Survival with Ray Mears
Series Overview
Survival with Ray Mears is a 3 part television series hosted by Ray Mears, as he tracks predators in their natural habitats.

Survival consists of three, hour-long, programmes, focusing on Mears' tracking of the world's top predators. He follows the leopard in Namibia, the bear in British Columbia, and the wolf in Central Idaho.
