Tiger quest

Tigers are undeniably captivating, but capturing them on film does pose real problems. In the early days of television, broadcasters relied on zoo animals to get the perfect shot, but filming tigers in the wild remains a challenge even today. Innovative and creative methods are constantly being devised to film the most ground-breaking and intimate footage. However, getting the perfect shot takes time, patience and a certain disregard for personal safety. If it wasn't for the dedication of the cameramen, scientists - and even the odd elephant - few of us would ever get to witness these elusive, powerful predators.
