BBC Uses Creepy Animal Spy Cameras to Get Close-Up Shots of Wildlife

For its new nature documentary TV show, Spy in the Wild, BBC One deployed a wide range of spy cameras made to look like realistic animals. Using the creepy-looking robotic spies, the show was able to capture rare and impressive shots of wildlife up close.

As you can see, the spy camera creatures include wild dogs, monkeys, crocodiles, lemurs, prairie dogs, and more.

There are some episode preview clips that provide a glimpse into what the spy cams saw. When the crew placed a robotic spy monkey among a group of Langur monkeys, it was mistaken for a dead baby. The monkeys crowded around the lifeless baby langur camera and showed signs of grieving.

You can find the official page for the show on the BBC One website. The first 3 episodes so far in the 5 part series are titled “Love,” “Intelligence,” and “Friendship.”
