The Secret Lives of Animals is Apple’s third collaboration with the BBC’s Natural History Unit, following the award-nominated Prehistoric Planet and The Year Earth Changed.
The series took three years to film, spans 24 countries, and documents 77 species. Here is Apple with some more details:
“The Secret Lives of Animals” utilizes cutting-edge technology to showcase new and remarkable animal behaviors. For the first time, “The Secret Lives of Animals” captures the sounds and vibrations of a unique jumping spider courtship dance, a killifish in Trinidad breathing through its tail when out of the water, and a wood mouse marking its territory with signposts. Witness a rarely seen relationship between a frog and a tarantula, a land lizard that can breathe underwater, and a monkey that uses a bizarre nose-poking ritual as a test of friendship. Each episode focuses on specific behaviors that are pivotal in the life cycles of various animals — from birth and leaving home to raising a family, and from finding food to growing old — highlighting their striking intelligence and adaptability.”
