In this episode, camera operator Peter Coleman captures the power of an African elephant with the 70mm IMAX film format. But the footage nearly costs him his life when the elephant charges his truck. When Peter sees his shadow on the elephant's trunk, he knows he's way too close!

In the Canadian Arctic, filmmaker Adam Ravetch is filming polar bears, but he's left helpless when one of the bears attacks his Inuit guide.

Finally, camera operator Sophie Darlington films lions in Africa, but it's the African buffalo that takes issue.
