Land of the Tiger

Episode 8 of 8

We take a trip through the natural history archives with some of the 麻豆社鈥檚 favourite wildlife presenters as they share their most memorable adventures across India, Bhutan and Bangladesh.

麻豆社 wildlife presenters look back at their adventures across India, Bhutan and Bangladesh.

Liz Bonnin remembers a remarkable morning migration by thousands of cranes to the small village of Khichan in Rajasthan. Colin Stafford-Johnson recounts his time filming tigers in India and forming a special relationship with the boisterous cub Brokentail.

Chris Packham looks back on a tiger-spotting trip to Bangladesh, which lead to 鈥榦ne of the worst views of an animal he鈥檇 ever had, and yet somehow the best!鈥� Liz shares a memorable encounter in the Western Ghats, where she visited the locals trying to preserve the rare lion-tailed macaque.

Finally, Steve Backshall and Gordon Buchanan recall an expedition looking for tigers in the mountains of Bhutan. Although they saw a great many animals, including a red fox, a lammergeier, bears and even a snow leopard, there was no trace of a tiger population - until, after a gruelling trek, Gordon made a sudden and dramatic discovery.
