How does the animal documentaries get their footage/videos?

414 viewsOtherTechnology

So I know with large animals like lions they just record from far away and I’ve even saw one that uses a crab robot to record crabs. But how about those little animals or insects? There was that one video about a caterpillar that can disguise itself as an ant queen and would eat the ant’s larvae inside the nest and was really baffled by it. Like how did they even record that?

If you’re interested in seeing the answer to your question firsthand, the docuseries Planet Earth had some “making of” footage that shows in great detail how the nature photographers got their best footage.

Spoiler alert: mostly, absurd patience.
