ABC’s very personal nature nerd, Dr Ann Jones will get up shut with some elusive and generally harmful wildlife in a brand new 6-part collection Dr Ann’s Secret Lives.

She is joined by scientists to uncover the secrets and techniques of how outstanding creatures adapt, survive, and thrive of their environments.

The ABC produced collection movies in each Australia and Indonesia.

From dense rainforests to distant coastal areas, every episode provides a uncommon and intimate take a look at one animal. On the Nice Barrier Reef, QLD, Dr Ann comes face-to face with a closely pregnant bull shark, and within the Pilbara, WA, she goes fishing for lethal, mysterious sea snakes. Within the steamy coronary heart of Borneo’s jungle Dr Ann appears for wild orangutans; and within the Dampier Archipelago, WA, she meets three species of turtle. In Moreton Bay, QLD, Dr Ann helps catch a dugong for an onboard well being test, and alongside the sting of the Kinabatangan River in Borneo, she hunts for one of many weirdest mammals on the planet, the scaly, labrador-sized pangolin.

Dr Ann’s infectious enthusiasm and deep respect for nature offers a novel perspective. Mixing scientific inquiry with heartfelt storytelling, this collection provides an intimate look into the challenges and triumphs of wildlife analysis.
