Chasing Nature is an American reality television series in which engineering students design and construct an apparatus that mimics an animal's own capability – on a human scale – in less than one week.

The series premiered in the USA on Animal Planet in 2005.

Chasing Nature premieres in South Africa on Animal Planet on Saturday 26 January 2007, at 18h00.

Synopsis

From the producers of Discovery Channel’s popular show Mythbusters, Animal Planet brings you this all-new, action-packed series, Chasing Nature.

The show demands the United States' best and brightest engineering students to design and construct an apparatus that mimics an animal's own amazing capability – on a human scale – in less than one week.

Hosted by Kamal Sidhu, each episode of Chasing Nature features a new group of students, along with a new challenge.

Can the students catch a 22-kilo metal fly in a giant 12-metre-tall spider web? Can they build a scorpion tail on the back of a high-speed vehicle that can sting fleeing prey? Can they build an apparatus that allows them to swing like a great ape across a 30-metre chasm?

The series will find out if these amazing creations will be able to match what took nature millions of years to perfect.
