The manmade bay turned out to be
the perfect otter home,
52
00:02:25,929 --> 00:02:27,049
but they're not the only otter
pack
53
00:02:28,169 --> 00:02:30,129
who have adapted to Singapore's
urbanized water landscape.

in this world heritage listed

62
00:03:01,849 --> 00:03:03,329
At just over four weeks old,
63
00:03:04,369 --> 00:03:06,129
the babies have begun to emerge
from their fig tree den

She tends to have her hands
full,
70
00:03:21,049 --> 00:03:22,449
but still keeps an eye on
everyone.
71
00:03:24,249 --> 00:03:25,769
Then there's dad.
72
00:03:26,569 --> 00:03:28,769
He prefers to keep his eyes
closed
73
00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:30,129
and is a little more chill.
74
00:03:30,129 --> 00:03:30,969
and is a little more chill.
75
00:03:32,889 --> 00:03:35,129
And three boisterous teenagers.

Besides, they've got work to do.
80
00:03:46,089 --> 00:03:48,129
Everyone in an otter family is
expected to help care
81
00:03:48,769 --> 00:03:49,129
for the newborns
82
00:03:51,049 --> 00:03:52,649
and they need all the protection
they can get.

00:04:02,729 --> 00:04:04,769

A fall into the water could
prove fatal.

00:04:24,129 --> 00:04:25,129
A fall into the water could
prove fatal.
96
00:04:28,449 --> 00:04:30,129
To survive, the pups will need
to adapt

To survive, the pups will need
to adapt
98
00:04:31,249 --> 00:04:35,209

00:04:36,769 --> 00:04:38,169
how to navigate the urban world
100
00:04:38,769 --> 00:04:40,009

across the island.
105
00:04:53,649 --> 00:04:54,129
This is where the majority

This is where the majority
107
00:04:55,329 --> 00:04:57,129
of the country's rainwater is
stored.

the wild.

00:08:37,529 --> 00:08:39,769
(dramatic music)
184
00:08:43,569 --> 00:08:45,929
This one is not backing down.
185
00:08:47,969 --> 00:08:48,129
(water splashing) (dramatic
music)
186
00:08:48,129 --> 00:08:52,249
(water splashing) (dramatic
music)
187
00:09:24,009 --> 00:09:24,129
Finally, the intruder gives up.
188
00:09:24,129 --> 00:09:27,169
Finally, the intruder gives up.
189
00:09:28,009 --> 00:09:30,129
Combat in deep water can prove
fatal,
190
00:09:30,129 --> 00:09:31,089
Combat in deep water can prove
fatal,
191
00:09:33,409 --> 00:09:35,369
better to live to fight another
day.
192
00:09:38,049 --> 00:09:41,129
(dramatic music)
193
00:09:41,929 --> 00:09:42,129
The city's new freshwater
habitats
194
00:09:42,129 --> 00:09:43,689
The city's new freshwater
habitats
195
00:09:44,849 --> 00:09:47,169
provide just the right
environment for adaptable
creatures
196
00:09:47,769 --> 00:09:48,129
like the monitor lizard,
197
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:48,449
like the monitor lizard,
198
00:09:51,849 --> 00:09:53,329
but it's not always easy to
survive here.
199
00:09:56,649 --> 00:10:00,129
Battles can scar for life and he
who rules the river today
200
00:10:00,129 --> 00:10:00,649
Battles can scar for life and he
who rules the river today
201
00:10:03,609 --> 00:10:05,009
may be tomorrow's loser.
202
00:10:06,609 --> 00:10:09,129
(dramatic music)
203
00:10:10,089 --> 00:10:11,689
Singapore's freshwater habitats
are crucial
204
00:10:12,489 --> 00:10:13,849
for thousands of local water
birds.
205
00:10:17,889 --> 00:10:18,129
Approximately 400 species call
this island home.
206
00:10:18,129 --> 00:10:20,649
Approximately 400 species call
this island home.
207
00:10:24,049 --> 00:10:24,129
Over the years,
208
00:10:24,129 --> 00:10:24,849
Over the years,
209
00:10:25,849 --> 00:10:28,129
many have adapted to a more
urbanized water world.
210
00:10:31,529 --> 00:10:32,889
The white breasted water hen
211
00:10:33,969 --> 00:10:36,129
is one of the most commonly seen
often with chicks in tow.
212
00:10:36,129 --> 00:10:37,929
is one of the most commonly seen
often with chicks in tow.
213
00:10:38,449 --> 00:10:40,649
(upbeat music)
214
00:10:42,569 --> 00:10:44,769
But other water dwelling birds
are much rarer.
215
00:10:49,449 --> 00:10:50,769
The lesser whistling duck.
216
00:10:53,689 --> 00:10:54,129
There's estimated to be just 50
of them in Singapore.
217
00:10:54,129 --> 00:10:55,969
There's estimated to be just 50
of them in Singapore.
218
00:10:57,969 --> 00:11:00,129
(dramatic music)
219
00:11:00,129 --> 00:11:00,289
(dramatic music)
220
00:11:03,049 --> 00:11:06,129
But today that number has
increased by six.
221
00:11:06,129 --> 00:11:07,009
But today that number has
increased by six.
222
00:11:12,449 --> 00:11:13,889
Hatched just a few days ago,
223
00:11:14,889 --> 00:11:18,009
these tiny ducklings around the
size of a golf ball
224
00:11:18,689 --> 00:11:19,849
have already taken to the water.
225
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:28,129
A manmade pond has turned out
226
00:11:28,929 --> 00:11:30,129
to be the perfect duckling
nursery.
227
00:11:34,249 --> 00:11:36,129
Unlike otter pups, these babies
enter the world
228
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:37,049
Unlike otter pups, these babies
enter the world
229
00:11:37,729 --> 00:11:39,449
with plenty of natural skills.
230
00:11:42,209 --> 00:11:43,769
They're already walking and
swimming
231
00:11:45,609 --> 00:11:47,129
while mom and dad carefully keep
guard.
232
00:11:50,569 --> 00:11:53,329
No one is allowed near their
rare brood.
233
00:11:53,849 --> 00:11:54,129
(dramatic music)
234
00:11:54,129 --> 00:11:56,129
(dramatic music)
235
00:11:58,329 --> 00:12:00,129
And for good reason, the
ducklings can't fly yet
236
00:12:00,129 --> 00:12:01,489
And for good reason, the
ducklings can't fly yet
237
00:12:02,569 --> 00:12:05,129
and are totally defenseless
against would-be predators.
238
00:12:05,769 --> 00:12:06,129
(dramatic music)
239
00:12:06,129 --> 00:12:08,009
(dramatic music)
240
00:12:13,049 --> 00:12:14,969
The first few weeks of their
lives are crucial
241
00:12:16,689 --> 00:12:18,129
and mom and dad will take on
chaperone duties
242
00:12:18,129 --> 00:12:18,929
and mom and dad will take on
chaperone duties
243
00:12:19,809 --> 00:12:22,049
to give them the best chance of
survival.
244
00:12:22,569 --> 00:12:24,129
(dramatic music)
245
00:12:24,129 --> 00:12:24,809
(dramatic music)
246
00:12:38,249 --> 00:12:41,409
Morning in Singapore and at the
botanic gardens
247
00:12:42,489 --> 00:12:45,529
most of the local residents are
busy grabbing breakfast.
248
00:12:46,009 --> 00:12:48,129
(dramatic music)
249
00:12:48,129 --> 00:12:48,289
(dramatic music)
250
00:12:51,889 --> 00:12:53,649
The otter teens soak up time
away
251
00:12:54,329 --> 00:12:55,409
from their demanding siblings.
252
00:12:58,809 --> 00:13:00,129
Meanwhile, mum is exhausted.
253
00:13:00,129 --> 00:13:01,849
Meanwhile, mum is exhausted.
254
00:13:02,809 --> 00:13:04,889
The growing pups need to be fed
every few hours,
255
00:13:07,129 --> 00:13:08,809
a job only she can do.
256
00:13:12,769 --> 00:13:15,249
But this morning there's more
than milk on the menu
257
00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:16,369
for these babies.
258
00:13:20,849 --> 00:13:22,529
(dramatic music)
259
00:13:23,009 --> 00:13:24,129
(birds chirping)
260
00:13:25,049 --> 00:13:27,289
Otter swimming school is about
to begin.
261
00:13:30,449 --> 00:13:32,889
The nearby Swan Lake is the
perfect beginner's pool.
262
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:39,049
Getting all the pups to the edge
is the first step.
263
00:13:39,649 --> 00:13:41,369
It takes some persuading.
264
00:13:41,849 --> 00:13:42,129
(dramatic music)
265
00:13:42,129 --> 00:13:44,129
(dramatic music)
266
00:13:49,449 --> 00:13:51,129
The teens show them how it's
done.
267
00:13:55,049 --> 00:13:58,009
Diving is an urban adaptation
this family have pioneered,
268
00:14:00,769 --> 00:14:03,129
but the pups aren't so keen.
269
00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:04,569
(dramatic music)
270
00:14:05,089 --> 00:14:06,129
Mom coaxes one in.
271
00:14:06,129 --> 00:14:06,689
Mom coaxes one in.
272
00:14:12,169 --> 00:14:13,609
And grabs a few more.
273
00:14:14,129 --> 00:14:16,369
(dramatic music)
274
00:14:18,089 --> 00:14:18,129
But the pups can't swim yet.
275
00:14:18,129 --> 00:14:19,609
But the pups can't swim yet.
276
00:14:22,609 --> 00:14:24,129
Their older siblings act as
lifeguards,
277
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:24,649
Their older siblings act as
lifeguards,
278
00:14:25,689 --> 00:14:28,129
keeping them afloat while they
get used to the water.
279
00:14:28,649 --> 00:14:30,129
(dramatic music)
280
00:14:30,129 --> 00:14:30,889
(dramatic music)
281
00:14:32,689 --> 00:14:34,729
Now mum begins her swimming
lesson.
282
00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:40,809
Each pup is dragged around and
encouraged to start kicking.
283
00:14:41,329 --> 00:14:42,129
(dramatic music)
284
00:14:42,129 --> 00:14:43,569
(dramatic music)
285
00:14:48,849 --> 00:14:50,449
She's an excellent coach
286
00:14:51,049 --> 00:14:51,929
and under her guidance,
287
00:14:52,849 --> 00:14:54,129
the babies get used to their new
water world.
288
00:14:54,129 --> 00:14:55,129
the babies get used to their new
water world.
289
00:14:55,729 --> 00:14:57,969
(dramatic music)
290
00:15:08,689 --> 00:15:09,489
When a pup gets tired,
291
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:12,129
it's carried out and swapped for
a fresh one.
292
00:15:12,129 --> 00:15:12,769
it's carried out and swapped for
a fresh one.
293
00:15:15,929 --> 00:15:16,929
(water splashing)
294
00:15:17,409 --> 00:15:18,129
(dramatic music)
295
00:15:18,129 --> 00:15:18,809
(dramatic music)
296
00:15:19,849 --> 00:15:23,849
Everyone gets a turn even if
they're not quite ready.
297
00:15:27,289 --> 00:15:29,769
But all these students are a lot
for this small family
298
00:15:30,249 --> 00:15:30,849
to watch over,
299
00:15:33,729 --> 00:15:36,129
especially when dad has been
distracted by an early lunch.
300
00:15:36,129 --> 00:15:36,449
especially when dad has been
distracted by an early lunch.
301
00:15:36,969 --> 00:15:39,209
(dramatic music)
302
00:15:48,449 --> 00:15:51,969
His fishy meal attracts the
attention of a river monster.
303
00:15:59,969 --> 00:16:00,129
With no leftovers to grab, the
lizard spots a new target.
304
00:16:00,129 --> 00:16:03,609
With no leftovers to grab, the
lizard spots a new target.
305
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:06,129
(dramatic music)
306
00:16:06,129 --> 00:16:06,369
(dramatic music)
307
00:16:09,809 --> 00:16:12,129
These huge reptiles have been
known to attack otter pups.
308
00:16:12,129 --> 00:16:13,769
These huge reptiles have been
known to attack otter pups.
309
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:18,129
The family must get all their
babies out of the lake
310
00:16:18,129 --> 00:16:19,289
The family must get all their
babies out of the lake
311
00:16:19,689 --> 00:16:20,249
and fast.
312
00:16:20,769 --> 00:16:23,129
(dramatic music)
313
00:16:29,769 --> 00:16:30,129
Mum is the only one experienced
enough
314
00:16:30,129 --> 00:16:31,329
Mum is the only one experienced
enough
315
00:16:32,129 --> 00:16:33,689
who can jump with a baby on
board.
316
00:16:34,209 --> 00:16:36,129
(dramatic music)
317
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:36,449
(dramatic music)
318
00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:42,129
She works tirelessly until
there's just one pup left.
319
00:16:42,129 --> 00:16:43,929
She works tirelessly until
there's just one pup left.
320
00:16:44,489 --> 00:16:46,769
(dramatic music)
321
00:16:51,089 --> 00:16:53,049
But something else has caught
the lizard's eye,
322
00:16:56,729 --> 00:16:58,089
a scavenger's jackpot,
323
00:17:01,049 --> 00:17:03,129
just the diversion mom needs.
324
00:17:07,689 --> 00:17:09,809
The lizard can hardly believe
her luck,
325
00:17:11,729 --> 00:17:12,129
but she'll have to be quick.
326
00:17:12,129 --> 00:17:13,049
but she'll have to be quick.
327
00:17:13,849 --> 00:17:15,329
Competition is already on the
way.
328
00:17:15,849 --> 00:17:18,129
(dramatic music)
329
00:17:26,529 --> 00:17:30,129
This huge fish, almost a quarter
her size
330
00:17:30,129 --> 00:17:30,729
This huge fish, almost a quarter
her size
331
00:17:31,449 --> 00:17:33,649
makes for a slow getaway.
332
00:17:34,169 --> 00:17:36,129
(dramatic music)
333
00:17:36,129 --> 00:17:36,409
(dramatic music)
334
00:17:48,369 --> 00:17:50,649
Now to enjoy her prize.
335
00:17:55,289 --> 00:17:56,609
There's not much chewing
involved
336
00:17:57,249 --> 00:17:58,169
at a lizard's dinner table.
337
00:18:00,049 --> 00:18:00,129
Chunks are swallowed whole
338
00:18:00,129 --> 00:18:01,929
Chunks are swallowed whole
339
00:18:02,769 --> 00:18:04,129
and she'll devour the entire
carcass.
340
00:18:08,569 --> 00:18:12,129
Nothing is wasted by this
vulture of the reptile world.
341
00:18:12,129 --> 00:18:12,249
Nothing is wasted by this
vulture of the reptile world.
342
00:18:15,089 --> 00:18:16,889
(dramatic music)
343
00:18:17,369 --> 00:18:18,129
(otters chirping)
344
00:18:18,129 --> 00:18:19,729
(otters chirping)
345
00:18:26,009 --> 00:18:29,129
Safely back at the den, the pups
are busy getting dry.
346
00:18:32,169 --> 00:18:33,609
They'll have to get used to the
lake's big drop,
347
00:18:36,009 --> 00:18:36,129
smooth coated otters must have
access
348
00:18:36,129 --> 00:18:37,849
smooth coated otters must have
access
349
00:18:38,489 --> 00:18:39,729
to fresh water to survive.
350
00:18:42,049 --> 00:18:42,129
The rest of the city's waterways
are already ruled
351
00:18:42,129 --> 00:18:44,289
The rest of the city's waterways
are already ruled
352
00:18:44,849 --> 00:18:45,929
by other otter packs.
353
00:18:47,929 --> 00:18:48,129
So for now, the botanic gardens
is the only place
354
00:18:48,129 --> 00:18:50,809
So for now, the botanic gardens
is the only place
355
00:18:51,449 --> 00:18:53,249
this family can call home.
356
00:18:53,769 --> 00:18:54,129
(dramatic music)
357
00:18:54,129 --> 00:18:56,129
(dramatic music)
358
00:18:59,409 --> 00:19:00,129
Over the last few hundred years,
359
00:19:00,129 --> 00:19:01,089
Over the last few hundred years,
360
00:19:02,129 --> 00:19:04,649
Singapore's water landscape has
drastically changed.
361
00:19:06,929 --> 00:19:08,689
Entirely new ecosystems have

00:19:12,129 --> 00:19:13,649
and some strange creatures have

364
00:19:17,169 --> 00:19:18,129
The red eared slider,
365
00:19:18,129 --> 00:19:18,369
The red eared slider,
366
00:19:20,809 --> 00:19:22,129
hailing from North America,
367
00:19:23,209 --> 00:19:24,129
these large turtles have found
the perfect home
368
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:25,529
these large turtles have found
the perfect home
369
00:19:26,369 --> 00:19:28,009
in the nation's calm lakes and
rivers.
370
00:19:31,249 --> 00:19:32,569
But it's not just fresh water
371
00:19:33,369 --> 00:19:34,569
that they need in order to
survive.
372
00:19:37,529 --> 00:19:40,129
On the banks of this pond, a
turtle gathering.
373
00:19:42,689 --> 00:19:45,009
Here, there's no social
distancing.
374
00:19:47,569 --> 00:19:48,129
All they care about is getting
the best spot in the sun.
375
00:19:48,129 --> 00:19:50,489
All they care about is getting
the best spot in the sun.
376
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:54,129
Cold-blooded, they must sunbathe
regularly.
377
00:19:54,129 --> 00:19:55,849
Cold-blooded, they must sunbathe
regularly.
378
00:19:59,449 --> 00:20:00,129
A large shell absorbs heat and
warms the body,
379
00:20:00,129 --> 00:20:02,369
A large shell absorbs heat and
warms the body,
380
00:20:06,449 --> 00:20:07,729
but this process takes time.
381
00:20:10,489 --> 00:20:12,129
It helps to get as much skin out
as possible.
382
00:20:12,129 --> 00:20:12,649
It helps to get as much skin out
as possible.
383
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:18,129
The Superman pose, a turtle's
way to warm the legs.
384
00:20:18,129 --> 00:20:19,609
The Superman pose, a turtle's
way to warm the legs.
385
00:20:23,289 --> 00:20:24,129
Stacking is another method to
heat yourself up.
386
00:20:24,129 --> 00:20:25,609
Stacking is another method to
heat yourself up.
387
00:20:30,009 --> 00:20:30,129
It's just like sitting on top of
a radiator.
388
00:20:30,129 --> 00:20:32,449
It's just like sitting on top of
a radiator.
389
00:20:36,089 --> 00:20:36,129
Hours each day are dedicated to
sunbathing,
390
00:20:36,129 --> 00:20:38,609
Hours each day are dedicated to
sunbathing,
391
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:42,089
but while the turtles here have
plenty of space
392
00:20:44,529 --> 00:20:47,209
their cousins on the Singapore
River aren't so lucky.
393

00:20:48,129 --> 00:20:50,849
(dramatic music)
395
00:20:51,649 --> 00:20:53,129
The city's most urbanized
waterway
396
00:20:53,969 --> 00:20:54,129
is just over three kilometers
long.
397
00:20:54,129 --> 00:20:55,329
is just over three kilometers
long.
398
00:20:59,489 --> 00:21:00,129
Once heavily polluted, the river
is now clean enough
399
00:21:00,129 --> 00:21:02,489
Once heavily polluted, the river
is now clean enough
400
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:05,209
for a family of otters to call
it home.
401
00:21:05,689 --> 00:21:06,129
(dramatic music)
402
00:21:06,129 --> 00:21:08,129
(dramatic music)
403
00:21:10,169 --> 00:21:12,129
Here they've adapted,
404
00:21:13,169 --> 00:21:15,129
figuring out unique ways in and
outta the water.
405
00:21:21,249 --> 00:21:24,129
For their turtle neighbors,
however, it hasn't been so easy.
406
00:21:24,129 --> 00:21:24,169
For their turtle neighbors,
however, it hasn't been so easy.
407
00:21:28,889 --> 00:21:30,129
Hemmed in by vertical walls, the
only dry land in sight,
408
00:21:30,129 --> 00:21:32,129
Hemmed in by vertical walls, the
only dry land in sight,
409
00:21:34,209 --> 00:21:34,889
a rubbish catcher.
410
00:21:37,049 --> 00:21:38,969
Not the most luxurious place to
sunbathe,
411
00:21:40,969 --> 00:21:42,129
but cold turtle beggars can't be
choosers.
412
00:21:42,129 --> 00:21:43,609
but cold turtle beggars can't be
choosers.
413
00:21:47,529 --> 00:21:48,129
Long claws and a desperation to
get warm
414
00:21:48,129 --> 00:21:50,609
Long claws and a desperation to
get warm
415
00:21:51,129 --> 00:21:52,289
inspire a climb.
416
00:21:55,129 --> 00:21:56,889
Not everyone makes it on the
first attempt.
417
00:22:00,889 --> 00:22:02,129
If at first you don't succeed,
418
00:22:05,329 --> 00:22:06,129
try (dramatic music)
419
00:22:06,129 --> 00:22:07,969
try (dramatic music)

and try again.
421
00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:20,809
Persistence eventually pays off.
422
00:22:23,649 --> 00:22:24,129
Finally, time to get warm.
423
00:22:24,129 --> 00:22:26,089
Finally, time to get warm.
424
00:22:29,449 --> 00:22:30,129
With such limited space, it's
every turtle for itself.
425
00:22:30,129 --> 00:22:32,489
With such limited space, it's
every turtle for itself.
426
00:22:34,929 --> 00:22:36,129
Some will do whatever it takes
to make more room.
427
00:22:36,129 --> 00:22:37,329
Some will do whatever it takes
to make more room.
428
00:22:40,849 --> 00:22:42,129
Others just get a bit
frustrated.
429

These pioneering urbanites
433
00:22:49,209 --> 00:22:51,089
are considered an invasive
species in Singapore,

00:22:53,849 --> 00:22:54,129
unwanted pets released into the
waterways.
435
00:22:54,129 --> 00:22:56,129
unwanted pets released into the
waterways.
436
00:22:59,049 --> 00:23:00,129
Little is known of their impact
on the native wildlife,
437
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:00,809
Little is known of their impact
on the native wildlife,
438
00:23:03,769 --> 00:23:06,129
but for now, they remain part of
the city's watery world.

one of Singapore's most common
locals,
443
00:23:18,129 --> 00:23:19,129
one of Singapore's most common

444
00:23:21,049 --> 00:23:22,369
the long tailed macaque.
445
00:23:24,969 --> 00:23:26,769
Usually spotted in the forests,

this troop have adapted to a
life on the water's edge.

this troop have adapted to a

Here, concrete dams millions of
liters of fresh water
449
00:23:37,569 --> 00:23:39,409
to form MacRitchie Reservoir.
450
00:23:44,489 --> 00:23:48,129
Constructed over 150 years ago
and surrounded by rainforest,
451
00:23:48,129 --> 00:23:48,449
Constructed over 150 years ago
and surrounded by rainforest,

00:23:49,969 --> 00:23:52,609
this is Singapore's oldest water
catchment area.

A place to retreat to and soak

A place to retreat to and soak

(dramatic music)
458
00:24:10,609 --> 00:24:11,689
Along the banks,
459
00:24:12,769 --> 00:24:15,249
a recent downpour has encouraged
new grassroots to sprout.
460
00:24:19,689 --> 00:24:21,689
A chance for the monkeys to add
some fiber
461
00:24:22,329 --> 00:24:24,049
to their regular fruity diet.
462
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:26,809

463
00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:30,129
A peaceful family picnic.

A peaceful family picnic.
465
00:24:34,289 --> 00:24:35,849
These monkeys live in tight knit
groups.
466
00:24:37,369 --> 00:24:38,529
Everyone knows their place.

00:24:39,049 --> 00:24:41,289
(dramatic music)
468
00:24:42,929 --> 00:24:44,249
The alpha male is in charge
469
00:24:45,249 --> 00:24:47,129
and reigns over his harem of
females and offspring.
470
00:24:50,169 --> 00:24:51,649
Babies are easy to handle.
471
00:24:53,209 --> 00:24:54,129
The mums do all the work
anyways.
472
00:24:54,129 --> 00:24:54,409
The mums do all the work
anyways.
473
00:24:58,169 --> 00:25:00,129
It's the teenagers that can get
up to mischief.
474
00:25:00,129 --> 00:25:00,409
It's the teenagers that can get
up to mischief.
475

At the troops' regular drinking
hole,
476

At the troops' regular drinking
hole,
477
00:25:08,809 --> 00:25:11,129
a visitor is causing a few
problems.
478
00:25:14,809 --> 00:25:18,129
Everyone is thirsty, but the
teenagers are a little scared.
479
00:25:18,129 --> 00:25:18,769
Everyone is thirsty, but the
teenagers are a little scared.
480
00:25:22,009 --> 00:25:24,129
A turtle about half their size
has moved in.
481
00:25:24,649 --> 00:25:26,889
(dramatic music)
482
00:25:32,129 --> 00:25:34,529
The alpha male will have to show
them how it's done.

Inspired by dad's example,
487
00:25:55,249 --> 00:25:57,249
the youngsters are finally brave
enough to head in
488
00:25:57,929 --> 00:26:00,129
for a drink and a little fun.
489
00:26:00,129 --> 00:26:02,209
for a drink and a little fun.
490
00:26:02,689 --> 00:26:04,929
(upbeat music)
491
00:26:11,729 --> 00:26:12,129
Macaques are excellent swimmers,
492
00:26:12,129 --> 00:26:13,289
Macaques are excellent swimmers,
493
00:26:14,969 --> 00:26:16,249
but they're very safety
conscious.
494
00:26:20,129 --> 00:26:22,289
If there's something in the
water they're not sure about,
495
00:26:23,169 --> 00:26:24,129
they won't risk getting their
toes nipped
496
00:26:24,129 --> 00:26:24,489
they won't risk getting their
toes nipped
497
00:26:28,089 --> 00:26:30,129
and the teenagers have just
spotted another turtle.
498
00:26:30,129 --> 00:26:31,049
and the teenagers have just
spotted another turtle.
499
00:26:32,769 --> 00:26:34,289
This one's even bigger.
500
00:26:34,769 --> 00:26:36,129
(upbeat music)
501
00:26:36,129 --> 00:26:37,049
(upbeat music)
502
00:26:37,729 --> 00:26:38,969
Swimming will just have to wait
503
00:26:39,809 --> 00:26:42,129
until the watery visitors have
moved on.
504
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:45,009
(dramatic music)
505
00:26:56,849 --> 00:26:58,609
Over the last few hundred years,
506
00:26:59,609 --> 00:27:00,129
Singapore's waterways have been
highly modified.
507
00:27:00,129 --> 00:27:02,129
Singapore's waterways have been
highly modified.
508
00:27:04,969 --> 00:27:06,129
8,000 kilometers of drains and
canals have been built,
509
00:27:06,129 --> 00:27:07,569
8,000 kilometers of drains and
canals have been built,
510
00:27:10,769 --> 00:27:12,129
just about every river and
stream
511
00:27:12,129 --> 00:27:12,929
just about every river and
stream
512
00:27:13,569 --> 00:27:15,329
redesigned and redirected.
513
00:27:17,929 --> 00:27:18,129
But 200 years ago,
514
00:27:18,129 --> 00:27:19,129
But 200 years ago,
515
00:27:20,129 --> 00:27:22,129
the island's water landscape
looked very different.
516
00:27:25,449 --> 00:27:27,609
Rivers snaked their way through
dense mangrove
517
00:27:28,089 --> 00:27:28,689
and out to sea,
518
00:27:30,889 --> 00:27:33,409
a timeless place between land
and ocean
519
00:27:34,089 --> 00:27:35,809
where fresh and salt water met.
520
00:27:36,289 --> 00:27:38,569
(dramatic music)
521
00:27:41,209 --> 00:27:42,129
Small pockets of these mangroves
still survive today,
522
00:27:42,129 --> 00:27:44,009
Small pockets of these mangroves
still survive today,
523
00:27:46,969 --> 00:27:48,129
and here the wild live as they
always have,
524
00:27:48,129 --> 00:27:49,609
and here the wild live as they
always have,
525
00:27:54,289 --> 00:27:56,009
including a unique creature:
526
00:27:58,209 --> 00:27:59,369
the tree climbing crab.
527
00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:05,609
At least three species call
Singapore home,
528
00:28:07,929 --> 00:28:09,689
all live by the tides.
529
00:28:11,849 --> 00:28:12,129
When the water is low, it's
feeding time.
530
00:28:12,129 --> 00:28:14,089
When the water is low, it's
feeding time.
531
00:28:15,809 --> 00:28:17,929
Crabs are surprisingly dextrous.
532
00:28:19,529 --> 00:28:21,449
They're claws, an ultimate
multi-tool.
533
00:28:23,809 --> 00:28:24,129
But this is lunch on the clock.
534
00:28:24,129 --> 00:28:25,209
But this is lunch on the clock.
535
00:28:27,289 --> 00:28:29,969
When the tide comes in, the
crabs must climb.
536
00:28:30,489 --> 00:28:32,729
(dramatic music)
537
00:28:35,969 --> 00:28:36,129
Now the claws are used like
pickaxes,
538
00:28:36,129 --> 00:28:39,049
Now the claws are used like
pickaxes,
539
00:28:41,529 --> 00:28:42,129
designed to grip onto even the
most slippery tree trunk.
540
00:28:42,129 --> 00:28:43,529
designed to grip onto even the
most slippery tree trunk.
541
00:28:49,009 --> 00:28:51,409
Up here, it can get a little
crowded.
542
00:28:52,969 --> 00:28:54,129
Everyone has the same plan;
543
00:28:54,129 --> 00:28:54,609
Everyone has the same plan;
544
00:28:55,489 --> 00:28:58,129
get up high and escape aquatic
predators.
545
00:29:01,889 --> 00:29:03,449
The water can rise to over three
meters,
546
00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:06,129
quite a height for a teacup
sized crab to climb.
547
00:29:06,129 --> 00:29:07,809
quite a height for a teacup
sized crab to climb.
548
00:29:12,809 --> 00:29:14,129
Now safely away from danger,
549
00:29:16,369 --> 00:29:18,129
they await the next tidal shift.
550
00:29:18,729 --> 00:29:20,969
(dramatic music)
551
00:29:24,849 --> 00:29:27,129
These surviving mangrove forests
in Singapore
552
00:29:28,049 --> 00:29:29,889
are a vital habitat for hundreds
of species
553
00:29:30,489 --> 00:29:31,809
of animals and plants.
554
00:29:35,209 --> 00:29:36,129
A crucial part of the nation's
water story
555
00:29:36,129 --> 00:29:37,049
A crucial part of the nation's
water story
556
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,969
and a reminder of how the
island's water landscape
557
00:29:42,409 --> 00:29:43,169
once looked.
558
00:29:43,649 --> 00:29:46,089
(dramatic music)
559
00:29:55,329 --> 00:29:56,369
In the botanic gardens,
560
00:29:57,289 --> 00:29:59,449
the young otter family have just
moved house;
561
00:30:02,689 --> 00:30:05,969
a more urban den, complete with
a fancy front lawn,
562
00:30:07,929 --> 00:30:09,729
perfect for a bit of pampering
time.
563
00:30:10,249 --> 00:30:12,129
(dramatic music)
564
00:30:12,129 --> 00:30:13,009
(dramatic music)
565
00:30:14,009 --> 00:30:16,369
Smooth coated otters have two
layers of thick hair
566
00:30:17,249 --> 00:30:18,129
that need to be kept in tiptop
condition,
567
00:30:18,129 --> 00:30:18,729
that need to be kept in tiptop
condition,
568
00:30:21,449 --> 00:30:23,689
especially the outer waterproof
fur.
569
00:30:24,169 --> 00:30:26,569
(dramatic music)
570
00:30:27,569 --> 00:30:29,249
But it can be hard to reach
every part of the body.
571
00:30:32,049 --> 00:30:34,289
Grooming each other is a way to
bond,
572
00:30:34,769 --> 00:30:36,129
(dramatic music)
573
00:30:36,129 --> 00:30:37,249
(dramatic music)
574
00:30:38,289 --> 00:30:41,889
and the pups now eight weeks old
are keen to join in,
575
00:30:44,849 --> 00:30:46,089
but they're also easily
distracted
576
00:30:47,929 --> 00:30:48,129
and dying to explore their
garden home.
577
00:30:48,129 --> 00:30:49,689
and dying to explore their
garden home.
578
00:30:50,209 --> 00:30:52,449
(dramatic music)
579
00:31:00,649 --> 00:31:02,609
Mum leads the family across the
gardens
580
00:31:07,209 --> 00:31:09,969
and over to a small pond, the
perfect place for toddlers.
581
00:31:10,489 --> 00:31:12,129
(dramatic music)
582
00:31:12,129 --> 00:31:12,729
(dramatic music)
583
00:31:14,489 --> 00:31:15,609
Over the last few weeks,
584
00:31:16,529 --> 00:31:18,129
the pups have mastered the art
of swimming.
585
00:31:18,129 --> 00:31:18,169
the pups have mastered the art
of swimming.
586
00:31:20,889 --> 00:31:22,849
Today, it's time for their next
lesson.
587
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,049
Packed with tiny fish, the
shallow water
588
00:31:29,729 --> 00:31:30,129
is ideal for beginner hunters.
589
00:31:30,129 --> 00:31:31,249
is ideal for beginner hunters.
590
00:31:34,929 --> 00:31:36,129
Working in unison, the adults
show off their skills.
591
00:31:36,129 --> 00:31:37,689
Working in unison, the adults
show off their skills.
592
00:31:42,169 --> 00:31:44,129
Teamwork is the best way to make
a catch.
593
00:31:47,569 --> 00:31:48,129
The fish here are just the right
size for a little pup,
594
00:31:48,129 --> 00:31:50,289
The fish here are just the right
size for a little pup,
595
00:31:50,769 --> 00:31:53,409
(dramatic music)
596
00:31:54,489 --> 00:31:57,449
but they're too small to stand
up and eat like the adults.
597
00:31:57,969 --> 00:32:00,129
(dramatic music)
598
00:32:00,129 --> 00:32:00,169
(dramatic music)
599
00:32:07,609 --> 00:32:09,849
Mum must once again get them
out,
600
00:32:12,649 --> 00:32:13,649
one at a time.
601
00:32:14,169 --> 00:32:16,369
(dramatic music)
602
00:32:23,169 --> 00:32:24,129
Finally, the youngsters get a
taste
603
00:32:24,129 --> 00:32:24,929
Finally, the youngsters get a
taste
604
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:26,529
of the morning's hard work.
605
00:32:29,809 --> 00:32:30,129
The otters only catch tiny fish
like this now
606
00:32:30,129 --> 00:32:31,729
The otters only catch tiny fish
like this now
607
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:33,689
so the pups can learn to eat
608
00:32:34,489 --> 00:32:35,849
and practice using their front
paws.
609
00:32:39,409 --> 00:32:42,009
In just a few months, they'll
move on to much bigger fry.
610
00:32:44,689 --> 00:32:45,889
But in the meantime,
611
00:32:46,769 --> 00:32:48,129
this is quite the mouthful for a
beginner.
612
00:32:48,129 --> 00:32:48,409
this is quite the mouthful for a
beginner.
613
00:32:50,009 --> 00:32:52,289
(dramatic music)
614
00:32:59,489 --> 00:33:00,129
As the sun sets across
Singapore,
615
00:33:00,129 --> 00:33:01,129
As the sun sets across
Singapore,
616
00:33:02,769 --> 00:33:04,369
the city is transformed.
617
00:33:11,609 --> 00:33:12,129
Most of the waterways creatures
get some rest.
618
00:33:12,129 --> 00:33:13,729
Most of the waterways creatures
get some rest.
619
00:33:18,009 --> 00:33:18,129
A comfy ledge under a city
bridge is this family's bedroom.
620
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:21,209
A comfy ledge under a city
bridge is this family's bedroom.
621
00:33:24,689 --> 00:33:26,689
Others prefer to stay close to
the water,
622
00:33:29,809 --> 00:33:30,129
whilst above them river monsters
stretch out and blend in.
623
00:33:30,129 --> 00:33:33,729
whilst above them river monsters
stretch out and blend in.
624
00:33:37,049 --> 00:33:38,369
But not everyone is asleep in
the city.
625
00:33:40,889 --> 00:33:42,129
One creature is just waking up.
626
00:33:42,129 --> 00:33:43,049
One creature is just waking up.
627
00:33:45,129 --> 00:33:48,049
(dramatic music)
628
00:33:48,609 --> 00:33:50,009
The golden apple snail.
629
00:33:52,289 --> 00:33:53,409
Around the size of a golf ball,
630
00:33:54,329 --> 00:33:56,609
these mollusks live in calm
freshwater ponds.
631
00:33:58,609 --> 00:34:00,129
Specialized gills mean they can
breathe underwater.
632
00:34:00,129 --> 00:34:01,169
Specialized gills mean they can
breathe underwater.
633
00:34:04,089 --> 00:34:06,129
(dramatic music)
634
00:34:06,129 --> 00:34:06,569
(dramatic music)
635
00:34:07,529 --> 00:34:10,809
After a day of resting, the
snails are ravenous.
636
00:34:13,209 --> 00:34:15,769
Long tentacles compensate for
their terrible eyesight.
637
00:34:18,729 --> 00:34:21,689
They feel their way around the
pond searching for food,
638
00:34:25,289 --> 00:34:29,329
mostly vegetarian, a plant like
this is irresistible.
639
00:34:30,489 --> 00:34:32,769
(dramatic music)
640
00:34:35,609 --> 00:34:36,129
A special jaw and a row of
renewable teeth makes short work
641
00:34:36,129 --> 00:34:39,009
A special jaw and a row of
renewable teeth makes short work
642
00:34:39,609 --> 00:34:40,649
of this underwater salad.
643
00:34:45,449 --> 00:34:47,329
The night is spent happily
grazing,
644
00:34:47,849 --> 00:34:48,129
(dramatic music)
645
00:34:48,129 --> 00:34:50,129
(dramatic music)
646
00:34:54,129 --> 00:34:55,569
except for the females.
647
00:34:56,929 --> 00:34:58,529
They have another job.
648
00:34:59,009 --> 00:35:00,129
(dramatic music)
649
00:35:00,129 --> 00:35:01,289
(dramatic music)
650
00:35:04,169 --> 00:35:05,449
Just above the water,
651
00:35:06,329 --> 00:35:09,009
this one is busy creating a
masterpiece.
652
00:35:13,449 --> 00:35:15,809
Her contorted body forms a slimy
conveyor belt
653
00:35:17,569 --> 00:35:18,129
as she deposits hundreds of rice
green sized eggs,
654
00:35:18,129 --> 00:35:20,049
as she deposits hundreds of rice
green sized eggs,
655
00:35:23,929 --> 00:35:24,129
each one carefully aimed slides
into place.
656
00:35:24,129 --> 00:35:27,529
each one carefully aimed slides
into place.
657
00:35:30,529 --> 00:35:33,409
It takes hours to build this
teaspoon sized mound.
658
00:35:37,209 --> 00:35:39,729
In the darkness, she's safe
against daytime predators,
659
00:35:42,449 --> 00:35:43,489
but before the night ends,
660
00:35:44,329 --> 00:35:46,769
she must return to her watery
world.
661
00:35:47,289 --> 00:35:48,129
(dramatic music)
662
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,489

(water splashing)
665
00:35:59,729 --> 00:36:00,129
In the light of day,
666
00:36:00,129 --> 00:36:00,809
In the light of day,
667
00:36:01,689 --> 00:36:03,089
all that remains of the snail's
existence
668
00:36:04,569 --> 00:36:05,689
are splurges of pink.
669
00:36:07,849 --> 00:36:09,609
The eggs will hatch in 14 days
670
00:36:10,529 --> 00:36:12,129
and join their parents in the
water below.
671
00:36:12,129 --> 00:36:12,369

(dramatic music)
673
00:36:16,769 --> 00:36:18,129
Originally from South America,
674
00:36:18,129 --> 00:36:18,329
Originally from South America,
675
00:36:19,289 --> 00:36:21,649
thousands of these snails now
live in Singapore
676
00:36:22,689 --> 00:36:24,129
in just about every freshwater
habitat in the country.
677
00:36:24,129 --> 00:36:25,529

681
00:36:37,809 --> 00:36:39,129
On the pond in the city,
682
00:36:40,049 --> 00:36:41,849
the ducklings are now just over
a week old.
683
00:36:44,929 --> 00:36:46,569
So far, they've all survived,
684
00:36:49,969 --> 00:36:51,729
but one of the biggest
challenges for a duckling
685
00:36:52,609 --> 00:36:54,129
is keeping their soft downy
feathers dry.
686
00:36:54,129 --> 00:36:54,609

(dramatic music)
688
00:36:59,809 --> 00:37:00,129
Unlike the adults,
689
00:37:00,129 --> 00:37:00,969
Unlike the adults,
690
00:37:01,889 --> 00:37:03,129
their feathers aren't fully
waterproof yet
691
00:37:04,729 --> 00:37:06,129
and can't get too waterlogged.
692
00:37:06,689 --> 00:37:09,609
(dramatic music)
693
00:37:10,489 --> 00:37:12,129
Mom and dad have been dedicated
parents.
694
00:37:12,129 --> 00:37:13,049
Mom and dad have been dedicated

(dramatic music)
696
00:37:22,569 --> 00:37:24,129
But there's nothing they can do
about the weather.
697
00:37:24,129 --> 00:37:24,649
But there's nothing they can do
about the weather.
698
00:37:25,169 --> 00:37:27,169
(dramatic music)
699
00:37:27,849 --> 00:37:29,129
If the ducklings get drenched,
700
00:37:30,089 --> 00:37:30,129
their body temperature will drop
quickly
701
00:37:30,129 --> 00:37:31,569
their body temperature will drop
quickly
702
00:37:32,369 --> 00:37:34,129
and hypothermia can lead to
death.
703
00:37:37,449 --> 00:37:40,129
The race is on for the family to
seek refuge.
704
00:37:40,649 --> 00:37:42,129
(dramatic music)
705
00:37:42,129 --> 00:37:42,889

In tropical Singapore, it

800 million liters of water
710
00:38:12,969 --> 00:38:14,729
can pour down in just a few
hours,
711
00:38:17,449 --> 00:38:18,129
enough to fill over 300 Olympic
sized swimming pools.
712

enough to fill over 300 Olympic
sized swimming pools.
713
00:38:23,329 --> 00:38:24,129
Just about every part of the

00:38:26,929 --> 00:38:28,369
to capture this precious
resource.
716
00:38:28,849 --> 00:38:30,129
(dramatic music)
717
00:38:30,129 --> 00:38:30,409
(dramatic music)
718
00:38:31,529 --> 00:38:35,249
Smaller concrete drains channel
the water into larger canals
719
00:38:35,889 --> 00:38:36,129
and onward to the reservoirs.
720
00:38:36,129 --> 00:38:37,649
and onward to the reservoirs.
721
00:38:38,129 --> 00:38:40,409
(dramatic music)
722
00:38:42,649 --> 00:38:45,129
(otters chirping)
723
00:38:47,129 --> 00:38:48,129
For some, this deluge has little
impact on their lives,
724
00:38:48,129 --> 00:38:49,889
For some, this deluge has little
impact on their lives,
725
00:38:53,449 --> 00:38:54,129
but others must take shelter.
726
00:38:54,129 --> 00:38:55,409
but others must take shelter.
727
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:00,129
Rain vital for life here can
turn threatening
728
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:01,809
Rain vital for life here can
turn threatening
729
00:39:02,289 --> 00:39:03,009
in an instant.
730
00:39:03,529 --> 00:39:05,769
(dramatic music)
731
00:39:10,049 --> 00:39:11,489
The duck family scrambled to
find cover,
732
00:39:13,529 --> 00:39:15,489
but in the chaos, two of the
babies go missing.
733
00:39:20,289 --> 00:39:22,449
Ducklings feathers aren't fully
waterproof.
734
00:39:23,529 --> 00:39:24,129
If they get drenched, they could
perish from hypothermia.
735
00:39:24,129 --> 00:39:26,289
If they get drenched, they could
perish from hypothermia.
736
00:39:26,809 --> 00:39:29,129
(dramatic music)
737
00:39:33,769 --> 00:39:34,689
But with no shelter in sight,
738
00:39:38,089 --> 00:39:41,129
all mum can do is use her own
body as a shield
739
00:39:42,089 --> 00:39:42,129
to try and protect the remaining
four ducklings.
740
00:39:42,129 --> 00:39:44,129
to try and protect the remaining
four ducklings.
741
00:39:44,729 --> 00:39:46,129
(rain tinkling)
742
00:39:46,729 --> 00:39:48,129
(dramatic music)
743
00:39:48,129 --> 00:39:48,969
(dramatic music)
744
00:40:18,089 --> 00:40:18,129
After the storm, the pond
quickly heats up again
745
00:40:18,129 --> 00:40:22,049
After the storm, the pond
quickly heats up again
746
00:40:22,849 --> 00:40:24,129
and life returns to normal for
some.
747
00:40:24,129 --> 00:40:26,729
and life returns to normal for
some.
748
00:40:32,129 --> 00:40:34,929
Unfortunately, not everyone
survived the ordeal.
749
00:40:35,409 --> 00:40:36,129
(dramatic music)
750
00:40:36,129 --> 00:40:37,649
(dramatic music)
751
00:40:39,529 --> 00:40:42,129
But thanks to mum, the rest of
the brood are alive
752
00:40:42,129 --> 00:40:43,009
But thanks to mum, the rest of
the brood are alive
753
00:40:43,889 --> 00:40:45,529
and will hopefully continue to
grow bigger
754
00:40:46,129 --> 00:40:47,649
and stronger every day.
755
00:40:48,169 --> 00:40:50,129
(dramatic music)
756
00:40:51,169 --> 00:40:53,769
This urban pond is a surprising
habitat choice
757
00:40:54,569 --> 00:40:55,849
for the shy, lesser whistling
duck.
758
00:40:59,049 --> 00:41:00,129
But by creating the right
freshwater environment,
759
00:41:00,129 --> 00:41:01,129
But by creating the right
freshwater environment,
760
00:41:02,089 --> 00:41:05,129
the city has proven it can
attract rare species
761
00:41:05,689 --> 00:41:06,129
such as these.
762
00:41:06,649 --> 00:41:09,049
(dramatic music)
763
00:41:15,049 --> 00:41:16,609
Singapore's 31 rivers
764
00:41:17,489 --> 00:41:18,129
were once the main source of
fresh water.
765
00:41:18,129 --> 00:41:18,769
were once the main source of
fresh water.
766
00:41:22,089 --> 00:41:23,609
Now, almost every single one of
them
767
00:41:24,209 --> 00:41:25,329
has been highly modified.
768
00:41:25,849 --> 00:41:28,129
(dramatic music)
769
00:41:29,049 --> 00:41:30,129
Kallang River the longest flows
10 kilometers
770
00:41:30,129 --> 00:41:32,129
Kallang River the longest flows
10 kilometers
771
00:41:33,209 --> 00:41:35,529
from the heart of the country
into Marina Bay.
772
00:41:37,569 --> 00:41:39,129
Many of the city's canals have
been designed
773
00:41:40,089 --> 00:41:42,089
to channel precious fresh water
into this river
774
00:41:43,849 --> 00:41:45,809
as it winds its way through an
urban jungle
775
00:41:46,369 --> 00:41:47,209
and a concrete world.
776
00:41:49,849 --> 00:41:52,209
But recently, the upper part of
the Kallang River
777
00:41:52,769 --> 00:41:53,769
has been rejuvenated.
778
00:41:54,289 --> 00:41:55,809
(dramatic music)
779
00:41:56,889 --> 00:42:00,129
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is now 62
hectares of lush green
780
00:42:00,129 --> 00:42:00,849
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is now 62
hectares of lush green
781
00:42:03,809 --> 00:42:06,129
and three kilometers of
meandering fresh water.
782
00:42:06,129 --> 00:42:06,529
and three kilometers of
meandering fresh water.
783
00:42:07,049 --> 00:42:09,289
(dramatic music)
784
00:42:11,609 --> 00:42:12,129
Rare migrant birds, such as the
Asian openbill stork
785
00:42:12,129 --> 00:42:14,689
Rare migrant birds, such as the
Asian openbill stork
786
00:42:15,449 --> 00:42:16,609
have begun to make stopovers
here.
787
00:42:20,009 --> 00:42:22,169
On the ground, a huge diversity
of plants
788
00:42:22,729 --> 00:42:23,889
fringe the waterways,
789
00:42:26,529 --> 00:42:28,129
and the river is teeming with
fish
790
00:42:28,729 --> 00:42:30,129
(dramatic music)
791
00:42:30,129 --> 00:42:31,249
(dramatic music)
792
00:42:32,169 --> 00:42:34,449
perfect for a large pack of
wildly hunters.
793
00:42:34,969 --> 00:42:36,129
(dramatic music)
794
00:42:36,129 --> 00:42:37,209
(dramatic music)
795
00:42:41,969 --> 00:42:42,129
This family moved into the park
a few years ago
796
00:42:42,129 --> 00:42:43,649
This family moved into the park
a few years ago
797
00:42:45,049 --> 00:42:46,289
and in the narrow river
798
00:42:47,129 --> 00:42:48,129
they've refined their hunting
tactics.
799
00:42:48,129 --> 00:42:48,609
they've refined their hunting
tactics.
800
00:42:50,089 --> 00:42:52,489
(water splashing)
801
00:42:55,009 --> 00:42:57,889
Working as a team, they corral
the fish into the shallows,
802
00:43:01,849 --> 00:43:03,409
a show stopping performance.
803
00:43:03,889 --> 00:43:06,129
(dramatic music)
804
00:43:06,129 --> 00:43:06,169
(dramatic music)
805
00:43:09,569 --> 00:43:11,969
These otters have a large fan
club here
806
00:43:12,969 --> 00:43:14,809
in one of the most successfully
rejuvenated rivers
807
00:43:15,289 --> 00:43:15,689
in the country.
808
00:43:19,369 --> 00:43:21,289
But it's not just the otters who
have found a home here,
809
00:43:24,889 --> 00:43:27,129
other water loving wildlife have
also moved in,
810
00:43:29,689 --> 00:43:30,129
some so small that they go
completely unnoticed.
811
00:43:30,129 --> 00:43:33,089
some so small that they go
completely unnoticed.
812
00:43:35,409 --> 00:43:36,129
120 species of dragonflies and
damsel flies
813
00:43:36,129 --> 00:43:39,329
120 species of dragonflies and
damsel flies
814
00:43:40,289 --> 00:43:42,129
can be found flitting around the
calm waterways.
815
00:43:46,289 --> 00:43:48,129
And below them, one of the most
evolved creatures
816
00:43:48,129 --> 00:43:48,369
And below them, one of the most
evolved creatures
817
00:43:49,049 --> 00:43:52,929
in the world, the pond skater.
818
00:43:56,049 --> 00:43:58,969
This tiny insect around the size
of a fingernail
819
00:43:59,569 --> 00:44:00,129
literally walks on water.
820
00:44:00,129 --> 00:44:01,529
literally walks on water.
821
00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:06,129
The entire body is covered with
thousands of minuscule hairs
822
00:44:06,129 --> 00:44:08,809
The entire body is covered with
thousands of minuscule hairs
823
00:44:09,449 --> 00:44:11,129
that trap air to repel water.
824
00:44:14,929 --> 00:44:17,249
It can cover almost two meters
in a second
825
00:44:18,089 --> 00:44:18,129
and is always on the lookout for
a meal.
826
00:44:18,129 --> 00:44:19,489
and is always on the lookout for
a meal.
827
00:44:24,209 --> 00:44:26,009
Anything that falls into their
realm
828
00:44:26,489 --> 00:44:27,129
is hunted down:
829
00:44:28,809 --> 00:44:30,129
a dragonfly, excellent eating.
830
00:44:30,129 --> 00:44:31,329
a dragonfly, excellent eating.
831
00:44:34,889 --> 00:44:36,129
These insects are just one of
many small creatures
832
00:44:36,129 --> 00:44:37,289
These insects are just one of
many small creatures
833
00:44:38,329 --> 00:44:40,449
that make a home in Singapore's
freshwater habitats.
834
00:44:44,009 --> 00:44:47,769
Tiny but no less important for
this ecosystem.
835
00:44:48,289 --> 00:44:50,529
(dramatic music)
836
00:44:59,289 --> 00:45:00,129
A few months have passed and in
the botanic gardens
837
00:45:00,129 --> 00:45:02,369
A few months have passed and in
the botanic gardens
838
00:45:03,209 --> 00:45:05,409
the otter pups are now six
months old.
839
00:45:05,929 --> 00:45:06,129
(dramatic music)
840
00:45:06,129 --> 00:45:07,489
(dramatic music)
841
00:45:08,009 --> 00:45:10,329
(water splashing)
842
00:45:14,009 --> 00:45:15,609
But only the strongest two made
it.
843
00:45:19,649 --> 00:45:21,609
Survival rates are low for the
species
844
00:45:22,529 --> 00:45:24,129
and with only around 90 of them
in Singapore,
845
00:45:24,129 --> 00:45:24,369
and with only around 90 of them
in Singapore,
846
00:45:25,449 --> 00:45:28,169
smooth-coated otters are still
critically endangered here.
847
00:45:28,649 --> 00:45:30,129
(dramatic music)
848
00:45:30,129 --> 00:45:31,089
(dramatic music)
849
00:45:33,569 --> 00:45:36,049
The two pups are now the
teenagers of the family,
850
00:45:38,489 --> 00:45:40,529
finally big enough to fend for
themselves.
851
00:45:41,049 --> 00:45:42,129
(dramatic music)
852
00:45:42,129 --> 00:45:43,289
(dramatic music)
853
00:45:50,769 --> 00:45:51,809
In the city pond,
854
00:45:52,689 --> 00:45:54,129
the ducklings are also almost
fully grown,
855
00:45:54,129 --> 00:45:54,849
the ducklings are also almost
fully grown,
856
00:45:57,809 --> 00:45:59,049
and like the otter pups,
857
00:46:00,169 --> 00:46:02,489
only two managed to survive the
first few vulnerable months
858
00:46:02,889 --> 00:46:03,329
of life.
859
00:46:07,089 --> 00:46:09,489
But now they have waterproof
feathers
860
00:46:10,449 --> 00:46:12,129
and wings that are nearly ready
to take flight
861
00:46:12,129 --> 00:46:12,329
and wings that are nearly ready
to take flight
862
00:46:15,049 --> 00:46:17,209
and explore their unique city
home.

(dramatic music)
864
00:46:18,129 --> 00:46:20,089
(dramatic music)
865
00:46:23,329 --> 00:46:24,129
In the next four decades,
866
00:46:24,129 --> 00:46:24,329
In the next four decades,
867
00:46:24,929 --> 00:46:26,369
90% of Singapore's land
868
00:46:27,489 --> 00:46:29,609
will be part of an
interconnected water catchment
system,
869
00:46:33,689 --> 00:46:36,009
channeling fresh water into
rivers,
870
00:46:36,609 --> 00:46:37,809
lakes, and reservoirs.
871
00:46:38,329 --> 00:46:40,569
(dramatic music)
872
00:46:42,489 --> 00:46:46,129
A life-giving resource for us
and the wild.
873
00:46:49,009 --> 00:46:51,729
Freshwater ecosystems will
constantly evolve
874
00:46:53,929 --> 00:46:54,129
and many of our wild river
locals will continue to adapt
875
00:46:54,129 --> 00:46:57,969
and many of our wild river
locals will continue to adapt
876
00:46:58,889 --> 00:47:00,129
and thrive here in the wild
city.
877
00:47:00,129 --> 00:47:02,249

city.
