Description

From pigeon spies to spy whales, the animal arms race has been a long-standing dream of spies. This episode explores the history of animal espionage, from German homing pigeons in the early 1900s to Russias brain-implanted pigeons and Chinas mosquito-sized robot flies. Despite failures like the CIAs Acoustic Kitty and paranoid busts like Irans squirrels, the race for animal spies continues, with nations eyeing every creature for an edge in the shadows.
