Predators of the Wild: African Survival

NR 1994 · 52 min · Documentary

African survival... on the ancient killing grounds of the African savanna, life belongs to the strong, the swift, the cunning. For creatures who are none of the above, death is as close as the nearest shadow, as swift as the beat of a heart. Become an intimate observer of the astonishing drama played out around the African water hole. On the sun-baked outskirts: parched herd animals desperate for the liquid shimmering before them. Between them and the water of life: leopard, lion, hyena and python lie in wait. The climax: a breathtaking display of predatory skill and sheer killing power unmatched anywhere in nature!
