Lifesense is a six-part nature documentary television series produced by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, originally broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC1 in 1991. The series producer was John Downer and the narrator Andrew Sachs. It used groundbreaking effects and filming techniques to show how animals perceive the wildlife, pioneering techniques reveal our lives from the animal's point of view and creatures across the landscapes from the world around them. The same production team had made the series' predecessor Supersense in 1988 and would go on to make the follow-up series Supernatural: The Unseen Powers of Animals in 1999.
