There are more Caribou in Alaska than people! Across the Arctic, they're the lifeblood of many remote communities. But human expansion, and wild predators, have led to their rapid decline. Out on the tundra, Caribou are the prey of choice for Alaska's carnivores, and at a ranch on the edge of Anchorage, the reindeer are at constant risk from the area's wolves and brown bears. The people of Anchorage have vowed to protect them, but will their help be enough for the Caribou to survive?

One of Alaska's most secretive and efficient predators, Lynx are usually highly elusive... but in Anchorage, houses are being built in the Lynx's territory, forcing these usually shy big cats, to find new ways to survive on the streets.

In this wild city, can people live side by side with Alaska's deadliest big cat?
