First Look: 'The Secret Lives Of Animals'

Synopsis: The Secret Lives Of Animals utilizes cutting-edge technology to showcase new and remarkable animal behaviors. For the first time, The Secret Lives Of Animals captures the sounds and vibrations of a unique jumping spider courtship dance, a killifish in Trinidad breathing through its tail when out of the water, and a wood mouse marking its territory with signposts. And witness a rarely seen relationship between a frog and tarantula, a land lizard that can breathe underwater, and a monkey that uses a bizarre nose-poking ritual as a test of friendship.

Each episode focuses on specific behaviors that are pivotal in the life cycles of various animals—from birth and leaving home to raising a family, and from finding food to growing old—highlighting their striking intelligence and adaptability. (Courtesy Apple TV+, 2024)
