Leopards on.

The Hardest Challenge New series.
Wildlife series examining the challenges predators face as they stalk their prey, and revealing how it is far more common for hunts to end in failure. The first episode demonstrates how leopards use stealth and concealment to get close to their prey, while African wild dogs have to work as a team. The programme also features footage of killer whales, which rely on their intelligence, Nile crocodiles that can wait years between meals, spiders able to spin 25 foot webs and amur falcons, which travel 16,000 miles every year to hunt insects. Narrated by David Attenborough

Brilliant filming. Really staggering images.Wonderful stuff 
Next episode :
In the Grip of the Seasons
Cameras follow predators living in the Arctic, who face a particularly challenging search for food, as the environment around them constantly changes with the seasons, from a continent of ice in perpetual darkness to a scattering of islands in constant sunshine. A polar bear climbs to reach a birds' nest, while another makes holes in the ice to catch seals. Plus, a look at how Arctic foxes have adapted to catch auks in mid-flight and the hunting strategies of Arctic wolves. Narrated by David Attenborough

On again :
Hide and Seek The challenges predators face finding and catching prey in a forest, where more than half the animal species on Earth live. However, it proves a tricky environment for predators, as vision is often blocked, escape routes are numerous, and the terrain makes travelling at speed almost impossible. The programme features footage of tigers using their surroundings to ambush deer and pine martens making tunnels in the snow, as well as examining the strategies adopted by sparrowhawks, jumping spiders, tarsiers, eagles and chimpanzees

Jaw dropping camera work...last week in the Arctic was the finest nature program I have seen.

Chimps hunting the monkey....doesn't seem right.
Seen chimps hunting before on some nature programme. They're absolutely rabidly mental.
