The Predators
Narrated by David Attenborough
To the early American pioneers the larger predatory animals - cougar, wolf and bear - were part of the threatening face of the wilderness that surrounded them. Shot and harassed wherever they were encountered. their numbers dwindled as the wild was opened up for settlement. But predators are an essential part of a thriving natural community. This spectacular film set in North America explores the relationship between the hunters and their prey.
