| Summary |
Volume 1. The new frontiers. Deep in the Sumatran jungle, special infrared cameras are used to film the Sumatran tiger in the wild for the very first time. In the Congo, elephants are tracked using a mobile phone-like device and in Zambia, special thermal lenses show us the largest fruit bat migration on earth. And in Central America, high-speed video reveals one of the fastest movements in the animal kingdom and that Michael Jackson's moonwalk lives on in the forest. |
|
Volume 2. Monsters of the forest. In Peru, an expert searches for a legendary spider so ig that it preys on chickens from local farms. And with help from a miniature camera, scientists also stumble on the bullet ant, which delivers the most painful sting in the insect kingdom and the wandering spider, the most dealy in the world. |
|
Volume 3. The beast within. An Italian primatologist looks for ways to gain the trust of lowland gorillas in the Congo. She's been told it's impossible, but she aims to get them so used to her they will let her sit near them. In Brazil, capuchin monkeys are discovered for the first time using rocks as tools. |
