Predators: Killing for a Living
Predators: Killing for a Living is a BBC nature documentary series hosted by Anthony Hopkins and John Shrapnel, exploring how animals have developed their own ways to capture prey to survive in nature. In the animal kingdom,
it's kill or be killed on a daily basis, as creatures struggle to survive and vicious cycle of life and death is an everyday event in the wild. This documentary series chronicles the different yet lethal techniques used in this dance of death,
from animals that work in well-organized gangs to lone killers that capture prey using camouflage and the element of surprise.
Killers of the Dark. Nocturnal creatures are having an arms race. Their weapons are not offensive or defensive, but an espionage equipment. Some use night vision and take full advantage of the moon and the stars in low light,
while others use a fine-tuned smell and touch senses. There are animals whose ears are more sensitive than any microphone and the creatures who observe their surroundings with three-dimensional sonars or electromagnetic sensors.
Some even produce light: a trap that attracts their prey to death.
