The four-part series, PLANET CARNIVORE follows the dramatic stories of an African lioness, a great white shark, a polar bear and an Alaskan brown bear and their gripping struggle for survival.
Icebear follows a female polar bear named Binne, who, within 10 weeks, must eat enough food to double her body weight and sustain her through the rest of the year.
Would the sea ice of Norway provide the necessary prey for Binne’s survival?
Travelling across the seas, Great White Shark delves into the cold waters of South Africa’s False Bay. We follow the life of a great white shark called Haai as she stealthily searches for food - sometimes feasting, sometimes failing in the chase.
Lion transports you deep inside Ngorongoro, an isolated volcanic crater in East Africa formed over two million years ago.
Thirteen thousand wild beasts, zebra and buffalo graze on the nearly 20-kilometre crater floor.
This land is where one of the crater’s oldest lionesses, Malkia or “Queen” in Swahili, reigns over her kingdom. For the last 16 years, Malkia has mastered the art of the stalk.
But even though Malkia is at the top of the food chain, she faces competition with another of the crater’s ravenous carnivores – the hyena – to ensure that she and her pride have enough to eat.
Finally, King Bear, which is set in the beautiful and remote Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, follows one Alaskan brown bear and his rival as they struggle to become a King bear, winning a prime fishing spot and choice of mates.
DStv viewers can see PLANET CARNIVORE, every Thursday evening from July 5.
