A new BBC Bristol series, presented by Steve Leonard, makes use of the latest in spy technology to find out more about wild animals. The six-part series - Animal Camera - features satellite telemetry, low light cameras and acoustic imagers which hear sounds inaudible to humans. Camera technology includes thermal imaging, ultra slow motion, miniaturised and terahertz cameras and, in one episode, tiny cameras are strapped to peregrine falcons and goshawks. Another episode, set in the jungle, employs giant radio towers to provide footage of ocelots, sloths and agoutis. The series will go out on BBC1 at the end of the month.
