- Synopsis:
Featuring incredible action, dramatic stories and an exclusive, never-seen-before programme starring Tamu the lioness. It was TV's most ambitious international wildlife event ever - a week of live broadcasts from the heart of Kenya's Masai Mara. Under the cover of darkness, the big cats of the savannah really come alive and Big Cat Lives 'invisible' infa-red and thermal cameras were there to film just what was going bump, howl and roar in the African night. A new presenter - local Masai guide Jackson Looseyia, joins Simon King and Jonathan Scott at their camp next to the Mara River as we follow the dramatic and compelling stories of the lions, leopards and cheetahs familiar to the Big Cat series as well as the supporting cast of hyenas, elephants, hippos and others. Once again the Marsh pride of lions is never far from the action - including breathtaking hunting scenes and a nail-biting elephant stand-off. Cheetah mum Shakira struggles to keep all five of her gorgeous cubs alive, and the 'Jackson Five', three generations of leopards, are a constant source of excitement and adventure. With its groundbreaking filming techniques this Big Cat Special takes us on an emotional, action-packed journey through the heart of Wild Africa - while the bonus episode Tamu's Story tells the moving tale of a lioness who. cast out from the Marsh pride, is forced to hunt and raise her cubs alone. - Actors:
