Life
Hunters & Hunted
Season 1 Episode 7 of 10
An insight into mammals' ability to learn new tricks to aid hunting prey and evading predators. Slow-motion cameras reveal the star-nosed mole's technique for detecting its next meal underwater, while an ibex runs up a steep cliff face to escape a fox. A killer whale off the coast of the Falklands sneaks into a pool used by elephant seal pups and snatches them, saving itself the trouble of searching for food in the open sea, and three cheetah brothers work together to hunt a zebra. Narrated by David Attenborough
