Nine has finally rescheduled The Hunt for next week.
The hotly anticipated nature documentary was due in February but was pulled at the last minute.
Sir David Attenborough returns to narrate another fascinating adventure in the animal kingdom when The Hunt premieres for the first time in crystal clear HD.
Nature documentaries about hunting and survival usually focus on the kill, the final chapter. But The Hunt illustrates the elusive and rarely seen strategies employed by the hunters to trap and catch their prey.
A successful hunt depends on many skills – speed, stealth, stamina, strength, ingenuity and teamwork. But it’s how these skills are applied that makes the difference between life and death. We see the successes and failings of predators such as Blue Whales, Cheetahs, Frigatebirds, Tigers, even Army Ants, as they fight to survive in the wild.
Follow The Hunt around the globe from the USA, Norway, Madagascar and South Africa to Ethiopia, watching how these highly evolved predators are programmed to strike for a kill and survive another day.
After the actual kill The Hunt rewinds to give us a rare insight into the lead-up, the skills, the tactics, and the undocumented low rate of success when a predator is on the hunt.
Engage with both sides of the absorbing story of life and death in the wild in Sir David Attenborough’s latest television event, The Hunt – a new series from BBC Worldwide telecast for the first time in crystal clear HD.
The Hunt premieres Wednesday, May 25 at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
