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.
Murder in the Family focuses on animals that kill representatives of their own species. As an animal grows, the ruthless battle continues: food, power, possibility to copulate. Any of these fights may end in death. The circle is rotated back:
male may kill their partners offspring to get mating. But not all the animals are violent. At the end of the program we visit communities which instead killing their own species rather live in perfect harmony, where males and females,
adults and offspring, brothers and sisters work together.
