Spy in the Wild is a revolutionary nature documentary shot with hidden cameras disguised as robotic animals, capturing never-before-seen scenes of life in the wild.

In an advance clip released by the BBC, a female orangutan finds a saw and somehow works out what to do with it.

Using the opposable thumb, just like a human being, the female starts sawing tree branches like it's the most normal thing in the world.

As a robot orangutan joins her, the animal seems to be more and more enthusiastic in a competitive streak.

Eventually, she gets tired of all that sawing and loses the momentum.

Just like any of us would do.
