Op Botswana se Linyanti-vlakte heers 'n groep broers onder die top roofdiere. Drie jagluiperds: vennote sedert geboorte, en een van die doeltreffendste jagkragte op die vlaktes. Hulle jag as 'n span, met Achilles voor, en Odin en Shiva wat hom aan weerskante flankeer. Die magtige trio het hul grondgebied vir meer as vyf jaar gehou, totdat eendag tragedie toeslaan. Achilles word deur 'n kobrabyt doodgemaak, wat Odin en Shiva vir die eerste keer in hul lewens laat om vir hulself te sorg. Met die krag van drie gebreekte moet hulle vinnig aanpas: leer om as 'n tweeling te jag en hul dood te verdedig sonder die hulp van Achilles. Hulle pogings verwar 'n magdom roofdiere wat opvang: 'n beseerde luiperd, 'n slinkse hiëna en 'n slinkse swartrugjakkals. Om sake te vererger, begin 'n eensame jagluiperdman op hul grond oortree. Soos die jagluiperd-broers hul krag en doeltreffendheid herwin, word die eensame mannetjie 'n groot bekommernis. Toe hulle hom uiteindelik in die hoek steek, breek 'n bose geveg uit. Maar dan vind 'n merkwaardige transformasie plaas – in plaas daarvan om die jagluiperd dood te maak, verdra hulle hom. Dag vir dag begin die vreemdelinge mekaar geleidelik aanvaar, totdat op ’n dag – teen alle kanse – die krag van drie na die Linyanti-vlakte teruggekeer word terwyl ’n nuwe koalisie van jagluiperds uiteindelik saam jag...

Africa's Deadly Kingdom delves deep into the complex lives of the continent's most remarkable species and their never-ending struggles to survive.
Hyena: the great opportunist looks at this super predator's social life and hunting ways and explains why they have often been so wrongly perceived. The Spotted Hyena has managed to hold its own amongst a savage world of competitive predators- but how does it achieve such a high status? The answer lies in its adaptability, family structure, physiology, and opportunistic behaviour. Second, only to the lion, the hyena dominates all other predators out on the African plains- obtaining meat while the opportunity exists is this bear-like scavenger's top priority.
For millions of years, herbivores and predators have competed in an arms race, and over time, they developed specialised survival techniques and super-human abilities. They can see, smell and hear with telescopic vision, advanced radar and instant wireless communication, the real bush telegraph. Sense and Scentability explore the phenomenal world of animal super-senses, looking at dramatic footage of the hunters and the hunted square off against each other in Africa's great wilderness area.
At Londolozi Game Reserve they experience a close interrelationship with the animals and this is the window which allows them into the secret life of the magnificent Leopard Lula.

Now residing in the Ndumo Wildlife Sanctuary on the South African Mozambiquan border, these prehistoric reptiles live a harsh and difficult life. When a young female crocodile risks her life to mate with the biggest male in the group, she is in direct competition with older and larger females. It is an ambitious strategy of survival that could pay off - if her young brood makes it to adulthood.
John Varty, Gillian van Houten and Elmon Mhlongo track the secret life of a Leopard called Lula. They diaries the birth of her cubs, her triumphant hunts and her interactions with other lethal predators.

Africa is a land of giants. Its mighty rivers sculpt the earth and form impressive valleys and waterways home to many imposing and powerful inhabitants. These are the rivers where massive elephants and hippos live, feed and drink, and ancient crocodiles hunt and breed. They share the rivers with porcupines, the martial eagle, and the leopard.
The Sardine Run - One of the most spectacular marine wildlife events in the world. Millions of sardines swim along the South coast of Africa pursued by thousands of dolphins, countless sharks and gannets, all competing for nature's bounty. Meanwhile, every fisherman on the south coast of Africa also races to exploit the generosity of this vast ocean. This action packed, visually spectacular film follows the passionate quest of director / cameraman, Peter Lamberti, and his dedicated crew as they chase the sardines racing along South Africa's Wild Coast shadowed by an assortment of predators. Sharks, dolphins, seals, gannets and many other animals join this gala, frantic to indulge in the great feast. Whales, sharks and game fish compete to keep up with this moving buffet. Inadvertently, the various predators start to act cooperatively. Copper sharks and Common dolphins team up, herding the shoals close to the surface, making it easier for the seabirds to plunge in and take their share. From the air and from below, the hunt is on. For the local Shark's Board it is a particularly tense time, having to remove the shark nets from the sea to avoid shark and dolphin casualties. As the sardines head up the coastline the action intensifies, on the Natal Coast humans join in the attack. Fishermen and local inhabitants wait all year for this bonanza. As the nets are hauled up on the beach, the frenzy continues with onlookers grabbing handfuls, stuffing fish in bags and pockets. Etiquette forgotten, fights break out as the people grapple with each other to seize as many fish as possible. The sensational under water footage of "The Greatest Shoal on Earth" reveals one of the most incredible spectacles of the planet's oceans .
