ABC's beloved nature nerd, Dr Ann Jones gets up close with some elusive and sometimes dangerous wildlife in the new 6-part series Dr Ann's Secret Lives. The new series is set to premiere Tuesday 15 July at 8.30pm on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview.
Across the immersive series, Dr Ann steps into the field alongside scientists as they uncover the secrets of how these remarkable creatures adapt, survive, and thrive in their environments.
From dense rainforests to remote coastal regions, each episode offers a rare and intimate look at one animal. On the Great Barrier Reef, QLD, Dr Ann comes face-to face with a heavily pregnant bull shark, and in the Pilbara, WA, she goes fishing for deadly, mysterious sea snakes. In the steamy heart of Borneo's jungle Dr Ann looks for wild orangutans; and in the Dampier Archipelago, WA, she meets three species of turtle. In Moreton Bay, QLD, Dr Ann helps catch a dugong for an onboard health check, and along the edge of the Kinabatangan River in Borneo, she hunts for one of the weirdest mammals on the planet, the scaly, labrador-sized pangolin.
Dr Ann's infectious enthusiasm and deep respect for nature provides a unique perspective. Blending scientific inquiry with heartfelt storytelling, this series offers an intimate look into the challenges and triumphs of wildlife research.
