In a Shark Week first, researchers with cameras brave a great white shark feeding frenzy from inside a life-size whale decoy. like it's never seen before, from the inside out.Discovery Channel’s Shark Week slate features: Sunday, July 23 “Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy” premieres at 8PM ET/PT on Discovery It's one of nature's finest biomechanical beasts. With unprecedented levels of teamwork, orcas execute some of the boldest hunting strategies in the animal kingdom. A nearly flawless predatory machine, it cannot only outmuscle, but outsmart, almost any animal on earth. Nothing dominates the world's oceans like the orca. In this pride's sights, its preferred meal: the African buffalo. Unlike many other predators, lions hunt in teams with tremendous power and coordination, they aren't afraid to take down anything. And for millions of years, African lions have ruled the savannah. They're one of the most intimidating creatures on the planet. See crocodile versus wildebeest through the eyes of a predator. But on the Mara River in Africa, they're waiting for a meal with enough calories to sustain them for up to two years. It's the ultimate battle of biomechanics, as science determines who wins one of nature's deadliest face-offs.įor three million years, Nile crocodiles have thrived by eating anything and everything that crosses their path. But to take down the antelope, which is nearly impossible to surprise, the cheetah has needed to develop more weapons than just her speed. Polar bear versus seal, a classic predator/prey mashup like it's never been seen before.įor millions of years, the cheetah, the fastest animal on the planet, has had the antelope in its sights. To ensnare the seal, the polar bear must be in the right place at the right time - hyper-alert and ready to strike. The seal has made it a tactical war, cleverly remaining out of reach and underwater for nearly her entire life. For eons, the polar bear has been engaged in the ultimate battle for survival with the evasive ringed seal. He's the largest land predator, a near-perfect killing machine. It's the ultimate battle of biomechanics as science determines who wins one of nature's deadliest face-offs. So, in this evolutionary arms race, sharks must also learn new ways to hunt. Fur seals are the ultimate prey for great whites, but they're difficult to capture and are constantly developing new strategies to elude them. Now, the planet's fiercest predator, the great white shark, is locked in a battle in a battle for survival with the Cape fur seal. His ancestors ruled the oceans long before the dinosaurs walked the earth. Live footage is mixed with computer-generated imagery and models that puts the viewer in the mindset of being on the hunt as these animals try to take down their prey. The series is meant to put viewers in a first-person perspective of a predator on the hunt. The series' premise of face-offs between animals is much similar to Animal Face-Off, only this time it is dedicated to predator-prey relationships and how the two animals use their skills to kill or to survive. It aired for six episodes on Animal Planet from January 11 to February 17, 2011. I, Predator is a documentary series revolving around predatory animal behavior.
