Voice from television: The arctice hare is almost invisible against the snowy landscape. Too late for his powerful legs to propel him from danger, the hare becomes a meal for the hungry fox. High on the slopes, a young mountain goat jumps sure-footedly along the craggy hillside. In flawless motion, the cougar lands, claws extended. Razor sharp teeth close down... April: Wow, you're like, walking along, minding your own business an' suddenly WHAM! You become somebody's lunch!! I would so not want to be a wild animal! Boy: Animals prey on other animals 'cause it's the only way to survive, April. An' for no good reason at all, humans prey on each other! The hare has found a small patch of edible foliage. The stealthy fox moves closer... downwind and hidden by the limbs of a fallen tree a cougar waits in silence.
