In the jungle, it is kill or be killed. The food chain has no dominant species. Martin Fuller and his crew were just another pack of humans fighting for their lives. Even though they may not have known it, they were not the ones stalking the beasts; the beasts were stalking them. Fuller and his crew of native guides, biologists, and camera operators were deep in the Congo. It was their second week in the scorching hot African jungle.
