The Bank Holiday repeat of Pets: Wild At Heart narrated by David Tennant continues on BBC One at 4.40pm BST. The two part animal documentary, a co-production between John Downer Productions and PBS/WNET uses innovative techniques to reveal the incredible secrets of your pets' behaviour in ways never seen before.
Pets: Wild At Heart - Secretive Creatures
Take another walk on the wild side with our favourite pets.
Extraordinary photography reveals their hidden senses and secret communication
skills. Dogs take a car trip through Paris, using their legendary sense of
smell to show us a very different city. A hamster uses his remarkable senses to
stage a great escape and then deploys more navigational talents to find his way
home. Cats become intoxicated on the scent of a plant and suffer the consequences.
A budgie shows his hidden charms to his mate as, under UV
light, his crown and cheeks positively glow. Goldfish reveal secret senses that
can detect the slightest water movement. A guinea pig gives birth and the
newborns receive surprising care from their father. In South America, where
guinea pigs have lived with people for 7,000 years, they express the true
meaning of their entertaining calls.
When we groom a horse we speak their language, but horses
use ears to communicate in ways that we are rarely aware of. In Japan, cats
show their secret messages and in Peru dogs reveal the hidden signs that allow
them to communicate across a city.
Packed with extraordinary facts and wild behaviour - you'll
never look at your pet in the same way again.
