Nature – Legendary Tigers of India
Ranthambore National Park in northern India is known for its spectacular wildlife and, specifically, its magnificent tigers and these big cats have an extraordinary story to tell. Once hunted by Queen Elizabeth II, then protected by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, these tigers have grown from a group of twelve terrified cats into a fearless clan 70-odd strong. Their territory is a set of lakes at the base of an ancient fort, rich with prey. For the last half-century, one man has followed, photographed and filmed them: the world's leading tiger expert, Valmik Thapar. Thapar has collated his archive, together with that of family and friends, to tell the definitive story of this tiger dynasty for the first time. Their rich history will open the world's eyes to the secret life of the tiger. (Additional airings: 4/23 3:30 PM, 4/24 2:30 AM, 4/26 1:00 AM)
