In 2017,the documentary Spy in the Wild (《荒野间谍》) gave us a chance to look much more closely into the world of animals through the eyes of “animal spies”. 1 They “live” together with animals in order to record their lives.
Returning for its second season,Spy in the Wild follows the tradition of the first season while introducing new cameras and robots. 2 For example,a spy turtle can lay robot eggs,a spy squirrel can gather robot nuts,and monkeys can play with a spy snowball.
In the new season,more than 50 spy robots are sent to study animals in all kinds of environments,from under the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic. 3 They study the emotional connections that are shared between animals firsthand.For example,a spy penguin was accepted as part of a group in South Georgia Island. 4 “Quite accidentally,our spy creature is at the center of something special,capturing (捕捉到) emotions that have seldom been watched,” series narrator (旁白) David Tennant told CNET.
5 “The whole point is ...trying to get closer than we ever have before to capture those elusive (难以得到的) moments when they start to show the kind of emotions we have,”director John Downer told PBS.
A.It won lots of praise from the audience.
B.But these spies don't just record everyday goings on.
C.These spies are actually robots with cameras that look like real animals.
D.With the help of these robots,these “animal spies” can do many things.
E.It uncovers how different we are compared to our animal cousins.
F.The documentary aims to record animal behavior that we would rarely see.
G.It watched on as penguin parents tried hard to make it home to feed their chicks.
