Episode notes

Humans may be the world's top predator - but what happens when the tables are turned and we become the hunted.

For many people around the world, the feeling of being watched stalked or even eaten by a predator such as a big cat is a terrifying reality.

We're working to protect what wild cats we have left and even increase their numbers. But how do we balance this against the complexities of a world where increasingly people and predators live side by side.

In this episode, we'll hear from Professor Adam Hart, author of “The Deadly Balance: People & Predators in a Crowded World”, and explore the spine chilling topic of human predation by big cats and what the future holds as we continue to push into wildlife habitats.
