Planet Earth II producer: Predators walk freely in 'Cities'

The final episode of Planet Earth II 鈥 entitled 鈥楥ities鈥 - offers a unique look at life in urban spaces through the eyes of animals.

Fredi Devas is the producer of the episode, and said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 such a new area of research to be thinking about the urban environment as a new habitat for species 鈥 some are thriving, but some are suffering as well.鈥

The 大象传媒 nature documentary series is attracting more than 12 million people each week and is on course to become the second most watched series of the year after The Great British Bake Off.

Fredi鈥檚 most extraordinary shoot was tracking spotted hyenas through Harrah, Ethiopia. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the second largest predator in Africa, it鈥檚 ferocious and possibly the most vilified animal on our planet 鈥 yet they walk the streets freely and people welcome them in. It shows how man and beast can cohabit peacefully.鈥
