Narrated by Sir David Attenborough Spy in the Jungle is the latest creation of John Downer who has been recording footage over a period of 3 years in the Pench National Park in India… using some ingenious “trunk-cams”, which allowed the team to follow four newborn tiger cubs through adulthood.

The crew used three types of high-definition cameras, designed and built by Geoff Bell and operated by cameraman Michael Richards: A remotely-operated trunk-cam, which could film while the elephants were on the move and could also be set down.

A remotely-operated tusk-cam, which was smaller than the trunk cam and could be carried by the elephants for much longer periods.

Log and rock cams - cameras disguised as logs or rocks - which could be set down either by an elephant or human crew member and were activated by motion sensors.
