Built for the Kill

The world's deadliest animals are not natural born killers. They enter a world full of danger, and race to develop the skills needed to overcome prey with fatal precision. Lions, polar bears, great white sharks, and crocodiles need years of practice to hone their hunting skills to become the most feared killers on the planet. Built for the Kill compares the abilities of top predators both on land and sea. Different predators in different worlds, but all have one thing in common. They're built for the kill.
