Episode Information
Forests are dark, shady habitats, realms of shadows perfect for predators. The plant growth facili-tates a wealth of prey species, and predators of all shapes and sizes have adapted to exploit every niche. Whether crawling on the forest floor, gliding through the trees or stalking the shadows in be-tween, hunters have become masters of every type of forest imaginable. And they’re not just stealthy, they’re also some of the most enigmatic and beautiful creatures on the planet. Every forest across the world has complex animal communities and food chains, with the hunters right at the top. From the sloth bears of the dry Indian jungle to the carpet pythons lurking in dense Australian forest, these hunters are endlessly varied and uniquely cunning. So next time you take a walk in the woods, keep your eyes peeled for the hunters of the forest.
