Natural Born Rebels

Meet the animals who will steal, cheat, and fight to get food, including kleptomaniac crabs, thieving macaques, con artist spiders, tricky tigers, and cannibalistic lizards.

Some animals will do whatever it takes to survive. Cockatoos turn to vandalism, boxer crabs hold anemones hostage, sloths become filthy, puff adders have an “invisibility cloak” to hide themselves, and chimps use violence to stay in power.

Getting ahead in the mating game requires some astonishing behavior - from promiscuous prairie dogs, to manakin pick-up artists, kidnapping macaques, and hyenas with a bad case of sibling rivalry.
