It would be an awesome show, a 9.0, except that the producers censored the best parts: the real fights for territory and the kills. I don't understand why bc they show them after the kill gorging themselves. I admire the leopards the most: they're sleek and agile, make their own kills and they're solitary, while the lions main source of food seems to be kills they steal from the leopards or hyenas.
