***Hippo Spa*** - Robotic Spy Hippo Up Close With One of Africa's Most Dangerous Animals!
Рет қаралды 89,771
3 жыл бұрынRobot Spy Hippo has to be careful approaching one of Africa's most dangerous animals...the hippo!
Hippos spend most of their time beneath the water surface so Spy Hippo joins them to discover dozens of barbel fish surrounding the hippos. Hippos are covered in cuts and scratches from fights. The barbels then feed on the parasites that can invade these cuts.

Clip from programme 3 'Friendship' of our BBC, PBS/THIRTEEN Productions LLC series Spy in the Wild.
Narrated by David Tennant
Music by Will Gregory
Directed by John Downer
In one of the most innovative natural history series ever presented, Spy in the Wild deploys over 30 ultra-realistic animatronic Spy Creatures to go undercover in the animal world. This 5 x 60’ BBC One series captures unique animal behaviour closer than ever before.
Using special “spy cameras” invented by film maker John Downer’s team at John Downer Productions, the viewer is plunged into the very heart of the extraordinary lives of over thirty fascinating animals across the world, including langurs, orang-utans, meerkats and crocodiles, revealing behaviour that is remarkably like our own. To expose some of the most astonishing animal behaviour ever seen, the team of Spy Creatures go undercover.
These robotic look-alikes make all the right moves to not only be accepted by animals but also interact with them, providing revelatory insights into their world.
In this four part series, each episode is packed with a menagerie of animatronic Spy Creatures exploring the different aspects of animal behaviour: Love, Intelligence, Friendships and Mischief.
The innovative techniques and ambition of the BBC One series are documented in the fifth “Making Of” episode, where we see the creation of the Spy Creatures and witness their first magical moves before being deployed around the world; from deserts and rainforests to the Polar Regions.

Is the relationship between the hippo and the fish ever recorded before? I watched a lot of documentaries and this is the first time I seen it. I wonder if spy hippo is the first to document such behaviour, that would be awesome.
