Behavioural ecologist and Environmental & Life Sciences (ENLS) Ph.D. candidate Sasha Newar got the chance to be behind the scenes of the filming of a new nature documentary Super/Natural.  

A collaboration with National Geographic and Disney+, this series showcases the unique and specialized traits of wildlife. 

Sasha is part of a team of researchers at Trent University, including Dr. Jeff Bowman from the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry located on campus, who are producing leading research on flying squirrels and were brought on as consultants to help film a segment about these fascinating animals.
