Survival With Ray Mears

Bushcraftsman Ray Mears applies his expertise in the wild to track down some of the world's deadliest predators, as ITV's flagship wildlife series returns for a new series. In this programme, he is in Nambia's scorching central highland plains, hoping to track down the reclusive leopard. He joins forces with the pioneering Global Leopard Project, which aims to promote understanding about these majestic creatures, and attempts to snare a dominant local male with the project's help. But will he succeed?

Bushcraft expert Ray Mears applies his expertise to tracking some of the world's deadliest predators. Today he is in Canada's beautiful Pacific Northwest coast, on the trail of the extremely rare white spirit bear. He starts his search in the remote Mussel Inlet, where he encounters grizzly bears feeding on salmon prior to hibernation. Realising that aggressive grizzly bears guard the best feeding spots ferociously and drive away smaller black bears, he moves to smaller inlets where he believes tracking black bears - who share a similar habitat to the spirit bear - will lead him to his quarry.

Bushcraftsman Ray Mears follows some of the world's most dangerous and beautiful wildlife. In this episode, he visits the magnificent Sawtooth mountain region of Central Idaho, which is a prime habitat for the notoriously secretive wolf. Ray tracks a large pack of these incredible predators, but he has only ten days before wolves are taken off the state's endangered species list and become prey to be hunted by humans.
