S42 E6 - 30s
In Canada, a walnut-sized turtle ventures through a forest of giants, dodging huge trucks along the highway. The newly hatched turtle is in search of the lake where she will spend the next 50 years of her life. In South Africa, a young bushbaby is expelled by his family and must journey into the unknown to find a new home. He is drawn toward the lights of the human world in the city of Pretoria.

How Nocturnal Bush Babies Survive at Night

How We Film Tiny Animals | Behind the Scenes
S42 E6 - 7m 32s
The Big Little Journeys team employs various filming techniques to follow the journeys of two very different animals. New probe lenses and motion control systems are used to see the world from the perspective of a walnut-sized turtle and follow its journey through a Canadian woodland. In South Africa night vision cameras and gyrostabilized cranes are used to keep pace with a nocturnal bush baby.
