The acclaimed second season of the award-winning wildlife documentary comes to BBC Earth in Canada tonight, bringing an up close and personal look at creatures around the world in their natural habitats. The series, narrated by David Tennant, uses over 50 innovative animatronic animal spy cameras to get into the heart of animal communities and reveal some never before seen behaviours. Watch from 9pm ET/PT, with repeats on Tuesday at 8pm and Saturday at 11pm. New episodes will follow weekly.
Season 2 Episode 1: The Tropics
Our Spy Creatures investigate the extraordinary wildlife
that thrives in the tropics and the events and gatherings that happen across
the year.
For the first time, our Spy Creatures record how gorillas
sing when they are enjoying their meals, and in a comical moment they
experience the noisy after-effects of their vegetarian diet. In Brazil, Spy
Jaguar Cub explores a beautiful gathering of water birds, capybara and caiman,
and joins Spy Caiman to film a feeding frenzy as its wild counterparts go
fishing. In Costa Rica, Spy Turtle and Spy Vulture gain an insider’s view of
the spectacular turtle arribada as thousands jostle for a place on the beach to
lay their eggs. In Zambia, Spy Hippo takes us into the heart of a hippo pod,
and is too close for comfort as it films a dramatic fight.
Spy Dolphin and a host of other Spy Creatures, such as Spy
Monkey, Spy Sloth and Spy Macaw, take us into the mysterious world of the
Amazon’s flooded forest, and in northern Australia, Spy Bat becomes immersed in
a nursery of little red flying foxes and joins them on the wing as they risk
getting snapped up by hungry freshwater crocodiles. Spy Orangutan returns to
Borneo to investigate the extraordinary bulbous-nosed proboscis monkey and some
curious orangutans. In incredible scenes, Spy Baby Elephant uncovers the secret
world of pygmy forest elephants, and in a thrilling finale, Spy Penguin and Spy
Seal join Humboldt penguins as they bravely navigate thousands of angry sea
lions as they try to return to their hungry chicks.
Spy In The Wild is a co-production by John Downer
Productions, the BBC Natural History Unit and PBS.
