What happens when we attach cameras directly to marine life?
In short: Witness the hidden lives of seals through a unique lens. This footage captures seal pups practicing their swimming skills in a shallow, shark-free sanctuary, offering a rare glimpse into their early development.
Using cameras mounted on the animals themselves, the film follows a seal's journey across the ocean to reveal previously unseen behaviors. This approach, part of the 2018 series Animals With Cameras, allows wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan and a team of scientists to observe fascinating species from a first-person perspective.
