And how much of the animals behavior is instinctive and how much is learnt? It's a fine balance out on the Savannah grasslands- a world that demands the very best from predator and prey.

Die wêreld se tropiese waters word bewoon deur 'n vis wat alle ander verdwerg, maar tog maak die kleinste wesens dit brandstof.
