Arlington, VA-January 8,
2019 - PBS Distribution announces the release of “NATURE: SUPER CATS” on DVD and Digital beginning January 8,
2019. Everyone is intrigued by big cats, but how much do we really know
about them? In “NATURE: SUPER CATS,” viewers
get a never before seen glimpse into
the lives of these wild creatures. Presented in three parts, this series
uncovers the secret lives of wild cats with groundbreaking technology, never
used before to film our feline friends.
Filmed over a span of 600 days in 14 different countries, this program
features 31 cat species, including the Iberian Lynx, the Margay from Central
and South America, and the deadliest cat of them all, Africa’s Black-Footed
Cat.
“SUPER CATS” will be available on
DVD (SRP $24.99) and digitally January 8, 2019.
“SUPER CATS” also reveals the
social sides…their complex communication, devoted parental care, courtship
rituals, hunting patterns and more. Remote cameras and low-light technology
help capture rare moments in the lives of wildcats including a swamp tiger
taking a bath in the sea, never before revealed on screen.
The three episodes included in “NATURE:
SUPER CATS” are: Extreme Lives, where we meet the planet’s
ultimate cats, including the Cheetah, the Snow Leopard, the Canada Lynx, and
the African Leopard. Using the latest
scientific research, we are exposed to the inner life of these cats like never
before. In episode two, Cats in Every Corner, we discover how cats
thrive in almost every landscape on earth from the wetlands of Asia to the
world’s oldest desert in Africa to the forest of Central America and in the
secluded beaches of California. Episode three, Science and Secrets, reveals
how new approaches and technologies are helping to uncover some of cats most
intimate secrets including the cheetah’s remarkable gymnastic abilities and why
lions are able to hunt so cooperatively.
Narrated by Oscar winning actor F. Murray Abraham, (“Amadeus”) “NATURE: SUPER CATS” unveils the
various lives these creatures lead from the solitary bachelor snow leopard in
the Himalayas to the elusive swamp tiger of South Asia. It follows exquisite
predators such as one exceptional Californian bobcat, blind in one eye yet able
to capture airborne prey.
Other programs
available from PBS Distribution include NATURE: BIG CATS, SHOW CATS, NATURE: THE STORY OF CATS, and INSIDE
NATURE’S GIANTS: BIG CATS
