How are many details about animal life, such as predation, fighting and mating, filmed in Animal World and similar programs?

It is recommended to watch the BBC nature documentary Bird's Eye on the Earth, in which many shots and narration convey the story of capturing special shots to the audience.

To sum up, there are several main points:

1, a photographer who loves this profession. Tracking the migration of snow geese left a deep impression on me. French photographers used the impression of bird branding to let the whole family live with Xueyan. This is a long process: let Xiaoxue Goose get used to the motor sound of the glider and swim together, but the final shot is really amazing. A year's time is condensed into dozens of minutes, and the cost is quite high;

2. Well-equipped. In Eye of the Earth, many high-definition and telephoto machines have made great contributions to the shooting of the picture, among which there are various camouflage cameras, especially a vulture gliding camouflage camera, which has taken a very interesting picture angle;

3. Various auxiliary equipment. Shooting special shots requires many auxiliary equipment, such as gliders, speedboats, helicopters and so on.

Off-topic:

A good nature documentary also needs a rigorous cooperative team. In Eye of the Earth, the BBC's shooting team has teams in Europe, Asia, North America and South America. Only with the concerted efforts of Qi Xin can an excellent documentary be completed.

The answer is rough, but if you are really interested, I strongly recommend you to read it.
