A daring photographer has captured some of nature’s most dangerous and adorable, creatures on film as never seen before – from the ground up.

The footage shows a variety of animals pacing unawares through the African undergrowth thanks to cameras placed in the ground by wildlife photographer Martin Harvey, 60, from Pretoria, South Africa.

Filming the animals required careful preparation on Martin’s behalf – each camera had to be placed in a hard box and then buried under the ground, so that the animals wouldn’t suspect they were being spied on.
