National Geographic LIVE: On the Trail of Big Cats

  • Venue—Duncan-Williams Performance Hall 1801 Exeter Road Germantown (map)

From the front lines to your front door! National Geographic Live gives you behind-the-scenes stories fresh from the forefront of exploration. This interactive speaker series includes a Q&A session and an opportunity to meet the explorer.

Go around the world in search of big cats with award-winning photographer Steve Winter. A determined explorer, Winter will lead you from Asian jungles where resilient tiger populations persist, to the Himalaya, home of the rare snow leopard. Follow him into the rain forests of Latin America to view the elusive jaguar—and to Hollywood in pursuit of the American cougar. He’ll share both dangerous and lighter moments: from getting stuck in quicksand to mishaps with remote-controlled cameras. Co-author of the National Geographic book Tigers Forever, Winter endeavors to share the beauty of big cats while working to save them.
