While the camerawork is impressive, the emphasis is on storytelling and the very human emotions these creatures appear to express, from the sibling rivalry of a sulky teenage elephant to the jealousy of a jilted baboon in a love triangle.
There are lots of hugely dramatic moments – including a hunting leopard leaping from a treetop on to its prey – that you won’t have seen before.
