Plot Synopsis

CARPATHIAN PREDATORS is a two-part documentary that explores the wildlife of Europe's Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathian Mountains -- stretching from the Czech Republic to Romania -- is a place where humans live by tradition and share the land with giants. This two-parter navigates the rugged European landscape, where humans have adapted to coexist with fearsome predators that still roam wild. Here, every animal is a predator and prey. The special will focus on two creatures, the Eurasian brown bear and wolf, as they learn how to navigate life in this vital refuge. CARPATHIAN PREDATORS made its linear television debut in the United States on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 at 8pm ET/PT on Smithsonian Channel.
