Predators Killing for a Living — Season 1, Episode 13: People as Prey
Documentary • 30 min • 1 season, 13 episodes
Episode synopsis
Every day and every moment the people who live close to wild animals are likely to face a sudden and violent death. The chance to die at wild animals jaws is very small, but it does little to comfort the victims. This film examines this serious matter lightly, and it raises some very difficult questions. The program is like a trial, where the animal kingdom is being investigated by people, and where several killers can present a defense speech.
About Predators Killing for a Living
Out in the wilderness death is a daily event. Nobody can do the hard work for the predators, and their domains testify the eternal process of killing or be killed. Here you get to see the world's fastest and most blood thirsty animals, such as the killer whale (Orcinus orca) risking to strand themselves in the hunt for an evening snack of seals. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) catching a Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsoni) in a sprint with speeds over 100 km/h. The Great White (Carcharodon carcharias) using it's sensory abilities to feed off the depths, and the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) intercepting reindeer. In this documentary we get to see the flock animals, the lone hunters and the lethal masters of camouflage caught on film. In dramatic, intense and close sequences the eating habits of nature are captured, and you only have two choices: to kill or be killed.
