Spy In The Wild
The spy creatures go undercover to explore the world of animal intelligence and reveal their use of tools, self-medication, culture and subterfuge. In Borneo, the most lifelike spy creature yet meets real orangutans and discovers how they use human tools. Spy Orang films how they wash with soap and how this behaviour is now part of their wild culture. In one of the most extraordinary scenes ever filmed, a wild orang uses a saw and competes with Spy Orang! Spy Otter takes us to the heart of the sea otter colony to reveal their ingenious methods of finding and cracking open a meal. Spy Bushbaby infiltrates the world of chimpanzees to witness their problem solving and tool making, and is even hunted by a curious chimp. Spy Squirrel discovers how real squirrels use intellect and subterfuge to outwit other thieving squirrels. Spy Ostrich Chick joins hatchlings in a nest and witnesses the daring trickery of the mother as she cleverly lures a leopard away from her vulnerable brood. Spy Termite Mound explores how drongo birds mislead meerkats in order to steal their food. Spy Crow films the world's most intelligent crow as he fashions tools from sticks to extract grubs and uses stones to crack nuts. Capuchins discover that Spy Rock offers a convenient way to smash open their favourite food. Spy Sloth meets a real sloth and reveals the incredible jungle pharmacy that exists amongst its fur.

I always thought that when I saw squirrels chasing eachother in my neighborhood that they were playing with eachother but now I know I was watching a robbery chase.

LeilaniPunani Mania yes indeed 😂😂😂😂
Pls stfu
Why do I have a feeling that the Punani in your name could be quite enjoyable?
@campbellscollision that's capitalism not socialism! :D
"He pretends to bury his nut" Camera pans behind him, showing his nuts dangling in full glory.
Khos 😂

😂
Khos stop checking out the hung squirrel man.
@Matthew Alkman Are you high? Someone get this guy to a mental hospital.
"So what is your job?" "I make Spy Squirrels."
Should use taxidermy squirrels for the robots 😂🤣
@@notasian7620 I believe they did. I'm not a fan of taxidermy but this case is the only good exception.
My job is to steal acorns from Spy Squirrels
I can see CIA using robo squirrels to spy on people
@@daakudaddy5453 Maybe. The Russians did it with dolphins...
Spy squirrel: *"Don't do drugs, kids."*
hauhwuwhawuw
hahahahah
These comments roasting spy squirrel are the funniest thing I’ve read in my life
Who needs Netflix when you have this kind of action and drama happening in real life...
This is the REAL Secret Squirrel!
@@drenawalker2935 I like that!
Who needs youtube when you can go outside and watch these squirrels live not through a screen💩💩👺👺👺
We can watch that on Netflix.
@@cloudridermrbliss7085 There's always one real troll...
Spy squirrel came out of pet sematary 😂🤣
😂

@@FlyingPigMD I think it's a reference to the Stephen King novel-turned-movie "Pet Sematary"
🤣🤣🤣
M M Sematary dumbass. He’s referring to the movie not the word.
So we just gonna ignore the fact that they perfectly put a super small camera in a nut and it has great quality?!?! AND BETTER QUALITY THEN THE SECURITY CAMERAS ?!?!?!
I didn't...😱
That thing is larger than a phone camera
Security cameras just need to exist for the insurance. If their images were of actual value Bank had Ultra HD security cameras instead of blurry VGA.
The problem is not that security cameras can't have full HD. It's the storage issue. Try running your phone camera for a day, see how fast you'll get "out of memory" notification.
It's "better than", fucking dumbass.
Wife wakes up at 2:30am "what are you watching?" Me:these squirrels are stealing other squirrels nuts
kzhead.info/sun/rJWcc5iDjniBqH0/bejne.html ,.,..
You should give spy squirrel this gigantic tail that folds out and scares the other squirrels and he becomes their king.
I Tuurtley don't even care And king spy squirrel ends up acquiring female squirrel harem 😏
False prophet to the max, huh? Cruel.
Why did this remind me of that possum king from Madagascar
those tricks only work on humans. the squirrels aren't stupid enough
and fangs and a hiss
squirrel 1: steals from spy squirrel squirrel 2: steals from squirrel 1 squirrel 1: >:O
you stole what i rightfully stole from him!!
@i hate anime Seems legit
@fuck google Seems legit
....
Ikr 😭
0:07 Squirrel: Can remember the exact spot of up to 4000 buried nuts Me: Can't even remember where I put 1 key
Where'd I put my phone! Shudda buried it in the yard!
@Honudes Gai Then they take to psych ward for talking to yourself
Isabel blah Yeah. Personally, a couple of weeks ago I managed to throw my keys together with the garbage.
But the question is wheres the 6000 nuts?
I swear the BBC camera crew should get lots of awards for their work!!
That squirrel, when he took the spy squirrels nut was like gimme that lunch box 😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Gimme ur lunch money!
squirrels...🐿 look so cute but actually living a tough life
Not only that, but they r pretty dangerous. It's rare, some cases of squirrels attacks r reported thought. Cheers,
@@Abu-Aley Squirrels killed my son
Looks like he's on 10000 doses of meth ,Cocaine and a bad wife
Squirrels are starving
StammaMusic That is a ROBOT. 🤖
"... But this time, the thief has picked the wrong nut" *C4 ACTIVATED*
"There!"
"Bomb has been planted" "Terrorists win"
2:21 VERY CLEVER
So the thief gets upset when he is stolen from 🤔🤔🤔 Sounds about right...
I was thinking the same thing. Like how you gon get mad if someone stole something from you that you stole from someone else?
T P oh typical white people...... racist smh
James Darmor you meant....at least BLACK squirrels didn't steal white squirrels from an their country and enslave them. We blacks didn't enslave whites lmao
T P It’s a grey squirrel
T P Actually, applying your “human“ logic, it seems the reverse would be true. White people steal humans, animals/wildlife, land, resources, and even tried to “steal GOD” (you won’t get it, I won’t bother to elab). Yet, they are the most litigious group, and even suicidal at times (esp 🇺🇸) when a single dollar is taken from them. I’ll leave it there.
2:30 "He pretends to bury his nut". - I can see his nut allright!
LOL 😆
I like how the spy squirrel always looks like a scruffy homeless version of the real one.
Imagine all this drama going on but we don’t even pay attention.....we just look at squirrels running around not caring what they do
Not all of We. 😊🥰😌
Speak 4 yourself 😂 I've seen some real life drama that I wish I could've of recorded.
Supreme Bape Aah so you one of them walking around with the Kardashians in your head when you could watch a whole sequel on an ant hill n all
this whole time I thought squirrels just played chase for fun
Squirrels regularly kill each other my dude...
Sometimes it's to run other male squirls away and other times it may be males chasing females!
bruh me too
Anne Elk 😞
Smilys Prid it’s a savage rite of passage for all warrior squirrels 🐿
This video is for that late night KZhead binging
This is just a teaser. The full length video would be even better!
Yeah, it's the perfect 4 minutes video to watch at 2 AM... which is exactly the time right now ;P
Or early Sunday morning (whilst trying to get up n do some housework).
@@TheDarkever 1:55am for me
@@H_A_L_7 that's more like it, these sleep deprived lot are bonkers watch shit at 2am
Spy squirrel would make great friends with that one awkward fox on a chair.
SquirrelNet became self-aware and sent a robot squirrel back in time to give acorns to other squirrels.
omg,ahahahha
At my parents house they had a squirrel who would come to the deck every day just to chill. He would even eat out of our hands. I miss that squirrel.
Lucky
When did he pass?
He ded now...
@@henpeckedlizard9873 Idk but they have a lot of hawks in the area so that's a possibility.
i have a squirrel rn that comes to our porch almost everyday, she even has a little hammock my dad got her that is suppose to be for ferrets, they’re pretty adorable and curious creatures
Very nice, more squirrel/urban wildlife videos please!
good
listen to this man
Its not quite BBC quality but if you like wildlife videos you might like the stuff on my channel. I do lots of videos on urban wildlife and have some pretty good underwater videos too (If I do say so myself)
just go outside !!!
I have a few on my channel.
I love these spy animals. It always makes me think that they were put together by top of the line biologists and researchers who spared no expense in getting the very best equipment, 4K ultra high resolution cameras built into state of the art mechanical chassis that are designed to look like the animals they are attempting to observe.. but at the last stage their 5 year old twins wandered into the garage and wanted to help.. so they let them. And that's how you get a top of the line spy vehicle that looks like it's been drawn by a dyslexic, half blind, lunatic.
Lol
That's pretty specific, are you a biologist?
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
That spy squirrel is straight out of a Stephen King novel
I know the way it kept calmly folding its hands against its lil chest was creeping me out like red flag
Hehe, I AGREE
I like your nickname 😁👍
That spy squirrel is nothing, but a squirrel feeder to them. Squirrels are very smart especially of their surroundings. They knew that wasn’t a real squirrel in seconds
yeah they're brilliant, that's why you can hunt them without a scope at thirty yards as a big human
dubnstuf I always wanted a pet squirrel they’re so cool. I had a flying squirrel growing up
I'm pretty sure they don't rely on sight, and a smell can be put on the spy one...
No, they're not.
@@AMpufnstuf hooman*
Min 1:53 and the robot squirrel watches the squirrel drama quietly. 🤣😂🐿
2:00 That squirrel ran straight into the thief
Spy squirrel is a pushover, he is going to be popular. That made me giggle a little. I love these videos!! 🐿️
Truly amazing footage. Such clever animals. Love the chase scene!
Squirrels are such great entertainers! Not only cute but also funny and cleaver! I love them!!!
Now I know when I see two squirrels fighting and squeaking what the whole ordeal is about.
Squirrels are my spirit animal, keeping secret stacks of food around the house and stealing from other’s plate.
😂🤣😭 Spy squirrel looked hung over. But Wishing I had squirrel memory, without the deception & thievery!
Who is creating all these gorgeous, lifelike robots? As always, well done!
The spy squirrel just vibing while the squirrels fight
Lmao how is the squirrel going to get mad about his acorn being stolen when he just stole it from the spy squirrel? 😂😂😂😂
That spy squirrel looks like me after a night out of 2-for-1 drinks.
His acting of fake burying the nut was awesome he fooled the thief and watched with nut in his mouth😂
I thought that was a blind, old ,sick squirrel. That's another interesting and additional knowledge for me about this creature. I've watched a lot of your videos and still catching up. And I gave each a two thumbs up. What a great channel to watch ! Thank you so much BBC !!!👍👍
the robot squirrel placidly sitting there in the background while these two squirrels go for each other's throats is killing me
That squirrel cam is a warning to all squirrels the dangers of crack!
😂😂😂😂
I remembered the scene from Ice age. Thought they are going to be in love with each other. LOL
That spy squirrel looks super stepped on
Squirrels are a bunch of thieves. The rescue rangers would never do that.
1:52 Why is Spy Squirrel holding another acorn in this shot?
Continuity error.
He had a second one in his pocket
@@MichoCosmo even of if your claim is true, that doesn't really change anything. We're still getting entertained
@@MichoCosmo The Squirrel is the paid actor!... Yeah, totally.
Sleight of paw.
This is hilarious. I'm definitely watching more than once.
A big thanks to people who make these films for us.
I can't help but crack up laughing as they say, "He pretends to burry his nuts" and it's a perfect shot of the squirrel's balls...
Amazing little animatronic squirrel. I want one!
Corruption all over the world😂
2:42 Squirrel:peace was never a option Nut:falls and dies
The narrator totally sounds like David Tennant 💕
Spy squirrel looks like it came out of Pet cemetery .
Sematary....
@@ParadingWolves I did not realize it was spelled like that .
😂😂
2:45 as he quietly sneaks in. Scene changes to a whole totally different squirel. Good editing BBC🧐
The horror when they realize it's a robot wrapped in a dead squirrel..
This was too funny. They’re always driving my dad and mom nuts. Digging up their nice yard. Lol
The squirrels fighting over nuts reminds me of Black Friday sales when people go nuts (pun intended)
amazing small animal. They looks clever. no enemy can catch them.

Spy squirrel looks like he's had a rough autumn
😁 clever squirrel 🐿 The way they chew the nuts is cute as hecc.
Angry thieving squirrels: having a fight Spy squirrel: I jus want frend
The thief squirrel represents that member in every group project. Let others do all the work and take the rewards for yourself.
Spy squirrel looks like he went out last night and got ripped 🍷 🍺
People: we should video the squirrels Spy Squirrel: hold my nut.. “oh its gone”
Hello to all lovers of squirrels, from Ukrainian squirrels! The video is incredibly educational. I love the BBC
That's nice work with Ukranian squirrels on your channel! And here's a squirrel in the snow: kzhead.info/sun/rJx6naiEoaawrJE/bejne.html
@@heyhondo wooow😍
"Whatcha looking for Steve?"
Absolutely adorable
The spy-squirrel looks like robotic roadkill.
It took me almost the entire video to realize spy squirrel was fake😂😂
I love how there's all this chaos going on around him and spy squirrel just sitting there with an acorn in his hand...🤣🤣🤣🤣
" spy squirrel is really cracked out "
Nice to see Sandy in her natural habitat
Love this clip! Really gives more insight into their behavior. I've wanted to see more content with animals like squirrels 🐿️🐿️🐿️
Squirrel intellect is pretty amazzing, And that was a pretty weard looking robot squirrel, love the video,
Hats off to BBC for this amazing documentaries.
They’re so adorable! They remind me so much of my pet rats - their behaviours are so similar
All this time I was watching squirrels rob each other?? I fr thought they were playing 🤣
3:15 Everything has a camera 😂😂
I love sitting in my garden and watching the pigeons watching the squirrels when they bury their acorns and stealing them 😆
I love how spy squirrel is just sitting there as they fight each other, thinking “yesss.. YESSS.. MY PLAN HAS WORKED, THE MORTALS ARE ATTACKING EACH OTHER
Cute little bandits, i'd let them steal acorns from me any day, all day 😂
Same!
I love animals, they have such great personalities I swear 🤣🤣🤣🐿🐿
The forgotten acorns become mighty oaks to feed the future squirrels....
Good thing for squirrels that stealing acorns is only a misdemeanor.
Team squirrel!!! :)))
What js the opposing team?
Squirrel is fighting for his stolen akorn, and rightfully so. But even their fight is cute. With their little squeaks 💓, lol. Without the narrater, it honestly looks like they're having fun playing tag. Or even that they're a couple, playing kiss chase. 😹
These squirrels are nuts.
Omg I thought the spy squirrel was a real one but just really ugly and sick
I nearly spat out my celery laughing at this
@i hate anime lmao, who hurt you
@i hate anime but there is no point of yelling at people's likings just because you hate it doesn't mean you have to express it just best to keep it to your self friend
@i hate anime there is nothing to hate about anime and if there is something your just on the weird side of it mate please let people like what they want please
same dude, same.
Here I thought squirrel is just a cute and innocent animals.
Spy squirrel has lived many lives and seen many things.
No Animals : Squirrel when standing : 👉👈
The crazy thing is that all this is going on while someone is just on their way to work, or just walking by lol. Crazy how these animals are living these lives amongst us all
They sound like Donald Duck
No it’s like Donald trump
The way squirrel is spoken makes everything in the world good.
Thank you BBC Earth for these Spy in the Wild videos. These videos are true genius 😂 .
