What does it take to make them top performers, and, even more exciting; what can we learn to make us better, from these creatures who've been perfected over the ages?

Episode 1

The Master Hunters

52 mins

Nature has engineered master hunters, each equipped with lethal weapons that keep them at the top of the food chain. Bald Eagles patrol the skies of North America, swooping down upon unsuspecting prey with their powerful talons. In tropical climates, the stealthy praying mantis impales its victims with incredible speed and accuracy. The hyena dominates the African savannah with its crushing jaws and souped-up musculature. In North American forests, the grizzly bear activates its superior sense of smell to track its next meal. Across four continents, grey wolves coordinate attacks in packs with their remarkable endurance.
