A tiny, angry, desert rain frog blurts out an unexpected squeak.

There are all sorts of incredible species of animal in the world, but there are a few that we think are special. We love them for their big eyes or furry faces but we also fall for the sounds they make and the way they move - who doesn't love a waddling penguin? These animals have become online celebrities, with millions of us finding and sharing videos every day - a tiny snoring hummingbird or a sneezing panda is just too cute not to share.

Gordon Buchanan has dedicated his life to filming wildlife. He wants to understand why we have such a strong emotional response to these particular species. Why a baby panda makes us go all gooey or why a squeaking frog got over 11 million internet hits. Travelling to meet these super cute animals, he reveals the surprising science behind each of the animals we love so much, starting with one of the most iconic animals on the planet, the giant panda. The panda's beautiful markings set it apart, but it's that big round oversized head that makes it so unusual. Although we find the teddy bear look incredibly appealing, for the panda, the size of its head tells the story of millions of years of evolution and survival.

...but woke up and jumped down out of the chair and into my lap when he heard that ferocious war crying frog! He doesn't play with squeaky toys but that frog was speaking some kinda other message that he understood.

She was sound asleep wrapped in a blanket next to me.

When she heard the frog noise, she jumped up and was looking all around to see where the noise was coming from. She doesn't usually budge at all when I play animal videos.
