Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.120
Cheetahs are the fastest
animals on land.
2
00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:44.720
Just one of a remarkable family.
3
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.600
LOW SNARLING
4
00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:07.680
One family...
5
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:11.320
..40 different faces.
6
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:23.480
CAT MEWS
7
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.200
From the fastest...
8
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:42.680
..to the strongest...
9
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.120
..the smallest...
10
00:01:51.440 --> 00:01:53.000
..to the biggest...
11
00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:05.120
..these are the cats.
12
00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:26.960
Africa...
13
00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:31.360
..home to the king of the beasts.
14
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:04.320
Lions may be legendary
15
00:03:04.320 --> 00:03:06.800
but among cats they're strange.
16
00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:14.480
That's because they're the only
ones to live together,
17
00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:16.880
the only truly social cat.
18
00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:22.720
The pride is a family...
19
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:25.920
..and an alliance.
20
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.160
Here in Ruaha, Tanzania, they're
famous for forming super prides...
21
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:00.840
..huge groups that can tackle the
most formidable prey in Africa.
22
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.800
This buffalo herd is
hundreds strong.
23
00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:33.560
Each weighs more than
three lions combined.
24
00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:47.520
And they fight back.
25
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.400
Lions suffer more injuries
and fatalities from buffalo...
26
00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:06.400
..than any other adversary.
27
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.760
This female is nursing
three cubs...
28
00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:26.400
CUBS SNARL AND MEW
29
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:33.960
..and also a serious wound
inflicted by a buffalo.
30
00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:55.400
A debilitating injury like this
is not just very painful...
31
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:03.800
..it's potentially life-threatening
for both her and her cubs.
32
00:06:13.640 --> 00:06:15.000
They are all hungry.
33
00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:15.680
On her own...
34
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.320
..this is hopeless.
35
00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:29.160
But she's not alone.
36
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.560
She's part of the pride.
37
00:08:04.760 --> 00:08:07.360
LIONS GRUNT
38
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.560
No other cat can
bring down a giant like this.
39
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:57.520
BIRDS CHIRRUP
40
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:10.120
And now she will be able to feed her
family and allow wounds to heal.
41
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.120
Living in a pride sets lions apart.
42
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.280
It's an extraordinary alliance.
43
00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:27.720
But it's not just about
big game hunting.
44
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.520
This is an extended family
45
00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:33.560
that supports and protects every
mother and their cubs.
46
00:09:42.520 --> 00:09:45.920
But for all other cats
it's a different story.
47
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:56.400
Hiding in this Sri Lankan jungle is
a cat so rare few have ever seen it.
48
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.680
Exploring the world beyond
his den for the first time
49
00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:08.200
is a miniature predator.
50
00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:24.560
The smallest feline in the world...
51
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.880
He may look like a kitten...
CAT MEWS
52
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.360
..he'd still fit in
the palm of your hand...
53
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.640
..but this little male is
very nearly fully grown.
54
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.880
He'll soon be setting
off on a solitary life...
55
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.000
..fending entirely for himself.
56
00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:04.880
What he lacks in size
57
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:07.880
he makes up for in daring.
58
00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.560
Young cats are born curious.
59
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.120
It's how they learn
about their world...
60
00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:37.680
..even if it can get
them into trouble.
61
00:11:43.400 --> 00:11:46.800
Straight away he puts his super
senses through their paces.
62
00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:02.400
His eyes are six times more
powerful than our own,
63
00:12:02.400 --> 00:12:05.760
and sensitive
to the slightest movement.
64
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.920
His whiskers, rooted in
a bed of nerves,
65
00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:16.520
detect the faintest touch
66
00:12:16.520 --> 00:12:18.400
or the gentlest breath of wind.
67
00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:23.600
His hearing is better
than ours, too,
68
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.800
tuned to sounds that are completely
imperceptible to the human ear.
69
00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:28.840
BIRD CAWS
70
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.000
And his sense of smell is
71
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.320
capable of distinguishing between
72
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.160
a billion different odours.
73
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.400
This little cat is alert to every
change in his surroundings.
74
00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:58.800
But now it's time
to learn which sounds...
75
00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:02.320
..or sights...
76
00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:06.600
..signal danger.
77
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:25.400
Every step of today's adventure has
been stored away in his memory.
78
00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:30.920
He's building a 3-D map
of the jungle in his head...
79
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.360
..so he can find his way home...
80
00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:40.240
..in a flash.
81
00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:49.320
All cats,
82
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.800
from the smallest
83
00:13:51.800 --> 00:13:53.800
to the biggest,
84
00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:56.200
share extraordinary skills and
abilities that have allowed them
85
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.800
to conquer all four
corners of the globe.
86
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.640
Siberian tigers prowl
frozen forests.
87
00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:14.440
They are 200 times bigger
than a rusty-spotted cat...
88
00:14:17.400 --> 00:14:18.760
..but just as elusive.
89
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.880
In the Pantanal,
90
00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:32.560
the world's largest wetland,
91
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:36.440
jaguars are on the hunt
for monsters.
92
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.600
For their size, they have the
strongest bite of any cat...
93
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.200
..even making short work
of huge caiman crocodiles.
94
00:15:10.520 --> 00:15:14.600
The jungle canopy of
South and Central America
95
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.680
is the realm of the
tree-climbing margay.
96
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.160
They can judge distances perfectly.
97
00:15:30.280 --> 00:15:33.440
A critical skill if you're to clear
a gap of nearly four metres
98
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.360
with a single leap,
high above the forest floor.
99
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.760
And when it's time to descend,
100
00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:53.240
their ankles rotate 180 degrees
101
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.400
so they can walk vertically down.
102
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.280
Whether it's hunting in
the swamps of Asia
103
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:05.480
or patrolling the oldest
desert in Africa...
104
00:16:10.640 --> 00:16:13.400
..cats thrive everywhere.
105
00:16:30.280 --> 00:16:33.800
They've even conquered
the highest mountains on Earth...
106
00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:38.400
..the Himalaya.
107
00:16:44.520 --> 00:16:46.800
It's a place where food is scarce...
108
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.320
..so to survive you need
a huge territory.
109
00:17:15.320 --> 00:17:19.880
This vast wilderness
of sheer cliffs and bare rock
110
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.440
is home to the snow leopard...
111
00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:31.800
..the world's highest and,
just maybe, most lonesome cat.
112
00:17:40.360 --> 00:17:43.280
This ageing male is searching...
113
00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:52.520
..but not for food.
114
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.200
He's looking for a mate.
115
00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:21.920
The task would be nigh impossible
116
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:27.160
if it wasn't for a cat's unique
ability for long-distance romance.
117
00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:37.520
His long-lasting and pungent spray
carries his dating profile.
118
00:18:40.760 --> 00:18:44.920
Male, single, would like to meet.
119
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.200
Both males and females spray...
120
00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:05.800
..posting their romantic status
to any and every one that passes by.
121
00:19:08.280 --> 00:19:12.360
So he diligently walks
these paths every day
122
00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:15.400
in the hope that a potential
mate has passed through.
123
00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:27.320
At his most eager,
he'll scent mark 20 times an hour.
124
00:19:42.280 --> 00:19:45.360
It may take a week or more to
cover his entire territory...
125
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.120
..but his search must
go on, day after day...
126
00:19:53.320 --> 00:19:55.240
..in spite of the Himalayan weather.
127
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.560
You never know what might
be around the next corner.
128
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.640
Here he discovers a female
has left her mark.
129
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.240
Rubbing his own scent over hers,
130
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.960
he declares his interest.
131
00:21:20.840 --> 00:21:24.320
This male might just have one
last chance to mate.
132
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:39.240
Could this be it?
133
00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:46.280
ECHOING CRY
134
00:21:46.280 --> 00:21:49.520
On the wind, the call
of a distant female.
135
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.560
HE GRUNTS
136
00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:30.600
Just maybe...this male's
search is over.
137
00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:04.960
For male cats, life is
a lonely existence.
138
00:23:11.560 --> 00:23:13.360
But for female cats,
139
00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:15.280
it's very different.
140
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:29.280
This is Honey...
141
00:23:36.800 --> 00:23:38.720
..a female African leopard...
142
00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:41.640
..and a mother.
143
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:48.360
A radio collar has given researchers
an insight into the life
144
00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:51.480
of the most elusive
of Africa's big cats.
145
00:24:13.520 --> 00:24:18.120
Leopards thrive in more
environments than any other cat.
146
00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:22.800
But that doesn't mean
that life is easy.
147
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.160
At ten years old, Honey has outlived
her brothers and sisters...
148
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.520
..somehow survived a broken leg
149
00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:39.400
and now, during the worst
drought in decades,
150
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:40.680
she's hunting for two.
151
00:24:45.800 --> 00:24:51.000
For mother cats, childcare is
a balancing act between protection
152
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.600
and provision.
153
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.720
If they're to hunt successfully,
154
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:01.640
a leopard must do so alone...
155
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.800
..so she's left
her young cub behind.
156
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:18.440
A tail twitch.
157
00:25:20.800 --> 00:25:21.360
Honey is onto something.
158
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:41.440
The drought has withered
all vegetation...
159
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:45.440
..so there's little cover.
160
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:53.840
She needs to get within 12 feet to
stand any chance of success.
161
00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:04.440
BIRDS CHIRP
And anything
162
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:06.520
could give the game away.
163
00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:16.720
BIRD CHIRPS
164
00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:37.520
Foiled by Africa's most
annoying alarm call.
165
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:47.560
She might be empty-handed...
166
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:51.520
..but it's time to get
back to her cub.
167
00:27:07.280 --> 00:27:09.840
Her calls are unanswered.
168
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.000
Half of leopard cubs don't
survive their first year.
169
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.200
Their best chance is to stay hidden
until they're sure it's safe.
170
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.520
Honey's young cub already has
a leopard's knack for stealth.
171
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:56.240
She can already give her
mother a surprise.
172
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.000
For the six last months,
she's grown strong on milk.
173
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:13.800
But now she's developing
a cat's appetite for meat.
174
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.400
A mother leopard always
has a backup plan.
175
00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:32.440
Honey has stashed a kill safely
out of the reach of thieves.
176
00:29:07.600 --> 00:29:11.200
For her cub,
this is an important lesson,
177
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.440
and the first of many.
178
00:29:22.760 --> 00:29:27.320
Across the cat family, kittens
and cubs have a long infancy.
179
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.720
It takes time to learn the skills
needed to hunt for themselves.
180
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.640
Often brothers and sisters
are on hand for training.
181
00:30:06.320 --> 00:30:10.240
Play is the key to
honing co-ordination...
182
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.000
..building strength...
183
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.800
..and agility.
184
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:29.400
The bond between them
might endure for years,
185
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:32.400
probably the closest relationship
they'll ever have with another cat.
186
00:30:39.760 --> 00:30:43.600
But there is one life skill
187
00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:45.800
which they must master alone...
188
00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:51.800
..the surprise attack.
189
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.920
Patagonia -
an unforgiving wilderness
190
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.800
where South America ends
191
00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:18.240
and the Antarctic begins.
192
00:31:41.320 --> 00:31:43.880
It's home to a secretive cat
193
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.720
that can only survive here
194
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:48.440
thanks to an eye for opportunity.
195
00:32:02.760 --> 00:32:05.880
Puma, the most southerly cat.
196
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.520
PENGUINS CALL
197
00:32:20.520 --> 00:32:24.280
Once a year these Magallenic
penguins come ashore to nest...
198
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:33.320
..perhaps a lifeline
for a hungry cat.
199
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:36.600
PENGUIN SCREECHES
200
00:33:43.520 --> 00:33:45.640
This may seem ruthless,
201
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.400
even callous,
202
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:53.360
but pumas must take what's here
today in case tomorrow it's gone.
203
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.000
This is what it takes to
survive in Patagonia.
204
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:39.800
As night falls...
205
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.000
..more cats arrive.
206
00:34:50.200 --> 00:34:51.960
It's an extraordinary moment.
207
00:34:54.560 --> 00:34:59.000
The abundance of prey means
territorial boundaries are ignored
208
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:05.720
and for now these usually
solitary creatures rub shoulders.
209
00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:26.520
It won't last.
210
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.440
The nesting season is soon over
211
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:41.920
and the penguins return to the sea.
212
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.400
The cats move on.
213
00:36:07.680 --> 00:36:09.680
Thanks to their adaptability,
214
00:36:09.680 --> 00:36:12.920
they are the most widespread
mammal in the Americas.
215
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:27.720
At the other end of this continent,
216
00:36:27.720 --> 00:36:32.360
the planet's most northerly cats
have chosen a very different path...
217
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:39.720
..in a wintry wonderland with
a record low of minus 63 Celsius.
218
00:36:41.160 --> 00:36:44.760
The Yukon is the coldest
place in North America.
219
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.520
This is Bigfoot country.
220
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.280
The prints belong
to a very unusual cat...
221
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.400
..a Canada lynx...
222
00:37:25.200 --> 00:37:28.160
..one whose hi-tech
accessories are at last
223
00:37:28.160 --> 00:37:30.400
letting us in on a secret life.
224
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.640
This is L40...
225
00:37:40.160 --> 00:37:42.240
..aka Kronk.
226
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.760
Scientists and shaman agree,
227
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.000
lynx are the keepers of secrets.
228
00:37:57.960 --> 00:37:59.720
You could spend years
229
00:37:59.720 --> 00:38:01.240
looking for a lynx
230
00:38:01.240 --> 00:38:03.120
and never see more than a footprint.
231
00:38:11.720 --> 00:38:14.480
And even if you did spot one,
232
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.560
they would soon give you the slip.
233
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:22.400
Until now.
234
00:38:24.680 --> 00:38:28.680
Kronk's every move is tracked,
offering an insight into
235
00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:32.400
the world's ultimate game
of cat and mouse.
236
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.800
Or, rather, cat and hare.
237
00:38:45.200 --> 00:38:48.720
Throughout these cold days,
a lynx needs to eat often.
238
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.280
And up here, there's only one
thing on the menu...
239
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:02.640
..snowshoe hares.
240
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:08.800
In fact, a lynx's very
survival depends on them.
241
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.720
Helpfully, there's plenty around.
242
00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:19.440
These hares breed like, well...
243
00:39:21.200 --> 00:39:22.920
..rabbits.
244
00:39:29.160 --> 00:39:31.560
So it's just a matter
of spotting one.
245
00:39:42.520 --> 00:39:45.480
Although Kronk seems
to be struggling,
246
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.560
cats eyes are fine-tuned for
detecting movement...
247
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.640
..so his is a game of patience.
248
00:40:33.720 --> 00:40:36.200
To survive in these
freezing conditions,
249
00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:38.680
Kronk must catch at least
a hare every day...
250
00:40:43.160 --> 00:40:45.960
..and use as little energy
as possible in doing so.
251
00:40:58.240 --> 00:41:01.360
If he can avoid a chase,
252
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.560
he will.
253
00:41:38.120 --> 00:41:40.800
So much about the lives of cats
has remained a mystery.
254
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:48.320
But now technology offers a
window into their secret world.
255
00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:54.800
Dawn in the Namibian desert.
256
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:18.880
This cheetah family is restless.
257
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:32.000
Few cats can resist a chase.
258
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:39.160
But none give chase quite
like a cheetah.
259
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:10.160
The latest science
has shown cheetahs rarely
260
00:43:10.160 --> 00:43:12.600
reach their record top speed.
261
00:43:12.600 --> 00:43:15.960
So if cheetahs don't
rely on sheer pace,
262
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:18.880
how do they catch their prey?
263
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.840
It's a question that requires
a new perspective.
264
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:28.600
This high-speed buggy is mounted
265
00:43:28.600 --> 00:43:31.320
with a stabilised
slow-motion camera...
266
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:35.200
..to give us the prey's eye view.
267
00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:59.840
Their sprinting prowess
is unrivalled.
268
00:44:17.600 --> 00:44:21.160
But this new approach reveals that
there's far more to cheetahs
269
00:44:21.160 --> 00:44:23.000
than just straight-line speed.
270
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:27.480
Cheetahs must not only keep
up with their target...
271
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:31.480
..but react to their
every twist and turn.
272
00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:44.960
Their blunt claws are running
spikes that provide traction.
273
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:53.760
Even at 50mph,
274
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:57.840
the grip allows them
to change direction...
275
00:44:57.840 --> 00:44:59.120
..instantly...
276
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.240
..and their long tail whips
around to keep them upright.
277
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:18.360
They can also brake hard.
278
00:45:25.200 --> 00:45:27.800
Strong bones are shock-absorbers...
279
00:45:29.160 --> 00:45:31.840
..dissipating forces that could
break a human leg.
280
00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:44.280
Cheetahs are more than
just sprinters
281
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.440
outrunning prey on open plains.
282
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:51.880
They're agile and manoeuvrable.
283
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:57.640
They're athletes.
284
00:46:09.680 --> 00:46:11.400
And where that really counts...
285
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:16.000
..is here...
286
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:19.200
..in woodland.
287
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:31.320
This is an obstacle course where the
prey's best chance
288
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:33.920
is to weave and turn to escape.
289
00:46:41.200 --> 00:46:43.760
So a cheetah can rarely
hit top speed.
290
00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:57.960
This chase is not a race...
291
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:02.280
..it's a dance.
292
00:47:06.160 --> 00:47:08.760
The prey leads...
293
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:14.360
..and the predator must follow.
294
00:47:50.240 --> 00:47:52.600
Cheetahs are the fastest
animals on land...
295
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:57.400
..incredible sprinters,
296
00:47:57.400 --> 00:47:58.400
but so much more.
297
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:06.840
The more we learn about cats,
the more we realise there's still
298
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:11.280
so much more to discover about this
remarkable animal family.
299
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:27.400
Over two years,
300
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:31.480
the Big Cats team mounted filming
expeditions across the globe.
301
00:48:32.520 --> 00:48:33.840
Whoa!
302
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:52.200
All cats are elusive
and shy creatures...
303
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:55.880
..and notoriously hard to film.
304
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.240
None more so than snow leopards.
305
00:49:09.560 --> 00:49:12.520
The Big Cats team set out to film
a lonely male leopard's
306
00:49:12.520 --> 00:49:13.560
search for a mate.
307
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:21.720
After months of planning,
308
00:49:21.720 --> 00:49:23.840
director Anna
309
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.760
and cameraman Hector
310
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:30.800
embark on a five-day journey
high into the Indian Himalayas...
311
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:34.800
..the home of the snow leopard.
312
00:49:35.160 --> 00:49:37.400
We're on our way up
to the mountains,
313
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.720
it's starting to get a little bit
windy and a little bit steep,
314
00:49:40.720 --> 00:49:44.240
and it's going to get a bit more
hairy from here on in.
315
00:49:44.240 --> 00:49:47.640
In winter, there's only one road in.
316
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.880
At 4,000 metres
they're still climbing.
317
00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:58.680
This is the bit I've been dreading.
318
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:05.360
This is where it gets icy,
narrow and quite steep.
319
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:14.600
Their final destination is Kibber,
one of the highest villages
320
00:50:14.600 --> 00:50:18.400
in the world, and their
base for the next five weeks.
321
00:50:22.240 --> 00:50:24.800
From now on the crew
will be on foot.
322
00:50:31.160 --> 00:50:35.640
With snow leopard expert Lama-ji
and a team of spotters,
323
00:50:35.640 --> 00:50:39.560
Anna and Hector spend their days
scouring the sheer-sided gorges.
324
00:50:39.560 --> 00:50:41.280
Any sign of any leopards, Lama-ji?
325
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:50.400
But there are telltale signs
that the cats do pass this way.
326
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:51.520
You can see all the markings
327
00:50:51.520 --> 00:50:54.800
where they've sprayed
loads over the years.
328
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:56.200
It's a lot darker, isn't it?
329
00:50:56.200 --> 00:50:58.400
Was this recent or not, this one?
330
00:50:58.400 --> 00:50:59.880
Cos it looks quite clear.
331
00:51:01.600 --> 00:51:02.680
Not that recent.
332
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:06.600
Probably not that recent.
333
00:51:06.600 --> 00:51:08.800
I'll go with not that recent.
334
00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:13.520
There might be a good reason why
they're yet to see a leopard.
335
00:51:13.520 --> 00:51:16.640
The big surprise so far
is that it hasn't snowed,
336
00:51:16.640 --> 00:51:20.400
it's almost a month overdue.
337
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:22.760
Snow brings the snow leopards
down to lower altitude
338
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.000
as they follow their prey.
339
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:28.000
However, this morning
we actually heard some
340
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.800
calling down in the gorge here.
341
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:32.560
It was echoing around, so,
obviously, it's hard to know where
342
00:51:32.560 --> 00:51:34.680
it was from, but we think
it was in this area.
343
00:51:34.680 --> 00:51:36.280
That's a very, very good sign.
344
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:41.600
With a cat clearly nearby,
345
00:51:41.600 --> 00:51:43.600
a flurry of snow is just
what the crew need.
346
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:50.720
And it arrives right on cue.
347
00:51:52.680 --> 00:51:54.920
But be careful what you wish for.
348
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:58.400
We've been stuck inside
for the last two days.
349
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.400
Just had horrendous wind and snow,
350
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:04.000
so we haven't been out
to film anything.
351
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:06.160
The snow is super thick,
352
00:52:06.160 --> 00:52:09.360
but that should make it
easier to find a leopard.
353
00:52:11.720 --> 00:52:13.920
As the crew had hoped,
the snow has brought
354
00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:16.440
the prey down the mountain
355
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:18.960
and the leopard has followed.
356
00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:20.320
We've come across these prints,
357
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:23.640
they tracked up and over
into the next gorge.
358
00:52:23.640 --> 00:52:26.440
That's really exciting and the
first signs of a leopard.
359
00:52:27.960 --> 00:52:30.960
There may be prints to follow
360
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.440
but in this landscape the snow
leopard has the advantage.
361
00:52:36.200 --> 00:52:38.880
It could still take days for
the crew to track it down.
362
00:52:40.240 --> 00:52:43.360
It's such hard going at,
like, 15,000 feet.
363
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:45.840
Obviously, the leopard has
just sprinted up here.
364
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:49.720
At these high altitudes, the thin
air is taking its toll
365
00:52:49.720 --> 00:52:51.200
on Anna and Hector.
366
00:52:51.200 --> 00:52:53.720
THEY GASP
367
00:52:56.240 --> 00:53:00.160
It's steep. We're up high
368
00:53:00.160 --> 00:53:01.800
and it's a really long way.
369
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.560
The ghost of the Himalaya
is still one step ahead...
370
00:53:10.160 --> 00:53:12.400
..but finally the crew
are closing in.
371
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:18.800
We've just had word that a leopard
is on its way over, down,
372
00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:21.800
further down the gorge from where we
are now, so it's been quite a trek
373
00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:23.840
to get here this morning, however,
we've just got to go a little bit
374
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:26.800
further and, with any luck,
the leopard will still be there
375
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:29.440
and we can pick it up and,
if the weather stays like this,
376
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.400
it's going to be
absolutely beautiful.
377
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.400
WHISPERS: There's a snow leopard
down over the ridge.
378
00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:40.400
Hector's just gone down
with the camera.
379
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:42.120
And it's over there somewhere.
380
00:53:42.120 --> 00:53:45.520
We're going to go down and see
if we can see it now.
381
00:53:45.520 --> 00:53:48.240
It's quite exciting. OK.
382
00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:49.760
Ready now, OK.
383
00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:55.360
After weeks of relentless effort,
it's all rather overwhelming.
384
00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:56.440
WHISPERS: You can see?
385
00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:58.560
WHISPERS: We've got a snow
leopard just over there.
386
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:05.640
And to actually see one is just...
387
00:54:05.640 --> 00:54:08.000
It's just, like,
the most amazing thing.
388
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:17.240
There's a snow leopard
just down there.
389
00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:20.440
I can't stop crying.
390
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.760
I think all these guys must think
I'm completely insane.
391
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:29.520
The guys are laughing at us
cos we're so amazed.
392
00:54:29.520 --> 00:54:31.840
Obviously, they see them
now and again
393
00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:35.840
but they're not quite as
enthralled as we are, maybe.
394
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:42.240
I've just been concentrating
on, I don't know,
395
00:54:42.240 --> 00:54:45.280
getting us all in the right place,
396
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:49.160
but I'm just sat watching
a snow leopard!
397
00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:56.680
Over the next few days the crew
keep up with the leopard.
398
00:55:03.800 --> 00:55:08.320
But unfortunately finding a mate
doesn't seem to be a priority.
399
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.280
He's lying on his back with
400
00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:12.160
a foot pressed up against the wall,
401
00:55:12.160 --> 00:55:14.960
eyes closed, deep in sleep.
402
00:55:16.160 --> 00:55:18.560
It's just like cats at home,
403
00:55:18.560 --> 00:55:21.200
when they're sat by the
radiator, all snuggled in.
404
00:55:25.720 --> 00:55:28.640
Seven hours on
and the cat's still sleeping.
405
00:55:28.640 --> 00:55:31.960
He's turned and stretched a little
bit, but that's about it.
406
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:34.480
He's sleeping,
he's just sleeping all day.
407
00:55:37.520 --> 00:55:39.400
He likes to sleep, this one.
408
00:55:44.640 --> 00:55:48.200
Ooh, the cat's moving,
cat's moving, cat's moving.
409
00:55:48.200 --> 00:55:50.320
Having caught up on some sleep,
410
00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:52.960
it seems like the leopard might
be ready for action...
411
00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:56.800
..at last.
412
00:55:56.800 --> 00:55:59.960
Finally, Hector starts getting
the shots the crew came
413
00:55:59.960 --> 00:56:01.520
all this way for.
414
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:04.800
He's definitely scent marking.
415
00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:06.560
Cheek rubbing, spraying.
416
00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:30.800
We've been here all day, the snow's
obviously coated everything,
417
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:32.920
I'm freezing,
but it was worth the wait.
418
00:56:35.120 --> 00:56:38.400
Absolutely amazing. That was such an
incredible thing to see.
419
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:42.840
Time to go and get a bit warmer,
I think, now.
420
00:56:46.680 --> 00:56:49.920
Life in the Himalaya is tough
for the world's highest cat...
421
00:56:53.120 --> 00:56:57.120
..but after weeks spent living
alongside this lonesome leopard...
422
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:01.160
PLAINTIVE CRY
423
00:57:01.160 --> 00:57:05.640
..the crew left hopeful
he might soon find romance.
424
00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:13.000
Next time -
425
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.680

with surprising lives,
427
00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:21.680
living in the world's most remote
428
00:57:21.680 --> 00:57:23.640
and unexpected places.
429
00:57:25.200 --> 00:57:29.000

conquered the planet.
