Predator Fails

Documentary Tring Planet

There is no greater predatory testing ground than the African Savannah. Its greatest hunters: Lion, crocodile, leopard, hyena, and cheetah hunt day in and day out, using their killer machinery to turn epic hunts into successful kills. We score each predator on what it has to be successful: Size & Strength, Speed, Strategy, Teamwork, and Weapons give them a total out of 50. The crocodile has an 80% success rate on our predator scoreboard - but does this score on paper reflect its actual success on game day? The twist is that when it counts, these numbers get thrown out the window: Out in the wild anything can happen, even their killer machinery can’t always guarantee success... This is a numbers game, and before these expert killers can get a meal they must fail first... A lioness gets flicked into the air by a buffalo; crocodiles are kicked in the head by stampeding wildebeest; a cheetah clean misses its target; hyenas fall at the hands of lions; and the wily leopard only just escapes...
