CBBC: Natural Born Hunters

CBBC Monday 15th February, 8am
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qzkx3

A fresh look at some of the most supreme predators in the animal kingdom, looking at how some of the most lethal creatures in the wild survive a typical day - relying on their instincts, speed, and tactics is often not enough, and luck can mean the difference between life and death.


A cheetah, a dragonfly and a peregrine falcon go head-to-head in race to eat. The first to get his or her daily intake of food is the winner. The three contenders have one thing in common - when it comes to hunting they all use speed to help catch their prey. The cheetah is the fastest land mammal reaching speeds of 71mph, the dragonfly is the fastest insect with a top speed of 35mph and the peregrine falcon can fly at over 200mph making it the fastest animal on earth ever.

It's action all the way, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure, in a typical hunting day in the lives of these natural born hunters. Steve Backshall and Barney Harwood commentate on the action as it happens.

Steve Backshall (and his muscles) are back with Deadly 60

DEADLY 60, starts Thursday 28th May at 5:15pm on CBBC.

STEVE Backshall is back … in his most daring adventure to date. He’s travelling six continents to find his Deadly 60. A journey to find the creatures that others spend a life time avoiding! (Is Backshall doing a bit of an Irwin?)

...and in case you'd miss the subtleties of this macho-fest he'll probably also be taking his shirt off every few minutes to give you a gym-pumped muscle shot.
