1
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:11,120
We have explored almost every corner
of our planet,
2
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:15,280
and it's easy to imagine that
there's nothing left to discover.
3
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,720
But the natural world
can still surprise us...
4
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,200
..with astonishing, wild places...
5
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,160
..remarkable spectacles...
6
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,520
..and breathtaking animal dramas.
7
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,640
In this programme, we celebrate
highlights from Planet Earth III.
8
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,480
We travel across the globe,
9
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,520
from hidden forests...
10
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,200
..and turbulent coasts...
11
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,880
..through vast, unexplored deserts.
12
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,360
We will also see
in this changing world
13
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,240
how animals are adapting
to new challenges.
14
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,080
This is Planet Earth III.
15
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,280
This is the most ancient desert
on the planet.
16
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,160
The Namib, in Southwest Africa.
17
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,320
It is one of the hottest places
on earth.
18
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Yet this male ostrich and his mate...
19
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,520
..have come here to start a family.
20
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Few predators venture out
during the heat of the day.
21
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,040
But such safety comes at a price.
22
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,400
Out in the open,
the newly hatched chicks
23
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,840
are exposed to
the crushing heat of the sun.
24
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,880
But not all of the brood
have hatched.
25
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Until they do,
the family will stay here.
26
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,640
The adults take it in turns
to protect the brood.
27
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,560
So, whilst the female
takes a well-earned break,
28
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,920
the male takes over
for the most testing shift.
29
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,560
He gently rolls the unhatched eggs...
30
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,720
..calling to the young within them.
31
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
He doesn't want to leave
anyone behind.
32
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,560
The temperature continues to rise
by five degrees Celsius every hour.
33
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,560
CHICK CHIRPS
34
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,560
He protects the chicks
that have emerged...
35
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,440
..shading them with his own body.
36
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,800
At the end of
another gruelling day in the sun...
37
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,560
..he's lost almost all his energy.
38
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,680
But he must resist the urge to rest.
39
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,600
The cool of the night
brings some relief,
40
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,240
but now, predators are out and about.
41
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,360
JACKAL BARKS
42
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,400
JACKAL MOANS
43
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,440
It's going to be a long night.
44
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Dawn brings a surprise.
45
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,080
Three additions to the family...
46
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,200
..to greet the returning female.
47
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,200
But there's a problem.
48
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,880
The chicks won't survive
another day in these temperatures.
49
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Yet the male is reluctant to leave.
50
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Some of the eggs
have still not hatched.
51
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
But time has run out.
52
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680
They must depart.
53
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,520
Just a few minutes too late.
54
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,480
CHICK CHIRPS
55
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,080
Alone and without the protection
of its parents,
56
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,080
this hatchling's chances are slim.
57
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:35,600
CHICK CHIRPS
58
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,080
CHIRPING CONTINUES
59
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,600
OSTRICH CHIRPS
60
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,960
CHIRPING CONTINUES
61
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,480
BOTH CHIRP
62
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,920
These ostrich have overcome a battle
63
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,640
with the deadly power of the sun.
64
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,600
But its intensity
can also be life-giving.
65
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,960
Here in the shallow seas
of North America,
66
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,160
the sun fuels the growth
67
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600
of an underwater forest.
68
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,840
Giant kelp.
69
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,600
One of the fastest-growing
organisms on the planet.
70
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,240
It can increase its length
by up to two feet a day...
71
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,880
..and eventually reach the height
of a 12-storey building.
72
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,320
These forests are nurseries
for young horn sharks.
73
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,200
As the sun begins to set,
they leave their daytime shelter...
74
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,600
..and set off into the heart
of the kelp forest to find food.
75
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,000
Barely half a metre long,
76
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,800
this little shark
is extremely vulnerable.
77
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400
There are monsters here.
78
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,440
A giant sea bass
79
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,080
weighing over 200kg...
80
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,200
..and wolf eels with big teeth
81
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120
that can crush
little red sea urchins.
82
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,840
But the biggest danger
comes from other sharks.
83
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,440
Hound sharks...
84
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,120
..and huge broadnose sevengills.
85
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,480
In this forest,
it pays to keep a low profile.
86
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,320
An angel shark.
87
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,760
One of the most deadly sharks
in the kelp forest
88
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,160
and certainly the best camouflaged.
89
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,640
An angel shark will lie in wait
for days.
90
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,520
But this one
91
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,200
has already attracted
too much attention.
92
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,120
It's not welcome here.
93
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Now the coast is clear.
94
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,720
But angel sharks
hunt around the clock.
95
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Openings for breathing
called spiracles
96
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,480
blow out sand that helps
cover its body.
97
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440
The trap is set.
98
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Staying close to the seabed
99
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,200
is a good way
to avoid most predators.
100
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,880
Faster than the blink of an eye.
101
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,600
But it's not over yet.
102
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Horn sharks have a secret weapon.
103
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,200
Sharp spikes keep them very much
off the menu for most...
104
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,120
..so this young horn shark
can continue hunting...
105
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,040
..safe from attack.
106
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,520
From kelp forests...
107
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,880
..to rainforests,
108
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,520
animals must develop remarkable
strategies in order to survive.
109
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,280
This is a tree hopper.
110
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Here in the Amazon,
111
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,000
there are hundreds of
different species of them...
112
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,720
..and they come in
an extraordinary variety of shapes.
113
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,040
HOPPER HUMS
114
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,680
But they also communicate...
115
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,320
..in a remarkable way.
116
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,000
HOPPERS CHIRP
117
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Most of these calls we can only hear
118
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,000
by using special microphones.
119
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Each tree hopper species
has its own repertoire...
120
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,920
HOPPER HOOTS
121
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,720
HOPPER RUMBLES
122
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,760
HOPPER COOS
123
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,040
..and every sound...
124
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,320
OVERLAPPING CALLS CONTINUE
125
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,160
..has its own particular meaning...
126
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000
..whether it is to attract a mate...
127
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,720
HOPPER BUZZES
128
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,000
..share information about food...
129
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,320
..or warn each other
about the arrival of predators.
130
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,240
HOPPER CHIRPS
131
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,920
This tree hopper mother uses sounds
to communicate with her young...
132
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,080
..encouraging them
to stay together...
133
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040
..so that she can protect them...
134
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,440
..for there are plenty here
waiting to eat young tree hoppers.
135
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,960
Ants - on the hunt.
136
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,280
Tree hoppers know
how to defend themselves.
137
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,760
But not all threats
are so easily dealt with.
138
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,760
An assassin bug.
139
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,200
Armed with piercing mouth parts
140
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760
and sticky front legs.
141
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,960
Capable of literally sucking
the life out of her entire brood.
142
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,360
She uses her body
to block the assassin's path...
143
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,640
..but she can't guard them all.
144
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,760
She needs help
from friends in high places.
145
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,360
BEES BUZZ
146
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Bees.
147
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,200
They're very aggressive.
148
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,480
MUSIC: Ride Of The Valkyries
by Richard Wagner
149
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,280
This is more than the assassin
bargained for.
150
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,960
Mission accomplished.
151
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,800
Her brood are safe...
152
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,760
..and the bees claim a reward.
153
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,640
A little tickle
on a tree hopper's back...
154
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,680
..and the hopper excretes some
of its partly digested plant sap...
155
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,800
..which we call,
rather flatteringly, honeydew.
156
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,480
A sweet reward for protecting them.
157
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,560
In the Amazon,
it pays to work together.
158
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:20,760
On the open grasslands of Africa...
159
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,360
..where many eyes watch for danger...
160
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,360
..hunters are driven to new heights
to gain the advantage.
161
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,360
This leopardess, believe it or not,
162
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:45,320
is ready to hunt
at a moment's notice.
163
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,920
She is one of the few
special leopards
164
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,360
that have learnt to hide
in the tree tops
165
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,360
and wait for their prey
to come to them.
166
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Without making a sound,
167
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,200
she gets into position.
168
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,120
Not this time.
169
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,480
And now her presence is known to all.
170
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,080
BABOON BARKS
171
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:08,720
But leopards will go to
astonishing lengths to succeed...
172
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,600
..and some are more daring
than others.
173
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,080
This leopard climbs up to a branch
174
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,200
nine metres above the ground.
175
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,120
She's higher than the roof
of a two-storey house.
176
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Leopards have killed themselves
jumping from these heights.
177
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,120
To succeed on
these equatorial grasslands,
178
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,120
you must be adaptable...
179
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,240
..and sometimes brave.
180
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,320
Here in southern Africa,
181
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,320
the lives of animals are driven
by huge seasonal changes.
182
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,560
Every year,
over 5,000 square miles of grassland
183
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,920
are transformed by water.
184
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,280
The Okavango in flood...
185
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,520
..attracts millions of animals.
186
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,560
And for some,
187
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,720
now is the perfect time
to raise a family.
188
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,760
A lily-trotter.
189
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,400
EGGSHELL CRACKS
190
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,640
And he is a father on duty.
191
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,760
TROTTER CHIRPS LOUDLY
192
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,520
He has not just one...
193
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,000
..but four newly-hatched chicks.
194
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,000
They won't be able to fly
for another six weeks...
195
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,560
CHICK CHIRPS
196
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,920
..so, until then,
197
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,440
he alone is their protector.
198
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,520
Walking on water
is not straightforward...
199
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,440
..so he must show them
how to be a lily-trotter.
200
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,040
The floodwaters make
the perfect training ground.
201
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,680
And in two weeks...
202
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,240
..his chicks not only
double in size...
203
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,120
..they grow in confidence.
204
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,600
But this is a dangerous place
to stray.
205
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,960
HE CHIRPS
206
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,280
He sounds the alarm
207
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,920
and his chicks instantly freeze.
208
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,920
They can't yet fly to safety.
209
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,440
But there is one thing
he can do to protect them...
210
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,000
TROTTER SQUAWKS
211
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,680
..and it's risky.
212
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,720
Get close enough to distract...
213
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,920
..and hopefully divert the crocodile.
214
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,440
SQUAWKING CONTINUES
215
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:25,200
Mission accomplished.
216
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,280
HE CHIRPS LOUDLY
217
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,560
He signals the all-clear...
218
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,640
CHICK CHIRPS
219
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:58,240
..but one chick is missing.
220
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,240
HE CHIRPS LOUDLY
221
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120
His calls...
222
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,240
..go unanswered.
223
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,280
HE CHIRPS LOUDLY
224
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,520
CHICK CHIRPS
225
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,160
A little bedraggled,
but alive and well.
226
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,880
This chick just hadn't heard
his call.
227
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,400
And when danger threatens,
228
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,640
it's always better to be safe
than sorry.
229
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,080
He's brought his chicks
- all four of them -
230
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,960
to the verge of independence.
231
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,440
The early stages of any animal's
life are their most vulnerable...
232
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,120
..and in the treacherous
coastal waters
233
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,280
of South Africa's Robberg Peninsula,
234
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,160
Cape fur seals face
an unexpected challenge.
235
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,280
SEALS BARK AND GRUNT
236
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,640
This pup was born into
a crowded world.
237
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,760
But now, at nearly a year old,
238
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,200
he can escape to the water.
239
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,800
There is no question
240
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,240
as to where this pup belongs.
241
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,640
In the water,
242
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,640
he's fast and agile...
243
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,400
..and he needs to be.
244
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,680
The rolling surf conceals
life-threatening dangers.
245
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,040
The great white shark.
246
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,560
This young pup has had
a very lucky escape.
247
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,360
SEALS BARK AND GRUNT
248
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,000
Here on Africa's southern coast,
249
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,200
seals risk their lives
every time they set out to eat.
250
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Powerful ocean currents
attract huge shoals of fish.
251
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,080
But in recent years,
252
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,720
this stretch has attracted increased
numbers of great whites, too.
253
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,720
The great whites are shrewd hunters
254
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,680
and use whatever cover is available.
255
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,440
This shark won't need to eat
for another few days...
256
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,840
SEAGULLS CAW
257
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,760
..but he's not alone.
258
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,280
These usually solitary hunters
259
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,480
are gathering in
unprecedented numbers...
260
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,760
..a dozen at a time.
261
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,160
The seals are nimble...
262
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,240
..but great whites are patient...
263
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,120
..and have explosive acceleration...
264
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:27,480
..hitting top speed
with just five swipes of their tails.
265
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,600
Cornered, the seals keep close
to the jagged cliffs.
266
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,160
They're trapped.
267
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,440
But as the great whites
move in for the kill...
268
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,960
..the seals do something astonishing.
269
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,640
Together...
270
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,840
..they turn on their enemy.
271
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,800
As more join, the mob grows...
272
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,600
..in both number and confidence.
273
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,240
The tables are turning.
274
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,760
By sheer force of numbers,
these fur seals
275
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,840
drive the world's
most notorious predator...
276
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,240
..back out to sea.
277
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,000
These seals have found
a remarkable way
278
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,160
to meet the demands of life
in the wild.
279
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,240
But many animals must now
rise to a new challenge...
280
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:31,600
..living alongside us...
281
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,320
..and few have managed to
exploit this more brazenly
282
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,400
than this troop of
long-tailed macaques in Bali.
283
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,800
They have everything
they could want for...
284
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,040
..and that is thanks to us.
285
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,000
The troop heads for a building
in the centre of their territory.
286
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,280
Uluwatu Temple.
287
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,560
MACAQUE CHITTERS
288
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,600
Tourists come here
every day in crowds...
289
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,040
..so the temple grounds
are full of opportunities...
290
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,600
..if you know where to look.
291
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,320
TOURIST GASPS
292
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,800
There is a constant supply of hats...
293
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,680
..and sunglasses...
294
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,680
..and, if you've mastered
the element of surprise...
295
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,920
..it's easy to get them.
296
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,160
CELL CAMERA CLICKS
297
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,000
But this harvest is not for eating.
298
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:56,000
It's for bargaining.
299
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,320
Seems like a fair trade.
300
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,000
But there are greater rewards
to be had
301
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,840
for those who know how to get them...
302
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,280
PHONE CAMERAS CLICK
303
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,600
..and this old male
appears to be doing...
304
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,840
..very well.
305
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,960
He and the other elders in this troop
306
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,800
have both experience and knowledge.
307
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:53,760
They've been working the temple
for over ten years,
308
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,480
and now concentrate on
the big stuff...
309
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,720
..things that human beings
just can't do without.
310
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:12,400
TOURIST GASPS
311
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,880
No-one wants to walk home
with just one shoe.
312
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,160
MACAQUE CHITTERS
313
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:30,360
And these old boys can't wait to
get their hands on the latest tech.
314
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,040
TOURIST GASPS
315
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,280
They've worked out
that we simply can't survive
316
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,640
without our phones...
317
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,240
..or our wallets.
318
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:12,880
MACAQUE SCREECHES
319
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,560
TOURIST GASPS
320
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,560
The older males understand something
the youngsters have yet to learn...
321
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,680
..the art of the deal.
322
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,600
A banana?
323
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,800
How dare you?
324
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,360
MACAQUE SCREECHES
325
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,400
A bar of chocolate?
326
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:46,960
That's better.
327
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,400
The real skill
is in the negotiations.
328
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,800
The macaques are playing us
at our own game.
329
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,120
They demand...
330
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,520
..whatever they want.
331
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,320
A lucky few are able to succeed
332
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,480
in a human world...
333
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,680
..but our impact now extends to
even the most remote corners
334
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,240
of the planet.
335
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,160
Raine Island.
336
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,760
One of the planet's
most important breeding sites...
337
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,560
..for one particularly precious
species...
338
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:05,840
..the green turtle.
339
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:13,000
On a few special nights each year,
340
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,920
as many as 20,000 females
come ashore here.
341
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,280
Their instinct to nest is strong...
342
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:30,120
..and many haul themselves far inland
in search of nesting space.
343
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,840
In a single night,
344
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,360
they may lay
as many as two million eggs.
345
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,040
Dawn.
346
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,960
This exhausted female has nested,
347
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,160
but now she faces
a long return journey
348
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,560
through the dunes to the sea.
349
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,760
As the sun rises...
350
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:25,000
..she's at risk of being baked alive.
351
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,760
Every inch she travels
is gruelling...
352
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,200
..and the ebbing tide has exposed
a rocky reef.
353
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,280
It has already claimed many lives...
354
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,480
..other females overcome by heat
and exhaustion.
355
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,120
Her temperature is rising.
356
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,200
She has to keep going.
357
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:39,640
SHE EXHALES
358
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,640
As many as 2,000 female turtles
359
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,440
may die here each year.
360
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,840
SHE GRUNTS
361
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,560
TIDE APPROACHES
362
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,480
But the coast is always changing...
363
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,880
..and the turning tide
364
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,920
may yet save her.
365
00:55:59,720 --> 00:56:03,000
Half of all the green turtles
in the Pacific
366
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,840
come here to nest,
367
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,640
as they have done
for at least a thousand years.
368
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,480
But for how much longer?
369
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,480
If sea levels rise as predicted,
370
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,080
within the next 30 years,
371
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,120
Raine Island will disappear
beneath the waves.
372
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,760
We have reached a crucial time
in our planet's history.
373
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,280
Life faces many challenges...
374
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,840
..but the natural world
is remarkably resilient...
375
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,720
..and many great wonders
still remain...
376
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,600
The question is...
377
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,840
..for how much longer?
378
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,320
Habitat Explorer brings animals
and their habitats to life.
379

380
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,720
