In the Kalahari Desert the team put cameras on wild meerkats for the first time, allowing scientists to finally understand what these miniature mammals get up to underground.

Episode 2
In Namibia, wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan joins a cheetah conservationist who wants to see if three orphaned cheetahs, who she has raised from a day old, can learn to hunt effectively in the thick vegetation. The on-board cameras, the first to ever be worn by cheetahs hunting in Africa, give the team an amazing first-hand view. In Australia, the team put cameras on fur seals to try to see how they hunt their prey and avoid attacks by great white sharks. And in South Africa, the team deploy the first-ever cameras on wild baboons in an effort to understand why these clever monkeys sometimes raid farmers' crops. The cameras give a remarkable insight into the shy baboons' lives, showing intimate scenes of sunbathing and grooming.
Episode 3
In the last of this captivating series, Gordon and the team of scientists continue to make extraordinary discoveries about the lives of some of the planet's most fascinating species.
In the heart of the Atlantic Gordon joins a team of scientists who are keen to learn why a large number of devil rays, or ‘fish with wings', gather near the Azores archipelago every summer. The team deploys specially designed cameras which are towed behind the rays and can survive the crushing ocean depths. The cameras film breath-taking scenes of unborn ray pups kicking inside their mothers - a sign that this gathering might be a breeding ground for these mysterious ocean giants.
