Reign of Terror

The sparse African Savannah can be a fearsome place for both herds of powerful prey and the lurking predators who hunt them down. In this captivating documentary series from National Geographic, the relationship between predator and prey is closely examined, exploring the fight for survival for both sets of animals. These herds are full of powerful or agile animals, making the job of a predator to feed itself and its family a troublesome task. But the African predators are ruthless and proficient hunters, and if a herd is infiltrated, or a straggling member is targeted, they will struggle to evade these savage carnivores.
