Nature: Season 31, Episode 1

31 - 1: Siberian Tiger Quest

In the Season 31 premiere, biologist Chris Morgan travels to the forests of eastern Russia to meet wildlife filmmaker Sooyong Park, who achieved something remarkable: recording endangered Siberian tigers in their natural habitat. The majestic beasts were not willing subjects, mind you; it took Park years before he glimpsed even one. That was King Big, a 500-pound male; others included Bloody Mary and her cubs. After hearing Park's tales, Morgan sets out to find and film the elusive cats himself.
