Most Dangerous Battles for Survival in African (Full Episode) | Nature Animal Documentary

Most Dangerous Battles for Survival in African (Full Episode) | Nature Animal Documentary. A lioness from a pride short of hunters waits beside a Serengeti stream, and the zebra that would outrun her on open ground has no room to turn in the water. Across nearly four hours of chained chapters, the most dangerous battles for survival unfold from the Serengeti and Savuti to the roof of the world in Ladakh, all decided not by top speed but by the first second and the final turn. Through cinematic footage and educational storytelling, the opening chapter begins in the Serengeti in the green season, where the herds must come down to the stream to drink. A lioness bursts from the thicket and drags a zebra down at the water's edge, and at Savuti in Botswana a mother leopard raising two cubs alone wades into the last mud pool of the Savute Channel to pull out a large catfish. Then the story climbs to Ladakh, on the western edge of the Tibetan Plateau, where a Tibetan fox races a pika to its burrow, a snow leopard chases a bharal over a cliff edge at Hemis, and Pallas's cats, black necked cranes and kiang share one brief summer. 0:00 Top Speed Never Saved a Life 0:31 Serengeti: Water in the Green Season 1:27 Lioness vs Zebra: the Stream Ambush 3:47 Serengeti: Where Lions Choose to Hunt 5:03 Savuti: the River That Vanishes 5:30 A Mother Leopard on the Rocky Hill 7:32 Leopard vs Catfish: the Last Pool 11:58 Ladakh: Roof of the World 12:59 The Tibetan Fox: Hunter of Pikas 13:58 Tibetan Fox vs Pika: the Final Turn 16:09 Hemis: Bharal on the Cliffs 16:49 Snow Leopard vs Bharal: Over the Edge 19:42 Marmots and the Pallas's Cat 21:43 Golden Eagles and Snowfinches 24:10 Black Necked Cranes and the Kiang 26:50 The Seasons Turn 29:00 Four Races, Four Outcomes 30:21 Savannah: Herds, Elephants and Rhinos 1:04:43 Polar Seas: Life Among the Ice 1:38:46 Pantanal: Jaguars and Hyacinth Macaws 2:46:52 India: Cobras, Dholes and Asian Elephants Epic Moments in This Documentary: A lioness bursting from the thicket as a zebra herd drinks at a Serengeti stream Zebra crashing through the water with no room to turn Lions waiting in cover along erosion banks where the herds come to drink A mother leopard on a rocky hill above the dry Savute Channel A leopard plunging her head into a mud pool and hauling out a catfish that breathes air A Tibetan fox sprinting at a pika that turns into its burrow one beat ahead A snow leopard and a bharal tumbling together down a cliff at Hemis A Pallas's cat sheltering in an abandoned marmot burrow Black necked cranes and herds of kiang on the summer grasslands of the plateau Elephants, jaguars, hyacinth macaws and the forests of India in the chained chapters Behind the drama is a system. Top speed rarely decides a hunt: the rains draw some 200,000 zebra and 1.2 million wildebeest into the Serengeti, yet lions choose places where prey is easy to catch, not where it is plentiful. On the Changthang plateau of Ladakh, above 13,000 feet, the thin air means no hunter can keep up a long chase, and at Hemis the cliffs rise to more than 19,000 feet, so the bharal survive by turning upward. In the wild, the race is won in the first second, or at the final turn. This documentary contains raw, unfiltered footage of nature at its most intense. Viewer discretion is advised. Some scenes are recreated with digital imagery to illustrate natural animal behavior.
