ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Deep within the frozen forests of Russia's Far East lies one of the last true wildernesses on Earth. For fourteen years, one wildlife biologist had dedicated his life to protecting the critically endangered Siberian tiger. He had safely captured and released nearly seventy of these elusive predators. He knew their behavior. He understood their instincts. He respected their power. Then one October morning, everything he thought he knew was put to the ultimate test. A routine check of a remote trap line, a low growl echoing through the trees, a 400-pound tiger that wasn't supposed to be able to move, and in the blink of an eye, the hunter became the hunted. What happens when one of nature's most powerful predators charges at thirty miles an hour? This is the incredible true story of a man who came face-to-face with one of the most feared predators on Earth and lived to tell the tale. Join us as we step into the forests of Primorsky Krai, where every shadow could hide an apex predator and one split-second decision meant the difference between life and death.
