The Natural World (BBC 1983 - 2012): Leopard- A Darkness in the Grass  (1986)

This programme monitors the extraordinary and hazardous events in the daily life of a leopard and her cubs. It shows her wariness of elephants, a clash with a cheetah for possession of prey, and the threat from lions that could easily kill her cubs. The film shows that even this powerful predator takes part in the continual struggle for life. Leopard- A Darkness in the Grass won the 1988 Wild Film History Special award.
