Filming the White Rhino for Secrets of our Living Planet
Blog extract from Jasper Montana, BBC researcher for Secrets Of Our Living Planet and location director of episode two, The Secret Of The Savannah:
Water buffalo stood sodden and dripping with rain in the centre of the road, staring with a blank aggression as though they might charge at any moment but unable to decide if they could be bothered.
