it's a very interesting show,
some pretty amazing footage and some very interesting tech involved.

I just saw a show about shore creatures and they had the coolest spy cam that I've seen on that show,

It was a soaring ? seagull?
but the propellers to make it fly were not on the beak or in the tail.

The propellers were under the out spread wings, and pointed vertically , not horizontally

so it could not go forward very fast, but could hover wonderfully .

That's how most remote control aerial drones are these days. They operate more like multi-rotor helicopters than airplanes, having 2/3/4/+ vertically-positioned rotors.

this is what they spy on the show looked like.
