Description
Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan and animal behaviorists join forces to explore stories of animal lives 'told' by the animals themselves. The series explores the secret side of the animal kingdom where human cameramen can't go, and camera-wearing animals film their own stories. Meerkats, penguins, a chimp, cheetahs, seals, baboons, devil rays, brown bears, and sheepdogs are the subjects of this series.
