populated countries on earth.
13
00:00:38,129 --> 00:00:40,249

00:02:09,289 --> 00:02:11,169
but despite the maritime traffic
above,
42

Hundreds of years of coral
growth
56

Their elaborate dance moves help
their bodies build immunity
76
00:03:58,729 --> 00:03:59,889
to the anemone's sting.
77
00:04:03,049 --> 00:04:05,329
The clownfish's colorful scales
are also coated
78
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:08,769
in thick mucus, an additional
layer of protection.
79
00:04:11,529 --> 00:04:12,129
The cost of living here is worth
it.

The threat of the anemone's
toxic touch
83
00:04:19,049 --> 00:04:20,849
keeps the clownfish's predators
at bay.

(pleasant music)
86
00:04:28,329 --> 00:04:29,849
Fish aren't the only
beneficiaries
87
00:04:30,529 --> 00:04:32,129
of Singapore's remaining reefs.
88
00:04:34,169 --> 00:04:36,129
Here, sea slugs of all shapes
and colors can be found,

00:04:36,129 --> 00:04:37,129
Here, sea slugs of all shapes
and colors can be found,
90
00:04:37,809 --> 00:04:38,729
sending a clear message
91
00:04:39,649 --> 00:04:42,129
that their soft bodies contain
deadly toxins.
92
00:04:46,649 --> 00:04:48,129
Some graze on sponges.
93
00:04:48,129 --> 00:04:48,609
Some graze on sponges.
94

Totally blind, they smell and
feel their way

to their next meal.
96
00:04:56,329 --> 00:04:57,489
They've got plenty to choose
from,

00:05:06,129 --> 00:05:07,129
This sponge is not just lunch,
101
00:05:08,009 --> 00:05:10,649
but also home to one very
strange fish.

a long muscular tail,
106
00:05:29,649 --> 00:05:30,129
a tube for teeth.
107
00:05:30,129 --> 00:05:31,089
a tube for teeth.
108
00:05:36,089 --> 00:05:36,129
A tiger tail, a rare species of
seahorse,

A tiger tail, a rare species of
seahorse,
110
00:05:39,809 --> 00:05:40,569

(stirring music)
115
00:05:52,049 --> 00:05:54,129
A poor swimmer, he uses his
strong tail
116
00:05:54,769 --> 00:05:56,289
to anchor onto the sponge.
117
00:06:03,649 --> 00:06:05,449
He's on the hunt for lunch.

(stirring music)
120
00:06:12,649 --> 00:06:14,129
Barely moving, the seahorse
121
00:06:15,049 --> 00:06:17,329
remains hidden against the
background.
122
00:06:18,329 --> 00:06:20,889
He's almost indistinguishable
from his surroundings
123
00:06:21,649 --> 00:06:23,129
whilst his eyes do the
searching.
124
00:06:26,049 --> 00:06:28,649
He rotates each eye
independently,
125
00:06:29,649 --> 00:06:30,129
following passing prey without
giving the game away.

His long tube-like snout sucks
up unsuspecting

00:06:42,009 --> 00:06:42,129
microscopic crustaceans,
swallowing them whole.
129

Seahorses have no stomachs,
131
00:06:51,289 --> 00:06:53,289
and must eat almost constantly
to stay alive.
132
00:06:56,169 --> 00:06:59,649
They can consume up to 3,000
shrimp in a single day.

(pleasant music)
134

But he's not just eating for
one,
136

he's got babies on board.
137
00:07:14,889 --> 00:07:16,969
Unusually, it's the seahorse

00:07:18,049 --> 00:07:18,129
that carries the young in a
special pouch on his abdomen.
139

that carries the young in a
special pouch on his abdomen.
140
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:26,409
Two weeks from now, he will give
birth
141
00:07:27,049 --> 00:07:28,129
to hundreds of little ones.
142
00:07:33,129 --> 00:07:35,289
Born into the shelter of
Singapore's reefs,
143
00:07:37,129 --> 00:07:39,009
some will have a good chance of
survival.
144

This young seahorse, and many
others living here,
146

(monkeys groaning)
181
00:09:16,329 --> 00:09:18,129
The island plays host to a tribe
of crab eating macaques.
182
00:09:18,129 --> 00:09:20,049
The island plays host to a tribe
of crab eating macaques.
183
00:09:20,569 --> 00:09:22,889
(monkeys groaning)
184
00:09:23,929 --> 00:09:24,129
Isolated from the city by
unrelenting ocean currents,
185
00:09:24,129 --> 00:09:27,089
Isolated from the city by
unrelenting ocean currents,
186
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:30,129
(waves crashing)
187
00:09:30,129 --> 00:09:30,609
(waves crashing)
188
00:09:31,289 --> 00:09:34,009
these are no band of brothers.
189
00:09:34,529 --> 00:09:36,129
(monkeys groaning)
190
00:09:36,129 --> 00:09:36,609
(monkeys groaning)
191
00:09:37,529 --> 00:09:40,129
Competition for females and food
is fierce.
192
00:09:46,169 --> 00:09:48,089
On the mainland, male macaques
leave home
193
00:09:48,769 --> 00:09:50,249
at around five years of age,
194
00:09:51,169 --> 00:09:52,929
searching for a troop of their
own to lead.
195
00:09:58,249 --> 00:10:00,129
Here on Big Sister, the males
are stuck
196
00:10:00,129 --> 00:10:00,569
Here on Big Sister, the males
are stuck
197
00:10:01,329 --> 00:10:02,769
with no possible escape in
sight.
198
00:10:05,889 --> 00:10:06,129
The dominant males have almost
exclusive access
199
00:10:06,129 --> 00:10:08,369
The dominant males have almost
exclusive access
200
00:10:08,889 --> 00:10:10,409
to all the females.
201
00:10:11,449 --> 00:10:12,129
Young ones find it hard to get
all the food they need,
202
00:10:12,129 --> 00:10:13,529
Young ones find it hard to get
all the food they need,
203
00:10:14,609 --> 00:10:16,729
if they're to grow big enough to
challenge their elders.
204
00:10:19,609 --> 00:10:21,729
The island has a limited larder,
205
00:10:22,529 --> 00:10:24,129
seeds and grasses are no
substitute
206
00:10:24,849 --> 00:10:26,129
for sugary tropical fruits.
207
00:10:27,609 --> 00:10:29,929
(stirring music)
208
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:36,129
So when an opportunity arises
for a decent feed,
209
00:10:36,929 --> 00:10:37,769
like when treasures are left
behind
210
00:10:38,529 --> 00:10:40,969
by visiting tourists, it's all
on.
211
00:10:43,849 --> 00:10:46,169
He who rules the rubbish tin may
rule the troop.
212
00:10:50,929 --> 00:10:53,529
One would be usurper has seen an
opening.
213
00:10:54,049 --> 00:10:54,129
(monkeys groaning)
214
00:10:54,129 --> 00:10:56,449
(monkeys groaning)
215
00:10:59,809 --> 00:11:00,129
It's game on.
216
00:11:00,129 --> 00:11:01,209
It's game on.
217
00:11:01,729 --> 00:11:04,129
(monkeys groaning)
218
00:11:10,089 --> 00:11:10,569
At the edge of the island,
219
00:11:11,409 --> 00:11:12,129
it's a sharp drop to treacherous
waters.
220
00:11:12,129 --> 00:11:13,529
it's a sharp drop to treacherous
waters.
221
00:11:16,249 --> 00:11:17,089
There's nowhere to run.
222
00:11:18,329 --> 00:11:20,049
(monkeys groaning)
223
00:11:20,569 --> 00:11:22,689
(stirring music)
224
00:11:23,529 --> 00:11:24,129
A band of dominant males join
together.
225
00:11:24,129 --> 00:11:26,609
A band of dominant males join

226
00:11:27,129 --> 00:11:29,569
(monkeys groaning)
227
00:11:31,249 --> 00:11:33,969
Pushing this young upstart to
the very brink,
228
00:11:35,689 --> 00:11:36,129
(water splashing)
229
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:38,129
(water splashing)
230
00:11:39,009 --> 00:11:40,489
but he's not going down without
a fight.

00:11:41,849 --> 00:11:42,129
(stirring music)
232
00:11:42,129 --> 00:11:44,169

(gentle music)
236
00:12:17,089 --> 00:12:18,129
The final face off, and it's
over.
237
00:12:18,129 --> 00:12:20,529
The final face off, and it's
over.
238
00:12:23,929 --> 00:12:24,129
The threat of deep water seems
to have been enough
239
00:12:24,129 --> 00:12:26,129
The threat of deep water seems
to have been enough
240
00:12:27,009 --> 00:12:29,129
to make the underling cower into
submission.
241
00:12:32,289 --> 00:12:34,129
The dominant males maintain
their control,
242
00:12:35,929 --> 00:12:36,129
but the fight has left its
marks.
243
00:12:36,129 --> 00:12:37,329
but the fight has left its

00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:41,129
(gentle music)
245
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:45,249
(stirring music)
246
00:12:46,329 --> 00:12:48,129
Other battles on these wild
islands are waged underwater.

Other battles on these wild
islands are waged underwater.
248
00:12:51,969 --> 00:12:52,769
In the open ocean,
249
00:12:55,809 --> 00:12:58,129
danger is never far away.
250
00:12:58,649 --> 00:13:00,129
(stirring music)
251
00:13:00,129 --> 00:13:00,889

Singapore is one of the most
densely
254
00:13:06,129 --> 00:13:06,449
Singapore is one of the most
densely
255
00:13:07,089 --> 00:13:08,289
populated cities on earth.
256
00:13:12,769 --> 00:13:13,609
The need for space
257
00:13:14,529 --> 00:13:16,729
has driven the nation upwards
and outwards.
258
00:13:20,609 --> 00:13:23,769
Even the mainland's closest
neighbors are being taken over.
259
00:13:24,289 --> 00:13:25,009
(pleasant music)
260
00:13:25,649 --> 00:13:26,729
Keppel Island, at the edge
261
00:13:27,609 --> 00:13:29,409
of the city center, has been
transformed.
262
00:13:31,409 --> 00:13:33,169
The area has become a marina,
263
00:13:34,129 --> 00:13:36,129
a playground for super yachts
and millionaires.
264
00:13:36,129 --> 00:13:36,249
a playground for super yachts
and millionaires.
265
00:13:38,529 --> 00:13:40,089
But some determined creatures
266
00:13:41,089 --> 00:13:42,129
have claimed this exclusive
location as their own.
267
00:13:42,129 --> 00:13:43,529
have claimed this exclusive

Despite the constant boat
traffic, underwater,
269
00:13:48,129 --> 00:13:50,809
Despite the constant boat
traffic, underwater,
270
00:13:51,809 --> 00:13:54,129
a coral reef has unexpectedly
established itself.
271
00:13:54,129 --> 00:13:54,409
a coral reef has unexpectedly
established itself.

(pleasant music)
273
00:14:00,289 --> 00:14:03,129
The marina's sturdy floating
pontoons have given corals
274
00:14:04,049 --> 00:14:06,129
and seaweeds a new place to
attach and grow.
275
00:14:06,129 --> 00:14:06,769
and seaweeds a new place to
attach and grow.
276
00:14:11,169 --> 00:14:12,129
As well as shelter, there's
plenty of food here,
277
00:14:12,129 --> 00:14:13,129
As well as shelter, there's
plenty of food here,
278
00:14:14,009 --> 00:14:15,529
attracting schools of butterfly
fish.
279
00:14:19,009 --> 00:14:20,209
The marina has encouraged the
reef
280
00:14:20,889 --> 00:14:22,929
with a uniquely open design.
281
00:14:23,889 --> 00:14:24,129
It allows currents to flow
through the pontoons,
282
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:26,049
It allows currents to flow
through the pontoons,
283
00:14:27,009 --> 00:14:29,289
bringing fresh nutrients from
the ocean daily.

00:14:31,009 --> 00:14:32,769
(pleasant music)
285
00:14:33,809 --> 00:14:36,129
Nearly 50 types of encrusting
marine animals live here
286
00:14:36,129 --> 00:14:36,889
Nearly 50 types of encrusting
marine animals live here
287
00:14:37,489 --> 00:14:38,369
in a community structure,
288
00:14:39,249 --> 00:14:41,489
similar to Singapore's wild
coral reefs.
289
00:14:45,049 --> 00:14:47,889
Cardinal fish hover near pylons,
waiting for the cover
290
00:14:48,769 --> 00:14:51,129
of darkness to feed on tiny
crustaceans.
291
00:14:55,249 --> 00:14:58,529
During the day, fan worms here
catch an easy meal.
292
00:14:59,569 --> 00:15:00,129
Tiny beating hairs on each of
their feathery branches
293
00:15:00,129 --> 00:15:01,769
Tiny beating hairs on each of
their feathery branches
294
00:15:02,609 --> 00:15:04,689
collect food from the incoming
current.
295
00:15:07,969 --> 00:15:11,929
It's a natural born ecosystem,
thriving in a manmade marina
296
00:15:12,689 --> 00:15:13,609
right on the edge of the city.
297
00:15:16,049 --> 00:15:17,609
(stirring music)
298
00:15:18,569 --> 00:15:22,049
Beyond the urban coastline lies
Pulau Semakau,
299
00:15:22,889 --> 00:15:24,129
one of Singapore's outermost
islands.
300
00:15:24,129 --> 00:15:24,409
one of Singapore's outermost

Here, other recently installed
manmade structures

Here, other recently installed
manmade structures
304
00:15:33,049 --> 00:15:35,169
have also created a new
underwater world.
305
00:15:38,089 --> 00:15:40,489
As at Keppel Island, the
oxygen-rich currents
306
00:15:41,489 --> 00:15:42,129
provide the perfect environment
for growing fish.

This is one of more than 100
fish farms

This is one of more than 100
fish farms
310
00:15:50,489 --> 00:15:52,169
operating off the nation's
coastline,

00:15:52,849 --> 00:15:54,129
and that number is set to grow.

(stirring music)
314
00:16:02,249 --> 00:16:05,129
Here, thousands of barramundi
are kept in enclosures
315
00:16:05,969 --> 00:16:06,129
formed by nets suspended in the
water.

(pleasant music)
319
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:17,009
They're destined for the city's
dinner tables,
320
00:16:17,769 --> 00:16:18,129
but it's not just urban
residents
321
00:16:18,129 --> 00:16:19,129
but it's not just urban
residents
322
00:16:19,889 --> 00:16:20,929
these fish farms are feeding.

(pleasant music)
325
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:29,009
The nets have attracted wild
fish
326
00:16:29,929 --> 00:16:30,129
and ocean drifters to an
artificial bounty.
327
00:16:30,129 --> 00:16:32,449

00:16:34,529 --> 00:16:36,129
Algae growing on the cages make
an easy grazing field
329
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:37,289
Algae growing on the cages make
an easy grazing field
330
00:16:37,889 --> 00:16:39,489
for round-faced bat fish.
331
00:16:42,889 --> 00:16:45,249
Often found in small groups,
there's enough food here
332
00:16:45,889 --> 00:16:47,289
to support larger numbers.
333
00:16:49,009 --> 00:16:51,289
(pleasant music)
334
00:16:58,089 --> 00:17:00,129
The net's buoy ropes have also
become home
335
00:17:00,729 --> 00:17:01,889
for a blenny mimic.
336
00:17:04,729 --> 00:17:06,129
This is a first record of the
species in Singaporean waters.
337
00:17:06,129 --> 00:17:07,729
This is a first record of the
species in Singaporean waters.
338
00:17:10,569 --> 00:17:12,009
But soon, there may be more to
come.
339
00:17:13,769 --> 00:17:15,129
One male has made a nest
340
00:17:15,969 --> 00:17:17,769
inside the rope's encrusting
growth.
341
00:17:19,569 --> 00:17:21,009
He's hoping to lure a mate.
342
00:17:23,649 --> 00:17:24,129

(water bubbling)
344
00:17:26,609 --> 00:17:28,609
Here comes a potential willing
customer.

(pleasant music)
346
00:17:39,049 --> 00:17:40,209
After a quick assessment,
347
00:17:41,169 --> 00:17:42,129
she displays her rounded belly
towards the nest,
348
00:17:42,129 --> 00:17:43,969
she displays her rounded belly
towards the nest,
349
00:17:44,569 --> 00:17:46,129
a sign she's impressed.
350
00:17:48,529 --> 00:17:50,129
Time to seal the deal.
351
00:17:51,569 --> 00:17:53,809
(pleasant music)
352
00:17:54,609 --> 00:17:57,009
She enters the nest to lay her
eggs,
353
00:18:00,729 --> 00:18:03,129
and the lucky male quickly
follows suit to fertilize them.
354
00:18:07,369 --> 00:18:09,369
These tiny opportunists have
turned
355
00:18:10,249 --> 00:18:12,009
the city's fish farms to their
advantage.
356

Out here in the open water,
358
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:24,129
finding food and shelter is no
easy task.
359
00:18:24,129 --> 00:18:26,209
finding food and shelter is no
easy task.
360
00:18:30,929 --> 00:18:34,129
Without manmade structures or
the shelter of a coral reef,
361
00:18:34,649 --> 00:18:35,489
(anemone groaning)
362
00:18:36,129 --> 00:18:37,369
there are few places to hide,
363
00:18:40,289 --> 00:18:42,129
and hungry mouths are lurking.
364
00:18:42,129 --> 00:18:42,929
and hungry mouths are lurking.
365
00:18:43,449 --> 00:18:45,689
(stirring music)
366
00:18:51,969 --> 00:18:54,129
(pleasant music)
367
00:18:54,129 --> 00:18:54,729
(pleasant music)
368
00:18:55,689 --> 00:18:58,329
A pair of pistol shrimps have
solved the problem
369
00:18:59,009 --> 00:19:00,129
by digging a burrow for shelter.
370
00:19:00,129 --> 00:19:00,689
by digging a burrow for shelter.
371
00:19:04,929 --> 00:19:06,129
Knowing when to hide in it is
more difficult,
372
00:19:06,129 --> 00:19:06,769
Knowing when to hide in it is
more difficult,
373
00:19:07,449 --> 00:19:09,449
they're almost completely blind.
374
00:19:09,929 --> 00:19:12,129
(pleasant music)
375
00:19:12,129 --> 00:19:12,209
(pleasant music)
376
00:19:14,329 --> 00:19:16,969
Thankfully, they have a
housemate with perfect vision
377
00:19:17,609 --> 00:19:18,129
to keep a lookout for them,
378
00:19:18,129 --> 00:19:18,489
to keep a lookout for them,
379
00:19:20,769 --> 00:19:22,449
the yellow watchman goby.
380
00:19:27,089 --> 00:19:29,129
He lives inside the burrow with
the shrimp.
381
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:32,769
For free rent and board, he acts
as their sentinel.
382
00:19:35,649 --> 00:19:36,129
Nothing will stop his vigil.
383
00:19:36,129 --> 00:19:36,929
Nothing will stop his vigil.
384
00:19:39,009 --> 00:19:40,889
Even while eating, he's got both
eyes open
385
00:19:41,489 --> 00:19:42,129
for approaching danger.
386
00:19:42,129 --> 00:19:42,409
for approaching danger.
387
00:19:45,249 --> 00:19:46,689
In this underwater desert,
388
00:19:47,569 --> 00:19:48,129
strong currents wash over the
household.
389
00:19:48,129 --> 00:19:49,129
strong currents wash over the
household.
390
00:19:54,169 --> 00:19:55,369
The burrow takes the brunt of
it,
391
00:19:56,249 --> 00:19:58,089
risking collapse under the
shifting sands.
392
00:20:00,089 --> 00:20:00,129
So the shrimp are in permanent
renovation mode.
393
00:20:00,129 --> 00:20:02,769
So the shrimp are in permanent
renovation mode.
394
00:20:04,289 --> 00:20:06,129
(pleasant music)
395
00:20:06,129 --> 00:20:06,609
(pleasant music)
396
00:20:08,889 --> 00:20:10,609
Despite the shrimp's
shortsightedness,
397
00:20:11,609 --> 00:20:12,129
the trio is in constant
communication using touch.
398
00:20:12,129 --> 00:20:14,489
the trio is in constant
communication using touch.
399
00:20:18,849 --> 00:20:22,049
The busy builders rest their
antennae on the goby's tail,
400
00:20:23,169 --> 00:20:24,129
waiting for a signal in case a
hungry mouth comes too close.
401
00:20:24,129 --> 00:20:25,929
waiting for a signal in case a
hungry mouth comes too close.

00:20:28,969 --> 00:20:30,129
(stirring music)
403
00:20:30,129 --> 00:20:31,289
(stirring music)
404
00:20:33,329 --> 00:20:36,129
A cuttlefish on the hunt, shrimp
make an excellent lunch.
405
00:20:36,129 --> 00:20:37,249
A cuttlefish on the hunt, shrimp
make an excellent lunch.
406
00:20:39,609 --> 00:20:41,929
(stirring music)
407
00:20:44,129 --> 00:20:46,129
A flick of the goby's tail is a
signal
408
00:20:46,729 --> 00:20:47,449
to return to the burrow.
409
00:20:50,929 --> 00:20:53,249
(water bubbling)
410
00:20:55,369 --> 00:20:58,529
Hidden underground, the three
remain safely out of sight.
411
00:21:00,889 --> 00:21:02,689
The coast is clear.
412
00:21:03,209 --> 00:21:05,689
(pleasant music)
413
00:21:06,369 --> 00:21:07,529
As soon as the threat passes,
414
00:21:08,209 --> 00:21:09,289
it's back to business as usual.
415
00:21:12,849 --> 00:21:15,249
By working and living together,
the goby and shrimp
416
00:21:16,249 --> 00:21:18,129
have found safety in these
dangerous open waters.
417
00:21:18,129 --> 00:21:18,729
have found safety in these
dangerous open waters.
418
00:21:20,969 --> 00:21:22,329
(water flowing)
419
00:21:23,209 --> 00:21:24,129
The cuttlefish heads to the
nearby reef.
420
00:21:24,129 --> 00:21:25,409
The cuttlefish heads to the
nearby reef.
421
00:21:27,009 --> 00:21:29,449
(pleasant music)
422
00:21:30,089 --> 00:21:30,129
Here, this master of disguise
423
00:21:30,129 --> 00:21:31,729
Here, this master of disguise
424
00:21:32,409 --> 00:21:34,129
can hide from its own predators.
425
00:21:37,009 --> 00:21:39,889
Cuttlefish are among the most
intelligent of marine animals,
426
00:21:40,569 --> 00:21:42,129
with an unusually large brain.
427
00:21:42,129 --> 00:21:42,409
with an unusually large brain.
428
00:21:45,729 --> 00:21:48,129
They can't see color, yet their
sophisticated eyes
429
00:21:48,129 --> 00:21:48,169
They can't see color, yet their
sophisticated eyes
430
00:21:49,289 --> 00:21:52,129
scan their surroundings and
transform their bodies to match.
431
00:21:56,369 --> 00:21:58,249
Thousands of pigment cells
underneath the skin
432
00:21:59,129 --> 00:22:00,129
can change color and texture in
seconds.
433
00:22:00,129 --> 00:22:02,129
can change color and texture in

434
00:22:02,689 --> 00:22:04,929
(pleasant music)
435
00:22:08,169 --> 00:22:10,529
Hidden in plain sight amongst
the surrounding weeds.
436
00:22:15,969 --> 00:22:18,129
After dark, other wild island
creatures emerge,
437
00:22:18,129 --> 00:22:19,169
After dark, other wild island
creatures emerge,
438
00:22:19,969 --> 00:22:22,129
and they're on the hunt for
dinner.
439
00:22:22,729 --> 00:22:24,129
(upbeat music)
440
00:22:24,129 --> 00:22:24,809
(upbeat music)
441
00:22:28,609 --> 00:22:30,129
Morning on Big Sister island,
442
00:22:30,129 --> 00:22:30,889
Morning on Big Sister island,
443
00:22:33,089 --> 00:22:34,489
the maroon macaques are awake,
444
00:22:35,329 --> 00:22:36,129
ready to begin the business of
the day.
445
00:22:36,129 --> 00:22:36,689
ready to begin the business of
the day.
446
00:22:38,809 --> 00:22:41,209
(gentle music)
447
00:22:41,769 --> 00:22:42,129
The ritual grooming.
448
00:22:42,129 --> 00:22:43,209
The ritual grooming.
449
00:22:47,569 --> 00:22:48,129
After the recent infighting, the
gentle behavior is a chance
450
00:22:48,129 --> 00:22:50,889
After the recent infighting, the
gentle behavior is a chance
451
00:22:51,809 --> 00:22:54,129
to restore calm within this
isolated group.
452
00:22:55,849 --> 00:22:58,369
(birds chirping)
453
00:22:58,849 --> 00:23:00,129
(gentle music)
454
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:01,449
(gentle music)
455
00:23:02,529 --> 00:23:05,209
The higher ranking troop members
are groomed most often.
456
00:23:07,249 --> 00:23:09,729
In macaque society, junior
individuals,
457
00:23:10,649 --> 00:23:12,129
by regularly attending to their
superiors,
458
00:23:12,129 --> 00:23:12,569
by regularly attending to their
superiors,
459
00:23:13,689 --> 00:23:16,129
can gain protection and greater
standing within the group.
460
00:23:18,489 --> 00:23:20,689
But the young upstart who dared
challenges leaders
461
00:23:21,529 --> 00:23:22,849
is still being given the cold
shoulder.
462
00:23:24,289 --> 00:23:25,169
(monkeys groaning)
463
00:23:26,089 --> 00:23:27,929
For now, he'll have to look
after himself.
464
00:23:30,929 --> 00:23:33,129
Morning routine done, it's time
for breakfast.
465
00:23:35,249 --> 00:23:36,129
(waves crashing)
466
00:23:36,129 --> 00:23:38,289
(waves crashing)
467
00:23:38,769 --> 00:23:40,689
(stirring music)
468
00:23:41,569 --> 00:23:42,129
Now the city visitors have left
the island,
469
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:43,529
Now the city visitors have left
the island,
470
00:23:44,129 --> 00:23:46,329
it's back to bare basics.
471
00:23:46,849 --> 00:23:48,129
(stirring music)
472
00:23:48,129 --> 00:23:49,129
(stirring music)
473
00:23:52,049 --> 00:23:54,129
A hopeful search for wave-washed
treasure
474
00:23:56,889 --> 00:24:00,129
proves fruitless, this is a
thirsty work.
475
00:24:00,129 --> 00:24:01,089
proves fruitless, this is a
thirsty work.
476
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:04,809
With no lakes or streams on the
island,
477
00:24:06,649 --> 00:24:10,009
it seems all they can do is hope
and wait for the rains.
478
00:24:10,489 --> 00:24:12,129
(stirring music)
479
00:24:12,729 --> 00:24:14,129
Water, water everywhere,
480
00:24:16,489 --> 00:24:17,769
but not a drop to drink.
481
00:24:19,769 --> 00:24:22,129
(stirring music)
482
00:24:22,729 --> 00:24:23,889
(gentle music)
483
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:25,129
And yet, on other islands,
484
00:24:30,129 --> 00:24:34,129
mangrove forests thrive in these
same coastal waters.
485
00:24:34,649 --> 00:24:36,129
(gentle music)
486
00:24:36,129 --> 00:24:36,769
(gentle music)
487
00:24:38,609 --> 00:24:41,449
Their salt-tolerant roots form
dense networks,
488
00:24:42,369 --> 00:24:44,569
holding the plants upright in
soggy ground.
489
00:24:46,689 --> 00:24:47,249
(gentle music)
490
00:24:47,929 --> 00:24:48,129
They provide a unique habitat
491
00:24:48,129 --> 00:24:49,249
They provide a unique habitat
492
00:24:50,129 --> 00:24:52,009
for tree climbing crabs and mud
skippers,
493
00:24:54,969 --> 00:24:57,489
and a feeding ground for
migratory birds.
494
00:24:58,009 --> 00:25:00,129
(birds chirping)
495
00:25:00,129 --> 00:25:00,329
(birds chirping)
496
00:25:00,809 --> 00:25:03,129
(gentle music)
497
00:25:04,209 --> 00:25:06,129
Once, much of Singapore's
coastline looked like this,
498
00:25:06,129 --> 00:25:06,889
Once, much of Singapore's
coastline looked like this,
499
00:25:09,889 --> 00:25:12,129
but less than 10% of the
country's mangroves now remain.
500
00:25:12,129 --> 00:25:12,809
but less than 10% of the
country's mangroves now remain.
501
00:25:17,329 --> 00:25:18,129
What's left is an irreplaceable
home
502
00:25:18,129 --> 00:25:19,129
What's left is an irreplaceable
home
503
00:25:19,769 --> 00:25:21,609
for countless local species.
504
00:25:25,529 --> 00:25:29,209
These green fringes though
aren't always safe havens.
505
00:25:29,809 --> 00:25:30,129
On the northern islands,
506
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:30,489
On the northern islands,
507
00:25:31,289 --> 00:25:34,329
the mangroves are rife with
killers.
508
00:25:34,809 --> 00:25:36,129
(stirring music)
509
00:25:36,129 --> 00:25:37,129
(stirring music)
510
00:25:48,089 --> 00:25:48,129
Female golden orb spiders are
among the largest
511
00:25:48,129 --> 00:25:50,729
Female golden orb spiders are
among the largest
512
00:25:51,529 --> 00:25:52,889
web spinning species in the
world.
513
00:25:56,409 --> 00:25:59,489
And in the spider community,
size does matter.
514
00:26:00,769 --> 00:26:01,689
(stirring music)
515
00:26:02,809 --> 00:26:05,889
The male of this species is so
small compared to his female,
516
00:26:06,729 --> 00:26:08,809
that she may not even know he
exists.
517
00:26:11,649 --> 00:26:12,129
Unless she's in need a little
top up snack,
518
00:26:12,129 --> 00:26:14,969
Unless she's in need a little
top up snack,
519
00:26:15,929 --> 00:26:17,929
it's going to be difficult to
win her affections.
520
00:26:19,569 --> 00:26:21,569
While she's busy eating an
unlucky fly,
521
00:26:22,169 --> 00:26:24,129
he makes his approach.
522
00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:27,569
(stirring music)
523
00:26:28,649 --> 00:26:30,129
A little seduction is in order
in the form of a massage.
524
00:26:30,129 --> 00:26:31,529
A little seduction is in order
in the form of a massage.
525
00:26:37,169 --> 00:26:40,729
His legs gently rub her body and
wrap it in silk,
526
00:26:41,569 --> 00:26:42,129
it's an attempt to calm her
aggression.
527
00:26:42,129 --> 00:26:43,329
it's an attempt to calm her
aggression.
528
00:26:46,969 --> 00:26:48,129
If she's receptive, she will
stay still
529
00:26:48,129 --> 00:26:49,449
If she's receptive, she will
stay still
530
00:26:50,049 --> 00:26:51,249
while he mates with her.
531
00:26:51,729 --> 00:26:53,489
(stirring music)
532
00:26:54,009 --> 00:26:54,129
No such luck here,
533
00:26:54,129 --> 00:26:55,329
No such luck here,
534
00:26:56,329 --> 00:26:58,889
a kick of the legs is a sign
she's not in the mood.
535
00:27:02,609 --> 00:27:05,209
But at least this time, he's not
been turned into lunch.
536
00:27:07,169 --> 00:27:10,129
(insects chirping)
537
00:27:10,809 --> 00:27:11,929
In the waters below the web,
538
00:27:12,849 --> 00:27:14,529
another eight-legged creature is
on the hunt,
539
00:27:18,569 --> 00:27:21,089
an octopus straying from its
ocean home.
540
00:27:23,929 --> 00:27:24,129
But an even more unexpected
danger
541
00:27:24,129 --> 00:27:26,049
But an even more unexpected
danger
542
00:27:26,729 --> 00:27:28,529
is lurking in the murky waters.
543
00:27:30,889 --> 00:27:33,209
(stirring music)
544
00:27:34,609 --> 00:27:35,129
Bullseye.

00:27:42,129 --> 00:27:43,689
(water splashing)
547
00:27:45,569 --> 00:27:48,129
The archer fish has developed a
unique ability
548
00:27:49,089 --> 00:27:50,209
to shoot a high pressure jet of
water
549
00:27:50,889 --> 00:27:52,289
from its mouth at its victim.
550
00:27:54,809 --> 00:27:57,129
(stirring music)
551
00:28:09,409 --> 00:28:12,129
It takes practice, carefully
judging distances and weight,
552
00:28:12,129 --> 00:28:13,049
It takes practice, carefully
judging distances and weight,
553
00:28:13,969 --> 00:28:15,729
and even adjusting for the way
the light bends
554
00:28:16,409 --> 00:28:17,489
when crossing from air to water.
555
00:28:24,089 --> 00:28:24,129
Target acquired, fire.
556
00:28:24,129 --> 00:28:25,289
Target acquired, fire.
557
00:28:31,649 --> 00:28:33,929
(pleasant music)
558
00:28:36,089 --> 00:28:36,129
Collecting the meal can hold its
own challenges.
559
00:28:36,129 --> 00:28:38,169
Collecting the meal can hold its
own challenges.
560
00:28:40,569 --> 00:28:41,489
Here in the mangroves,
561
00:28:42,569 --> 00:28:45,289
free loaders are always on the
lookout for an easy lunch.
562
00:28:48,409 --> 00:28:51,129
Sometimes a more direct approach
is a safer bet.
563

(insects chirping)
568
00:29:08,809 --> 00:29:12,009
Darkness brings other mangrove
residents to life.
569
00:29:15,929 --> 00:29:18,129
Some try and get some rest, but
it pays to be vigilant.

00:29:18,129 --> 00:29:19,929

Here be monsters on the prowl.
573

Here be monsters on the prowl.

(stirring music)
576
00:29:36,889 --> 00:29:38,769
A dog faced water snake,
577
00:29:41,169 --> 00:29:42,129
perfectly adapted to this dark,
muddy environment.
578
00:29:42,129 --> 00:29:44,169
perfectly adapted to this dark,
muddy environment.
579
00:29:46,209 --> 00:29:48,129
It has the ability to keep most
of its body
580
00:29:49,169 --> 00:29:51,369
up off the sticky sludge, and so
moves efficiently
581
00:29:51,969 --> 00:29:53,049
across the mangrove mud.
582
00:29:56,329 --> 00:29:57,929
Even water is no barrier,
583
00:30:00,729 --> 00:30:02,129
but a welcomed second home.
584
00:30:04,889 --> 00:30:06,129
Here, it's fast when it needs to
be,
585
00:30:06,129 --> 00:30:06,689
Here, it's fast when it needs to
be,
586
00:30:09,369 --> 00:30:12,129
and then it stops and almost
vanishes.
587
00:30:14,969 --> 00:30:18,129
Its long, thin body is easily
mistaken for a stray root,
588
00:30:18,129 --> 00:30:18,449
Its long, thin body is easily
mistaken for a stray root,
589
00:30:21,249 --> 00:30:23,929
but this camouflage is not just
for hiding.
590
00:30:25,409 --> 00:30:27,809
The snake is on a mission.
591
00:30:28,569 --> 00:30:30,129
Tiny fish and tadpoles are
trapped
592
00:30:30,129 --> 00:30:30,529
Tiny fish and tadpoles are
trapped
593
00:30:31,169 --> 00:30:32,769
in these shallow tidal pools.

(stirring music)
596
00:30:38,849 --> 00:30:41,449
Catching them requires stealth
and patience.

(stirring music)
600
00:30:54,489 --> 00:30:57,249
Nostrils and eyes based at the
top of its head
601
00:30:58,169 --> 00:31:00,129
earn the snake its name, and
allow it to see
602
00:31:00,129 --> 00:31:01,249
earn the snake its name, and
allow it to see
603
00:31:01,849 --> 00:31:03,009
and breathe above water,
604
00:31:04,769 --> 00:31:06,129
while its body remains hidden in
the murky depths.
605
00:31:06,129 --> 00:31:07,209
while its body remains hidden in
the murky depths.
606
00:31:10,689 --> 00:31:12,129
It can stay poised like this for
hours.
607
00:31:12,129 --> 00:31:14,049
It can stay poised like this for
hours.
608
00:31:14,569 --> 00:31:15,129
(stirring music)
609
00:31:16,329 --> 00:31:18,129
The snake's senses are tuned not
to sight, but movement.
610
00:31:18,129 --> 00:31:19,409
The snake's senses are tuned not
to sight, but movement.
611
00:31:26,449 --> 00:31:27,689
(quick snapping)
612
00:31:28,369 --> 00:31:30,129
Dinner comes to those who wait.
613
00:31:30,129 --> 00:31:30,289
Dinner comes to those who wait.
614
00:31:32,689 --> 00:31:34,969
(stirring music)
615
00:31:37,449 --> 00:31:40,809
Beyond the mangroves, the coral
reefs are also stirring.
616
00:31:41,329 --> 00:31:42,129
(pleasant music)
617
00:31:42,129 --> 00:31:44,129
(pleasant music)
618
00:31:45,209 --> 00:31:48,129
A shy reef octopus has been
hiding in its den all day.
619
00:31:48,129 --> 00:31:48,809
A shy reef octopus has been
hiding in its den all day.
620
00:31:51,049 --> 00:31:54,129
Nothing like an evening stroll
to stretch the tentacles.
621
00:31:57,969 --> 00:32:00,129
This is a master of rough
terrain.
622
00:32:03,609 --> 00:32:05,569
Each tentacle is covered in two
rows of strong
623
00:32:06,449 --> 00:32:08,449
and sensitive suckers, helping
the octopus
624
00:32:09,129 --> 00:32:10,129
crawl across the reef rubble
625
00:32:12,409 --> 00:32:14,649
and move any tiresome obstacles
out of the way.
626
00:32:18,569 --> 00:32:21,529
With a body devoid of bones, it
can transform itself
627
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:24,129
into a net, totally enveloping
coral colonies
628
00:32:24,129 --> 00:32:25,249
into a net, totally enveloping
coral colonies
629
00:32:26,049 --> 00:32:27,769
while it suckers scour the
undersides
630
00:32:28,329 --> 00:32:29,569
for well-hidden snacks.
631
00:32:31,329 --> 00:32:33,649
(stirring music)
632
00:32:41,169 --> 00:32:42,129
No crevice is too small for this
contortionist,
633
00:32:42,129 --> 00:32:44,049
No crevice is too small for this
contortionist,
634
00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:46,289
useful when it has to disappear.
635
00:32:48,729 --> 00:32:50,289
Predator can become prey.
636
00:32:52,049 --> 00:32:54,129

(stingray shuffling)
640
00:33:04,649 --> 00:33:06,009
Combined with an April full
moon,
641
00:33:06,929 --> 00:33:09,369
it's an annual signal for new
life to begin.
642
00:33:10,609 --> 00:33:12,129
(stirring music)
643
00:33:12,129 --> 00:33:13,089
(stirring music)
644
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:21,089
As if on cue, the reef's corals
and anemones
645
00:33:22,089 --> 00:33:24,129
release trillions of sperm and
eggs into the water.

They float to the surface to mix
and fertilize.

They float to the surface to mix
and fertilize.
652
00:33:40,009 --> 00:33:41,689
The resulting larvae will drift
with the tide
653
00:33:42,649 --> 00:33:44,889
surrounding the islands over the
next few weeks.
654
00:33:47,049 --> 00:33:48,129
Eventually, they will grow heavy
enough
655
00:33:48,649 --> 00:33:50,449
to sink and settle.
656
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:54,009

call this place home.

Other island newborns have only
just learned to swim,

00:34:12,569 --> 00:34:16,209
are they're about to take the
plunge into deep water.

Beyond Singapore's busy port lie

Welcome to Singapore's tropical
beach, Ido.

Surrounding nature often goes
unnoticed

when playtime is the top
priority.

they emerge in their hundreds at

they emerge in their hundreds at
low tide to feed.
690

The ocean has left behind

These tidy leftovers are a sign
of what's been eaten,
699
00:35:58,329 --> 00:35:59,449
and what's still up for grabs,

the perfect system until a pushy
neighbor comes along.

00:36:36,129 --> 00:36:36,809
(gentle music)
713
00:36:38,769 --> 00:36:41,009
(wind howling)
714
00:36:47,049 --> 00:36:48,129
(thunder booming)
715
00:36:48,129 --> 00:36:49,449
(thunder booming)
716
00:36:52,769 --> 00:36:54,129
On Big Sister Island,
717
00:36:55,009 --> 00:36:57,129
the macaques' wait for the rain
is over.
718
00:36:59,689 --> 00:37:00,129
(rain falling)
719
00:37:00,129 --> 00:37:02,249
(rain falling)
720
00:37:03,169 --> 00:37:06,129
Singapore's monsoons bring daily
rainstorms,
721
00:37:06,129 --> 00:37:06,369
Singapore's monsoons bring daily
rainstorms,
722
00:37:08,489 --> 00:37:09,129
relief at last,
723
00:37:13,089 --> 00:37:14,729
and the macaques know how to
take full advantage.
724
00:37:19,689 --> 00:37:22,009
(pleasant music)
725
00:37:26,329 --> 00:37:29,569
Hollows in the island's trees
have filled with rainwater,
726
00:37:30,089 --> 00:37:30,129
a chance to drink.
727
00:37:30,129 --> 00:37:31,049
a chance to drink.
728
00:37:33,409 --> 00:37:34,209
And for the island's young,
729
00:37:35,049 --> 00:37:36,129
to learn a trick essential for
survival.
730
00:37:36,129 --> 00:37:36,689
to learn a trick essential for
survival.
731
00:37:39,329 --> 00:37:41,369
But others don't always want to
wait their turn.
732
00:37:44,409 --> 00:37:46,849
(insect wings fluttering)
733
00:37:47,689 --> 00:37:48,129
Thankfully, the rain has also
brought
734
00:37:48,129 --> 00:37:49,529
Thankfully, the rain has also
brought
735
00:37:50,329 --> 00:37:54,129
a more abundant bonus, flying
ants.
736
00:37:54,129 --> 00:37:54,569
a more abundant bonus, flying
ants.
737
00:37:58,609 --> 00:38:00,129
The heavy downpour and warm
temperatures
738
00:38:00,129 --> 00:38:00,809
The heavy downpour and warm
temperatures
739
00:38:01,849 --> 00:38:03,769
have triggered them to swarm in
search of a new home.
740
00:38:06,769 --> 00:38:08,369
(pleasant music)
741
00:38:09,169 --> 00:38:11,449
It's a timely protein-filled
banquet
742
00:38:12,329 --> 00:38:14,809
for the hungry macaques,
peaceful at last.
743
00:38:16,569 --> 00:38:18,129
(pleasant music)
744
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,049
(pleasant music)
745
00:38:20,169 --> 00:38:23,209
The rains have turned Sister
Island into a place of bounty,
746
00:38:24,169 --> 00:38:26,929
a true tropical paradise just
beyond the city.
747
00:38:30,529 --> 00:38:32,889
And off its shores, stretching
40 hectares
748
00:38:33,569 --> 00:38:34,329
across the southern islands,
749
00:38:38,969 --> 00:38:41,369
the country's first ever marine
park.
750
00:38:41,849 --> 00:38:42,129
(pleasant music)
751
00:38:42,129 --> 00:38:44,129
(pleasant music)
752
00:38:46,529 --> 00:38:48,129
It's a buffer against the ever
encroaching port,
753
00:38:48,129 --> 00:38:49,129
It's a buffer against the ever
encroaching port,
754
00:38:51,169 --> 00:38:54,129
and a safe haven for an
astonishing array of creatures.
755
00:38:55,569 --> 00:38:58,009
(pleasant music)
756
00:39:02,129 --> 00:39:04,969
Even the incredibly rare has
found a safe place here.
757
00:39:08,849 --> 00:39:12,129
This Neptune's cup sponge is one
of the only two
758
00:39:13,049 --> 00:39:14,449
known to exist in the whole
world.
759
00:39:17,729 --> 00:39:18,129
They became victims of over
collection,
760
00:39:18,129 --> 00:39:19,489
They became victims of over
collection,
761
00:39:20,169 --> 00:39:21,089
and then were thought extinct.
762
00:39:23,369 --> 00:39:24,129
These survivors have only
recently been found
763
00:39:24,129 --> 00:39:25,449
These survivors have only
recently been found
764
00:39:26,529 --> 00:39:29,689
alive and well, right here in
the waters of Singapore.
765
00:39:32,169 --> 00:39:35,169
Rare as they are, they're not
the only VIP guests here.
766
00:39:38,449 --> 00:39:41,409
Giant clams were lost to land
reclamation projects,
767
00:39:42,049 --> 00:39:42,129
and vanished from the area.
768
00:39:42,129 --> 00:39:44,049
and vanished from the area.
769
00:39:45,209 --> 00:39:48,129
A breeding and monitoring
program is working to
reintroduce
770
00:39:48,129 --> 00:39:48,209
A breeding and monitoring
program is working to
reintroduce
771
00:39:49,049 --> 00:39:50,609
the colossal shellfish to these
waters.
772
00:39:53,409 --> 00:39:54,129
But to thrive, they need to be
left in peace,
773
00:39:54,129 --> 00:39:56,049
But to thrive, they need to be
left in peace,
774
00:39:56,969 --> 00:39:58,769
finally possible here in the
Sister Islands'
775
00:39:59,369 --> 00:40:00,129
protected marine park.
776
00:40:00,129 --> 00:40:00,729
protected marine park.
777
00:40:02,049 --> 00:40:04,809
(clam shutting)
778
00:40:05,289 --> 00:40:06,129
(gentle music)
779
00:40:06,129 --> 00:40:07,369
(gentle music)
780
00:40:13,649 --> 00:40:16,929
In a busy city like Singapore,
wildlife often takes refuge
781
00:40:17,929 --> 00:40:18,129
in the few hidden pockets
undisturbed by humans.
782
00:40:18,129 --> 00:40:20,889
in the few hidden pockets
undisturbed by humans.
783
00:40:23,729 --> 00:40:24,129
In the north lies one such rare
place, Coney Island.
784
00:40:24,129 --> 00:40:27,129
In the north lies one such rare
place, Coney Island.
785
00:40:30,889 --> 00:40:33,929
Unlike the marine park, this is
an accidental sanctuary.
786
00:40:36,409 --> 00:40:37,769
It was once destined to become
787
00:40:38,849 --> 00:40:42,129
Singapore's very own theme park,
but plans were abandoned
788
00:40:42,129 --> 00:40:42,289
Singapore's very own theme park,
but plans were abandoned
789
00:40:43,209 --> 00:40:45,449
and it was closed to the public
for 20 years,
790
00:40:47,009 --> 00:40:48,129
leaving it free to become a
haven
791
00:40:48,129 --> 00:40:48,889
leaving it free to become a
haven
792
00:40:49,569 --> 00:40:51,129
for plants and animals alike.
793
00:40:53,449 --> 00:40:54,129
The ideal place to raise a young
family.
794
00:40:54,129 --> 00:40:55,849
The ideal place to raise a young
family.
795
00:41:01,649 --> 00:41:03,889
Three new, smooth-coated otter
pups
796
00:41:04,809 --> 00:41:06,129
have been making the best of
this quiet spot.
797
00:41:06,129 --> 00:41:06,489
have been making the best of
this quiet spot.
798
00:41:08,409 --> 00:41:11,129
They're the latest arrivals in
this large family.
799
00:41:14,169 --> 00:41:15,729
A good roll around is the
perfect way
800
00:41:16,569 --> 00:41:18,129
for everyone to dry and clean
their fur
801
00:41:18,129 --> 00:41:18,369
for everyone to dry and clean
their fur
802
00:41:19,369 --> 00:41:21,289
before heading out on another
morning's adventure.
803
00:41:24,089 --> 00:41:24,129
At around two months old, the
pups are joining the family
804
00:41:24,129 --> 00:41:26,569
At around two months old, the
pups are joining the family
805
00:41:27,129 --> 00:41:28,129
on a serious mission.
806
00:41:31,569 --> 00:41:33,569
(pleasant music)
807
00:41:34,529 --> 00:41:36,129
Surrounded by mom, dad, and
their older brothers
808
00:41:36,129 --> 00:41:36,649
Surrounded by mom, dad, and
their older brothers
809
00:41:37,449 --> 00:41:39,209
and sisters, the pups make a
beeline
810
00:41:40,049 --> 00:41:41,369
for the island's surrounding
reservoir.
811
00:41:43,049 --> 00:41:45,609
They're on the hunt for a fresh
fish breakfast.
812
00:41:49,409 --> 00:41:51,969
Mom and dad won't provide
forever, so it's essential
813
00:41:52,889 --> 00:41:54,129
that the pups learn to fend for
themselves.
814
00:41:54,129 --> 00:41:54,409
that the pups learn to fend for
themselves.
815
00:41:56,889 --> 00:41:58,289
But they've only just learned to
swim,
816
00:41:59,329 --> 00:42:00,129
so far, sticking to the safety
of the islands' shallows.
817
00:42:00,129 --> 00:42:01,529
so far, sticking to the safety
of the islands' shallows.
818
00:42:04,449 --> 00:42:06,129
(airplane swooshing)
819
00:42:06,129 --> 00:42:07,089
(airplane swooshing)
820
00:42:10,769 --> 00:42:12,129
Time to take the plunge into
deeper unfamiliar waters.
821
00:42:12,129 --> 00:42:14,809
Time to take the plunge into
deeper unfamiliar waters.
822
00:42:15,569 --> 00:42:18,129
(boat motor purring)
823
00:42:18,809 --> 00:42:20,209
The family travels in tandem,
824
00:42:21,049 --> 00:42:23,049
adults surrounding the pups for
safety.
825
00:42:25,809 --> 00:42:27,889
In this fish filled reservoir,
826
00:42:28,729 --> 00:42:30,129
it's not long before the hunt
begins.
827
00:42:30,129 --> 00:42:30,969
it's not long before the hunt
begins.
828
00:42:32,689 --> 00:42:35,089
(water splashing)
829
00:42:44,649 --> 00:42:46,889
The pubs are watching, learning
the tricks of their trade.
830
00:42:49,329 --> 00:42:51,809
The aim is to confuse the fish
to make them easier to catch.
831
00:42:55,129 --> 00:42:56,609
Their siblings are expert
hunters.
832
00:42:57,289 --> 00:42:58,369
If the pups want to succeed,
833
00:42:59,249 --> 00:43:00,129
they will need to get right in
their too.
834
00:43:00,129 --> 00:43:01,449
they will need to get right in
their too.
835
00:43:01,929 --> 00:43:04,129
(upbeat music)
836
00:43:06,489 --> 00:43:08,129
The fish are fast and slippery.
837
00:43:09,569 --> 00:43:12,009
(stirring music)
838
00:43:16,609 --> 00:43:18,129
But with a little help, a catch.
839
00:43:18,129 --> 00:43:18,689
But with a little help, a catch.
840
00:43:22,409 --> 00:43:23,969
(water splashing)
841
00:43:24,449 --> 00:43:26,209
(pleasant music)
842
00:43:27,289 --> 00:43:29,689
The fish may be small this time,
but the adults will share
843
00:43:30,609 --> 00:43:33,369
their spoils after they've had
their own fill.
844
00:43:33,849 --> 00:43:36,129
(pleasant music)
845
00:43:40,089 --> 00:43:42,049
Fully grown otters can hold
themselves upright
846
00:43:42,609 --> 00:43:43,849
in deep water to eat,
847
00:43:47,249 --> 00:43:48,129
a technique this young pup
hasn't quite mastered yet.
848
00:43:48,129 --> 00:43:50,129
a technique this young pup
hasn't quite mastered yet.
849
00:43:50,969 --> 00:43:52,409
A steady rock, though, does the
trick.
850
00:43:55,369 --> 00:43:56,649
With the help of their large
family,
851
00:43:57,729 --> 00:44:00,129
the three pups are slowly
gaining skills and confidence.
852
00:44:00,129 --> 00:44:00,809
the three pups are slowly
gaining skills and confidence.
853
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:04,769
But for now, there's still time
to enjoy mom's attention,
854
00:44:06,129 --> 00:44:07,129
at least for a little while.
855
00:44:09,329 --> 00:44:11,649
(pleasant music)
856
00:44:14,329 --> 00:44:17,209
Coney Island has recently
reopened its doors to visitors,
857
00:44:18,289 --> 00:44:20,809
so the future of this quiet
sanctuary is set to change.
858
00:44:25,529 --> 00:44:28,129
But given a little space,
Singapore's wildlife
859
00:44:29,009 --> 00:44:30,129
has proved itself surprisingly
resilient.
860
00:44:30,129 --> 00:44:31,409
has proved itself surprisingly
resilient.
861
00:44:35,089 --> 00:44:36,129
(upbeat music)
862
00:44:36,129 --> 00:44:37,929
(upbeat music)
863
00:44:38,889 --> 00:44:41,569
From natural mangrove forests to
tropical reefs,
864
00:44:42,569 --> 00:44:46,129
the islands and waters here are
rich and diverse.
865
00:44:46,609 --> 00:44:48,129
(upbeat music)
866
00:44:48,129 --> 00:44:48,849
(upbeat music)
867
00:44:51,529 --> 00:44:52,849
The animals face challenges,
868
00:44:55,969 --> 00:44:57,409
yet embrace opportunities.
869
00:45:00,769 --> 00:45:01,769
With a helping hand,
870
00:45:02,609 --> 00:45:04,329
all kinds of creatures can still
thrive,
871
00:45:06,489 --> 00:45:10,729
colorful, rare, unusual.
872
00:45:13,289 --> 00:45:14,969
A unique natural heritage,
873
00:45:17,889 --> 00:45:18,129
on the islands beyond the wild
city.
874
00:45:18,129 --> 00:45:20,889
on the islands beyond the wild
city.
875
00:45:25,569 --> 00:45:27,969
(pleasant music)

(pleasant music continues)
877
00:45:48,129 --> 00:45:50,609
