The BBC has done some real good work documenting various aspects of Singapore.

They continue this trend with their newest series, Wild Cities.

Here's a succinct summary of what they're about, straight from the BBC themselves.

"Wild Cities is a series revealing the world’s most extraordinary wildlife living in the newest and fastest changing habitat on the planet - human cities."

Intriguing.

In a snippet of one of the episodes posted on Jan. 12, 2019, the host, Hannah Stitfall, travels to Singapore to take a look at the rare animals living in... The Botanic Gardens.

And oh boy, is the cinematography amazing.

Dense forest

The way it is filmed gives Botanic Gardens the feel of incredibly dense forestry.

Which is really refreshing.

Another refreshing aspect of the show is just how enthusiastic the host is.

She hushes her voice as she approaches a monitor lizard and runs to get a better view of smooth-coated otters on the other side.

She also laughs as she accidentally whacks her cameraman with a stray vine.

And she is generally fun, and engaging throughout.

The shots captured, like most BBC productions, are also quite extraordinary as well.

Here are the otters and the monitor lizard having a snack.

Awesome.

There are also interesting factoids about the featured animals, including the hornbill, the monitor lizard, the otters, and the paradise snake.
