Trek: Spy On The Wildebeest - THE JOURNEY With David Attenborough - HD
- 4 years ago
Imagine being part of the Greatest Wildlife Spectacle on Earth. Imagine experiencing it as if you were one of the animals involved. The same brand of revolutionary photography that spied on Lions, Elephants and Bears, now focuses on nature's most awe-inspiring event, the Great Wildebeest Migration. TREK features a cast of literally thousands, as countless wildebeest, zebra and antelope are joined by the hyena, leopard, jackal, cheetah and crocodile that prey on them. To personalise this story, spycams follow the fortunes of a baby wildebeest. We experience all the significant events of his 3000 kilometre year-long circular journey. This epic story combines natural humour with high-octane drama. But the bouldercams, dungcams and invisiblecams of past productions have grown into an army of over twenty mobile and remote cameras.These give saturation coverage of this awe-inspiring event.
Trek: Spy on the wildebeest is a two part series starting with 'The Journey' and ending with 'The Crossing'.
The Journey
Through the use of stealthcam, cameras built inside capsules resembling everything from crocodiles and hippos to mudpiles and dragonflies, the magnificent journey of more than a million wildebeest across Tanzania's Serengeti Plain has been captured like never before.
The migration is the largest of land animals on the planet and the perils on the 3000km round trip, which the wildebeest take annually for food and water, are numerous. Wildebeest are on the hit list of every African predator.
By land and across water, their lives are in constant danger from cheetahs, lions, hyenas and crocodiles, as well as nature's most gruelling physical challenges.
Their coming signals food for their enemies on the plains and in the rivers. Their enemies wait to pick them off at the slightest chance. So survival tactics are called for from the first minutes of a newborn wildebeest's life.
