Animals become wildlife cinematographers when they are fitted with lightweight, specially designed cameras in this two-part series that features turtles, sharks, koalas, bats, kangaroos and more. Our animal "camera specialists" reveal behavior new to scientists and insights into conservation.
Witness how sharks glide through the algae-covered coral tunnels to sneak up on prey and discover why koalas go on a dangerous midnight run to search for the perfect tree. By better understanding the private lives of endangered animals, we can improve our efforts to save them and their habitats. Hosted by wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan.

VIDEO USAGE RIGHTS
Why the AV version? Because it provides additional usage options for PBS videos. AV versions come with limited performance rights so they can be shown in classrooms, at PTA meetings, during after school programs, and transmitted on a closed-circuit system within a building or on a single campus. They also can be enjoyed in admission-free public screenings, which also makes them ideal for use by library patrons and businesses involved in community clubs and organizations.
