Synopsis
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.

- 1. Dining AloneNow viewing1997-08-25Lone predators have developed an amazing range of means to survival. The speed of cheetah, snake venom and the ability of leopard to lie in ambush are examples of refined instincts needed when hunting alone.
- 2. Dressing for DinnerPredators and catch use large numbers of clever ways to trick each other. They include misrepresentation, nets and traps. Players in this game of death are praying mantis, shooter fish, mastophoreae-cross spider and stalking squids.
- 3. Company of KillersGroup hunting guarantees catch, and living in community is favourable basis for defense . In this episode we will see the life of plundering lions, hyenas and wild dogs in packs, as well as potential preys like bulls, meerkats and puffins.
- 4. Ocean PerilAll sea creatures have developed their own ways to kill and to avoid being killed. Beside visual, hearing and smelling sense there are also specific ways for species such as dolphins sonar to find hidden fish, or angel shark's cunning disguise.
- 5. Flight to the DeathPredatory birds are the most powerful and skilled beasts in the sky. Each species has its own way to obtain meals. Curved beak, claws to kill and a great vision are only part of their arsenal of deadly weapons.
- 6. The Killing QueenLion is arguably the most important predator in the African savannah. But among them the female lion is the one who works as a killing machine. Female lions namely will do most of the hunting, and beside their herd the hyenas, wild dogs and vultures enjoy the results also.
- 7. Rivers of Life and DeathThe river is the focal point of all life. But there where is life is also dying, and beneath the river surface the battle between preys and predators continues all the time. We will follow the North American otters and bears hunting for salmon below the melting ice, and we see how the South American piranha gets wild at carcass.
- 8. Hunters of the UnderworldPoisonous scorpions ... spiders with big claws ... myriapods ... armored insects ... Here are just some of the crawling creatures that stalk prey in the shadows beneath and around our feet.
- 9. Killers of the DarkNocturnal creatures are having an arms race. Their weapons are not offensive or defensive, but an espionage equipment. Some use night vision and take full advantage of the moon and the stars in low light, while others use a fine-tuned smell and touch senses. There are animals whose ears are more sensitive than any microphone and the creatures who observe their surroundings with three-dimensional sonars or electro-magnetic sensors. Some even produce light: a trap that attracts their prey to death.
- 10. SharksWe will see the lives of sharks both as predators and prey. Amount of shark species is enormous, and they are amazingly different in shapes, sizes, and each species of sharks have their own way to live and work. We look sharks as skillful predator and keen opportunist, as well expose the secrets of these misunderstood predators which often are considered as evil.
- 11. Murder in the FamilyWe look at the animals that kill representatives of their own species. The story begins with chickens which barely after hatching from egg begin the struggle of life. As the animal grows the battle continues: food, power, possibility to copulate. Any of these fights may end in death. The circle is rotated back: male may kill their partners offspring to get mating. But not all the animals are violent. At the end of the program we visit communities which instead killing their own species rather live in perfect harmony, where males and females, adults and offspring, brothers and sisters work together.
- 12. Cold Blooded KillersTyrannosaurus rex, "Terrible Lizard King", lives in our imagination as the greatest beast ever to have walked on Earth's surface. Maybe it's good that T. rex is extinct, but many still existing animals have ancestors who passed the same terrain with this monstrous predator. Many of them have fared well and are equally adept predators as carnivore dinosaurs once were. Which ones are the real heirs of the king's crown? In this detective story we are tracing the closest surviving offspring of this remarkable beast. And the results are amazing.
- 13. People as PreyEvery 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.
