Tiger - Spy in the Jungle

Post by Fat Bob » 19th Apr, '08, 10:15

Just watching the 1st episode, and no, this isn't about a rugby team heading to the ungle in a training exercise.

David Attenborough narrates an extrordinary feat in camera work where elephants are used to place various cameras (trunk cam, tusk cam and log cam so far) around a tiger enclosure, keeping tabs on a new family of tiger cubs. The cameras capture other animals (monkeys are, as per normal, are very inquisitive!) as well as the tigers, and, well, no ne does natural history like the Beeb, especially with David Attenborough.

The cubs in their early life are quite amusing. So is the monkey peeing on the tiger!

Well worth watching if the first half is anything to go by

But...but ...did the nasy leopard catch them or did they outwit him?

Ah, guess that would constitute a spoiler, eh ? ;)

What does a nasy leopard look like? Must say, some leopard cubs as well.....I like big cats, but tigers have gotta be my fave! Though lions also are pretty cool.
