Following individual lions, cheetahs and leopards for six months, over two extreme seasons, this documentary shows their battle to survive in an increasingly challenging world. From unprecedented wildfire to flood and extreme drought, the cats and camera crew are tested to their limits. A revolution in low light camera technology means the series showcases previously unseen behavior at night; cutting-edge drones keep track of the big cat’s movements like never before, and combining the raw endeavor of an expedition with premium natural history footage gives the show a contemporary new approach.
