Animals Like Us offers viewers a new and exciting way of seeing the natural world! Each episode offers a rare glimpse into the complex lives of charismatic animals that behave a lot like we do! Throughout the Animal Kingdom, wild animals live in sophisticated societies, inhabited by individuals that show deep emotion and real intelligence. In fact, the closer we look at their actions, and unravel what drives them to behave as they do, the more we realize animals are a lot like us!
A unique insight into the everyday lives of animals and how they compete, cooperate, love, and cry, just as humans do, from snuggling giraffes and honeybees dancing to a chimpanzee with a pet.
An Antarctic gentoo penguin uses a small pebble as a token of love to symbolise his proposal, while a lemur in Madagascar uses poisonous millipedes as a form of pest control.
Join a line of hermit crabs as they prepare for a very orderly house swap on a beach in Belize, and meet a chimpanzee in Senegal who has found a genet cat to keep as a pet.
Tenacious meerkat pups show their determination to devour deadly scorpions in the vast Kalahari Desert, while a group of lionesses' demonstrate their seduction tactics in Kenya.
Go rogue with frigate birds who steal meals from smaller seabirds, relax in a mongoose-run spa with a grateful warthog, decode an African elephant's secret message, and watch lovelorn capuchin monkeys hurl rocks to attract prospective mates.
Discover why it takes a village to raise lion cubs in Kenya, sniff out the mating strategy of fragrant lemurs in Madagascar, cut a rug at a honeybee dance party, and listen up as a forked-tailed drongo tricks other birds out of their dinner.
Marvel at a toothy fish that helps sharks maintain their pearly whites, discover the signature calls of dolphin families, examine a capuchin monkey's nut-cracking stone tools, get the warm fuzzies when giraffes snuggle, and meet a meerkat mobster.
