Tonight's documentary in the Wildlife on 6 series takes a fascinating look at the animals of Siberia. Award-winning filmmakers, Chiara and Luca Colucci, spent six months in the far east of Russia looking for the rare Siberian tiger. There are only about 300 of these beautiful animals in the wild. With the help of a baby fox cub they found early on the trip, the Coluccis explore the beautiful River Amur region in their search for the tiger. An unforgettable journey and an unforgettable film.
