“Secret World of Sound with David Attenborough” is a documentary miniseries directed by Bridget Appleby, Gemma Brandt, and Rebecca Hart. It is hosted by David Attenborough.
For many creatures, sound is crucial for survival. It can be the difference between catching prey and evading predators, between life and death.
David Attenborough guides us on an auditory adventure, capturing the sounds of the natural world with state-of-the-art equipment.
Experience the powerful roars of lions as they establish their dominance over a 400-kilometer territory, or the buzzing of bees as they navigate towards food sources. Join dolphins as they use sonar to hunt for their meals.
Witness the stealth of the gray owl in Canada, which relies on silence and acute hearing to detect the faint footsteps of moles beneath the snow. Thanks to modern technology, we can hear the very sounds that guide the owl to its prey.
Each species harnesses sound uniquely. Elephants, for instance, detect seismic vibrations to find water and safeguard their herd, while seagulls use foot-tapping to mimic the sound of rain, luring earthworms to the surface.
“Secret World of Sound with David Attenborough” is yet another stellar documentary that showcases the marvels of the animal kingdom, upholding the high standards of British nature productions.
This three-part series is a must-watch for nature enthusiasts and premieres on Netflix starting Wednesday, August 7.
