- [Narrator] In the heart of
Southeast Asia,
3
00:00:07,329 --> 00:00:10,369
one of the fastest developing
cities on Earth,
4
00:00:10,889 --> 00:00:12,129
(dramatic music)
5
00:00:13,049 --> 00:00:16,569
Singapore, a thriving futuristic
metropolis,

(bird chirps)
7
00:00:18,329 --> 00:00:18,889
(dramatic music)
8
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:22,329
where the wild has adapted to an
urban life.
9
00:00:23,929 --> 00:00:24,129
(water splashes) (dramatic

(bird chirping)
12
00:00:28,169 --> 00:00:29,449
But on the fringes of the city,
13
00:00:30,089 --> 00:00:30,129
there is still wilderness.
14
00:00:30,129 --> 00:00:32,129
there is still wilderness.
15
00:00:32,689 --> 00:00:34,529
(suspenseful music)
16
00:00:34,929 --> 00:00:36,129
Rainforest.
17
00:00:36,129 --> 00:00:36,449
Rainforest.
18
00:00:36,929 --> 00:00:38,849
(dramatic music)
19
00:00:39,649 --> 00:00:41,009
An extraordinary variety of
animals
20
00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:42,129
and plants live here in this
multi-layered habitat.
21
00:00:42,129 --> 00:00:45,209
and plants live here in this
multi-layered habitat.
22
00:00:45,689 --> 00:00:47,529
(dramatic music)
23
00:00:48,169 --> 00:00:49,369
From the high leafy canopy
24
00:00:50,969 --> 00:00:52,729
to the darkness of the forest
floor,
25
00:00:53,209 --> 00:00:53,969
(dramatic music)
26
00:00:54,449 --> 00:00:55,129
(bird squawks)
27
00:00:56,129 --> 00:00:59,049
the jungle is teaming with
unexpected life,
28
00:00:59,569 --> 00:01:00,129
(dramatic music)
29
00:01:00,129 --> 00:01:00,889
(dramatic music)
30
00:01:01,409 --> 00:01:01,929
(thunder rumbling)
31
00:01:02,569 --> 00:01:03,889
where species have to battle
32
00:01:04,449 --> 00:01:05,489
if they are to survive.
33
00:01:05,969 --> 00:01:06,129
(dramatic music)
34
00:01:06,129 --> 00:01:06,889
(dramatic music)
35
00:01:07,689 --> 00:01:09,889
These are the extraordinary
locals
36
00:01:11,329 --> 00:01:12,129
that still live in the forest
37
00:01:12,129 --> 00:01:12,649
that still live in the forest
38
00:01:13,169 --> 00:01:15,129
(suspenseful music)
39
00:01:15,649 --> 00:01:17,209
of the Wild City.

00:01:35,449 --> 00:01:36,129
Rainforests contain a greater
variety
45
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:37,489
Rainforests contain a greater
variety
46
00:01:38,369 --> 00:01:40,729
of species than any other
habitat on land.
47
00:01:44,209 --> 00:01:48,129
Here there is an abundance of
light, water, and nutrients
48
00:01:50,009 --> 00:01:54,089
that together create a lush
tropical world.
49
00:01:56,769 --> 00:01:58,769
Even in the city's small forest
preserves,
50
00:01:59,329 --> 00:02:00,129
(light gentle music)
51
00:02:00,929 --> 00:02:03,049
the diversity is astonishing.
52
00:02:03,569 --> 00:02:05,969
(insects trilling)
53
00:02:07,969 --> 00:02:10,369
(leaves rustling)
54
00:02:11,969 --> 00:02:12,129
And here, surprisingly,
55
00:02:12,129 --> 00:02:13,289
And here, surprisingly,
56
00:02:15,129 --> 00:02:17,569
lives one of the least known
primates in world.
57
00:02:19,689 --> 00:02:21,929

This is a Raffles' banded

a large tree-dwelling monkey,
66
00:02:37,409 --> 00:02:39,209
that is found only in Malaysia
67
00:02:39,769 --> 00:02:40,929
and here in Singapore.
68
00:02:41,489 --> 00:02:42,129
(light gentle music)
69
00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:42,489
(light gentle music)
70
00:02:43,409 --> 00:02:45,209
Elsewhere, the forest where they
once lived
71
00:02:45,729 --> 00:02:46,729
has been destroyed.
72
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:51,689
Only a few hundred individuals
survive,
73
00:02:55,169 --> 00:02:58,889
and this forest in Singapore
contains about 60 of them.
74
00:02:59,449 --> 00:03:00,129

(birds chirping)
78
00:03:07,969 --> 00:03:09,289
They're just over a meter tall,

00:03:10,169 --> 00:03:12,129
the largest non-human primate in
the city,
80
00:03:12,129 --> 00:03:12,289
the largest non-human primate in
the city,
81
00:03:15,449 --> 00:03:17,089
but very few people here
82
00:03:17,769 --> 00:03:18,129
even know of their existence.
83
00:03:18,129 --> 00:03:19,689
even know of their existence.
84
00:03:22,849 --> 00:03:24,129
Shy, secretive, and elusive,
85
00:03:24,129 --> 00:03:26,409
Shy, secretive, and elusive,
86
00:03:27,449 --> 00:03:30,129
they live in small family groups
high in the treetops.

00:03:31,049 --> 00:03:34,089
(birds chirping) (insects

88
00:03:34,729 --> 00:03:34,889

(light quirky music)
91
00:03:38,769 --> 00:03:39,889
This troop of nine
92
00:03:40,449 --> 00:03:41,209
is one of the largest.
93
00:03:44,169 --> 00:03:44,889
The boss of the group,
94
00:03:45,569 --> 00:03:47,489
the alpha male, has been busy.
95
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:51,129
(leaves rustling)
96
00:03:52,729 --> 00:03:54,129
He's fathered four youngsters
97
00:03:54,129 --> 00:03:54,369
He's fathered four youngsters
98
00:03:54,929 --> 00:03:56,049
in the last few years.
99
00:04:00,089 --> 00:04:00,129
The baby of the family is just
over 12-months-old.
100
00:04:00,129 --> 00:04:02,409
The baby of the family is just
over 12-months-old.
101
00:04:07,529 --> 00:04:09,929
Dad is a hands-off parent.
102
00:04:14,289 --> 00:04:15,969
Mom cares for the baby.
103
00:04:18,609 --> 00:04:19,289
And at this age,
104
00:04:19,929 --> 00:04:20,689
the youngster still has a lot
105
00:04:21,449 --> 00:04:23,809
to learn about life in the
canopy.
106
00:04:24,369 --> 00:04:27,049
(bright upbeat music)
107
00:04:30,809 --> 00:04:33,129
(light gentle music)
108
00:04:34,009 --> 00:04:36,129
The largest rainforest trees in
Singapore
109
00:04:36,809 --> 00:04:38,769
stand over 40 meters tall.
110
00:04:39,329 --> 00:04:41,209
(light gentle music)
111
00:04:42,209 --> 00:04:45,409
These giants tower above the
rest of the vegetation.
112
00:04:45,969 --> 00:04:48,129
(light gentle music)
113
00:04:48,129 --> 00:04:48,169
(light gentle music)
114
00:04:49,169 --> 00:04:51,569
Their canopy is the sunniest
place in the jungle.
115
00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:57,689
Below, life is not as bright.
116
00:05:01,049 --> 00:05:03,849
Only around 10% of the sun's
rays
117
00:05:04,529 --> 00:05:05,929
filter down to the understory,
118
00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:12,129
and on the forest floor it's
even darker.
119
00:05:12,129 --> 00:05:12,769
and on the forest floor it's
even darker.
120
00:05:13,329 --> 00:05:15,449
(light gentle music)
121
00:05:16,009 --> 00:05:17,049
Each of the residents
122
00:05:17,729 --> 00:05:18,129
has its own particular niche
123
00:05:18,129 --> 00:05:18,889
has its own particular niche
124
00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:20,769
within this multi-layered world.
125
00:05:22,409 --> 00:05:24,129
(light gentle music)
126
00:05:24,129 --> 00:05:24,569
(light gentle music)
127
00:05:25,209 --> 00:05:26,729
And halfway up a tree trunk
128
00:05:27,409 --> 00:05:29,129
is home for a little lizard,
129
00:05:34,129 --> 00:05:35,769
a black-bearded Draco,
130
00:05:37,809 --> 00:05:39,289
marvelously camouflaged.
131
00:05:40,129 --> 00:05:42,129
(birds chirping) (insects
chittering)
132
00:05:42,129 --> 00:05:43,489
(birds chirping) (insects

133
00:05:44,049 --> 00:05:46,529
(light curious music)
134
00:05:47,049 --> 00:05:48,129
It seldom, if ever,
135
00:05:48,809 --> 00:05:50,009
descends to the ground.
136
00:05:50,569 --> 00:05:53,129
(light curious music)
137
00:05:53,649 --> 00:05:54,129
And why should he?
138
00:05:54,129 --> 00:05:54,729
And why should he?
139
00:05:55,529 --> 00:05:57,889
Up here, he has everything he
needs.
140
00:05:58,369 --> 00:06:00,129
(birds chirping)
141
00:06:00,129 --> 00:06:00,649
(birds chirping)
142
00:06:05,009 --> 00:06:06,129
Lunch comes to him,
143
00:06:06,129 --> 00:06:06,329
Lunch comes to him,
144
00:06:07,009 --> 00:06:09,049
like a well-oiled sushi train.
145
00:06:10,809 --> 00:06:12,129
(light dramatic music)
146
00:06:12,129 --> 00:06:12,969
(light dramatic music)
147
00:06:13,769 --> 00:06:15,649
He has a specialized sticky
tongue,
148
00:06:16,489 --> 00:06:17,889
with which he collects what he
fancies.
149
00:06:20,449 --> 00:06:22,289
The buffet almost never runs
out.
150
00:06:24,169 --> 00:06:24,649
This one.
151
00:06:26,169 --> 00:06:27,329
Not to worry.
152
00:06:28,089 --> 00:06:29,129
Plenty more where that came
from.
153
00:06:33,889 --> 00:06:35,089
In just a few minutes,
154
00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:36,129
he gulps down over 20 ants.
155
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:37,649
he gulps down over 20 ants.
156
00:06:41,569 --> 00:06:42,129
Life on the trunk is pretty
good,
157
00:06:42,129 --> 00:06:43,249
Life on the trunk is pretty
good,
158
00:06:46,609 --> 00:06:48,129
but living in the understory by
yourself can be lonely.
159
00:06:48,129 --> 00:06:50,289
but living in the understory by
yourself can be lonely.
160
00:06:50,769 --> 00:06:52,169
(mellow music)
161
00:06:52,929 --> 00:06:54,129
It's time for him to find a
mate,
162
00:06:54,129 --> 00:06:55,009
It's time for him to find a
mate,
163
00:06:56,889 --> 00:06:58,449
but he's marvelously disguised
164
00:06:58,969 --> 00:07:00,009
as a piece of bark.
165
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:03,529
How will a possible partner even
see him?
166
00:07:07,609 --> 00:07:09,169
Well, he has a flag.
167
00:07:11,289 --> 00:07:12,089
(dramatic music)
168
00:07:13,089 --> 00:07:15,569
A throat flap that he can
display when he wants to.
169
00:07:18,809 --> 00:07:20,129
It warns off other males
170
00:07:22,129 --> 00:07:23,729
and attracts the females.
171
00:07:24,289 --> 00:07:26,849
(light upbeat music)
172
00:07:30,129 --> 00:07:31,569
This one gets the message.
173
00:07:34,889 --> 00:07:36,129
(light gentle music)
174
00:07:36,129 --> 00:07:37,529
(light gentle music)
175
00:07:44,649 --> 00:07:46,209
Things progress fast.
176
00:07:46,809 --> 00:07:48,129
She's already moved in,
177
00:07:48,129 --> 00:07:48,369
She's already moved in,
178
00:07:48,929 --> 00:07:51,489
(light gentle music)
179
00:07:54,209 --> 00:07:55,409
but there's a problem.
180
00:07:58,289 --> 00:07:59,129
(distant hissing)
181
00:07:59,609 --> 00:08:00,129
(ominous music)
182
00:08:00,129 --> 00:08:01,129
(ominous music)
183
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:02,609
(birds chirping)
184
00:08:03,129 --> 00:08:03,889
The male signals
185
00:08:04,489 --> 00:08:05,369
have caught the attention
186
00:08:06,009 --> 00:08:06,129
of an Oriental whip snake.
187
00:08:06,129 --> 00:08:07,889
of an Oriental whip snake.
188
00:08:08,569 --> 00:08:11,529
(ominous music) (birds chirping)
189
00:08:12,289 --> 00:08:14,169
It too, is a master of
camouflage
190
00:08:14,809 --> 00:08:16,609
and a very skilled hunter.
191
00:08:17,089 --> 00:08:18,129
(ominous music)
192
00:08:18,129 --> 00:08:19,249
(ominous music)
193
00:08:25,209 --> 00:08:27,889
Its elongated eyes set far
forward on its head,
194
00:08:28,489 --> 00:08:29,489
give it excellent vision,
195
00:08:33,849 --> 00:08:35,129
and the pencil-sized lizard
196
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:36,129
would make an excellent meal.
197
00:08:36,129 --> 00:08:37,769
would make an excellent meal.

00:08:43,649 --> 00:08:45,449
(suspenseful music)
200
00:08:46,129 --> 00:08:47,289
He forgets about the female.
201
00:08:47,769 --> 00:08:48,129
(snake hissing)
202
00:08:48,129 --> 00:08:49,129
(snake hissing)
203
00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:51,729
It's every lizard for himself.

(suspenseful music)
205
00:08:54,129 --> 00:08:54,209
(suspenseful music)
206
00:08:54,769 --> 00:08:56,129
So he takes the air.
207
00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:59,769
(dramatic theatrical music)
208
00:09:03,249 --> 00:09:05,129
He unfolds skinny wings,
209
00:09:05,769 --> 00:09:06,129
one on each flank,
210
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:06,489
one on each flank,
211
00:09:07,569 --> 00:09:10,529
that enable him to glide over 10
meters in a single jump.
212
00:09:11,169 --> 00:09:12,129
(dramatic theatrical music)
213
00:09:12,129 --> 00:09:14,209
(dramatic theatrical music)
214
00:09:19,849 --> 00:09:21,809
Now safe on another tree,
215
00:09:22,609 --> 00:09:24,129
it's time to return to
invisibility.
216
00:09:24,129 --> 00:09:24,889
it's time to return to

Singapore's forest reserves are
small.
220
00:09:36,129 --> 00:09:36,329
Singapore's forest reserves are
small.
221
00:09:38,729 --> 00:09:41,289
The largest of them is just over
2,000 hectares.

But between them they contain

But between them they contain
20,000 species

of land living animals and

And deep in the jungle,
231
00:10:00,409 --> 00:10:02,329
new species are still being
discovered.
232
00:10:03,889 --> 00:10:04,689

With darkness,
238
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:18,129
an extraordinary rarity appears.

00:10:25,289 --> 00:10:27,329
A tiny greater mouse-deer.

00:10:29,409 --> 00:10:30,129
This pint-sized little creature
was thought
244
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:31,569
This pint-sized little creature
was thought
245
00:10:32,489 --> 00:10:35,209
to have become extinct here over
80 years ago,
246
00:10:36,089 --> 00:10:36,129
but just recently it's been
rediscovered
247
00:10:36,129 --> 00:10:38,369
but just recently it's been
rediscovered
248
00:10:39,249 --> 00:10:41,129
on one of the country's offshore
islands.

Standing at just over 30
centimeters tall,

mouse-deer are one of the
smallest

of all hooved animals.

00:10:57,289 --> 00:10:58,889
They feed mostly on fruit
257

that has fallen from above.

(light gentle music)
264
00:11:14,449 --> 00:11:16,369
They are solitary little
creatures,
265
00:11:17,289 --> 00:11:18,129
and they are, understandably,
very nervous,
266
00:11:18,129 --> 00:11:20,849
and they are, understandably,
very nervous,
267
00:11:21,769 --> 00:11:24,129
for they have no defense, except
invisibility.

Tiptoeing about on tiny hooves,
271
00:11:29,809 --> 00:11:30,129
they move through the
undergrowth
272
00:11:30,129 --> 00:11:31,129
they move through the
undergrowth
273
00:11:31,729 --> 00:11:32,929
without making a sound.

(light munching)
276
00:11:37,569 --> 00:11:38,809
It's safer to hide,
277
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:41,209
and then sit down for a meal.
278
00:11:41,769 --> 00:11:42,129

With a chambered stomach like a
cow's,
281
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:51,729
the mouse-deer has to chew and
re-chew every mouthful.

The rediscovery of a species
like this
287
00:12:12,289 --> 00:12:15,129
in such a small country is truly
remarkable,

(gentle music) (soft sniffing)
289
00:12:17,929 --> 00:12:18,129
and who knows what other secrets
290
00:12:18,129 --> 00:12:18,929
and who knows what other secrets
291
00:12:19,609 --> 00:12:21,489
the forest may still contain.

(bright idyllic music)
297
00:12:37,049 --> 00:12:38,449
In the Central Forest of
Singapore,
298
00:12:42,449 --> 00:12:45,129
life in the treetops can be
idyllic.
299

(light idyllic music)
300
00:12:48,449 --> 00:12:50,129
There's plenty of food to go
around,

(birds chirping nearby)
302
00:12:56,049 --> 00:12:59,369
but it still takes skill to
survive in the upper canopy.

Youngsters in the langur troop
306
00:13:04,169 --> 00:13:06,009
must learn to climb from an
early age.

00:13:06,609 --> 00:13:07,169
(bright playful music)

(leaves rustling)
309
00:13:14,409 --> 00:13:17,609
Playing helps to improve
climbing coordination.

(lively action music)
311
00:13:25,129 --> 00:13:25,929
The baby of the family
312
00:13:26,569 --> 00:13:28,049
is not quite ready to join in
313
00:13:28,689 --> 00:13:30,009
with his boisterous siblings,
314
00:13:33,249 --> 00:13:34,849
but gaining confidence and
moving around
315
00:13:35,489 --> 00:13:36,129
in the treetops is crucial.
316
00:13:36,129 --> 00:13:36,969
in the treetops is crucial.
317
00:13:38,729 --> 00:13:40,129
Unlike other kinds of langurs,
318
00:13:41,009 --> 00:13:42,129
these hardly ever descend to the
ground,
319
00:13:42,129 --> 00:13:43,129
these hardly ever descend to the
ground,
320
00:13:44,969 --> 00:13:46,769
and they may have to travel far
through the branches
321
00:13:47,369 --> 00:13:48,129
to find enough to eat.
322
00:13:50,889 --> 00:13:53,809
(light curious music)
323
00:13:54,769 --> 00:13:57,009
This morning, one of the
forest's special treats
324
00:13:57,569 --> 00:13:58,689
has caught their eye.
325
00:13:59,249 --> 00:14:00,129
(light curious music)
326
00:14:00,929 --> 00:14:02,209
Around the size of a pineapple,
327
00:14:03,289 --> 00:14:06,049
the chempedak is one of the
largest fruits in the forest.
328
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:10,129
Worth making an effort for.
329
00:14:11,809 --> 00:14:12,129

With light slender bodies and
long flexible limbs,
335
00:14:26,089 --> 00:14:29,009
langurs can easily cross breaks
in the canopy,

(leaves rustling)
339
00:14:38,009 --> 00:14:39,609
but this youngster is too small
340
00:14:40,209 --> 00:14:41,689
to make such giant leaps.
341
00:14:44,529 --> 00:14:46,409
(birds chirping)
342
00:14:47,049 --> 00:14:48,129
Mom will have to carry him.

Mom will have to carry him.
344
00:14:49,129 --> 00:14:50,929
(dramatic music)
345
00:14:51,609 --> 00:14:53,089
A baby on board is extra weight,
346
00:14:53,969 --> 00:14:54,129
so jumps have to be very
carefully judged.

(gentle music)
352
00:15:15,889 --> 00:15:17,129
With everyone safely across,
353
00:15:18,009 --> 00:15:18,129
the whole troop can start to
feed.
354
00:15:18,129 --> 00:15:19,929
the whole troop can start to
feed.
355
00:15:22,929 --> 00:15:24,129
The fruit might not be fully
ripe,
356
00:15:24,129 --> 00:15:25,049
The fruit might not be fully
ripe,
357
00:15:25,729 --> 00:15:26,769
but they don't seem to mind.
358
00:15:30,129 --> 00:15:31,209
Their large potbellies
359
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:34,129
contain specialized gut bacteria
360
00:15:34,889 --> 00:15:36,009
that help them digest their
meal,
361
00:15:38,369 --> 00:15:39,609
and that allows them to feed
362
00:15:40,449 --> 00:15:42,129
on a great variety of leaves and
fruit.
363
00:15:42,129 --> 00:15:42,409

(light gentle music)
365
00:15:48,769 --> 00:15:50,129
But while the family tuck in,
366
00:15:50,729 --> 00:15:52,089
it soon becomes apparent
367
00:15:52,689 --> 00:15:53,689
that they have company.
368
00:15:54,209 --> 00:15:55,129

Once the leaves have been shaped

it's time to bring in the glue
guns.

Their own larvae are gently
squeezed

to make them produce a sticky
silk.
479
00:20:37,929 --> 00:20:39,529
With that, they weave a fabric
480

that holds the leaves together
in the correct position.

00:23:39,009 --> 00:23:39,809
for a meal to come by.
555
00:23:41,529 --> 00:23:42,129
(tense eerie music)
556
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:44,129
(tense eerie music)
557
00:23:44,649 --> 00:23:47,929
(suspenseful music)
558
00:23:48,489 --> 00:23:50,049
(scorpion crunching)
559
00:23:50,569 --> 00:23:52,809
(dramatic music)
560
00:23:55,489 --> 00:23:56,849
A single cricket like this
561
00:23:57,449 --> 00:23:59,289
will last it for months.
562
00:24:00,129 --> 00:24:02,369
(insects trilling) (light gentle
music)
563
00:24:03,169 --> 00:24:05,409
And scorpions are not fussy
eaters.
564
00:24:09,209 --> 00:24:11,089
They don't hesitate to eat each
other,
565
00:24:11,609 --> 00:24:12,129
given the chance.
566
00:24:14,249 --> 00:24:16,129
It's a brutal end,
567
00:24:16,929 --> 00:24:18,129
but scorpions haven't survived
568
00:24:19,049 --> 00:24:21,209
as long as they have by being
picky.
569
00:24:21,729 --> 00:24:23,209
(insects trilling)
570
00:24:23,689 --> 00:24:24,129

(gentle music) (birds chirping)
574
00:24:33,969 --> 00:24:36,089
As the sun rises in Singapore,
575
00:24:36,849 --> 00:24:39,089
the day quickly begins to heat
up.
576
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:45,129
The cold-blooded creatures of
the forest
577
00:24:46,129 --> 00:24:48,129
need this warmth if they are to
get moving.
578
00:24:48,129 --> 00:24:48,329
need this warmth if they are to
get moving.
579
00:24:48,809 --> 00:24:51,049
(gentle music)
580
00:24:53,169 --> 00:24:54,129
This may look like a paradise,
581
00:24:54,129 --> 00:24:54,689
This may look like a paradise,
582
00:24:56,889 --> 00:24:58,689
but sometimes it's far from
idyllic.
583
00:25:00,849 --> 00:25:02,569
(ominous music)
584
00:25:03,249 --> 00:25:04,529
A rainforest is one of the most
585
00:25:05,209 --> 00:25:06,129
competitive ecosystems on Earth.
586
00:25:06,129 --> 00:25:08,089
competitive ecosystems on Earth.
587
00:25:08,969 --> 00:25:11,169
Its inhabitants have to battle
unceasingly
588
00:25:11,769 --> 00:25:12,129
if they are to survive.
589
00:25:12,129 --> 00:25:13,489
if they are to survive.
590
00:25:14,489 --> 00:25:18,129
They struggle to reach the light
and race to mate.
591
00:25:20,049 --> 00:25:21,129
(birds chirping)
592
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:24,129

(gentle dramatic music)
594
00:25:25,809 --> 00:25:28,049
The elegant bronzeback,
595
00:25:28,609 --> 00:25:29,489
a tree-dwelling snake
596
00:25:30,169 --> 00:25:31,729
found across Southeast Asia.
597
00:25:32,209 --> 00:25:34,289
(gentle music)
598
00:25:35,769 --> 00:25:36,129
Both sexes are usually solitary,
599
00:25:36,129 --> 00:25:38,089
Both sexes are usually solitary,
600
00:25:40,889 --> 00:25:42,129
but today something is in the
air.
601
00:25:42,129 --> 00:25:43,529
but today something is in the
air.
602
00:25:46,049 --> 00:25:48,129
(light eerie music)
603
00:25:48,129 --> 00:25:48,609
(light eerie music)
604
00:25:54,969 --> 00:25:56,929
Pheromones released by this
female
605
00:25:58,769 --> 00:26:00,129
signal that she's ready to mate.
606
00:26:00,129 --> 00:26:00,369
signal that she's ready to mate.
607
00:26:01,689 --> 00:26:04,409
(dramatic music)
608
00:26:04,969 --> 00:26:06,129
Three suitors line up.
609
00:26:09,329 --> 00:26:10,449
All hope to win her.
610
00:26:10,969 --> 00:26:12,129
(dramatic music)
611
00:26:12,129 --> 00:26:13,169
(dramatic music)
612
00:26:15,009 --> 00:26:16,969
But it's she who will call the
shots.
613
00:26:20,289 --> 00:26:23,129
If they want a chance, they must
fight for it.
614
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:24,129
(suspenseful music)
615
00:26:24,129 --> 00:26:26,129
(suspenseful music)
616
00:26:29,809 --> 00:26:30,129
By playing hard to get,
617
00:26:30,129 --> 00:26:31,129
By playing hard to get,
618
00:26:31,849 --> 00:26:33,289
she aims to find the strongest
619
00:26:33,889 --> 00:26:35,529
and most determined male.
620
00:26:36,009 --> 00:26:36,129
(dramatic music)
621
00:26:36,129 --> 00:26:38,289
(dramatic music)
622
00:26:40,809 --> 00:26:42,129
Snakes have at least 16 times
623
00:26:42,129 --> 00:26:43,129
Snakes have at least 16 times
624
00:26:44,089 --> 00:26:45,889
more individual muscles than the
average human,
625
00:26:46,409 --> 00:26:48,129
(leaves rustling)
626
00:26:48,129 --> 00:26:49,009
(leaves rustling)
627
00:26:49,849 --> 00:26:51,529
and they use this strength to
squeeze
628
00:26:52,369 --> 00:26:53,769
and heave each other out of the
way.
629
00:26:54,289 --> 00:26:56,529
(dramatic music)
630
00:26:58,609 --> 00:27:00,129
This mating battle goes on for
hours.
631
00:27:00,129 --> 00:27:01,129
This mating battle goes on for
hours.
632
00:27:01,889 --> 00:27:06,129
(dramatic music) (leaves

(gentle music) (birds chirping)
636
00:27:14,809 --> 00:27:16,849
Until finally, one of the males
637
00:27:17,689 --> 00:27:18,129
manages to get into the right
position.
638
00:27:18,129 --> 00:27:19,649
manages to get into the right
position.
639
00:27:23,929 --> 00:27:24,129
(light gentle music)
640
00:27:24,129 --> 00:27:27,209
(light gentle music)
641
00:27:27,769 --> 00:27:29,849
A gentle chin stroke,
642
00:27:30,449 --> 00:27:31,889
a snake's way to charm.
643
00:27:34,529 --> 00:27:35,369
She appears to be won over.
644
00:27:39,209 --> 00:27:40,569
Now he needs to align
645
00:27:41,329 --> 00:27:42,129
his reproductive organs with
hers.
646
00:27:42,129 --> 00:27:43,249
his reproductive organs with
hers.
647
00:27:43,809 --> 00:27:46,369
(light gentle music)
648
00:27:48,169 --> 00:27:49,049
It's not easy
649
00:27:50,049 --> 00:27:51,769
when two other males are still
trying to join in,
650
00:27:57,449 --> 00:27:59,849
but everything seems to be
lining up.
651
00:28:03,929 --> 00:28:05,489
This is believed to be the first
time
652
00:28:06,409 --> 00:28:08,569
the mating behavior of the
elegant bronzeback
653
00:28:09,169 --> 00:28:10,329
has ever been documented.
654
00:28:10,889 --> 00:28:12,129
(light gentle music)
655
00:28:12,129 --> 00:28:12,849
(light gentle music)
656
00:28:13,529 --> 00:28:15,129
And it was recorded right here
657
00:28:15,769 --> 00:28:17,369
in the forests of Singapore.
658
00:28:19,289 --> 00:28:20,129
(birds chirping)
659
00:28:20,609 --> 00:28:22,689
(gentle music)
660
00:28:27,049 --> 00:28:30,129
The jungle may be a refuge for
wild creatures,
661
00:28:31,089 --> 00:28:33,209
but the urban world is never far
away.
662
00:28:33,689 --> 00:28:35,889
(gentle music)
663
00:28:40,409 --> 00:28:42,129
(gentle music)
664
00:28:43,289 --> 00:28:46,129
Some of the locals have adapted
to take advantage of this.
665
00:28:52,969 --> 00:28:54,129
A building on the edge of the
forest,
666
00:28:54,129 --> 00:28:54,769
A building on the edge of the
forest,
667
00:28:55,729 --> 00:28:58,889
the perfect roost for the colony
of fruit bats.
668
00:28:59,409 --> 00:29:00,129
(bats squealing)
669
00:29:00,129 --> 00:29:01,649
(bats squealing)
670
00:29:05,689 --> 00:29:06,129
(light bright music)
671
00:29:06,129 --> 00:29:08,169
(light bright music)
672
00:29:09,689 --> 00:29:11,729
Daytime is rest time
673
00:29:12,409 --> 00:29:13,649
for these nocturnal mammals,
674
00:29:16,969 --> 00:29:18,129
but not everyone is ready for
sleep.
675
00:29:18,129 --> 00:29:19,009
but not everyone is ready for
sleep.
676
00:29:21,329 --> 00:29:23,969
(bat squealing)
677
00:29:24,769 --> 00:29:27,009
A hungry youngster keeps mom
awake.
678
00:29:28,769 --> 00:29:30,129
He's just over a month old
679
00:29:31,089 --> 00:29:33,129
and totally dependent on her for
milk.
680
00:29:33,609 --> 00:29:35,569
(bright music)
681
00:29:36,409 --> 00:29:39,209
But being a bat mother is no
easy task.
682
00:29:41,609 --> 00:29:42,129
Babies are like limpets.
683
00:29:42,129 --> 00:29:42,409
Babies are like limpets.
684
00:29:43,089 --> 00:29:44,529
He's constantly by her side.
685
00:29:49,049 --> 00:29:52,529
(bats squealing) (light upbeat
music)
686
00:29:53,049 --> 00:29:54,129
Even during a bath,
687
00:29:54,129 --> 00:29:54,409
Even during a bath,
688
00:29:54,969 --> 00:29:56,289
the pup stays close.
689
00:30:00,649 --> 00:30:01,769
It's a bit of a squeeze,
690
00:30:02,569 --> 00:30:04,489
but she manages to wash around
him.
691
00:30:07,449 --> 00:30:09,169
And keeping her wings in tiptop
condition
692
00:30:09,689 --> 00:30:11,129
is very important.
693
00:30:13,129 --> 00:30:16,129
Tonight, she will once again fly
off to look for dinner.
694
00:30:19,649 --> 00:30:21,849
But for now, with baby fed and
bathed,
695
00:30:22,609 --> 00:30:24,129
she can get some much needed
rest.
696
00:30:27,049 --> 00:30:30,129

00:30:30,129 --> 00:30:31,249
(bright music) (bats squealing)
698
00:30:32,169 --> 00:30:34,129
Bats are one of the few animals
in the world
699
00:30:34,729 --> 00:30:36,129
that sleep upside down.
700
00:30:36,129 --> 00:30:36,449
that sleep upside down.
701
00:30:39,649 --> 00:30:42,129
Specialized tendons in the feet
make hanging easy.
702
00:30:42,129 --> 00:30:42,489

(bright music) (bats squealing)
704
00:30:45,809 --> 00:30:48,129
And the design of this roof
suits them perfectly,

And the design of this roof
suits them perfectly,
706
00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:54,009
high, safe, and sheltered from
the midday heat.

During the hottest part of the
day,
711
00:31:07,609 --> 00:31:10,529
temperatures in the forest can
reach 34 degrees.

A spotted wood owl flutters its

A spotted wood owl flutters its
throat.
720
00:31:28,769 --> 00:31:30,129
It's a way of panting to cool
off.
721
00:31:30,129 --> 00:31:31,169
It's a way of panting to cool
off.

00:31:34,929 --> 00:31:36,129
Others just stretch out and
snooze.

when they're around four years

00:32:07,329 --> 00:32:09,929
But an alpha's leadership is
never really secure.
738
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:15,129
There is always the danger of
new males
739
00:32:15,889 --> 00:32:17,169
trying to take over his females.
740
00:32:17,689 --> 00:32:18,129
(suspenseful music)
741
00:32:18,129 --> 00:32:20,209
(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)
743
00:32:23,049 --> 00:32:24,129
And two young bachelors have
just arrived.
744
00:32:24,129 --> 00:32:25,369
And two young bachelors have
just arrived.
745
00:32:25,889 --> 00:32:28,409
(suspenseful music)
746
00:32:31,809 --> 00:32:32,969
The females and youngsters
scatter.
747
00:32:33,649 --> 00:32:35,129
This is a dangerous situation.
748
00:32:38,529 --> 00:32:40,329
The invaders could be looking
for a fight.
749
00:32:40,849 --> 00:32:42,129
(suspenseful music)
750
00:32:42,129 --> 00:32:43,369
(suspenseful music)
751
00:32:45,049 --> 00:32:46,689
Their leader must drive them
out.
752
00:32:47,529 --> 00:32:48,129
(suspenseful music) (langur
screeching)
753
00:32:48,129 --> 00:32:51,729
(suspenseful music) (langur
screeching)
754
00:32:53,489 --> 00:32:54,129
It's chaos in the treetops.
755
00:32:54,129 --> 00:32:54,969
It's chaos in the treetops.
756
00:32:55,489 --> 00:32:58,769
(suspenseful music)
757
00:32:59,289 --> 00:32:59,929

(langur screeching) (suspenseful
music)
762
00:33:24,569 --> 00:33:27,409
A final push and the intruders
disappear.
763
00:33:29,089 --> 00:33:30,129
The alpha male has secured his
family's territory.
764
00:33:30,129 --> 00:33:31,449
The alpha male has secured his
family's territory.
765

(ominous music)
766
00:33:40,169 --> 00:33:41,129
But in the panic,
767
00:33:42,289 --> 00:33:44,689
the youngest member of the troop
has become separated.
768
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:47,329
(ominous music)
769
00:33:54,769 --> 00:33:57,649
Lost and alone in the forest,
he's vulnerable,
770
00:34:00,009 --> 00:34:00,129
(thunder rumbling)
771
00:34:00,129 --> 00:34:02,129
(thunder rumbling)
772
00:34:02,769 --> 00:34:04,689
and a storm is on the way.
773
00:34:07,649 --> 00:34:10,129
(thunder rumbling)
774
00:34:13,689 --> 00:34:16,329

(tense ominous music)
779
00:34:37,529 --> 00:34:39,129
The youngest member of the
langur troop
780
00:34:39,809 --> 00:34:40,809
is still in trouble.
781
00:34:43,369 --> 00:34:45,129
(thunder rumbling)
782
00:34:45,729 --> 00:34:46,929
A storm is brewing.
783
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:54,129
Singapore's jungle depends on
one vital element.
784
00:34:54,129 --> 00:34:55,129
Singapore's jungle depends on

785
00:34:57,249 --> 00:34:59,729

787
00:35:04,409 --> 00:35:05,209
Rain.

(rain pattering)
791
00:35:09,169 --> 00:35:11,529
Water is the lifeblood of the
forest.
792
00:35:14,049 --> 00:35:17,129
Over 800 million liters can
splash down
793
00:35:17,769 --> 00:35:18,129
in just a few hours.
794
00:35:18,129 --> 00:35:19,129

(thunder rumbling)
801
00:35:38,449 --> 00:35:40,129
but some have to sit it out.

00:35:43,049 --> 00:35:44,929
(thunder crashing)
803
00:35:45,449 --> 00:35:47,849
(dramatic music)
804
00:35:48,369 --> 00:35:49,529
Scared and alone,
805
00:35:50,129 --> 00:35:50,769
the baby of the family
806
00:35:51,409 --> 00:35:53,289
does his best to keep dry.
807
00:35:53,809 --> 00:35:54,129

(leaves rustling)
816
00:36:23,809 --> 00:36:24,129
Finally, the deluge is over,
817
00:36:24,129 --> 00:36:26,129
Finally, the deluge is over,
818
00:36:28,169 --> 00:36:30,129
and the langur family are on the
move.
819
00:36:30,129 --> 00:36:30,689
and the langur family are on the
move.
820
00:36:33,409 --> 00:36:35,729
(dramatic music)

(langur screeching)
822
00:36:41,649 --> 00:36:42,129
Hearing the desperate calls
823
00:36:42,129 --> 00:36:42,889
Hearing the desperate calls
824
00:36:43,489 --> 00:36:44,329
of the missing youngster,
825
00:36:44,929 --> 00:36:45,929
they come to collect him.
826
00:36:48,489 --> 00:36:52,889
(gentle music) (langur calling)
827
00:36:56,129 --> 00:36:58,529
(leaves rustling)
828
00:37:01,849 --> 00:37:04,129
(gentle music)
829
00:37:11,929 --> 00:37:12,129
Reunited with mom,
830
00:37:12,129 --> 00:37:13,569
Reunited with mom,
831
00:37:14,409 --> 00:37:16,849
he's lucky to have been found in
time.
832
00:37:17,329 --> 00:37:18,129
(gentle music)
833
00:37:18,129 --> 00:37:19,409
(gentle music)
834
00:37:23,129 --> 00:37:24,129
At this age, he still relies on
his family members
835
00:37:24,129 --> 00:37:26,009
At this age, he still relies on
his family members
836
00:37:26,609 --> 00:37:27,449
to lead the way to food.
837
00:37:36,689 --> 00:37:38,889
But this time spent away from
the troop
838
00:37:39,729 --> 00:37:41,969
is his first step towards
independence.
839
00:37:42,449 --> 00:37:44,529
(gentle music)
840
00:37:46,129 --> 00:37:48,129

(heavy thudding) (suspenseful
music)
850
00:38:22,729 --> 00:38:24,129
Across the island of Singapore,
851
00:38:24,129 --> 00:38:24,329
Across the island of Singapore,
852
00:38:24,889 --> 00:38:27,009
its fruiting season.
853
00:38:27,529 --> 00:38:28,129
(heavy thudding)
854
00:38:28,969 --> 00:38:30,129
Huge ripe durians fall to the
ground.
855
00:38:30,129 --> 00:38:31,649
Huge ripe durians fall to the
ground.
856
00:38:33,369 --> 00:38:35,249
While above, other plants add
857
00:38:35,929 --> 00:38:36,129
a splash of color to the green.
858
00:38:36,129 --> 00:38:37,209
a splash of color to the green.
859
00:38:39,009 --> 00:38:40,809
It's a feast for many of the
residents.
860
00:38:42,849 --> 00:38:44,769
(suspenseful music)
861
00:38:45,529 --> 00:38:46,449
And the plantain squirrel will
go
862
00:38:47,249 --> 00:38:48,129
to great lengths to be first in
line.
863
00:38:48,129 --> 00:38:49,529
to great lengths to be first in
line.
864
00:38:50,049 --> 00:38:52,569
(suspenseful music)
865
00:38:54,689 --> 00:38:57,129
(leaves rustling)
866
00:39:02,129 --> 00:39:03,809
Weighing around 200 grams,
867
00:39:04,409 --> 00:39:05,849
these pint-sized acrobats
868
00:39:06,489 --> 00:39:07,729
can jump over three meters.
869
00:39:08,249 --> 00:39:10,849
(suspenseful music)
870
00:39:13,009 --> 00:39:14,969
A death-defying performance,
871
00:39:15,769 --> 00:39:18,129
all for the sake of a piece of
fruit.
872
00:39:18,129 --> 00:39:18,329
all for the sake of a piece of
fruit.
873
00:39:18,849 --> 00:39:21,369
(suspenseful music)
874
00:39:27,209 --> 00:39:28,889
(light upbeat music)
875
00:39:29,489 --> 00:39:30,129
But sometimes it takes
876
00:39:30,129 --> 00:39:30,369
But sometimes it takes
877
00:39:31,049 --> 00:39:32,769
more than a high flying stunt
878
00:39:33,449 --> 00:39:34,729
to reach the best of the fruits.
879
00:39:41,609 --> 00:39:42,129
The chempedak is finally ripe.
880
00:39:42,129 --> 00:39:43,849
The chempedak is finally ripe.
881
00:39:44,329 --> 00:39:45,329
(bright music)
882
00:39:46,249 --> 00:39:48,129
Inside, there's a sweet
custard-like treat,
883
00:39:48,129 --> 00:39:48,969
Inside, there's a sweet
custard-like treat,
884
00:39:53,329 --> 00:39:54,129
but first you have to get
through the thick spiky skin.
885
00:39:54,129 --> 00:39:56,409
but first you have to get
through the thick spiky skin.
886
00:40:01,569 --> 00:40:04,129
A different kind of gymnastics
is required for this job,
887
00:40:07,169 --> 00:40:09,569
an upside down balancing act.
888
00:40:10,049 --> 00:40:12,129
(bright music)
889
00:40:25,689 --> 00:40:26,209
(soft munching)
890
00:40:27,049 --> 00:40:30,129
At last, all her persistence
pays off.
891
00:40:30,129 --> 00:40:30,249
At last, all her persistence
pays off.
892
00:40:30,729 --> 00:40:33,089
(soft nibbling)
893
00:40:40,889 --> 00:40:41,209
(light upbeat music)
894
00:40:41,689 --> 00:40:42,129
Ripe chempedak
895
00:40:42,129 --> 00:40:42,929
Ripe chempedak
896
00:40:44,649 --> 00:40:47,049
is one of the most delicious
fruits in the forest,
897
00:40:47,969 --> 00:40:48,129
and she's not the only one who
wants a piece,
898
00:40:48,129 --> 00:40:50,009
and she's not the only one who
wants a piece,
899
00:40:51,769 --> 00:40:53,409
or indeed the whole thing.
900
00:40:53,969 --> 00:40:54,129
(bright upbeat music)
901
00:40:54,129 --> 00:40:55,129
(bright upbeat music)
902
00:40:56,169 --> 00:40:57,969
And while she may have done all
the hard work,
903
00:41:00,209 --> 00:41:02,769
that doesn't mean that those
below can't also get a share.
904
00:41:07,849 --> 00:41:12,089
(leaves rustling) (light gentle
music)
905
00:41:13,049 --> 00:41:15,129
A juvenile lesser mouse-deer.
906
00:41:17,449 --> 00:41:18,129
It's very rare to see one out
and about during the day.
907
00:41:18,129 --> 00:41:20,289
It's very rare to see one out
and about during the day.
908
00:41:23,049 --> 00:41:24,129
Just like the other species of
mouse-deer,
909
00:41:24,129 --> 00:41:24,889
Just like the other species of
mouse-deer,
910
00:41:25,889 --> 00:41:28,569
they prefer to forage under the
cover of darkness.
911
00:41:30,169 --> 00:41:31,569
(light gentle music)
912
00:41:32,049 --> 00:41:34,169
(flies buzzing)
913
00:41:34,769 --> 00:41:35,929
We don't know how many
914
00:41:36,769 --> 00:41:38,409
lesser mouse-deer survive in
Singapore.
915
00:41:41,049 --> 00:41:42,129
The species used to be found
right across the country.
916
00:41:42,129 --> 00:41:44,049
The species used to be found
right across the country.
917
00:41:45,049 --> 00:41:47,529
Now they live only in the
Central Forest Reserve,
918
00:41:49,689 --> 00:41:52,329
