Weird Nature (2002)

Produced by John Downer Productions for the BBC and Discovery Channel, Weird Nature is a 2002 documentary series that explores bizarre behaviors in the natural world, particularly among animals. It currently airs on the Science Channel. The series took three years to complete and employed an innovative filming technique to capture animal movements in 3D. Each episode typically concluded with a segment suggesting that humans may be the strangest species of all. In the locomotion episode, for instance, the narrator notes how uncommon bipedalism is among mammals. In the defences episode, the narrator points out that humans lack genuine natural defenses, relying instead on their large brains.
