AGE OF BIG CATS

3 × 50' (ENG, GER)

We think we know big cats pretty well – but perhaps we need to think again.

In this unprecedented 3-part series, recent scientific discoveries combined with the latest filming technology shed new light on the extraordinary story of the big cats and their ascent to top predator status.
How did these giant carnivores survive the ice age extinctions that wiped out other terrifying predators like the sabretooths? When we learn that the jaguar was once found in UK, the cheetah thrived in Asia, and the lion, far from being African, was a true worldwide phenomenon – it’s clear our view of cats needs updating.
