Documentary – 66 minutes, 2014. BBC

Hidden Kingdoms is an innovative new series from the BBC’s Natural History Unit. For the first time it takes the viewer into a unique and unexplored miniature world, immersing you into the action-packed lives of the planet’s smaller animals.

What a tiny grasshopper mouse lacks in stature, it makes up for in attitude. It’s a fearsome creature capable of disarming the desert’s deadliest scorpions and venomous giant centipedes twice its size. It warns others of its presence like a tiny wolf, standing on hind legs, throwing back its head and howling at the moon. The power and athleticism of the tiniest creatures escapes our notice until the Hidden Kingdom cameras get close to the action.
