Big Cat Week is a documentary show that first aired in January 2004 on BBC television. It is a continuation of Big Cat Diary, a near identical show that aired in the 90s. The documentary is set in the Masai Mara and follows the adventures of big cats. Normally each year they have a lion pride, a cheetah and a leopard. The series is set in the Masai Mara. The reason the Mara is such a great place for a documentary is because of the great migration. This means there will be a lot of hunting for the animals they film and also a greater chance of survival.
