Big cat populations are shrinking fast, but now we have the means to view them in more detail than ever. This series looks at seven different members of the big cat family from around the world, from the tigers of Asia to the jaguars of South America.

In this unprecedented series, recent scientific discoveries shed new light on the extraordinary prehistory of big cats and their ascent to world domination.

Brand-new night vision systems, super slow-motion cameras, and cutting-edge computer-generated imagery of a bygone age take us on a tantalising trail of evidence to answer these questions, revealing incredible and surprising stories of the world’s most charismatic predators: the big cats.
