National Geographic Live brings you behind-the-scenes stories and unforgettable imagery from world-renowned photographers, scientists, filmmakers, and adventurers—live on stage.
Filmmaker and National Geographic Fellow Sandesh Kadur first encountered a wild cat in his native India as a teenager. After sitting in a tree for hours under a full moon, a leopard walked directly under him. The experience sparked a fascination that led him to spend his career documenting the country’s unmatched diversity of wild cats.
With landscapes spanning the towering Himalayas, arid plains, and dense jungles, India is home to a wider array of wild cats than anywhere else. While many big cats are well known and thoroughly documented, photographer and filmmaker Sandesh Kadur is on a mission to highlight the country’s lesser-known felines to protect their future. Discover the tiny, grumpy-faced Pallas’s cat, the fishing cat that jumps into the water to catch its prey, and the ancient, elusive, clouded leopard. Join the National Geographic Live series to get an up-close look at a world of wild cats you’ve never seen before through Kadur’s captivating images and video.
