Documentary following the lives of two generations of big cats during the fleeting wet season in arid Botswana. This is an intimate portrayal of lion and cheetah families pushed to the edge by nature's raw power - eight weeks' of heavy rainfall - and only those that can adapt will survive.

500 lbs of pure predator, three-inch long canines and retractable claws like switchblades. Big cats areamong the fiercest four legged beasts on the planet - capable of taking down fleet-footed antelope, two tonne elephants and even human beings.NGT takes you inside the world's biggest cats - lions and tigers - to unlock the secrets of these maximum predators. New science will deconstruct the engineering of these legendary man-eaters, revealing what they are capable of, and what they're really after.Using CGI we'll peel back the layers of these top predators. A 360° CT scan of a big cat's head and jaws, plus actual dissections, reveal new insights into their engineering, sensory systems and intelligence. Archive footage and recreation of documented attacks on humans will propel us into the science and mechanics of these big predators - revealing how they think, how they work, how they hunt, and what makes them the rulers of the landscape.Crawling through Africa, we'll stalk, capture and reveal the physique, teeth, claws and ambush tactics of big Cats. GPS tracking devices will show how much land - and prey - these predators need to survive. We'll reveal their maximum appetite (over 50 pounds of meat at one sitting) and the lions' unique 'team approach' to hunting.And we'll investigate a case in Tanzania where cats have hunted humans. We'll also reveal the newly discovered ways that big cats kill. The brutish stereotype is wrong - they kill with the pinpoint accuracy of an assasin, not the clumsiness of a butcher - and we'll compare a shock troop of lions to the lone stealth of a tiger and reveal which extreme predator truly deserves the title of 'Super Cat'.
