Big Cat Week

A lightly presented nature documentary series. In each season, adventurous British zoologist Steve Backshall travels around the world to select sixty of the most deadly and interesting animal species, from insects to giants, many predators, others just armed with deadly defensive means. Every episode yields three or more of them, with something in common, such as the geographical environment, or a mode of killing. A few extra episodes are dedicated to extras such as 'the making of'.

Malawi is a small African country that has made a big push to protect its wildlife. Leading the effort is American veterinarian Dr. Amanda Salb and her colleagues at the country's only animal rescue center, where injured and abandoned creatures are saved and rehabilitated.

Black bears sleeping in our basements, baboons breaking into our kitchens, coyotes snatching our pets out of our backyards, wild animals are moving into our space. As humans continue to build and expand cities and suburbs around the world, animals are losing their homes and inching their way into ours. Join Nat Geo on a different kind of adventure, into our cities, our suburbs and the outskirts of our towns, to witness which creatures are lurking in the shadows and which ones aren't afraid to stand out in the streets. Join us as we take a journey into our Urban Jungle. Guided by big cat tracker Boone Smith, Urban Jungle takes a closer look into cities across the planet including Moscow, New York and Mumbai, which humans consider their own, but have become overrun with wildlife.
