Overview

Filmed over five years, in 43 countries, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, from the darkest caves to the hottest deserts, BBC Studios outdid itself once again with Planet Earth III. We were honored to be called back to support the cause in Indonesia.

In This Episode

Discover the extraordinary ways in which wildlife survives in a rapidly changing human world. From cobras hunting in houses to macaques stealing mobile phones to barter with.

In This Sequence

Thieving monkeys at Bali's Uluwatu Temple steal from tourists and barter for treats. Turns out they're master negotiators and know exactly what they want.

Jungle Run Production Services

Jungle Run wrangled unprecedented access at Bali's Uluwatu Temple, and provided daily support for this two-week shoot, including a ready stack of burner phones. The upshot is a sequence that proved a series highlight for David Attenborough. Queue clip #2, below...
