For the first time, our cameras capture unique footage of tiger cubs just a few days old as they tumble from a den and are returned, gently cradled in their mother’s huge, deadly jaws.

They’re even starting to consider the elephants as possible playmates – especially as an elephant’s tail to a tiger is like a piece of string to a kitten.

The Amur is the longest border river in human history: Over a stretch of two thousand kilometres, it separates two superpowers, Russia and China. In China, the meandering Amur is called the Black Dragon. Ferries cross between the only two cities along the Amur's middle course, Blagoveshensk and Heihe, but not a single bridge links the countries. The border land along the Amur and some of its tributaries offer sanctuary to wildlife, and it's also the border situation that has, so far, kept the Amur free of hydro-electric dams.

The Amur is not just a river -- it's a sprawling network of thousands of tributaries, wetlands and lakes, a river system of continental scale, all funneled into a single gigantic channel spilling one million olympic pools of water, sediment and nutrients into the Pacific Ocean, day after day. The Amur thus nurtures one of the earth's richest seas. It's the massive clouds drifting back inland from the Pacific that have kept the Amur River's myriad tributaries flowing for millions of years. And it is from here, the Amur's estuary on the wild and rugged coast of Russia's Far East, that we set out on an epic upstream journey.

This requires cooperative hunting - a behavior rarely seen amongst these canids – and therefore social and communication skills. Some jackals succeed, other become scavengers, or die.
