Deadly Backyard Beasts
Episode 8 of 10
From budgies to beetles, wildlife expert Steve Backshall answers questions about beasts.
In this episode, Steve delves into the lives of the animals that live in and around our backyards. He explains how beetles find a mate, unravels the mystery of a trampoline tryst and reveals otters caught on camera by a clever viewer. We see a colourful escapee, a stick insect named Steve and a caterpillar colony that puts spiders to shame.
In a DIY demo, Steve then shows us how to make a super-speedy bird bath to keep our feathered friends clean and fresh!
