BBC 'robot baby monkey camera' draws attention from pack of Iangur monkeys'

For those of you mourning the end of'Planet Earth II', there's good news – a new animal documentary is set to hit our screens this week. Spy in the Wild is the BBC's latest documentary, in which cameras are concealed within lifelike robots, tracking how animals interact with them in the wild. In the first episode, a group of langur monkeys mistakes a robot as one of its own, and even goes into a state of grief when the robot is mistakenly dropped from a height. At first sight they look exactly like the real thing – cute, cuddly and in some cases terrifying creatures of the wild. It's only when you take a closer look that you realise the stars of BBC1's brilliant new wildlife series Spy In The Wild are nothing of the sort.
