S1E1 The Hardest Challenge

Nov 01, 2015 Season 1 Episode 1 Documentary

The struggle between predators and their prey is one of nature's most intense spectacles. "The Hardest Challenge" showcases the incredible variety of methods predators employ to secure their meals. For instance, leopards rely on their stealth to sneak up on impalas in broad daylight, while wild dogs exhaust their targets by chasing them over great distances. Meanwhile, Nile crocodiles exemplify patience, and killer whales demonstrate their intelligence and teamwork by hunting humpback whales. Despite their sophisticated strategies, the results are often unpredictable, with many predators failing more often than not.
