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.
Each episode is based in one of the planet’s key habitats – each of which presents the predators and their prey with key challenges. The seventh episode takes a look at the state of our planet through the eyes of the top predators and the scientists and conservationists who are fighting to protect them.
The Hunt debuted on British television on 1 November 2015, broadcast on BBC One and BBC One HD, which consisted of total seven episodes.
The series was broadcast internationally on BBC Earth channel, while are few exceptions for some countries.
