Also in this episode was a shoot that involved the team driving hundreds of miles trying to track down a huge swarm of locusts.
“After all of the problems and everything we went through, to have ended the shoot in such an epic way felt euphoric.”
Using a helicopter, they managed to capture rare footage of a plague of several billion locusts flying through the air.
Planet Earth’s fourth episode of the second series aired last night and there were plenty of highlights, but one of the best has to be a dramatic chase in the Namib desert starring a determined pride of lions and an even-more determined giraffe.
