The Hunters and the Hunted
Episode 11 of 13
David Attenborough explores the eternal duel between the hunters and the hunted - one of the driving forces of evolution.
As the hunters develop speed and cunning, the prey becomes increasingly fast and wary in order to stay alive. Nowhere is this seen better than on the plains of East Africa.
