Caught in the Act: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Caught in the Act presents amateur and professional filmmakers always on the lookout for wildlife in its natural environment. Every now and again, something incredible happens – a lion ‘murders' a hyena, a great white shark gracefully leaps out of the ocean, a baby hippo miraculously escapes the jaws of death – and somehow, someone captures that unbelievable instant on film.

Each episode is a hodgepodge of daring rescues, competitions over food, maternal instincts, dramatic battles and tragic endings.
