The wild dogs

Superquark – Season 26

In this fifth episode, the BBC nature documentary takes us to India, to the Bandhavgarh Wildlife Refuge. Thanks to its dense jungle, ponds, and abundant prey, it's the perfect habitat for one of the most fascinating felines: the tiger. The reserve is home to more than 80 tigers. Raj Bhera is one of them. She recently became a mother of four cubs. BBC cameras followed her for 220 days, observing her as she patrols the territory to defend its borders and prepares to hunt just a short distance from her den to feed and protect her young.
