Lion Gangland

2014 · 44 min

You watch raw savanna life up close, tense and awe-struck, with death always a breath away and clever gadgets peeking in.

Overview
The Serengeti is one of the most brutal environments on the planet. It's also home to the tough Vumbi lion pride. Using ground-breaking new tools (including a lion-proof peeping Tom robot), National Geographic explorers Michael "Nick" Nichols and Nathan Williamson embed with the lions to reveal a never-before-seen view into a world with razor thin margins between life and death.
