Episode 1 Predators of the Southwest Cutting-edge camera technology provides a never-before-seen look into the daily struggles of both predators and prey in their ongoing fight for survival in the American Southwest. It's a snake-eat-snake world where one mistake can turn hunter into hunted in the blink of an eye.
Episode 2 Central American Killers Highly specialized camera equipment captures the unique behavior of some of the rainforest's most elusive animals and insects.
