Episode Information

Nature is red in tooth and claw – animals face daily battles to protect themselves and secure the resources they need to survive. Every battle is a trade-off between energy spent, the risk to health and the prizes awarded to the victors. Each fighter has a unique set of tools and techniques available to dispatch their opponents. For predators to find food, lower links in the food chain have a fight on their hands escaping the jaws of death. Their only options are to die, run or turn and fight. Winning these battles will make the difference between life and death, and with the stakes so high don’t be surprised if the biggest animals don’t always have everything their own way. This balance is a crucial part of the natural world – it drives evolution and keeps animals on the top of their game. Welcome to nature’s fight club.
