What happens when we mount cameras on nocturnal wildlife?
In short: Experience the night from a new perspective as a back-mounted camera captures the secret behaviors of flying foxes. This footage offers a rare look at how these mammals navigate and interact with their environment in total darkness.
In this segment from the series 'Animals With Cameras', wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan collaborates with scientists to provide an intimate view of species behavior. By placing cameras on animals, researchers can observe natural actions that are often impossible to capture through traditional filming methods.
The video specifically follows flying foxes as they soar across the evening sky. The footage aims to provide insight into their nighttime habits and explore potential reasons for why these animals have relocated to urban environments.
