NARRATOR: WHEN YOU SEE THIS
SYMBOL, YOU KNOW YOU'RE

WATCHING TELEVISION THAT IS
EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL.

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: HI, EVERYBODY, I'M DYLAN
DREYER AND THIS IS "EARTH

ODYSSEY".

TODAY, WE BRANCH OUT TO SPEND
TIME WITH THE ANIMALS THAT SPEND

THEIR LIVES IN TREES.

LIKE THIS COLORFUL BIRD THAT HAS
TO USE ITS HEAD TO FIND ITS NEXT

MEAL.

AND LATER, WE'LL HEAD TO ONE OF
THE MOST REMOTE PLACES ON EARTH,

TO DISCOVER A MAMMAL THAT'S IN A
CLASS OF ITS OWN.

PLUS, WE HEAD TO THE PHILIPPINES
TO DISCOVER ONE MONKEY WHO HAS

CRACKED THE CODE ON HOW TO FIND
A GOOD MEAL IN THE MANGROVES.

BUT FIRST, WE SET OFF TO INDIA,
WHERE THE GOLDEN LANGUR LIVES

FULLY OFF THE SPOILS FOUND IN
THE RICH CANOPIES.

ALL THIS AND MORE TODAY ON
"EARTH ODYSSEY".

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THE
FIRST TREE ON EARTH BEGAN

GROWING AROUND 400 MILLION YEARS
AGO.

WHILE THAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG
TIME TO US, IT'S ONLY A SMALL

FRACTION OF THE FOUR POINT FIVE
BILLION YEARS OUR PLANET HAS

BEEN AROUND.

THAT MEANS TREES ARE RELATIVELY
NEW ON THE SCENE.

WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE,
CONSIDERING THE VITAL ROLE THEY

PLAY.

BREATHING LIFE INTO THE AIR AND
PROVIDING A HOME FOR THOUSANDS

OF ANIMAL SPECIES, LIKE THE
LANKY LANGURS YOU'RE ABOUT TO

MEET.

IN THE FORESTS OF NORTHEAST
INDIA, ONE RARE SPECIES OF

PRIMATE SPENDS ITS ENTIRE LIFE
IN THE CANOPY.

FEEDING, BITING, AND MATING,

ALL HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND.

THE GOLDEN LANGUR.

THESE TREE-DWELLERS LIVE IN
TIGHTLY KNIT SOCIAL GROUPS.

THEIR BREEDING SEASON RUNS
YEAR-ROUND.

BUT FEMALES GIVE BIRTH TO JUST A
SINGLE BABY.

CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR STATUS AS
ONE OF INDIA'S MOST ENDANGERED

MAMMALS.

THESE LANGURS SPEND THEIR WHOLE
LIFE IN THE TREES AND WILL

RARELY SET FOOT ON THE GROUND.

ALL THE FOOD THEY NEED CAN BE
FOUND IN THE CANOPY, WITH MATURE

LEAVES AND FRESH BUDS MAKING UP
THE MAJORITY OF THEIR DIET.

AND MOST OF THEIR WATER COMES
FROM DEW AND RAIN-SOAKED LEAVES.

HOWEVER, DESPITE THE ABUNDANCE
OF SNACKS, COMPETITION OVER

FEEDING IS RIPE.

MINOR DISAGREEMENTS CAN SOON GET
OUT OF HAND.

BUT GOLDEN LANGURS USUALLY OPT
FOR FLIGHT, NOT FIGHT.

AND SIMPLY LEAP AWAY.

LARGE HIND LIMBS PROVIDE
POWERFUL PROPULSION, WHILST

LONG, PADDED FINGERS ALLOW FOR
EFFECTIVE HOOKING AND GRABBING.

LANGURS ARE ONE OF THE FEW
PRIMATES TO HAVE ALL BUT LOST

THEIR THUMBS.

AN EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATION TO
HELP WHILE SWINGING THROUGH THE

TREES.

THEY ALSO HAVE A LONG TAIL,
WHICH ENHANCES BALANCE AND MAKES

ESCAPING A QUARREL A FAR EASIER
TASK.

BUT WHEN THE FIGHTING COMES TO
AN END, THEY HAVE A VERY GENTLE

WAY OF MAKING UP.

GROOMING IS ONE OF THEIR
FAVORITE PASTIMES AND IT ISN'T

ALWAYS DONE ALONE.

LANGURS TURN THIS INTO A SOCIAL
AFFAIR.

THEY OFTEN RUMMAGE THROUGH EACH
OTHER'S FUR TO ENFORCE SOCIAL

BONDS AND RELIEVE STRESS.

COMING UP, WE HEAD TO THE REMOTE
MANGROVE FOREST OF THE

PHILIPPINES TO TAKE A CRACK AT
CRAB PICKING WITH ONE OF THE

FINEST AND SMARTEST HUNTERS ON
THE ISLAND.

THEN, WE HIKE OVER TO THE
FOOTHILLS OF THE HIMALAYAS TO

DISCOVER ONE OF THE RAREST
MAMMALS ON THE PLANET.

PLUS, WE'LL SWOOP OVER TO THE
PANTANAL WITH A PARROT THAT'S

BEAK IS IN PEAK PERFORMANCE.

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: ONE PRIMATE ON THIS
REMOTE ASIAN ARCHIPELAGO HAS HAD

TO EVOLVE SOME CLEVER TRICKS TO
SURVIVE IN A VERY DIFFERENT KIND

OF FOREST.

THESE MANGROVES LINING THE
PHILIPPINE COAST.

GROWING IN ONE OF THE MOST
UNFORGIVING ENVIRONMENTS ON

EARTH.

THIS UNIQUE GROUP OF TREES AND
SHRUBS IS A TRUE SURVIVOR.

WITH THEIR ROOTS SUBMERGED IN
SALTWATER, THEY KEEP ONE FOOT ON

LAND AND ANOTHER IN THE SEA.

WHILE THE SALINITY HERE WOULD BE
ENOUGH TO KILL MOST PLANTS,

MANGROVES THRIVE IN THIS POORLY
AERATED SOIL.

SPECIAL ADAPTATIONS HELP THEM
SURVIVE.

RATHER THAN BREATHING THROUGH
THE SOIL, MANGROVE ROOTS RISE

ABOVE THE GROUND, TAKING OXYGEN
DIRECTLY FROM THE AIR.

THIS VAST NETWORK OF AERIAL
ROOTS ALSO PROVIDES STRUCTURAL

SUPPORT.

OVER TIME, THEY TRAP SEDIMENT AS
IT FLOWS OUT TO SEA.

CREATING NEW LAND AND
STABILIZING THE SHORELINE.

THESE DENSE FORESTS ACT AS STORM
BREAKS, DISSIPATING WAVE ENERGY.

AND PROVIDING A SAFE HAVEN FOR
YOUNG FISH AND CRUSTACEANS.

FOR THE MOST PART, THE MANGROVE
INHABITANTS LIVE HAPPILY

ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER.

BUT THERE'S ONE SPECIES THAT HAS
LEARNED TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS

STRANGE ENVIRONMENT.

PHILIPPINE LONG-TAILED MACAQUES
RULE THE MANGROVES.

THIS TROOP HAS MORE THAN 60
INDIVIDUALS.

EACH MONKEY SPORTS AN
EXTRAORDINARILY LENGTHY TAIL.

LONGER THAN THEY ARE TALL.

THESE PRIMATES HAVE HAD TO ADAPT
TO SURVIVE IN THIS UNUSUAL

SEMI-SUBMERGED FOREST.

RATHER THAN STAYING HIGH IN THE
CANOPY AS THEY MIGHT ELSEWHERE,

THEY FEED ON FALLEN FRUITS
BURIED IN THE MUD.

TAKING CARE TO AVOID THE JAGGED
MANGROVE ROOTS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: BUT AT LOW TIDE, THEIR
APPETITES CHANGE.

AND THEY BECOME CRAB EATERS.

SIFTING THROUGH THE MUD, THIS
ADULT SEEKS OUT HER PREY.

SHE KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE THAT
THIS MEAL CAN FIGHT BACK.

BUT IT'S WORTH THE RISK.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THIS YOUNGSTER DECIDES
IT'S HIS TURN.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: BUT HE'S GOT TO WORK ON
HIS CONFIDENCE.

AND RIGHTLY SO, IT'S A TRICKY
SKILL TO MASTER.

FOR NOW, A SEED WILL HAVE TO
SUFFICE.

THESE RESOURCEFUL PRIMATES HAVE
FOUND A WAY TO MAKE THE MOST OF

WHAT THIS UNIQUE FOREST HAS TO
OFFER.

AND ONCE HIS CRAB HUNTING
TECHNIQUE IS MASTERED, THERE'S

PLENTY HERE IN THE MANGROVES FOR
THIS YOUNG MACAQUE TO FEED ON.

COMING UP, WE HEAD TO THE
HIMALAYAS WHERE THIS RED PANDA

IS A BIT MORE ACTIVE THAN ITS
BAMBOO-EATING NAMESAKE.

PLUS, FIND OUT HOW THIS MACAW
ENLISTS THE HELP OF CATTLE TO

PREP ITS NEXT MEAL.

ALL OF THIS AND MUCH, MUCH MORE
COMING UP ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THERE ARE MORE THAN
60,000 SPECIES OF TREES ON EARTH

AND MOST OF THEM PROVIDE
HIGHRISE HOMES FOR ANIMALS OF

ALL KINDS.

THESE TREETOPS TENANTS HAVE
FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THE

RESOURCES OF EACH TREE'S UNIQUE
ECOSYSTEM TO SURVIVE.

EVEN IN PLACES SO REMOTE IT
SEEMS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR

WILDLIFE TO BRANCH OUT.

TAKE A LOOK.

THE FOOTHILLS OF THE HIMALAYAS
ARE ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE

REGIONS ON EARTH.

SO, IT'S THE PERFECT HOME FOR
ONE THE WORLD'S MOST SECRETIVE

ANIMALS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE RED PANDA.

NO BIGGER THAN A DOMESTIC CAT,
THIS MALE LEADS A SOLITARY LIFE.

HE SPENDS THE MAJORITY OF HIS
DAY FEEDING.

BUT LIKE THEIR GIANT BLACK AND
WHITE NAMESAKES, RED PANDAS ARE

UNABLE TO DIGEST THE CELLULOSE
FOUND IN MOST PLANTS.

SO, THEIR DIET IS ALMOST
ENTIRELY MADE UP OF BAMBOO.

THESE FORESTS, WITH THEIR
UNDERSTORIES THICK WITH BAMBOO,

ARE THE ONLY PLACE ON EARTH
WHERE HE CAN SURVIVE.

HOWEVER, HE CAN DIGEST JUST 24
PERCENT OF WHAT HE CONSUMES.

SO, HE MUST SPEND UP TO 13 HOURS
A DAY EATING, TO ENSURE HE GETS

ENOUGH NUTRIENTS.

ONCE HE'S HAD HIS FILL, IT'S
BACK TO THE CANOPY FOR SOME

IMPORTANT PAMPERING.

WITH FUR COVERING HIS ENTIRE
BODY, THIS CAT-LIKE CLEANING IS

ONE ACTIVITY THAT CANNOT BE
RUSHED.

WHEN HE'S NOT EATING OR
GROOMING, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING

THAT CAN ENTICE HIM DOWN FROM
HIS PERCH.

THE PROMISE OF A POTENTIAL MATE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: TIME FOR A SPOT OF
SEDUCTION.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: HE LAYS A TRAIL OF
SCENT, HOPING TO ENTICE A

PARTNER.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: BUT DESPITE HIS
PERSISTENCE, HIS EFFORTS ARE

FUTILE.

HE'S MISSED HIS CHANCE.

FEMALE RED PANDAS ARE ONLY
FERTILE FOR ONE 24 HOUR WINDOW

PER YEAR.

AND THAT'S USUALLY AT THE
BEGINNING OF SPRING.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: HE'LL JUST HAVE TO HOPE
HIS VISITOR PASSES BY A LITTLE

EARLIER NEXT YEAR.

IN THE MEANTIME, HE'S GOT SOME
IMPORTANT BAMBOO EATING TO CATCH

UP ON.

COMING UP, WE'LL DISCOVER WHAT
THE LARGEST PARROT IN THE WORLD

GOES NUTS OVER WHEN WE RETURN ON
"EARTH ODYSSEY".

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: IN LATIN AMERICA, LIVES
AN ANIMAL THAT RELIES ON

INTELLIGENCE TO ACCESS THE
RICHEST PICKINGS AROUND.

THE WETLANDS OF THE PANTANAL ARE
HOME TO MANY SURPRISING

CREATURES.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: INCLUDING THE LARGEST
PARROT IN THE WORLD.

THE HYACINTH MACAW.

THREE QUARTERS OF THE WORLD'S
POPULATION LIVE IN THIS AREA.

THEY THRIVE HERE DUE TO ONE
PLENTIFUL FOOD SOURCE.

PALM NUTS.

THIS LARGE BIRD FEEDS ALMOST
EXCLUSIVELY ON THESE NUTS.

TO GET TO THE RICHES INSIDE
THESE TOUGH OUTER SHELLS, THEY

FIRST NEED A HELPING HAND FROM
AN UNLIKELY SOURCE.

CATTLE.

PASSING COWS PARTIALLY DIGEST
FALLEN NUTS, REMOVING THE HUSKS.

THE BIRDS THEN CLAIM THEIR PRIZE
AND CRACK OPEN THE SHELL.

TOUGH WORK EVEN AFTER THEY'VE
BEEN DE-HUSKED.

BUT THIS PARROT IS BUILT FOR THE
CHALLENGE.

A THIRD OF ITS MUSCLES ARE
CONCENTRATED IN ITS HEAD, SO IT

CAN POWER ITS MONSTROUS
MANDIBLES TO BREAK OPEN THE NUT.

ONCE BRUTE FORCE HAS CRACKED THE
SHELL, THIS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT

PARROT USES ITS POWERFUL TONGUE
TO DIG OUT THE PRECIOUS KERNELS

INSIDE.

IT TAKES A LITTLE PATIENCE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: BUT EVENTUALLY, IT
SUCCEEDS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THANKS TO THEIR
INTELLIGENCE AND DETERMINATION,

THE PARROTS MAKE THE MOST OF THE
PANTANAL'S PALM NUTS.

TO THRIVE IN OUR PLANET'S
FORESTS AND JUNGLES, ANIMALS

HAVE ADAPTED TO A LIFE IN THE
TREES.

USING INCREDIBLE AGILITY.

AMAZING SENSES.

AND SOME VERY CLEVER THINKING.

THESE SPECIES HAVE OVERCOME THE
UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF THEIR

ENVIRONMENT.

IN THIS SECRET WORLD, THE
RAREST,

STRANGEST,

AND THE MOST UNEXPECTED
CREATURES MAKE THEIR HOME.

CREATING A HABITAT THAT SUPPORTS
MORE LIFE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON

EARTH.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING OUR
JOURNEY INTO THE FOREST, TO SEE

SOME AMAZING ANIMALS WHO MAKE
THE WORLD'S WOODED REGIONS THEIR

HOME.

WHETHER THEY CAMP OUT ON THE
CANOPY OR GRIND IT OUT ON THE

GROUND FLOOR, THESE ANIMALS ARE
RESOURCEFUL AND VERSATILE, USING

OUR PLANET'S TREES TO THRIVE IN
THE WILD.

WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN FOR ANOTHER
ADVENTURE ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".

[MUSIC]
