All language subtitles for Spy-in-the-Wild-S01E04-1080p-BluRay-x264-TAXES

The world is full
of extraordinary animals.

But how well do we
really understand them?

How do they really think
and feel?

To find out, a team of spy
creatures is going undercover.

They not only look like
part of the family,

they behave like them, too.

Armed with the latest
camera technology...

They are
going to travel the globe

to understand the true nature
of the animals they meet

and reveal how intelligent
they really are...

How badly behaved
they can be...

How important
friendship is to them...

And if it's possible that they
can truly love each other.

What they discover will change our
perception of animals forever.

Perhaps they're more like us
than we ever believed possible.

Animals are
the masters of misbehaviour,

but what makes them
break the rules?

When it comes to causing mayhem,
monkeys are the experts.

In India,
a troop of 30 rhesus macaques

have commandeered
an old water trough

to use as
their personal diving pool.

And the bigger the splash...

The greater the fun.

Spy baby macaque
is perfectly poised

to record just how
mischievous they really are.

It seems like pandemonium,

everyone does their own thing
in their own particular style.

Even the nervous.

It's all about having fun and
soaking as many mates as possible.

Spy macaque attracts suspicion

but manages to escape
relatively unscathed.

But, for a real baby, a pool
without rules can be frightening.

The mother is wise
to be protective,

but perhaps things aren't quite
as anarchic as they seem.

Splash a grown-up and you
suffer the consequences.

Soak the wrong kid and his angry
mother soon puts you in your place.

It looks more serious than
it is, but that's the point.

He won't do
that again in a hurry.

Despite appearances, macaque
society is highly structured.

Everyone knows their place.

A lull in the chaos gives the
chance for a swimming lesson...

An anxious moment
for any doting mother.

She hovers over him,
giving constant reassurance.

It's just the encouragement he needs
as he tries out his first strokes.

He'll need
plenty of practise.

Experienced macaques
can swim half a mile,

but he's off to a good start.

But what about the high dive?

How hard can it be?

Climbing is the easy bit.

Now, the moment of truth.

It looks very
different from up here.

Miss the pool
and he faces serious injury.

But an impatient queue
is forming behind him.

He desperately tries
to pick up courage...

But then the decision's
made for him.

Still in one piece, his
relieved mother helps him out.

Now he knows that young monkeys
don't believe in rules.

And he's not the only one
learning the hard way.

In Africa, even the largest
and most caring of animals

has a mischievous side.

Spy egret puts his robotic life
on the line at every deployment.

Even real egrets must watch
their step.

But it's the youngsters who are
always pushing the boundaries.

It's a time when
they can test their strength

without doing too much damage.

To help with the filming,
spy egret has backup.

This is dung cam, a camera based
on a pile of elephant poo.

It even smells the part.

It's designed
to film on the move.

Its zoom lens can capture
the elephants' every move.

That's not all. It can release
a team of spy dung balls

to litter the savannah
with yet more cameras.

One dung ball
is radio-controlled

and can travel without
any visible moving parts.

With the action covered
from every angle,

it's time to see what this
elephant family gets up to.

The babies must learn the rules
of behaviour at an early age.

Wrestling older siblings
is a favourite pastime.

They learn their own strength
and, crucially,

how to play nicely
with each other.

It's the older elephants who make
sure they don't cross the line.

It takes a few years before they're
big enough to do real damage.

But as they get older,
they need to be reined in.

Those who overstep the mark
soon know it.

The rules are strict for everyone
when the family is on the move.

To follow them, spy egret
and dung cam join forces.

For their own safety, the babies
must stay next to their mothers

in the centre of the herd.

The elephants
are heading to the swamp...

A place to cool off
as the day heats up.

But the mud can be treacherous

and babies must only
enter with their mums.

But this little one seems
to have forgotten the rules.

Chasing egrets
is irresistible.

But as the herd enter the swamp,
the baby is being left behind.

Realising his predicament,
he looks for his mother

and thinks he's found her.

He tags along as the group
head into the swamp,

but he's following
the wrong elephant.

With his mother nowhere to be
seen, he's lost in a confusion

of trunks and legs.

The elephants head
into the swamp without him.

The baby is now alone
and afraid...

While his herd appear
to have forgotten him.

He can smell that
his mother is out there...

Somewhere.

But entering the swamp alone could
be deadly for one so small.

He's really starting
to panic now.

His mother is inexperienced.

She's only just realised
her mistake.

Both will have learnt
from what happened.

He won't misbehave while the
family are travelling again...

And stays extra close
as he's taken into the swamp.

He's learnt the hard way why
you don't go here on your own.

His older brother
heads up the rear.

No one is letting this mischievous
baby out of their sight.

Now the mud bathing
can begin in earnest.

But the cheeky elephants
have a message for spy egret.

Learning to behave is even more
vital in extreme environments.

In the Canadian Arctic,
it is a matter of survival.

Arctic wolf packs
live in a society

based on close cooperation
and teamwork.

Spy wolf cub is here
to record how the cubs

learn their place in the pack.

He's been accepted
as part of the family.

They are now confident enough
to wander away from the den.

They love to play
and are equally matched.

For now, they can safely test each
other's strengths and weaknesses.

But their rough and tumble
has woken the babysitter.

She may have
been sleeping on the job,

but she's responsible for the
cubs while their mother is away.

She has strict rules and one
is, stay close to the den.

It's time
they were taught a lesson.

But this wolf cub isn't showing
the respect the occasion demands.

He's not supposed to
answer back.

She tries to roll him
on his back,

this is how wolves
show they know their place.

But the message
isn't getting through.

If he doesn't learn
to submit by rolling over,

he'll never fit in
with the pack.

But he's still arguing back.

Now, she really gets tough,
pinning him to the ground.

She won't give up
until he understands.

He's got the message now.

Learning to submit helps avoid
conflict within the pack,

vital for animals
that must work together.

Lesson over, they now practise
what they learnt on each other.

It seems even spy cub
must learn the pack rules...

But he soon makes
a dignified recovery.

The father howls
a rallying call.

The call is not to hunt, but to
come and play in the cotton grass.

With the rules firmly established,
playtime becomes a family affair...

A chance for the mischievous
cubs to let off steam

and learn the value of
teamwork and cooperation.

While animals that live
together must learn the rules,

for others,
it's everyone for themselves.

Frigate birds are the original
pirates of the Caribbean.

They make a living on the high seas
from skulduggery and thievery.

Fishing boats returning with
their catch make easy targets.

Fish cams reveal the details
of their criminal activity.

Tropicbirds returning to feed their
young carry yet more riches.

A fleet of frigates
follow in hot pursuit.

They know she carries a fish
hidden in her throat

and it's one they won't let
get away.

Their technique
is sheer intimidation,

forcing the tropicbird
to give up its meal.

To gain a bird's-eye view
of their nefarious ways,

spy tropicbird
braves the intimidation.

He faces skilled assailants.

Their slender wings and curved
tails allow swift manoeuvring.

It allows them to wait
until the perfect moment.

Real tropicbirds
make more challenging targets.

And when the frigates
really put on the pressure,

it's safer to give up
without a fight.

Show resistance
and you pay the price.

They'll shake the fish
right out of you.

There's a lot at stake.

Fish are hard to come by,

give it up
and her young might starve.

But these villains
even work together,

so taking the path of
least resistance is tempting.

They won't give up until
they've had their fill.

But these birds
aren't here to kill.

So, to succeed,
you just have to tough it out.

Her hungry chick
drives her on.

She's made it and her chick
finally gets a meal.

It's not just tropicbirds that
are subjected to bad behaviour

from feathered felons.

In Antarctica, spy penguin is
greeting Adelie penguins

as they return from
a two-week fishing trip

away from their nest sites.

He receives the same
bolshie reception

as the penguins give
to each other.

Despite their belligerent nature,
they are dedicated parents

and are rushing home to relieve
their partners of nesting duties.

The birds breed on a rocky
outcrop high above the sea ice.

Another spy penguin is filming

the disorderly behaviour
inside the colony.

The Adelies constantly
squabble over the stones

they use to build their nests.

Spy Adelie is in
the thick of this rabble

as everyone steals
from everyone else.

He may be
an innocent bystander,

but that doesn't stop him
getting picked on.

Although he's designed
to get right up again.

In case it all gets too much,
he has backup,

the other spy penguin.

This one comes with
a pebble cam.

Egg cams are here as well...

But they, too,
get the same rough treatment.

Here, weather changes quickly

and it soon dampens the
high spirits of the colony.

Now their only concern is to
protect their eggs from the storm,

so everyone hunkers down.

Spy penguin is
the only one still on duty,

except for a straggler racing
back from his fishing trip.

Stuck on her nest for the last
two weeks, his mate is hungry.

But she'll have to stay put
till the storm passes.

Meanwhile, he has a plan
to impress her...

Use the cover of the storm
to steal more stones.

It gets easier
as the blizzard gets stronger.

Blinded by the snow storm, they
become easy victims of crime.

By the time the storm ends,

they have one of the finest
nests in the colony.

The petty pilfering
of stones is one thing,

but a much greater crime
is about to be committed.

Better weather
brings in predators.

These are skuas.

Their speciality
is stealing eggs.

Each Adelie has only two eggs

and a year's investment
goes into rearing them.

But with skuas on the prowl,
one can go in a flash.

But not all eggs are
quite what they seem.

Egg cam is about to reveal what
it's like to be kidnapped.

Realising it's not the real thing,
egg cam is discarded in disgust.

Adelies may be pugnacious
and dishonest,

but they are devoted
to their young.

Each chick that makes it is a
triumph against the real criminals.

The whole process of breeding

brings out
the best and the worst

in some birds.

The rainforests of eastern Australia
are the stage for perhaps

the sneakiest criminals
of the lot.

This is the satin bowerbird,

a creature with
a bad case of kleptomania.

He is under surveillance
from a female spy bowerbird

with a particularly beady eye.

He builds this elaborate
cradle, or bower,

to show off
his prowess and skills.

It doesn't stop
at weaving twigs,

he likes home decor, too.

Blue is his favourite colour.

Bottle tops nicked
from a nearby campsite

are his proudest possession.

He has an eye for detail, too,

placing them precisely
for maximum visual impact.

Stage set, it's time
to begin his performance.

But he soon realises spy bowerbird
is immune to his charm.

Perhaps he'll have better luck
with a real bowerbird.

She makes all the right moves,

entering the bower
to show she's interested.

A ring makes the perfect gift.

Not impressed?

How about
a bouquet of flowers?

But something
is not quite right.

The penny drops,

he's been duped!

This isn't a female at all,
it's a young male in disguise

and he's here to steal.

He's part of a gang
of juvenile delinquents

roaming the forest,
tricking unwary males.

In their hideout, they disply
their ill-gotten gains.

It takes up to seven years for a
male bowerbird to reach maturity.

In the meantime,
they practise making a bower

and dancing for each other.

But they can never have too
many blue trinkets and bling.

Time to go out stealing again.

And bowers don't come more
decadently inviting than this.

But this is no ordinary bower,

it's occupied by a male
spy bowerbird and adorned

with an irresistible array of
blue treasure and jewel cameras,

all perfectly placed to catch
the thieves in the act.

Like professionals,
they approach with caution.

Once again, they pretend
to be courting females.

This time they work together.

One distracts as the other
steals the jewels.

Spy bowerbird can only observe
as they clean out the bower,

gem by precious gem.

Back home
with their stolen goods,

they continue to practise
their courtship techniques.

But spy bowerbird
isn't off the hook.

The male bowerbird
who was their first victim

needs to replenish his bower.

Well, if you can't beat them,
you may as well join them.

In Senegal, the art of
seduction brings out the worst

in our closest
animal relatives.

For young chimps,
misbehaving is second nature.

They're cut a lot of slack and
generally do exactly what they want.

But as they get older,
they start to push their luck

and wind the adults up.

It starts small,
but often escalates.

Spy tortoise is just one of
the many spy cameras

that have been watching them.

He's been capturing some
very unconventional views.

But now he's helping record how the
bad behaviour of the youngsters

translates into adulthood.

In chimp society, there are
always a few dominant males.

As a young male
reaches adulthood,

he becomes a potential
challenger for the top spot.

The lead male must keep this
cocky upstart in his place.

And the other males are keen
to teach him a lesson, too.

He needs to get away
or suffer serious injury.

He may not be popular
with the bigger guys...

But among the females,
it's a different matter.

It seems many prefer
the younger male.

She seems to be
giving him the come-on,

but he must be careful
he isn't seen.

Fortunately, chimps
like their midday nap...

And the female
encourages him to follow her.

It could be his lucky day.

One last check.

Time for
a little extra privacy.

Unfortunately, one male has
the perfect vantage point.

Spotted!

This is strictly against
the rules.

His fun ruined,
he leaves in disgrace.

But once he's cooled off,
he'll be back.

In the Kalahari Desert
in South Africa,

there are dire consequences

for those
who have illicit affairs.

Meerkats live
in large family groups

and there is equality
among most of the members.

But with so many meerkats
living together,

clear leadership is needed
to maintain authority.

This female is in charge.

Often called the queen,

she is the only female
to breed in the entire colony.

Spy meerkat is ideally placed
to film any rule breakers.

Sentinels watch for danger

so that the rest
of the colony can socialise.

Play helps youngsters
practise fighting skills

they'll need in the future

and makes sure they're
all supportive of the colony.

The queen meerkat asserts
her higher position

by hip slamming
and chin swiping.

She doesn't want the youngsters
to get ideas above their station.

Constant reminders of who's boss
help to maintain a stable society.

But sometimes the balance
of power is challenged.

A roving male from
outside the colony

is on the lookout
for a female...

One that has reached maturity
and is up for some excitement.

She sneaks off
for an illicit encounter.

Away from the group,

she's free
to express her desire.

Her flirtations
are strictly taboo.

Only the queen
has breeding rights.

But she's been caught
in the act.

The queen launches an attack.

The rest of the group
show their support.

A female that tries to breed
is a threat to the status quo.

Rule breakers are
not to be tolerated.

They must evict her
from the colony.

Resistance is pointless.

But, alone,
she's in great danger.

And expelled to the edges of the
colony, there is no easy way back.

The nearest meerkats
are hostile neighbours.

Her indiscretion
has put her life at risk.

Off the coast of South Africa,

more adolescents have reached
that difficult age.

At two years old,
male bottlenose dolphins

leave their mother's pod
to form boisterous gangs

looking for excitement.

They like nothing better
than surfing.

Spy turtle is here
to see what they get up to.

He, in turn, is joined
by another spy creature.

This is spy puffer, based on
a fish that blows itself into

a defensive puffball.

The spy creatures are here to
film these teenage tearaways.

Spy puffer faces a bumpy ride.

Bust-ups are common.

It's easy to get caught
in the middle.

The young males are so unruly

the females kicked them
out of the family pod.

They even send
spy turtle in a spin.

This isn't spy puffer,
it's a real pufferfish.

The poor creature
gets the same rough treatment.

Perfect for a game of catch.

But the dolphins
are dicing with death.

Pufferfish are one of the most
poisonous fish in the ocean.

They exude a powerful nerve
poison called tetrodotoxin.

It only takes a small amout
to kill a human.

Even so, the dolphins often look for
pufferfish and love to chew on them.

Taken in small doses,

the secretions seem
to have a narcotic effect.

The dolphins are careful
not to swallow them.

Instead, they hold them gently
in their mouths.

Despite the risks,

passing the puffer has become
a popular dolphin pastime.

Luckily, the little fishes usually
survive the strange experience.

But dolphins
aren't the only creatures

that seem to enjoy
natural highs.

In Madagascar, brown and black
lemurs have an equally odd weakness

for mind-altering chemicals.

Their favourite poison is
found crawling in the forest.

Like pufferfish,
millipedes are toxic.

But that doesn't stop
the lemurs seeking them out.

The millipedes use dangerous
secretions, including cyanide,

as a defence.

But the lemurs
still chew on them,

albeit extremely cautiously.

The toxins cause
the lemurs to salivate.

They then rub both the saliva and
the millipede into their fur.

They use it as an insecticide
to ward off insects,

such as mosquitoes
that carry malaria.

But they are
suspiciously enthusiastic

about the whole process.

It seems they don't just work
as an insect repellent...

The chemicals also appear to send
them into a trance-like state.

A condition
of complete intoxication.

And they can't
seem to get enough.

When it's all over, there's no
hiding the state they're in.

Time to sleep it off.

Back in the Kalahari Desert

and spy meerkat is on
the lookout

for the evicted female.

She's still all alone.

Pushed to
the edge of her territory,

she's an easy target
for the hostile neighbours.

A bolt-hole offers
refuge from the threat.

These meerkats are hoping to steal
some territory from her family,

but she won't be able
to fight them off by herself.

The unruly mob try
to dig their way in.

They work as a team to shift
as much sand as possible.

Others leave their scent mark,

laying claim
to their new territory.

She defends the bolthole
with her life.

But the marauding trespassers
have been spotted.

The group rally together.

Tails held high, they perform
an intimidating war dance.

The rival gang
clocks the incoming attack.

It's designed as a show
of strength and unity...

But the mob meets
the attack head on.

It's a fight for territory.

But ultimately,
the land grab fails.

The female checks for
the all clear.

Her family drove
the intruders away

but she played her part.

This is her opportunity to show
her loyalty and subservience.

She grooms
the dominant female.

The eviction was a harsh
lesson in how to behave.

Her apparent contrition
does the trick,

the queen meerkat
accepts her back.

But warfare doesn't just
happen between groups,

sometimes the battles begin
at the heart of the family.

The male chimpanzee that took
his chance with a female

is in a confident mood.

He wants to flex his muscles
within the troop.

Spy bushbaby is watching
to see what unfolds.

The young male is pumped up
and spoiling for a fight.

Standing on two legs makes
a more threatening display.

To really act the tough guy,
he needs a weapon.

But this theatrical show
has gone on long enough.

The big males
decide to take him on.

The mothers gather up
the youngsters.

It's turning ugly.

One dominant male
makes his entrance.

Time to put a stop
to this outrageous behaviour.

The two square up.

But no one does scary
like the high-ranking male.

First a show of his strength.

Then he selects his own weapon
and the conflict escalates.

He means business,

these stones are thrown
with deadly accuracy.

Time to make his escape.

Defeated, the challenger
vents his frustration.

From the winner,
a final show of his power.

These may be raw emotions, but anger
soon gives way to subtler feelings.

A youngster reaches out
a hand of friendship.

Placed in the mouth, it's
the ultimate show of trust.

An act of faith
and reassurance...

And a gesture
the others mirror.

Chimps may be quick to anger,
but fun is never far away.

For the little males,

mischief is part
of their psyche.

It prepares them for
family life in a rowdy troop

where rules and consequences
control their lives.

For now, they can
just enjoy their freedom.

Spy bushbaby has revealed
an eye-opening insight

into chimp family politics...

And survived
to spy another day.

Wherever
the spy creatures went,

they gave unexpected insights

into the intimate lives
of animals.

Emotions were explored when langurs
grieved over a dropped spy monkey...

And a chimp adopted
an abandoned kitten.

Their extraordinary intelligence
was revealed by an orang-utan

who took to DIY...

And a bird who created
a perfect fishing pole.

Friendships were tested
by spy cobra,

who captured the solidarity
of meerkat society.

Spy croc filmed some tiny
birds who formed a bond

with the unlikeliest
of neighbours.

Finally, the spy creatures
showed how bad behaviour

is as much part of animals'
lives as it is of our own.

Maybe what
they really revealed

is that animals
are more like us

than we ever dared to believe.

Next time, we reveal
the cutting-edge technology

and extraordinary science
behind the series

as it stretches the camera
teams to their limits

and tests some spy creatures
to destruction.
