>• The producers and cameramen of Discovery's hit miniseries captured creatures of all sizes in their most divalike and endearing moments. Some highlights:
AFRICAN ELEPHANT
When a calf gets stuck in the mud-a main cause of death for them-an elder shows the young mom what to do. "It's called allomothering," says producer Martha Holmes.
SARCASTIC FRINGEHEAD
The fish, which fearlessly battled an octopus, "is incredibly territorial and grumpy," says producer Simon Blakeney. "They're tenacious and won't let themselves get beaten."
CAPUCHIN MONKEY
High-speed cameras were used to capture young capuchins learning to crack open nuts with rocks. "It's so like watching human toddlers pick up bricks or trying to feed themselves," Holmes says.
VOGELKOP BOWERBIRD
Chicks do dig bling! "A male gives the bower (dwelling) a good spruce-up," says producer Stephen Lyle. "All the latest flowers and insect wings are on display."
