The Persistence Hunt

My favorite moment from the excellent ‘Life of Mammals’ series presented by Sir David Attenborough. It shows how the San people of the Kalahari desert overtake their prey by out-running them down to complete exhaustion.  The San are the last people on earth who still hunt this way.  Enjoy.

You can read more about persistence hunting in the excellent ‘Born to Run’ by Christopher McDougall.
