Sex, Lies and Dirty Tricks

Season 1 Episode 3 of 3

Chris Packham features animals that utilise devious tactics to win a mate and raise a family, such as bower birds and fiddler crabs, who use optical illusions to impress a female, and male topi antelope, who fake danger to give them an edge. He also looks at family life, including the chicks that blackmail their parents, and the honeyguide bird that dupes another species into raising its young
