Wildlife Special: Serpent
- Synopsis
- Available for the first time on DVD, these Wildlife Specials are masterpieces of expertise and innovation, each narrated by David Attenborough. Award winning cameramen use revolutionary filming techniques, backed by the latest scientific research, and each DVD features one of nature’s superstars, revealing aspects of its life that have never been seen before. Close up and startling photography brings these animals closer to us than ever before their private worlds captured on film in greater detail and more vividly.
Snakes are traditionally thought of as predictably scaly, slithery, primitive and an enemy of man. But the truth is they have a range of behaviour more bizarre and astonishing than almost any other group of animals. One of the most successful species on earth, it is also one of the least documented.
Miniaturised cameras reveal the snakes’ world for the first time from their point of view. Head mounted cameras capture gripping images of the world’s most dangerous snakes hunting and overcoming their prey. Using high speed photography, x ray imaging and state of the art computer graphics, this is the most ambitious look at snakes attempted in television. - Language
