Staying Alive

Season 1 Episode 1 of 3

Naturalist Chris Packham observes the devious tactics and sneaky tricks that some animals carry out in order to survive. New, ground-breaking science helps reveal astonishing visual trickery, from illusionist zebras to vanishing geckos and shape-shifting cuttlefish. Mischievous mimics, from snakes to baby birds disguised as caterpillars, and a lioness who looks like a male lion are also highlighted. The world's ultimate con artists can even rely on sneaky strategies against their own kind, such as the monkey that cheats its family and the lizard that fakes its death

World's Sneakiest Animals airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 4:15 PM, Wednesday 17 September. (Subtitles, repeat.)
