Coming Soon: Spy in the Wild, A NATURE mini-series
This most innovative series employs more than 50 animatronic "spy cameras" disguised as animals to secretly record behavior in the wild. Featured robotic look-alikes will infiltrate the natural world to film surprisingly human-like behavior, such as chimps that keep pets; dolphins that bear gifts; meerkat babysitters; birds that try to impress the females; and much more.
