TIGERS are one of the most beautiful and mysterious creatures on Earth. Their name alone evokes a sense of strength, danger, and savagery. Through many centuries, humans have been fascinated by them--the largest of the great cats. Once roaming freely throughout Asia and into Africa, the world's population of wild tigers has declined to only slightly more than 5,000 due to the enormous destruction of wild places over the past hundred years. Watch and learn as the tiger stalks, chases, and attacks its prey. Gentler moments, such as the playful antics of young cubs under the watchful protection of their mothers, are also included.

Recognized as a symbol of strength by the peoples of many cultures for thousands of years, their place in nature is no less striking. As a fierce and powerful predator, the lion is one of the dominate animals of the African savannas and great plains. It is distinguished by its strong body, cooperative hunting skills, ferocious attack, and mighty roar.

Held together by bonds of mutual trust, pride members become killing teams that fully cooperate in the tracking, stalking, and taking of prey.

A hobo in the Depression, he fell into movie acting after stints as a boxer, a beach bum and a songwriter. Despite early Hollywood successes, he was famously busted on a narcotics rap. But even prison couldn't tame Mitchum's taste for lving on the wild side, and he remained an unrepentant misbehaver until the end of his days.
