00:00We wanted to film tigers at night. India forbids all filming at night of tigers, but Bardia,

00:07which is just down the road from Chitwan and Nepal, they said they would let us try and

00:11film tigers at night.

00:13Despite the fact that most tigers are nocturnal, they've never been filmed at night before,

00:18so this is a bit of an experiment.

00:22By 7pm, the waxing moon is now the only illumination over the grasslands.

00:30This is where the new technology comes in.

00:34We have a super-sensitive starlight camera, which can see in moonlight, perhaps as well

00:40as a tiger.

00:43We also have a thermal camera which detects the heat from animal bodies.

00:50A group of deer have gathered where the grass is short, and where they can see what's going on.

00:57It's sister two again.

01:06The deer can see her perfectly well.

01:14To my knowledge, this is the first time a tiger has ever been filmed in moonlight.

01:38She makes her way towards the sound on a small deer track.

01:50At her eye level, she can barely see the deer, but of course she can hear them.

01:57The deer can just see her, their heads are higher.

02:05We also have amazing high-resolution camera traps placed on various trails around the tower.

02:14The deer seem surprisingly relaxed.

02:20Now the tiger turns onto a rhino trail in a gully out of sight.

02:27She ups her pace to cover some ground quickly.

02:35When she emerges at the other end, it's as if the deer were expecting her.
