The team uncover the hidden lives of three animals; in the Kalahari Desert they put cameras on wild meerkats; in Cameroon, Gordon and scientist Mimi Swift look at a four-year-old orphan chimp; in Argentina, penguins carry cameras far out to sea.

Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan leads a team of animal camera experts as they join forces with scientists to put cameras on animals. In Namibia, the team film a trio of orphaned Cheetahs learning how to hunt by themselves. In Australia, the cameras reveal how Fur Seals manage to escape the jaws of Great White Sharks lurking offshore in order to feed and raise their young. In South Africa, we help local farmers find ways of preventing the resident Chacma Baboons from raiding their crop fields.
