Snow Cats and Me
Season 1 Episode 1 of 2
Part one of two. Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan joins pioneering biologist Dr Victor Lukarevskiy in Russia to attempt to rehabilitate two pairs of lynx held captive for years. Two of these cats, Koshka and Miass, were born in the wild, but have been locked in tiny steel cages for years by a fur trapper, while their Bryansk and Dasha have never seen the wilderness, and Dr Lukarevskiy wants to give these lynx a new life in the wild. Will they have the instincts needed to survive in the wild? And after years in human captivity, will they make it?
Snow Cats and Me airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 4:15 PM, Monday 18 November. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
