MALE NARRATOR: Have you ever wondered
how photographers get so close to wild animals?
Well, the secret's
through the lens.
Let's zoom in
to take a closer look at animals
like never before.
We're flying over a field in Washington, Oregon.
"Look out below! I just had my lunch!
Ooh-hoo!"
There's a camera attached
to this golden eagle.
This eagle has been trained to fly and film.
"I'm posting my videos on Twitter!
Ha-ha!"
It can fly as fast as 30 miles per hour
and can stoop to speeds of 150 miles per hour.
That's pretty fast!
So hang on!
The eagle has landed!
Oh, nice hat.
This is a lipstick camera.
It's lightweight and easy to mount
on an animal.
By mounting a lightweight camera
to a bird's body, scientists and researchers
can study the bird's speed,
altitude,
and position.
"Whee! Look at me!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for flying with us.
We know you have a choice of airline.
Even if the landings are a bit... bumpy."
"I can't see anything-- oh, that's better.
Whoa!"
So, if you're looking to capture
an eagle's eye view of nature and wildlife,
well, then, grab a lipstick cam,
and fly.
Zoom in, focus,
and take in the wild world every day.
