How Animals Work

This series explores how animals work... inside and out. Presented by Ella McSweeney and the very eminent Professor Peter Wilson the series sets out to tell stories and present information that will surprise and intrigue viewers.

The behaviours, biology and mechanics of animals are, quite simply, incredible and these programmes try to capture some of their fantastic stories.

The series features animal behaviours in natural habitats and under human control. There are also strong dissection scenes – because there is no other way to see the exact inner workings of some of the amazing animals we share the world with.
