SPY IN THE OCEAN
A NATURE MINISERIES DEEP THINKER
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 7 PM

The latest installment of the popular Spy in the Wild series takes place in the ocean, the largest ecosystem on Earth. This four-part Nature miniseries employs animatronic spy cameras disguised as marine animals to record behavior in the wild secretly. These uncanny robotic look-alikes take us to places no spy has gone before. They will swim, float, paddle, waddle, drift and fly into every nook and cranny to film rarely-seen behavior that reveals how ocean animals possess emotions and behavior similar to humans – including the capacity to love, grieve, deceive and invent.
