The BBC's Natural History Unit is at the cutting edge of time-lapse and other sorts of photographic trickery that reveal the real world in ways we cannot normally see; in Supernatural they usefully apply these techniques to the aspects of non-human life on earth that involve senses we do not possess. Much of what we are shown here is a matter of an ability to detect vibrations--a shark can spot incredibly minor electrical fluctuations from a mile or more away, and will attack even a piece of electrical apparatus that has just been turned off; rats sense earthquakes coming because of minor fluctuations of the water-table beneath city sewers. Many birds can see colours that do not exist for us--and deal with ultra-violet and infra-red radiation as well. We know time is relative--but some animals simply live faster or slower than we do. This is an excellent series at the borderland of science and weird stuff, which makes us see those things we normally cannot. --Roz Kaveney

This documentary is one of the best I have ever seen. It is very insightful to the way animals percieve the world around them, it made me realise just how different but also how amazing other creatures lives are to our own. I recomend that all of you out there that love documentaries should buy this, you won't be sorry. Very educational, I have learned things I never thought were possible such as how all organisms in the world have different perceptions of time. The filming of this documentary is awe enspiring, really breath taking. Something you will want to watch again, and again.

Being interested in animal behaviour I was surprised how many feats of animals were explained I didn't know about. For example I tried to read about the zigzag pattern zebra spiders (aka wasp-spiders) weav into their orb-web. I could never figure it out by prowling through books and the internet. But in this documentary you will find the astonishing answer along with many others, I might have never guessed at.
This documentary is quite keen to produce a visual eye candy. While you are circling a frozen pictures (as seen in the Matrix) it certainly makes a stunning effect but ads little to the story.
Sometimes they exaggerate or end up doing a lot of guesswork. Like for example the statement, that the fairy shrimps eggs can survive 10.000 years. Up to 15 years is reported (check with Wiki) and even that is amazing.
All together a highly entertaining and informativ presentation, suitable for all ages.
