Wildlife Specials: Serpent

Snakes are one of the most successful species on the planet – and one of the least documented. This BBC documentary, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, uses pioneering techniques including miniature cameras attached to snakes’ heads, high-speed photography, X-ray imaging and computer graphics to capture the world from the serpent’s perspective. It also includes unique footage of a 30-foot Python devouring an entire antelope, partially photographed from inside the throat of the snake to reveal the last moments of the giant reptile’s victim.
