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.
