Descriptions of each of the programs included are below.

Elsa's Legacy - Behind the wildly popular "Born Free" book and movie lies the real story of the orphaned lion cub, Elsa, raised by George and Joy Adamson before being released back into the wild. Now, a rare glimpse into the diaries, home movies, and detailed records the couple kept reveals an intimate look at their pioneering work and our appreciation for the animal kingdom.

Revealing the Leopard - Leopards are very clever cats. Around the world, as lions and tigers are disappearing, leopards adapt and thrive. They live among us, hunting from Africa to Siberia, from Arabia to Beijing, yet they remain almost completely unseen. Rare and intimate footage of a mother and her cubs reveals what it means to be a leopard in the modern world.

Siberian Tiger Quest - Only one individual has ever filmed Siberian tigers in the wild. Ecologist Chris Morgan ("Bears of the Last Frontier") joins Korean cameraman Sooyong Park in the forests of the far eastern Russian frontier to learn Park's techniques and to fulfill his lifelong dream to do the same. Park's remarkable footage of these creatures hunted almost to extinction is a highlight of the film.

The White Lions - White lions are among the rarest and most treasured animals in the world, though their ghostly color is both a blessing and a curse due to their high visibility. Follow the story of two remarkable white lion cubs as they struggle for survival on the savanna.
