AI generation allowed an Australian designer to create a wildlife documentary showing the protective relationship between a giant Amazonian tarantula and a dotted humming frog inside its burrow, a scene the filmmaker says had not been captured on film in the wild because lights and cameras would interfere.

On 6 July 2026, The Guardian reported on Guardians of the Burrow, a short wildlife documentary by Australian designer Jodie Heenan that is entirely AI generated and depicts a giant Amazonian tarantula and a tiny dotted humming frog sharing a burrow. The film won a prize at the Omni international AI film festival. Heenan said no one had managed to capture the pair on film in the wild because lights and microscopic cameras would interfere with natural behaviour.
