The Secret Life of the Kangaroo is a fascinating nature documentary series that highlights the life and habits of one of the most iconic animals in Australia, the kangaroo. This show, produced by the Smithsonian Earth network, premiered in 2016 and features the knowledgeable and experienced host, Joel Davey.
Throughout the series, Davey takes viewers on a journey of exploration into the science, behavior, and biology of kangaroos. His aim is to unravel the mysteries of these unique marsupials and give us a clearer understanding of their incredible abilities and adaptations.
The show is set in various locations in Australia where the kangaroo is found, including the dry outback regions, the lush coastal areas, and the rocky mountain ranges. Each episode is carefully crafted to showcase the different aspects of the kangaroo's life, from their social behavior, reproductive patterns, and feeding habits to their physical attributes and unique adaptations.
The Secret Life of the Kangaroo has some spectacular cinematography, capturing the kangaroo's graceful hopping, and it's powerful hind legs that allow it to leap several meters in a single bound. The cameras get so close that we can see the texture of the kangaroo's fur and its long, muscular tail, which it uses to balance as it travels through Australia
