DANGEROUS PREDATOR

VERSUS DANGEROUS PREY...

Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX

TWO IRRESISTIBLE FORCES
DESTINED TO CLASH.

THE ONLY GROUND RULES
ARE KILL...

OR BE KILLED.

EVOLUTION HAS LEVELED
THE PLAYING FIELD,

WITH EQUAL CHANCES AT SURVIVAL
ON BOTH SIDES.

HORNS AND HOOVES,

POTENT VENOM,

AND SUPERSIZED TEETH...

IT'S A MINEFIELD
OF DEADLY DEFENSES.

BUT SOMETIMES THE REWARD
IS WORTH THE RISK.

THE SAVANNA IS SET FOR
THE HUNGER GAMES...

THE AGE-OLD CONTEST BETWEEN
HUNTER AND HUNTED.

AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN,

THE LIONS--THE BIGGEST, BADDEST
CATS OF THEM ALL.

THEY MARCH INTO THIS BATTLE
AS ODDS-ON FAVORITES.

WITH THREE-INCH CANINES
AND NERVES OF STEEL,

AT FIRST GLANCE,
THEY MAY SEEM UNBEATABLE,

BUT EVEN THE LION WALKS
A PRECARIOUS LINE

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

ALTHOUGH RARELY WITNESSED,

VICIOUS COUNTERATTACKS
TAKE PLACE BEHIND THE SCENES.

[GROWLS]

[ROARS]

EVEN AMONG THEMSELVES,
THE COMPETITION IS FIERCE.

IN LION SOCIETY, THE MALE RULES
AND THE FEMALE PROVIDES.

THE LIONESS SUBMITS,

EVEN THOUGH SHE RISKED HER LIFE
TO BRING DOWN THIS MEAL.

[ROARING]

WORD ON THE PLAINS
IS THAT THE CAPE BUFFALO

IS THE MOST DANGEROUS BEAST
IN THE GAME.

AN ADULT BULL CAN WEIGH
UP TO 2,000 POUNDS.

WITH A HELMET OF HORNS
AND DEADLY, SHARP HOOVES,

THEY ARE PERFECTLY EQUIPPED

TO BE THE LION'S
GREATEST ADVERSARY.

THEY'RE BUILT TO KILL,
LIKE AN ARMY OF GLADIATORS.

TO THE LIONS,
IT'S FOOD ON THE HOOF,

BUT IT'S A LETHAL ATTRACTION.

THIS IS THE WIDOW-MAKER.

MANY CONSIDER HIM TO BE THE MOST
DANGEROUS BEAST ON THE SAVANNA.

HE'S A ROGUE BULL,
UNPREDICTABLE AND AGGRESSIVE.

BUT HE DOES HAVE ALLIES.

THE YELLOW-BILLED OXPECKER

IS ALSO KNOWN AS
THE GUARDIAN ANGEL.

SHE THRIVES OFF
UNWELCOME PARASITES,

AND IN RETURN, OFFERS AN EXTRA
PAIR OF EYES AND EARS.

BUFFALO HAVE STRENGTH, BUT THEY
HAVE WEAK HEARING AND EYESIGHT.

THEY RELY HEAVILY ON
THEIR BROAD NOSES.

THE MOIST BUMPS CAPTURE
AND STORE SCENTS,

WHICH FILTER VITAL INFORMATION
FROM HIS SURROUNDINGS,

EVEN ASSOCIATING
A PARTICULAR SMELL

WITH THE DIRECTION IT CAME FROM.

A NEAT TRICK WHEN THERE
ARE HUNGRY LIONS AROUND.

NONE OF THE OTHER CATS
WILL TAKE ON A BUFFALO,

BUT TO THE LIONS
THEY'RE IRRESISTIBLE.

MESMERIZED BY THE MOVING FEAST,

THE LIONESS IS LURED
INTO A DEADLY PURSUIT.

[BUFFALO BELLOWS]

[LION GROWLING]

WITHOUT BACKUP, A LONE LIONESS
IS NO MATCH

FOR THE ANGRIEST BEAST
ON THE SAVANNA.

SHE'S NOT THE FIRST LION
TO BE MAIMED BY A BUFFALO,

AND SHE WON'T BE THE LAST.

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH,

THE BUFFALO WORK AS A TEAM
AND DEFEND THEIR OWN.

BUT DESPITE SAFETY IN NUMBERS,

THERE'S A CHINK IN THEIR ARMOR--
ROUTINE.

LIKE MANY LARGE MAMMALS,
BUFFALO NEED TO DRINK REGULARLY,

AND THEIR DAILY PILGRIMAGE
TO WATER MAKES THEM PREDICTABLE.

OTHER BIG PLAYERS ARE
ON THE SAME JOURNEY.

THEY MAY WEIGH TEN TIMES
THAT OF A BUFFALO,

BUT THE ELEPHANTS HAVE NO BEEF
WITH THE WIDOW-MAKER.

HOT ON THE HEELS
OF THE BUFFALO TRAIL,

THE LIONS PURSUE
THEIR BUFFET OF BRAWN.

THE PRIDE MALE ENTERS THE ARENA.

HE'S ON A MISSION.

HE CAN SMELL BUFFALO,
AND HE'S HUNGRY.

[GROWLING]

[SNORTS]

OTHER CONTENDERS BEAT
A HASTY RETREAT.

BUT IT'S NOT SMALL FRY
ON HIS MENU TONIGHT.

ONE OF THE WIDOW-MAKER'S TEAM
HAS FALLEN.

THEY SAY THE WAY TO A MAN'S
HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH.

AND THE LIONESSES HAVE BROUGHT
DOWN A MEAL FIT FOR A KING.

[LOW GROWLING]

LIONS ARE SOCIAL,
AND THAT'S THE KEY.

THE ONLY WAY TO BRING DOWN
A BUFFALO

IS TO HUNT AS A TEAM
AND SHARE THE SPOILS.

IT'S THE DEADLIEST
DINNER OF ALL,

BUT IT'S WORTH THE RISK.

THERE'S ENOUGH MEAT HERE TO FUEL
THE LION PRIDE FOR A WEEK.

TEAMWORK IS CRITICAL
TO THEIR SUCCESS,

AND TO STAY IN THE GAME,
YOU NEED TO START YOUNG.

FROM AN EARLY AGE, THE CUBS
START TO HONE THEIR SKILLS

FOR THE FUTURE.

TO STALK AND HUNT AND CAPTURE

SEEMS DEEPLY ROOTED
IN THEIR DNA.

THIS LITTLE GAME OF TAG IS THE
STIRRING OF AN ANCIENT INSTINCT

THAT WILL PREPARE THE CUBS
FOR SURVIVAL.

HUNTING BUFFALO IS
NOT FOR AMATEURS.

IT'S A PRIVILEGE RESERVED FOR
THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN.

[ELEPHANT TRUMPETS]

IT'S HAPPY HOUR
FOR THE ELEPHANTS.

THEY CAN DRINK UP TO 50 GALLONS
OF WATER PER DAY.

AND IT'S TIME FOR
THEIR SUNDOWNER.

THE KING OF BEASTS AND
THE GIANTS OF THE PLAINS.

THE TWO HEAVYWEIGHTS
OF THE SAVANNA COME TOGETHER.

[TRUMPETING]

THE WATER HOLE IS
THEIR COMMON GROUND.

AND WHILE THEY REFUEL,
THERE'S A TENUOUS TRUCE.

BUT AS THEY SAY,
"ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET."

AND TO SOME THE SCENT OF A LION
IS A RED RAG TO A BULL.

[TRUMPETING]

[ROARING]

LIONS AND ELEPHANTS--

THE TWO HEAVYWEIGHTS
OF THE SAVANNA COME TOGETHER.

BUT THE ELEPHANTS
HAVE LOST BABIES

TO THIS LION PRIDE BEFORE,

AND THEY JOIN RANKS AGAINST
THE FLESH-EATERS.

[TRUMPETING]

[GROWLING]

THE LIONS NEED TO PICK
THEIR FIGHTS WISELY.

THERE'S NO ATTRACTION HERE.

IT'S A FULL-ON EVICTION.

[TRUMPETING]

THEIR ENEMIES WON'T HESITATE
TO KILL THEM

AT THE SLIGHTEST OPPORTUNITY.

[LOW BELLOWING]

RATHER THAN RISK INJURY,

THE LIONS DESERT
THEIR PRECIOUS KILL

AND SAVE THEIR FIGHT
FOR THE NEXT HUNT.

IT'S A BLOW TO THE EGO,
BUT SURVIVAL IS THE ENDGAME.

THE BUFFALO ARE NEARING
THEIR DESTINATION.

AND FOR NOW, THE LIONS ARE
OFF THEIR TAIL.

THEIR TRUSTED GUARDIANS HITCH
A RIDE ON THE GRAVY TRAIN.

THE TEMPERATURE IS
WELL INTO THE 100s,

AND THE BUFFALO PRESS ON
WITH BOVINE DETERMINATION.

THEY CAN ALMOST TASTE IT.

WATER!

IT'S A SOCIAL GATHERING.

TIME TO SLAKE THEIR THIRST

AND TAKE A LOAD OFF.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

KNOCKING BACK TEN GALLONS OF
WATER TAKES SOME TIME,

AND THERE'S NO RUSH WHEN
IT COMES TO REHYDRATION.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

LARGE HERBIVORES
HAVE A HARD TIME

CONTROLLING THEIR
BODY TEMPERATURE.

TAKING A MUD BATH HELPS THEM
TO COOL DOWN.

THIS MUD-PACKING FRENZY

IS NATURE'S ULTIMATE
SPA EXPERIENCE.

WEARING THIS MUDDY ARMOR
HAS OTHER BENEFITS, TOO.

WHEN IT DRIES, THE MUD FORMS
A PROTECTIVE LAYER

WHICH REPELS PARASITES
AND BITING FLIES.

[BELLOWING]

IT'S A WELCOME RELIEF TO FORTIFY
THEM FOR THE DANGERS AHEAD.

CLOAKED IN MUDDY ARMOR,
THE WIDOW-MAKER AND HIS HERD

RETREAT TO THE THICKETS
FOR THE NIGHT.

BUT THERE'S NO REST IN STORE.

THE LONG NIGHT AHEAD
BELONGS TO THE PREDATORS.

THE EVENING USHERS IN
THE REALM OF THE LION.

AS THE BUFFALO DISAPPEAR
INTO THE THICKETS,

THE LIONS ENTER THEIR ELEMENT.

THEY HAVE EXTRAORDINARY
NIGHT VISION

AND SEE EIGHT TIMES BETTER
THAN HUMANS IN THE DARK.

THEIR WHITE "EYELINER"
REFLECTS FAINT LIGHT

FROM THE STARS AND MOON,

MAXIMIZING THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT
THAT ENTERS THEIR EYES.

FOR THE BUFFALO, NIGHTFALL
BRINGS ON THE DANGER ZONE.

THEIR "EYES AND EARS"
HAVE GONE TO ROOST,

AND ALL THEY HAVE NOW IS
THEIR SENSE OF SMELL.

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

[GRUNTING, GROWLING]

THE WIDOW-MAKER!

HE'S ALMOST A TON OF MUSCLE.

THE LIONS HAVE PICKED
THE MOST DANGEROUS TARGET.

IT WILL TAKE THE WHOLE PRIDE
TO BRING HIM DOWN.

[SNARLING]

ATTACKING FROM BEHIND, THE LIONS
CAN AVOID HIS DEADLY HORNS

AND GET TO WORK,
TEARING AT HIS TENDONS.

[BELLOWING]

A DESPERATE BELLOW
CALLS IN HIS TROOPS.

THE BUFFALO ARE BACK
IN THE GAME.

[BELLOWS]

THE WIDOW-MAKER CALLED IN
HIS TROOPS,

AND THE LIONS BACKED DOWN.

BUT THE DAMAGE IS DONE.

THE LIONESSES DID A GOOD JOB
ON THOSE TENDONS.

THE MIGHTY BULL IS HAMSTRUNG.

[GROWLING]

HE HAS ONE DEFENSE LEFT.

HIS MASSIVE HORNS ARE
FUSED WITH BONE

AND FORM A 10-INCH-THICK,
BULLETPROOF HELMET.

IT'S A VALIANT ATTEMPT,

BUT IT'S GAME OVER.

[BELLOWING]

THE WIDOW-MAKER HAS FALLEN.

[BELLOWING]

[BELLOWING]

[GROWLING]

THE PRIDE MALE SEALS HIS FATE
WITH THE KISS OF DEATH.

[THUNDER]

THE NEW DAY SHEDS PERSPECTIVE
ON AN AGE-OLD SCENE.

BELLIES NEAR BURSTING,

THEIR HARD-WON MEAL WILL
SUSTAIN THE PRIDE

FOR AT LEAST FIVE DAYS.

THEIR DANGEROUS DINNER PAID OFF.

TAKING DOWN A BUFFALO
HAS RISKS ATTACHED,

BUT ON THE UPSIDE,
HUNTING ONLY ONCE A WEEK

MEANS DICING WITH DEATH
LESS OFTEN.

FOR THE KING OF BEASTS,

THIS LETHAL ATTRACTION IS
WORTH THE WAGER.

FROM THE HEAVYWEIGHTS
TO THE FEATHERWEIGHTS,

EACH CONTENDER IS SUITED UP
TO MEET THEIR MATCH.

AN ADULT MALE CHEETAH
WEIGHS ROUGHLY 120 POUNDS.

BUT HE GOES UP AGAINST PREY
FOUR TIMES HEAVIER!

HE'S THE SMALLEST
OF THE AFRICAN BIG CATS,

BUT WHEN IT COMES
TO FUNCTIONALITY,

THE CHEETAH EMERGES HEAD
AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST.

HIS LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME
IS DESIGNED FOR SPEED.

BUT HERE'S THE HOOK--

SUPERSIZED CLAWS ON THE INSIDE
OF HIS FRONT LEGS

LATCH ON TO PREY AT HIGH SPEED.

UNLIKE OTHER CATS,
HIS CLAWS DON'T RETRACT.

LIKE TRACK SHOES, THEY GIVE HIM
THE GRIP HE NEEDS

TO RUN AT 70 MILES PER HOUR.

AND HE'S ABOUT TO PUT THEM
TO GOOD USE.

[THUNDER]

THE FIRST THUNDERSTORMS
DECLARE OPEN SEASON

ON THE AFRICAN PLAINS.

THE STAKES HAVE JUST
BEEN RAISED.

HUNTING SEASON IS
A DANGEROUS TIME

FOR BOTH PREDATOR AND PREY.

WATER IS THE LIFEBLOOD
OF EVERY HABITAT,

AND WHEN THE RAINS ROLL IN,
ABUNDANCE FOLLOWS.

THE MIST RISES ON
THE GREAT MIGRATION.

ONE AND A HALF MILLION
WILDEBEEST ARE MAKING THEIR WAY

INTO THE CHEETAH'S DOMAIN.

THE FERTILE PLAINS SERVE UP
A BANQUET OF PREY

FOR THE FASTEST CAT
ON THE PLANET.

IT'S TIME TO LIMBER UP
FOR SOME FAST FOOD.

PRIMED FOR BATTLE,

HIS BLACK TEAR MARKS REDUCE
THE GLARE FROM THE SUN.

HE'S READY TO ENTER THE FRAY.

LIKE THE LIONS,
WHEN HUNTING LARGE PREY,

TEAMWORK IS EVERYTHING.

MALE CHEETAHS ARE SOCIAL,

AND BROTHERS BAND TOGETHER
TO FORM COALITIONS.

IT'S HANDY TO HAVE A WINGMAN

WHEN YOU'RE UP AGAINST
A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT

WITH THREE-FOOT DEADLY HORNS.

UNLIKE THE FLAWLESS DESIGN
OF THE CHEETAH,

THESE WILD BEASTS OF THE PLAINS

LOOK LIKE AN ASSEMBLY
OF SPARE PARTS.

THEIR FRONT END IS
AS STRONG AS AN OX,

THEIR MANE AND TAILS
BORROWED FROM A HORSE.

ONLY THEIR SLOPING HINDQUARTERS
RESEMBLE AN ANTELOPE.

[BLEATING]

THEY'RE NOISY, TOO.

ON CONSTANT ALERT,
THEY BLEAT LIKE GOATS.

BUT THE WILDEBEEST SHOULDN'T
BE UNDERESTIMATED.

THEIR SPINDLY LEGS CAN REACH
SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR

AND CAN KICK A DEADLY BLOW.

THE BROTHERS CAN OUTRUN THEM,

BUT THEY'RE SPRINTERS,
NOT STAYERS.

THEIR LIGHTNING SPEED IS THE
ENDGAME TO CAREFUL GROUNDWORK.

THEY MUST GET CLOSE ENOUGH
TO CLOSE THE DEAL

BEFORE THEY EXPLODE INTO ACTION.

[BELLOWING]

THIS ROUND GOES
TO THE WILDEBEEST.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHEETAH
CAN'T RISK INJURY,

AND THE WILDEBEEST
WILL COUNTERATTACK

WHEN HE OUTWEIGHS HIS ADVERSARY
FOUR TIMES.

MANAGING HIS HIGHLY TUNED ENGINE
IS CRITICAL.

DURING A HIGH-SPEED CHASE,

A CHEETAH'S TEMPERATURE
SKYROCKETS,

AND HIS HEART RATE CAN REACH
250 BEATS PER MINUTE.

HE'S NO QUITTER, BUT HE NEEDS
TO CATCH HIS BREATH.

IT'S TIME TO LICK THEIR WOUNDS
AND COOL THEIR ENGINES.

[BLEATING]

THE WILDEBEEST ARE ON THE MOVE,

AND THE BROTHERS
MUST GO FOR BROKE.

THEIR ENGINES RECHARGED, THEY'RE
READY FOR A NEW STRATEGY.

SPEED ISN'T THE ONLY TRICK
TO A SUCCESSFUL HUNT.

STEALTH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT.

SNEAKING UP ON
THE RIGHT-SIZED TARGET

COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

THE CHEETAHS ARE CLOSING IN
ON THE WILDEBEEST.

AND THIS TIME THEY'RE EXPLOITING
THE LUSH VEGETATION

AS THEIR SMOKESCREEN.

THEY DIG THEIR SPECIALIZED CLAWS

INTO THE HEELS OF
THE WILDEBEEST.

THEY'RE LIKE GRAPPLING HOOKS,
PINNING HER TO THE GROUND.

[GROWLING, BELLOWING]

THE BROTHERS LIVE UP
TO THEIR 50% STRIKE RATE.

HALF THEIR HUNTS END IN SUCCESS,

THE OTHER HALF ARE
DANGEROUS LIFE LESSONS.

THEIRS IS A DELICATE BALANCE
BETWEEN RISK AND REWARD.

THE REED BED IS HOME TO ANOTHER
FEATHERWEIGHT PREDATOR

WHO LIKES TO PUNCH
ABOVE HIS WEIGHT.

AT ONLY FIVE POUNDS,
THIS FEISTY LITTLE CARNIVORE

MAY WEIGH 100 TIMES LESS,

BUT HE'S EVERY BIT AS FEARLESS
AS THE MIGHTY LION.

THERE ARE ROUGHLY 33 DIFFERENT
MONGOOSE SPECIES.

THEY'RE ALL AS CUTE AS PIE,

BUT DON'T LET THEIR LOOKS
FOOL YOU.

THESE GUYS EAT SNAKES
FOR BREAKFAST.

HIS HIGHLY SENSITIVE NOSE
CAN SNIFF OUT A MEAL

AS FAR AWAY AS TWO MILES.

BUT SOMETIMES THE HUNTER
BECOMES THE HUNTED.

A FEMALE BLACK MAMBA
LURKS IN THE SHADOWS.

SHE'S THE FASTEST, LONGEST AND
DEADLIEST SNAKE IN AFRICA--

NOT SOMEONE YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE
YOUR BREAKFAST WITH.

SHE FAVORS WARM-BLOODED PREY,

AND SMALL MAMMALS ARE HIGH UP
ON HER LIST OF FAVORITE FOODS.

UNLIKE OTHER SNAKES,

BLACK MAMBAS
DON'T WAIT IN AMBUSH

FOR THEIR MEAL
TO PASS THEIR WAY.

THEY ACTIVELY STALK THEIR PREY
AND HUNT THEM DOWN.

SHE FLICKERS HER TONGUE
TO TASTE THE AIR

AND COLLECT SCENT PARTICLES.

IT TASTES LIKE MONGOOSE
ON HER MENU.

TWO CAN PLAY AT THIS GAME.

UNLIKE HIS SNAKE-EATING COUSINS,

THE MARSH MONGOOSE PREFERS
LESS DANGEROUS PREY.

HE'D RATHER POACH AN EGG
THAN WRANGLE A SNAKE.

[GRUNTING]

HE THROWS HIS QUARRY
TO THE GROUND.

IT HELPS TO SOFTEN IT UP.

THE NEXT STAGE REQUIRES WATER.

HE SUBMERGES HIS CATCH
TO SUBDUE IT BY DROWNING.

BUT SOMETIMES PREY CAN
GIVE YOU THE SLIP.

HIS HIGHLY DEXTEROUS FINGERS
ARE DESIGNED

TO FEEL OUT CRABS AND FROGS
UNDERWATER.

HE CAN HOLD HIS BREATH
FOR UP TO 15 SECONDS,

AND HIS HORIZONTAL PUPILS
INCREASE LATERAL VISION

TO HELP HIM ZONE IN
ON HIS TARGET.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

BUT DANGER STILL LOOMS
AROUND EVERY CORNER.

BLACK MAMBAS HAVE
VERY FEW ENEMIES IN THE WILD,

BUT SHE'S ABOUT
TO MEET HER NEMESIS.

THE SLENDER MONGOOSE--
A NOTORIOUS SNAKE-KILLER.

THEY MAY LOOK LIKE
FEATHERWEIGHTS IN THE RING,

BUT THESE ARE TWO OF THE MOST
LETHAL PREDATORS ON THE PLANET.

THE MONGOOSE HAS RAZOR-SHARP
TEETH AND LIGHTNING SPEED.

BUT ONE BITE FROM A MAMBA
CAN KILL 15 GROWN MEN.

SO IMAGINE WHAT IT CAN DO
TO A FIVE-POUND MONGOOSE.

THE MAMBA IS LETHAL,
BUT SHE'S NOT TOUGH.

SHE RELIES ON HER VENOM
TO SEDATE HER VICTIMS

AND IMMOBILIZE THEIR WEAPONS.

HERE'S THE KICKER--

THE MONGOOSE HAS AN ANTIDOTE
TO HER POTION.

THE TOXINS IN SNAKE VENOM
ATTACH TO CHEMICAL RECEPTORS

IN THEIR VICTIMS

AND BLOCK COMMUNICATIONS
BETWEEN NERVES AND MUSCLES.

MONGOOSE RECEPTORS HAVE MUTATED

SO THAT VENOM SIMPLY BOUNCES OFF
THE MUSCLE CELLS.

HE'S LITERALLY IMMUNE TO DANGER.

THE MONGOOSE M.O. IS TO DANCE
CIRCLES AROUND HIS PREY

UNTIL IT'S EXHAUSTED.

AND THEN, THE KILL SHOT.

ONE SWIFT SNAP TO
THE BACK OF THE HEAD,

AND THE SPINE IS SEVERED.

THE SNAKE'S STILL ALIVE,
BUT PARALYZED.

HER MUSCLES TWITCH,
BUT HER BITE IS GONE.

FOR THE MONGOOSE,
THE REWARD OUTWEIGHS THE RISK.

A SEVEN-FOOT SNAKE IS A HEARTY
MEAL FOR A PINT-SIZED PREDATOR.

IT'S HARDLY SURPRISING
THE MONGOOSE IS SO BRASSY.

HIS CLOSEST RELATIVE IS

THE BIGGEST THUG
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE SPOTTED HYENA,
COUSIN TO THE MONGOOSE--

HE'S ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR AN EASY MEAL.

IT'S A NO-BRAINER THAT
HE SHADOWS THE ULTIMATE STALKER.

THE LEOPARD IS
THE MISTRESS OF STEALTH.

VEILED IN DARKNESS, SHE'S
TAILOR-MADE TO HUNT AT NIGHT.

SHE'S SLEEK AND SILENT, AND
SHE HAS EXTRAORDINARY VISION.

REFLECTORS BEHIND HER RETINAS
ABSORB EXTRA LIGHT,

AND HER EYES GLOW IN THE DARK.

LEOPARDS' EYES ARE LARGE, AND
THEIR FIELD OF VISION OVERLAPS,

WHICH HELPS HER TO JUDGE THE
POSITION OF HER PREY EXACTLY.

HER DAPPLED COAT BLENDS
INTO THE SHADOWS.

SHE'S DRESSED TO KILL,
SILENT AND DEADLY.

[GROWLING]

BUT UNLIKE THE LIONS AND
CHEETAHS, SHE'S A LONER.

SO THERE'S NO ONE
TO WATCH HER BACK.

[HYENA YIPPING]

[BELLOWING]

THE HYENAS ARE ALWAYS
A STEP BEHIND.

MUGGING HER MEALS
IS THEIR SPECIALTY.

THEY'RE HER MAIN COMPETITION
TO STAY IN THIS GAME.

[GROWLS]

IT'S A NIGHTLY ROUTINE
OF HIDE-AND-SEEK.

[YIPPING]

IF SHE CAN'T STASH
HER KILL QUICKLY,

SHE'LL LOSE IT TO THE MUGGERS.

HER CLAWS ARE PERFECT
MEAT HOOKS,

AND EVEN HER TONGUE
HAS TINY BARBS,

WHICH GET TO WORK REMOVING HAIR
FROM HER PREY.

[GROWLS]

BUT TIME'S UP.

[YIPPING]

ONCE AGAIN, THE THUGS HAVE
SNIFFED HER OUT.

[GROWLING, YIPPING]

IT'S A TOUGH LIFE
FOR A SOLITARY LEOPARD

FACING DOWN A GANG OF HYENAS.

IF SHE GETS INJURED,
SHE CAN'T HUNT,

AND IF SHE CAN'T HUNT,
SHE'S OUT OF THE GAME.

THE HYENAS ARE STARTING
TO CRAMP HER STYLE.

SHE NEEDS TO CHANGE HER TACTICS
AND TRY TO HUNT BY DAY.

THERE'S ANOTHER PREY OPTION
IN THIS TERRITORY.

THEY HANG OUT IN THE TREES,
AND THEY'RE EDIBLE.

LEOPARDS CAN'T RESIST
A BITE OF BABOON.

THE TROOP RISES AT DAYBREAK

AND BEGINS THEIR
MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL,

MOSTLY FORAGING AND BASKING
AROUND THEIR TEMPLE,

HOME TREE, THE BABOONS'
INNER SANCTUM.

THEIR LIVES REVOLVE
AROUND HER SOLID TRUNK

AND GENEROUS BRANCHES.

THE BABYSITTERS KEEP A LOOKOUT

WHILE THE YOUNGSTERS
LEARN THE ROPES.

BUT OTHER EYES ARE ON THEM.

FORCED INTO DAYLIGHT
TO AVOID THE HYENAS,

THE LEOPARD IS LURED INTO
THE BABOON'S PEACEFUL REALM.

[GRUNTING]

BABOONS AND LEOPARDS
ARE AGE-OLD RIVALS.

TWO PREDATORS WHO SHARE
THE SAME TURF

AND ARE EQUALLY MATCHED
IN AGGRESSION AND STEALTH.

HUNTING BABOON IS A CATCH-22.

AN ADULT MALE CAN WEIGH THE SAME
AS A FEMALE LEOPARD,

SO IT'S A GOOD MEAL IF SHE CAN
GET HER CLAWS INTO IT.

BUT ALMOST HALF THE TIME,
IT'S THE CAT THAT ENDS UP DEAD.

TO BRING DOWN A BABOON REQUIRES
PATIENCE AND STRATEGY.

THEY'RE ALERT, AGILE,
AND HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE--

A LETHAL COMBINATION WHICH
MAKES THEM EXPERT OPPORTUNISTS.

DEEP DOWN THEY'RE ALSO
DEADLY EFFICIENT PREDATORS.

AND WHEN THEY GET THE CHANCE,

THEY HAVE A LUST
FOR TENDER FLESH.

[BARKING]

THE BABOONS HAVE SHOWN
THEIR DARK SIDE.

PEACEFUL FRUIT-EATERS
TURNED LETHAL KILLERS

IN THE BLINK OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

HUNTING MEAT IS A PRIVILEGE
RESERVED FOR THE ADULT MALES.

AND WHEN HIS CHEEK POUCHES
ARE FULL,

THE OTHERS WILL GET THEIR TURN.

THE SMELL OF BLOOD CAUSES
CHAOS AMONG THE TROOP,

AND AGGRESSION FLARES UP
BETWEEN THE MALES.

THEIR MASSIVE CANINES
ARE ON A PAR

WITH BOTH THE LEOPARDS
AND THE LIONS.

THEY ARE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED
WEAPONS.

THE UPPER CANINE HAS THIN ENAMEL

AND IS CONSTANTLY HONED
BY THE LOWER PREMOLAR,

WHICH HAS VERY THICK ENAMEL.

SO EVERY TIME
HE CLOSES HIS MOUTH,

HE'S SHARPENING HIS SABERS.

IT'S THE PERFECT DESIGN

TO INFLICT MORTAL WOUNDS
ON HIS ENEMIES.

HIS JAWS ARE AS STRONG
AS A NUTCRACKER,

AND HIS LETHAL FANGS
CAN CRUSH BONE AND KILL.

HE'S NOT THE KIND OF ADVERSARY

THAT A LONE LEOPARD SHOULD
TAKE ON IN DAYLIGHT.

THE LEOPARD BEATS
A HASTY RETREAT.

[BABOONS SCREAMING]

BUT SHE'S BEEN RUMBLED.

ROBBED OF HER
NIGHTTIME CAMOUFLAGE,

SHE'S EXPOSED AND VULNERABLE.

THE BABOONS WON'T LET HER OFF
THAT LIGHTLY.

WHILE THEY'VE GOT VISUAL, ATTACK
IS THEIR BEST FORM OF DEFENSE.

THEY GANG UP TO FLUSH HER
OUT OF THE TREES.

THE AGGRESSIVE MALES
WILL KILL HER GIVEN THE CHANCE.

WHEN THERE'S NO BACKUP,

EVEN THE STEALTHIEST PREDATOR
NEEDS TO BACK DOWN.

SOMETIMES THE REWARD JUST
ISN'T WORTH THE RISK.

SHE'LL NEED A NEW STRATEGY
IF SHE WANTS TO HUNT BABOONS.

CLOAKED IN DARKNESS,
THE ODDS ARE IN HER FAVOR.

SHE CAN USE THE TROOP'S POOR
NIGHT VISION TO HER ADVANTAGE.

ROOSTING HIGH UP KEEPS THEM SAFE
FROM MOST PREDATORS.

BUT THEIR NEMESIS
IS AN EXPERT CLIMBER.

SHE'S ALREADY HONED IN
ON HER SOFT TARGET.

[GROWLING, BARKING]

[SHRIEKING]

[BARKING]

[GROWLS]

HER STRATEGY PAID OFF.

AT NIGHT, SHE CAN SLINK
THROUGH THE TREES

AND PICK OFF
THE DEFENSELESS BABOONS.

AND BY HUNTING IN THE TREES,

SHE KEEPS HER KILLS SAFE
FROM THE MARAUDING HYENAS.

USING HER SPECIALIZED
CAMOUFLAGE,

THE LEOPARD HAS AN ALMOST
100% SUCCESS RATE

HUNTING BABOONS AT NIGHT.

LIKE ALL THE PREDATORS,

EVOLUTION HAS EQUIPPED HER
WITH THE TOOLS SHE NEEDS

TO TAKE UP HER NICHE
IN THIS ARENA.

DANGEROUS PREDATOR
VERSUS DANGEROUS PREY.

IT'S A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

WHERE BOTH ARE EQUALLY MATCHED
TO ATTACK AND COUNTERATTACK.

AS LONG AS THE REWARD
OUTWEIGHS THE RISK,

BOTH HUNTER AND HUNTED
WILL FOREVER BE LOCKED

IN THIS DEADLY GAME
OF LETHAL ATTRACTIONS.

[BARKS]
