Big Cats With Nigel Marven
Pearl, 9.35pm
Fearless zoologist Nigel Marven (above) travels the globe to rub shoulders with the world's biggest and most ferocious felines. From the icy wastes of Siberia to the steamy jungles of India, Marven comes nose to nose with the most elusive and beautiful cats, including lions, Siberian tigers and African leopards.
As long as it roars and has claws, Marven is interested and gets closer to these rare and unpredictable predators than most wildlife presenters would dare. In temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius, he comes within a whisker of hungry Siberian tigers as they share a meal. In India, he tracks majestic Bengal tigers from the back of an elephant. And at night in Africa, he gets out of his Land Rover to stand nervously among a pride of 20 lions as they tear apart their dinner. So live vicariously through Marven and wonder at the natural beauty and ruthlessness of these magnificent beasts.
