Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan presents this documentary in which he joins with scientists to attach cameras to various animals, hoping to make new discoveries about various species. In the Kalahari Desert, it allows them to finally understand what meerkats get up to underground, revealing their sleeping habits and the behaviour of one-day-old newborns.
