The hunt trailer bbc one
The Hunt is a 2015 British nature documentary series made for BBC television, first shown in the UK on BBC One and BBC One HD on 1 November 2015. It is narrated by David Attenborough. The series looks in detail at the relationship between predators and their prey. Rather than concentrating on ‘the blood and guts’ of predation, it also focuses on the strategies predators use to catch their food and prey use to escape death.
