Animals Like Us

A unique insight into animals' everyday lives shows how they compete, cooperate, love and cry, just as humans do; snuggling giraffes, dancing honeybees and a chimpanzee with a pet.
House Hunting Hermit Crabs

Attending a crabby shell swap, meeting a chimp's pet and sizing up an otter kidnapper.

Meerkat Survival School

Boning up on desert eats; flirting with lions; witnessing an elephant babysitters' club.

Lion Daycare

It takes a village to raise lion cubs in Kenya; sniff out the mating strategy of fragrant lemurs in Madagascar; cutting a rug at a honeybee dance party; a forked-tailed drongo tricks other birds out of their dinner.

Shark Dentist

The toothy fish that help sharks maintain their pearly whites; the signature calls of dolphin families; the capuchin monkey's nut-cracking stone tools; snuggling giraffes; a meerkat mobster.
