of gifted predators replete with mysterious marvels, armed with amazing weapons, possessing almost inexplicable powers.
Owls are extreme hunters of the night. Discover how their discreet flight, dagger-like talons, and steely beaks make it easy for them to attack their prey in the depths of the darkness.
Few hunters in nature boast the power and majesty of birds of prey. Hunting defines the very quintessence of their bodies and their senses. No other hunters possess such powerful eyesight, such effective, merciless talons, nor can any animal on the planet compete for speed.
Among the wide variety of wild hunters on planet Earth, one group stands out for its opportunism, inventiveness and versatility. Genets, and their relatives the mustelids, like weasels and raccoons, are armed with disproportionate ferocity for such relatively small animals, capable of hunting in almost all terrestrial ecosystems.
Size does not determine ferocity in the wild. Often, the smaller the hunter, the more brave and ferocious. Witness some of the world's tiniest creatures devour each other without mercy.
Predators were designed to kill, but that doesn't mean their lives are free from uncertainty and challenges. Explore the constant struggle for balance between nature's hunters and their prey.
Discover the remarkable ways animals of all shapes and sizes are adapting to make the most of opportunities in the newest and fastest changing habitat on the planet - our cities.
