Ultimate Predators: Lions vs. Prey | FULL EPISODE | Wildlife Documentary follows the African lion, one of Africas Big Five, across two empires of predators an ocean apart the savanna where kings of the grassland face walls of horn that strike back, and the Pantanal of Brazil, the largest wetland on Earth, where patient shadows wait beneath the water. Both empires hang on a single question: what carries an animal through to dawn, strength, or patience?
Through cinematic footage and educational storytelling, this documentary opens with the most complete hunting machine the savanna ever produced losing three times in a row. A pride rushes a giraffe fifteen feet tall and is dragged on its back like a torn coat until one kick flings a lion into the grass. A hyena clan, hunters of ninety five percent of their own food in the Talek region of the Maasai Mara, closes on a buffalo calf and stops in front of a mother who will not move. Then the herd finds the hidden cubs, and answers the old hunts with what science calls mobbing. When the males step to the front line, the main buffalo hunters of the species according to Kruger National Park studies, they bring down an old bull, and watch dozens of buffalo take the carcass back.
Across the ocean, the rules change. A jaguar slips into the water and takes a caiman from behind, the blind spot of every crocodilian, with the strongest bite of any big cat for its size. A family of giant otters forms a line and mobs that same jaguar off their river. A twelve foot yellow anaconda takes a capybara in seconds, then spends a week too heavy to flee. A giant anteater with four inch claws and no fangs at all walks away from the top hunter in South America without running a single step. And one predator, as the film promises in its first minute, pays with its own life.
Epic Moments in This Documentary:
A pride flung off a living tower by a single kick
A buffalo mother planting herself between a hyena clan and her calf
A herd that grinds flat the grass where the cubs were hidden
Male lions taking an old bull, and dozens of horns taking it back
A jaguar entering the water for a caiman, and a river boiling white
Giant otters barking a jaguar off their territory line
An anaconda swallowing a meal almost as large as herself
The ancient caiman making the last move of the dry season
