Épisodes
Episode 1
In this episode, we explore "hunting", that is, how animals across the globe manage to prey on others or evade predators. Nature has devised a wide array of strategies, tailored to different environments: forests, deserts, savannas, and oceans.
Episode 2
Polar bears, wolves, and foxes contend with the long winter of the Arctic Circle, featured in a documentary from a new BBC series dedicated to the world of predators. Also in this episode: what does it take to become a pilot of the high-tech Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet?
Episode 3
The extraordinary footage from the BBC documentary opens the third episode, showing hunters and predators in action within coastal habitats. Other topics include a discussion on the risks and benefits of vaccines.
Episode 4
Prey and predators—stunning BBC footage takes us into the ocean, where fish, birds, mammals, and cetaceans all compete for the delicacies the waters have to offer. Also featured is an extraordinary discovery that promises to provide researchers with incredibly precise "molecular scissors" for "cutting and pasting" DNA.
Episode 5
In this episode: the BBC documentary titled "Open Cards" explores the complex balance between predators and prey, a balance that can only be maintained by those who know how to create the best opportunities for themselves. We travel to the Canary Islands to discover the indigenous Guanche people. Plus, a new perspective on lymphatic vessels and their role in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis.
Episode 6
The sixth episode of SuperQuark will begin with a fascinating nature documentary about hunting in a dense, heavily forested environment, where spotting prey is no easy task.
Episode 7
The seventh episode of SuperQuark will open with a nature film produced by the BBC; the documentary will be dedicated to the most dangerous of all predators, a predator that cameras never capture: man.
Episode 8
For the final episode of SuperQuark, we present the last documentary from the BBC series The Hunt, which has been with us throughout the summer. It is a rather unique episode, as it reveals what went on behind the scenes during the filming of the series.
