National Geographic Emerging Explorer Adrian Seymour has a knack not just for being in the right place at the right time, but for catching it all on camera as well. His films capture rarely seen people, places, and events and put them together in ways that tell stories few people would otherwise get to hear (listen to Adrian recounting his experience being attacked by an angry eagle while climbing a tree).

The video above reveals his most recent endeavor: to ascend to the top of the Honduran rain forest and position camera traps to record scenes of animal life in a parallel world, right here on Earth.
