Robotic Spy Pup Takes Cover As Lion Attacks Wild Dogs!

Robotic Spy Pup Takes Cover As Lion Attacks Wild Dogs!

Clip from episode 1 'Love' of our BBC/PBS/THIRTEEN Productions LLC series Spy in the Wild.

Affection stengthens bonds for a family of wild dogs. Lions regard wild dogs as rivals. She will kill the pups if she can. Spy pup lays low and observes. The wild dog family try to divert the lion's attention from their precious pups...Will it work?

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.

When the Lioness came and the other pups ran away to hide, some pups look at the spy pup and some mother dogs silently barked the spy pup, it's like they're telling the spy pup to come with them but no, the spy pup stayed since, it is a spy pup.



I just love it, they accepted the spy pup

[AVIDSTINGRAYGAMING]

*Lion sees spy puppy
Lion:- "Wth, u should be scared of me"
Spy puppy:- 🗿
Lion :- "Children these days"

[drmurr_]

That mom who went close to the Lion is cool af. She risked her life for her pups.

[newhorizon]

I'd die laughing if SpyPup chased after lion.

[Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Lion: “Aren’t you gonna... run or something?”
Spy pup: “Nah”

[starmaster]

I actually love them they’re so smart trying to divert it’s attention from their babies and risking their own life like damp

[treefrog]

It would be cool if the spy pup went in the den too lol

[DamanP]

These videos are amazing. I don’t think people understand how much we’re potentially learning about these different animals through experiments like these. Amazing work you people are

[bananamaniac]

"Are going to spend thousands of dollars making this spy cam robot to film the animals"

"We are also going to put 40 hidden cameras and camera men around and only use the robot footage twice."

0:27 the little pup was trying to tell robopup to run :( how precious

[benji]

I am just so surprised at how they were distracting the lioness, so smart. Animals are more capable than we think they are.

[randomvideosbymark]

How many cameras were used in the making of this video? And are they all in critter form?

[kovulion]

0:41: dog mom wants to call spy pup to join then awww

[xivyv]

The lion “you naughty naughty, you teasing me you naughty naughty”

[leunrphantom]

You guys are cool and brave to put this expensive technology out in the wild where it could be destroyed easily.

[Zoe-qnuo]

It’s really nice how the pack helps distract the lioness & how the mother risks her life to save her pups. How the rest of the pack help distract the lioness really shows how close their pack-bond and teamwork are!

[Keplxr]

The mother is like “oh no! Our adopted puppy who came from nowhere and doesn’t really look like a real puppy is in danger! We’ve got to help!”

[ghostmarine]

When you get tagged and all the other kids are faster than you

[kinda_emily]

The up whole time I was yelling “RUN MOMMA RUN”

[devrobledo]

The spy pup looked scared shitless too. Lmao 😂
