These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:12,700 From the iconic big cats that enthrall us... 2 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,233 To the little-known small cats 3 00:00:21,266 --> 00:00:24,266 that are just coming into the light... 4 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,700 this is a remarkable family of predators. 5 00:00:31,366 --> 00:00:37,166 They are super athletes... 6 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,033 Super hunters... 7 00:00:42,066 --> 00:00:47,833 Possessing super senses. 8 00:00:47,866 --> 00:00:52,400 Now, groundbreaking filming techniques 9 00:00:52,433 --> 00:00:58,000 and a surge in scientific research 10 00:00:58,033 --> 00:01:02,200 are revealing new facets of this amazing 11 00:01:02,233 --> 00:01:04,500 super family. 12 00:01:35,066 --> 00:01:37,766 Dawn in the Namibian desert. 13 00:01:57,033 --> 00:01:59,433 Cheetahs are one of the few cats 14 00:01:59,466 --> 00:02:03,800 to form long-term coalitions with their siblings. 15 00:02:12,133 --> 00:02:15,400 For males, the relationship might be life-long. 16 00:02:17,466 --> 00:02:20,133 They'll do everything together... 17 00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:24,900 even hunt. 18 00:02:35,566 --> 00:02:40,633 Few cats can resist a chase... 19 00:02:40,666 --> 00:02:44,900 but none give chase quite like a cheetah. 20 00:03:12,433 --> 00:03:14,566 The latest science tells us 21 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,100 cheetahs rarely reach their record top speed. 22 00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:22,333 So, if cheetahs don't rely simply on being fast, 23 00:03:22,366 --> 00:03:24,433 how do they catch their prey? 24 00:03:24,466 --> 00:03:28,133 It's a question that requires a new perspective. 25 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,800 This high-speed buggy is mounted with 26 00:03:33,833 --> 00:03:37,866 a stabilized slow-motion camera 27 00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,400 to give us the prey's-eye view. 28 00:04:02,266 --> 00:04:05,366 Their sprinting prowess is unrivaled. 29 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,833 But this new approach reveals that there's far more 30 00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:30,466 to cheetahs than just straight line speed. 31 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:34,366 Cheetahs must not only keep up with their targets, 32 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,400 but react to every twist and turn. 33 00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:50,700 Their blunt claws are running cleats that provide traction. 34 00:04:57,233 --> 00:04:59,500 Even at 50 miles an hour, 35 00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:04,200 the grip allows them to change direction, instantly... 36 00:05:06,866 --> 00:05:10,733 And their long tails whip around to keep them upright. 37 00:05:22,466 --> 00:05:24,333 They can also brake hard. 38 00:05:30,966 --> 00:05:34,333 Strong bones are shock absorbers, 39 00:05:34,366 --> 00:05:37,533 dissipating forces that could break a human leg. 40 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,333 Cheetahs are more than just sprinters outrunning prey 41 00:05:50,366 --> 00:05:54,000 on open plains... 42 00:05:54,033 --> 00:05:56,333 They're agile... 43 00:05:56,366 --> 00:06:00,600 and maneuverable. 44 00:06:00,633 --> 00:06:03,066 They're elite athletes. 45 00:06:14,933 --> 00:06:20,433 And where that really counts 46 00:06:20,466 --> 00:06:22,466 is here, in woodland. 47 00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:34,800 This is an obstacle course 48 00:06:34,833 --> 00:06:39,300 where the prey's best chance is to weave and turn to escape. 49 00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:49,800 So a cheetah can rarely hit top speed. 50 00:07:02,233 --> 00:07:06,433 This chase is not a race... 51 00:07:06,466 --> 00:07:08,400 It's a dance. 52 00:07:11,766 --> 00:07:13,666 The prey leads... 53 00:07:18,266 --> 00:07:20,500 and the predator must follow. 54 00:07:55,433 --> 00:08:00,433 Cheetahs are the fastest animals on land, 55 00:08:00,466 --> 00:08:02,600 incredible sprinters, 56 00:08:02,633 --> 00:08:04,466 but so much more. 57 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,733 Even now, iconic cats like cheetahs can still surprise us. 58 00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,966 And there are other members of this extraordinary family 59 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,700 about which we know even less. 60 00:08:26,866 --> 00:08:29,433 Hiding in this Sri Lankan jungle 61 00:08:29,466 --> 00:08:32,833 is a cat so rare, few have ever seen it. 62 00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:41,200 Exploring the world beyond his den for the first time 63 00:08:41,233 --> 00:08:43,333 is a miniature predator. 64 00:08:57,266 --> 00:09:02,600 The smallest feline in the world... 65 00:09:02,633 --> 00:09:04,766 A rusty spotted cat. 66 00:09:10,066 --> 00:09:12,300 He may look like a kitten -- 67 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:18,933 He'd still fit in the palm of your hand. 68 00:09:18,966 --> 00:09:23,266 But this little male is nearly full grown. 69 00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:28,266 He'll soon be setting off on a solitary life, 70 00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:30,833 fending entirely for himself. 71 00:09:37,466 --> 00:09:41,200 What he lacks in size, 72 00:09:41,233 --> 00:09:44,033 he makes up for in daring. 73 00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:03,366 Young cats are born curious -- 74 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,366 it's how they learn about their world... 75 00:10:11,033 --> 00:10:14,900 Even if it can get them into trouble. 76 00:10:18,066 --> 00:10:22,600 Right away, he puts his super senses through their paces. 77 00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:38,033 His eyes are six times more powerful than our own 78 00:10:38,066 --> 00:10:40,833 and sensitive to the slightest movement. 79 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:50,300 His whiskers, rooted in a bed of nerves, 80 00:10:50,333 --> 00:10:54,433 detect the faintest touch or the gentlest breath of wind. 81 00:10:56,566 --> 00:10:59,266 His hearing is better than ours too... 82 00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:02,066 tuned to sounds that are completely imperceptible 83 00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:03,500 to the human ear. 84 00:11:07,633 --> 00:11:10,833 And his sense of smell is capable of distinguishing 85 00:11:10,866 --> 00:11:13,966 between a billion different odors. 86 00:11:22,033 --> 00:11:25,300 This little cat is alert to every change 87 00:11:25,333 --> 00:11:26,833 in his surroundings... 88 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,300 But now it's time to learn which sounds... 89 00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,033 or sights... 90 00:11:41,066 --> 00:11:42,733 signal danger. 91 00:11:57,366 --> 00:11:59,666 Every step of today's adventure 92 00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:03,366 has been stored away in his memory. 93 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,866 He's building a 3-D map of the jungle in his head... 94 00:12:11,666 --> 00:12:15,766 so he can find his way home in a flash. 95 00:12:22,466 --> 00:12:26,900 All cats, from the smallest to the biggest, 96 00:12:26,933 --> 00:12:29,566 share extraordinary skills and abilities 97 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,566 that have allowed them to conquer all four corners 98 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,033 of the globe. 99 00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:42,333 Siberian tigers prowl frozen forests. 100 00:12:45,233 --> 00:12:50,033 They are 200 times bigger than a rusty spotted cat... 101 00:12:50,066 --> 00:12:52,733 but just as elusive. 102 00:13:02,233 --> 00:13:06,266 In Brazil's Pantanal, the world's largest wetland, 103 00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:10,966 jaguars are on the hunt for monsters. 104 00:13:25,966 --> 00:13:27,433 For their size, 105 00:13:27,466 --> 00:13:30,033 they have the strongest bite of any cat... 106 00:13:32,733 --> 00:13:37,333 even making short work of huge caiman crocodiles. 107 00:13:44,366 --> 00:13:47,866 The jungle canopy of South and Central America 108 00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:51,466 is the realm of the tree climbing margay. 109 00:13:57,066 --> 00:13:59,800 They can judge distances perfectly... 110 00:14:03,533 --> 00:14:07,166 A critical skill if you're to clear a gap of 12 feet 111 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,066 with a single leap, high above the forest floor. 112 00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:23,433 And when it's time to descend, 113 00:14:23,466 --> 00:14:27,033 their ankles rotate 180 degrees 114 00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:30,133 so they can walk vertically down. 115 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,833 Whether it's hunting in the swamps of Asia... 116 00:14:45,233 --> 00:14:48,466 or patrolling the oldest desert in Africa... 117 00:14:57,133 --> 00:14:59,866 cats thrive everywhere. 118 00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:23,233 They've even conquered the highest mountains on Earth: 119 00:15:23,266 --> 00:15:25,033 the Himalayas. 120 00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:34,966 It's a place where food is scarce... 121 00:15:39,433 --> 00:15:43,866 So, to survive, you need a huge territory. 122 00:16:01,866 --> 00:16:06,366 This vast wilderness of sheer cliffs and bare rock 123 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800 is home to the snow leopard... 124 00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:16,200 the world's highest, and just maybe 125 00:16:16,233 --> 00:16:18,033 most lonesome cat. 126 00:16:27,233 --> 00:16:31,000 This aging male is searching... 127 00:16:37,966 --> 00:16:40,033 but not for food... 128 00:16:44,133 --> 00:16:46,000 He's looking for a mate. 129 00:17:05,766 --> 00:17:08,599 The task would be nearly impossible 130 00:17:08,633 --> 00:17:11,033 if it wasn't for a cat's unique ability 131 00:17:11,066 --> 00:17:13,833 for long distance romance. 132 00:17:19,666 --> 00:17:22,266 His long-lasting and pungent spray 133 00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,599 carries his dating profile. 134 00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:31,766 "Male, single, would like to meet." 135 00:17:41,633 --> 00:17:44,600 Both males and females spray, 136 00:17:44,633 --> 00:17:47,600 posting their romantic status 137 00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:50,000 to any and every one that passes by. 138 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,000 So he diligently patrols these paths every day 139 00:17:59,033 --> 00:18:02,233 in the hope that a potential mate has passed through. 140 00:18:10,333 --> 00:18:15,066 At his most eager, he'll scent mark 20 times an hour. 141 00:18:28,833 --> 00:18:33,966 It may take a week or more to cover his entire territory, 142 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,966 but his search must go on, day after day, 143 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,466 in spite of the Himalayan weather. 144 00:19:12,633 --> 00:19:14,933 He checks for scent... 145 00:19:14,966 --> 00:19:16,833 then leaves his own. 146 00:19:29,733 --> 00:19:33,200 Here, he discovers a female has left her mark. 147 00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,400 Rubbing his own scent over hers, 148 00:19:40,433 --> 00:19:42,500 he declares his interest. 149 00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:12,333 This male might just have one last chance to mate. 150 00:20:24,866 --> 00:20:27,166 Could this be it? 151 00:20:32,633 --> 00:20:37,033 On the wind, the call of a distant female. 152 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:17,333 Just maybe this male's search is over. 153 00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:52,266 For male cats, life is a lonely existence... 154 00:21:58,133 --> 00:22:01,733 But for females, it's very different. 155 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,366 This is Honey... 156 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,800 a female African leopard -- 157 00:22:35,833 --> 00:22:39,500 and a mother. 158 00:22:39,533 --> 00:22:43,100 A radio collar is giving researchers an insight into 159 00:22:43,133 --> 00:22:48,433 the life of the most elusive of Africa's big cats. 160 00:23:10,133 --> 00:23:16,133 Leopards thrive in more environments than any other cat, 161 00:23:16,166 --> 00:23:19,166 but that doesn't mean their lives are easy. 162 00:23:22,233 --> 00:23:24,033 At 10 years old, 163 00:23:24,066 --> 00:23:28,233 Honey has outlived her brothers and sisters. 164 00:23:28,266 --> 00:23:31,366 Somehow, she's survived a broken leg, 165 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,933 and now, during the worst drought in decades, 166 00:23:34,966 --> 00:23:37,200 she's hunting for two. 167 00:23:41,933 --> 00:23:45,566 For mother cats, childcare is a balancing act 168 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,600 between protection and provision. 169 00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,766 If they're to hunt successfully, 170 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,700 a leopard must do so alone. 171 00:24:00,733 --> 00:24:03,933 So she's left her young cub behind. 172 00:24:13,966 --> 00:24:15,766 A tail twitch -- 173 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,500 Honey is on to something. 174 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,266 The drought has withered all vegetation, 175 00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:44,200 so there's little cover. 176 00:24:44,233 --> 00:24:48,100 She needs to get close -- within 12 feet -- 177 00:24:48,133 --> 00:24:50,800 to stand any chance of success... 178 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,066 And anything could give the game away. 179 00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:34,566 Foiled by Africa's most annoying alarm call. 180 00:25:42,733 --> 00:25:44,933 She might be empty-handed, 181 00:25:44,966 --> 00:25:48,100 but it's time to get back to her cub. 182 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,833 It's been 36 hours since she left... 183 00:26:03,666 --> 00:26:07,000 and young cubs are prone to wander. 184 00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:34,066 Her calls are unanswered. 185 00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:49,066 Half of all leopard cubs don't survive their first year. 186 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,400 A cub's best chance 187 00:26:52,433 --> 00:26:55,966 is to stay hidden until she's sure it's safe. 188 00:27:12,566 --> 00:27:17,833 Honey's youngster already has a leopard's knack for stealth. 189 00:27:17,866 --> 00:27:20,466 She can even give her mother a surprise. 190 00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,500 For the last six months, 191 00:27:59,533 --> 00:28:03,066 she's grown strong on milk. 192 00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:07,066 But now she's developing a cat's appetite for meat. 193 00:28:30,033 --> 00:28:34,566 A mother leopard always has a backup plan. 194 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,900 Honey has stashed a kill 195 00:28:36,933 --> 00:28:39,500 safely out of the reach of thieves. 196 00:29:14,066 --> 00:29:17,433 For her cub, this is an important lesson -- 197 00:29:17,466 --> 00:29:19,766 and the first of many. 198 00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:33,600 Across the cat family, kittens and cubs have a long infancy. 199 00:29:36,033 --> 00:29:38,766 It takes time to learn the skills needed 200 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,466 to hunt for themselves. 201 00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:58,400 Often brothers and sisters are on hand for training. 202 00:30:20,466 --> 00:30:23,466 Play is the key to honing coordination... 203 00:30:25,933 --> 00:30:27,766 Building strength... 204 00:30:32,066 --> 00:30:34,233 And agility. 205 00:30:44,233 --> 00:30:47,933 The bond between them might endure for years, 206 00:30:47,966 --> 00:30:50,500 probably the closest relationship they'll ever have 207 00:30:50,533 --> 00:30:52,133 with another cat... 208 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,300 But there is one life skill which they must master alone... 209 00:31:08,266 --> 00:31:10,266 The surprise attack. 210 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,233 Patagonia. 211 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,466 An unforgiving wilderness 212 00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,333 where South America ends 213 00:31:49,366 --> 00:31:51,900 and the Antarctic begins. 214 00:32:15,533 --> 00:32:18,500 It's home to a secretive cat 215 00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:20,533 that can only survive here 216 00:32:20,566 --> 00:32:23,333 thanks to an eye for opportunity. 217 00:32:36,766 --> 00:32:40,766 Puma, the most southerly cat. 218 00:32:54,066 --> 00:32:58,800 Once a year, these Magellanic penguins come ashore to nest... 219 00:33:04,033 --> 00:33:06,566 a lifeline for a hungry cat. 220 00:34:18,033 --> 00:34:22,166 This may seem ruthless, even callous, 221 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,633 but pumas must take what's here today 222 00:34:25,666 --> 00:34:28,100 in case tomorrow it's gone. 223 00:34:32,566 --> 00:34:37,133 This is what it takes to survive in Patagonia. 224 00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:15,633 As night falls, 225 00:35:15,666 --> 00:35:17,866 more cats arrive. 226 00:35:23,866 --> 00:35:26,533 It's an extraordinary moment. 227 00:35:29,266 --> 00:35:30,833 The abundance of prey 228 00:35:30,866 --> 00:35:33,933 means territorial boundaries are ignored, 229 00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:38,466 and, for now, these usually solitary creatures 230 00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:40,066 rub shoulders. 231 00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:48,800 It won't last. 232 00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:07,133 The nesting season is soon over, 233 00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:10,066 and the penguins return to the sea. 234 00:36:27,033 --> 00:36:29,666 The cats move on. 235 00:36:41,166 --> 00:36:43,633 Thanks to their adaptability, 236 00:36:43,666 --> 00:36:47,500 they are the most widespread mammal in the Americas. 237 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:01,600 At the other end of the continent, 238 00:37:01,633 --> 00:37:04,133 the planet's most northerly cats 239 00:37:04,166 --> 00:37:06,400 have chosen a very different path... 240 00:37:08,433 --> 00:37:10,733 In a wintry wonderland 241 00:37:10,766 --> 00:37:15,466 with a record low of minus 80 degrees. 242 00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:19,433 The Yukon is the coldest place in North America. 243 00:37:26,533 --> 00:37:28,800 This is Big Foot country. 244 00:37:31,433 --> 00:37:35,700 But these prints belong to a very unusual cat... 245 00:37:49,133 --> 00:37:51,766 a Canada lynx... 246 00:37:57,033 --> 00:38:00,000 One whose high tech accessories 247 00:38:00,033 --> 00:38:02,266 are at last letting us in on 248 00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,300 a life almost impossible to observe. 249 00:38:11,433 --> 00:38:16,700 This is L4 Zero, aka Kronk. 250 00:38:20,433 --> 00:38:22,566 Scientists and shaman agree, 251 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,500 lynx are the keepers of secrets. 252 00:38:31,633 --> 00:38:34,633 You could spend years looking for a lynx 253 00:38:34,666 --> 00:38:36,900 and never see more than a footprint. 254 00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,433 And even if you did catch a glimpse of one, 255 00:38:48,466 --> 00:38:50,766 it would soon give you the slip. 256 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,766 Until now. 257 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,433 Kronk's every move is tracked, 258 00:39:01,466 --> 00:39:04,866 offering insight into the world's ultimate game 259 00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:07,233 of cat and mouse -- 260 00:39:07,266 --> 00:39:09,666 or rather, cat and hare. 261 00:39:20,233 --> 00:39:22,500 Throughout these cold days, 262 00:39:22,533 --> 00:39:24,700 a lynx needs to eat often... 263 00:39:28,566 --> 00:39:32,033 And up here there's only one thing on the menu. 264 00:39:35,133 --> 00:39:38,866 Snowshoe hares. 265 00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:43,333 In fact, a lynx's very survival depends on them. 266 00:39:47,666 --> 00:39:50,266 Helpfully, there's plenty around. 267 00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:54,466 These hares breed like, well... 268 00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:56,366 rabbits. 269 00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:06,500 So it's just a matter of spotting one. 270 00:40:16,966 --> 00:40:19,633 Although Kronk seems to be oblivious, 271 00:40:19,666 --> 00:40:23,666 cats' eyes are fine-tuned for detecting movement... 272 00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:26,800 so his is a game of patience. 273 00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:10,933 To survive in these freezing conditions, 274 00:41:10,966 --> 00:41:14,233 Kronk must catch at least a hare every day... 275 00:41:17,333 --> 00:41:20,500 and use as little energy as possible doing it. 276 00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:36,733 If he can avoid a chase, he will. 277 00:42:11,066 --> 00:42:15,766 No cat is looking to make life any harder than it has to be. 278 00:42:17,433 --> 00:42:22,633 For most cats, survival is a solitary endeavor... 279 00:42:22,666 --> 00:42:26,966 But there is one famous exception. 280 00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:33,666 Africa... 281 00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:36,300 Home to the King of Beasts. 282 00:43:05,866 --> 00:43:08,666 Lions may be legendary, 283 00:43:08,700 --> 00:43:11,800 but among cats they're strange. 284 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,733 That's because they're the only ones who live together, 285 00:43:18,766 --> 00:43:22,066 the only truly social cat. 286 00:43:25,866 --> 00:43:29,233 The pride is a family 287 00:43:29,266 --> 00:43:31,366 and an alliance. 288 00:44:12,966 --> 00:44:16,266 Ruaha National Park, Tanzania. 289 00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:21,633 Here they're famous for forming super prides -- 290 00:44:21,666 --> 00:44:26,666 huge groups can tackle the most formidable prey in Africa. 291 00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:34,666 In the dry season, lions come together to defend riverbeds... 292 00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:44,066 where they need only wait for thirsty prey to come to them. 293 00:44:52,133 --> 00:44:56,566 In numbers, lions find the strength and audacity 294 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,500 to face Africa's giants. 295 00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:13,600 But once they're discovered, 296 00:45:13,633 --> 00:45:15,833 their chance has gone. 297 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,200 It won't be long before another comes their way. 298 00:45:48,666 --> 00:45:51,933 This buffalo herd is hundreds strong. 299 00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:10,533 Each one weighs more than three lions combined. 300 00:46:26,566 --> 00:46:28,600 And they fight back. 301 00:46:40,633 --> 00:46:44,933 Lions suffer more injuries and fatalities from buffalo 302 00:46:44,966 --> 00:46:47,666 than from any other adversary. 303 00:47:18,466 --> 00:47:21,766 This female is nursing three cubs... 304 00:47:27,933 --> 00:47:32,066 And also a serious wound inflicted by a buffalo. 305 00:47:48,933 --> 00:47:52,866 A debilitating injury like this is not just painful... 306 00:47:56,533 --> 00:47:58,533 It's potentially life threatening 307 00:47:58,566 --> 00:48:00,966 for both her and her cubs. 308 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,266 They are all hungry. 309 00:49:11,233 --> 00:49:15,000 On her own, this is hopeless. 310 00:49:25,033 --> 00:49:26,966 But she's not alone... 311 00:49:29,433 --> 00:49:31,566 She's part of the pride. 312 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,866 No other cat can bring down a colossus like this. 313 00:51:01,900 --> 00:51:05,933 And now she will be able to feed her family 314 00:51:05,966 --> 00:51:08,100 and allow her wounds to heal. 315 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,433 Living in a pride sets lions apart. 316 00:51:17,933 --> 00:51:20,666 It's an extraordinary alliance, 317 00:51:20,700 --> 00:51:23,866 but it's not just about big game hunting... 318 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,300 This is an extended family that supports and protects 319 00:51:32,333 --> 00:51:34,166 every mother and her cubs. 320 00:51:38,466 --> 00:51:40,766 That makes lions, surely, 321 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:45,500 the most extraordinary members of a remarkable animal family. 322 00:51:50,433 --> 00:51:52,600 Next time... 323 00:51:52,633 --> 00:51:58,366 the most secretive cats with surprising lives. 324 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:03,966 Living in the world's most remote and unexpected places. 325 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,700 Discover how cats have conquered the planet. 326 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,966 -"Nature's" three-part series continues, 327 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,133 from the oldest desert in Africa 328 00:52:16,166 --> 00:52:19,266 to the highest mountain on Earth, 329 00:52:19,300 --> 00:52:24,066 cats are leading extraordinary lives. 330 00:52:24,100 --> 00:52:26,933 They are acrobats in the jungle... 331 00:52:26,966 --> 00:52:29,766 and opportunists on the beach... 332 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,733 big or small, cats have conquered the planet. 24964
