ANNOUNCER: WHEN YOU SEE THIS
SYMBOL YOU KNOW YOU'RE

WATCHING TELEVISION THAT'S
EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: I'M DYLAN DREYER
AND THIS IS EARTH ODYSSEY.

CAMBODIA, A COUNTRY
FLOODED WITH ANCIENT

RIVERS AND WATERWAYS.

FEEDING THE DENSE FORESTS
AND MYSTERIOUS WILDLIFE.

TODAY, WE DIVE INTO
THIS LUSH AND DIVERSE

ECOSYSTEM, TEEMING WITH
LIFE BOTH BIG AND SMALL.

FROM THE GIANTS WHO
ROAM THE FORESTS,

TO HIGH FLYING
ACROBATS OF THE TREETOPS.

AND SOME SURPRISING
CREATURES BELOW.

GET READY TO UNCOVER THE
MYSTERY THAT IS CAMBODIA.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE KELP FOREST
EXHIBIT BEHIND ME REVEALS

ONE OF THE OCEAN'S
MOST DYNAMIC ECOSYSTEMS.

IT'S ALSO A GREAT WAY TO
DESCRIBE OUR DESTINATION

TODAY, THE
KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA.

ITS BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
IS PARTIALLY THANKS TO A

MONSOON SEASON, WHICH
BRINGS PLENTY OF RAIN TO

FILL THE RIVERS
AND WATERWAYS.

WE'LL HAVE TO
WATCH OUR STEP THOUGH,

THE EARTH MOVES EASILY
WITH ALL OF THAT WATER.

SO GRAB YOUR RAINCOAT AND
LET'S SEE WHO WE CAN MEET

ON TODAY'S JOURNEY.

CAMBODIA IS BORDERED BY
THE COUNTRIES THAILAND,

LAOS, AND VIETNAM, AS WELL
AS THE GULF OF THAILAND.

THE COUNTRY IS PART OF A
REGION CALLE INDOCHINA,

THAT'S IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: MOST OF THE LAND
IS LOW-LYING PLAINS WITH

MOUNTAINS IN THE NORTH AND
MORE HILLS TO THE EAST.

THE WATER
SYSTEMS ARE EPIC.

RIVERS RUNNING WILD
THROUGH THE LAND.

ANCHORED BY THE MEKONG
RIVER THAT'S NEARLY

2,500 MILES LONG.

THE MEKONG FEEDS THE
LARGEST INLAND BODY OF

WATER IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.

THE TONLE SAP.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: ANIMALS AND PLANTS
HERE MUST ADAPT TO EXTREME

WEATHER.

A HOT, DRY SEASON FOLLOWED
BY SIX MONTHS OF FLOODING

RAINS.

THE MONSOON SEASON BRINGS
LIFE BACK FROM THE BRINK

AND DEEP IN THE JUNGLE.

WE CATCH OUR FIRST GLIMPSE
OF ONE OF THE ANIMALS WHO

LIVES HERE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE
MIGHTY ASIAN ELEPHANT.

SMALLER THAN ITS
AFRICAN COUSIN,

BUT STILL WEIGHS A
HEFTY THREE TONS.

THAT'S MORE THAN A CAR.

MOST OF THE ELEPHANTS
IN CAMBODIA LIVE IN THE

EASTERN PLAINS.

THESE ANIMALS NEED TO
FIND A LOT OF FOOD TO KEEP

THEIR MASSIVE FIGURE.

THEY EAT ALL DAY.

SOMETIMES AS MANY AS
16 HOURS AT A TIME.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE MIGRATION
ROUTES OF THESE ELEPHANTS

HAVE DRASTICALLY CHANGED
OVER THE CENTURIES.

THERE IS LESS
LAND TO FORAGE.

THESE GIANTS ARE ALWAYS
SEARCHING FOR THEIR NEXT MEAL.

BUT WATCH WHERE YOU WALK.

MUDDY GROUNDS MAY BE
EXCELLENT FOR HUNTING

TASTY BERRIES, BUT IT'S
EASY TO SLIP AND SLIDE

WITH ALL THAT RAIN.

LUCKILY, THESE ELEPHANTS
ARE EQUIPPED WITH ENORMOUS

PADDED FEET.

ABSORBING THE SHOCK
OF ALL THEIR WEIGHT.

AND KEEPING THEM
FROM TOPPLING OVER.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THESE ELEPHANTS
ALSO HAVE A BUILT-IN

AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM.

ENORMOUS EARS.

IN THE HOT, HUMID
FORESTS OF CAMBODIA,

TEMPERATURES WILL SOAR
TOWARDS 100 DEGREES.

HEAT THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS
IF IT BUILDS UP IN THE

ELEPHANT'S BODY.

THE ASIAN ELEPHANTS FLAP
THEIR GIANT EARS TO COOL

DOWN.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: OUT HERE, IT'S
GREAT TO HAVE AN EXTRA

HAND.

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT AN
ELEPHANT'S TRUNK OFFERS.

AND MAYBE MORE.

ELEPHANTS' TRUNKS
HAVE MORE THAN

100,000 MUSCLES
WORKING TOGETHER.

THE TRUNK ACTS LIKE
A MULTITASK TOOL.

ELEPHANTS USE THESE
AMAZING APPENDAGES TO EAT,

SMELL, BREATHE, AND
COMMUNICATE WITH EACH

OTHER.

PLAYFUL AND
SOCIAL CREATURES,

ELEPHANTS ALSO USE THEIR
TRUNKS TO SHOW AFFECTION.

LOOK AS THE ELEPHANTS
SHOW AFFECTION BY WRAPPING

THEIR TRUNKS
AROUND EACH OTHER.

REACHING OUT TO BOND
WITH EACH OTHER AND BUILD

LASTING FRIENDSHIPS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: SINCE THE ASIAN
ELEPHANTS SUFFER FROM

TERRIBLE EYESIGHT, THEY
RELY ON THEIR TRUNKS TO

SMELL OUT ANY
DANGER LURKING.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: ELEPHANTS TRAVEL
IN HERDS TO STAY IN TOUCH

WITH EACH OTHER.

THESE ELEPHANTS CAN MAKE
DEEP RUMBLING SOUNDS WITH

THEIR NOSE AND THROAT,
NOISES SO LOW THAT THE

HUMAN EAR CAN'T HEAR THEM.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: IT IS THOUGHT THAT
THOSE SOUNDS CAN TRAVEL AS

FAR AS THREE MILES AWAY.

AND ROAMING HERDS CAN
SENSE THESE LOW NOISES

THROUGH THEIR
FEET AND TRUNKS.

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO FIND
OUT WHAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE

HAVING FOR DINNER, AND
WHERE TO FIND THE BEST

WATERING SPOTS FOR
A DIP IN THE POOLS.

ELEPHANTS THINK NOTHING
IS BETTER THAN A GOOD BATH

AMONG FRIENDS.

ALL OF THAT
EATING IS HARD WORK.

WITH OVERFLOWING RIVERS
AND STREAMS DURING THE

MONSOON SEASON...

[ELEPHANT TRUMPETS]

DYLAN: ...CAMBODIA IS FILLED
WITH UNEXPECTED CREATURES IN

THE WATER AND ON THE LAND.

THE ELEPHANTS SOAK UP
THE FUN WHILE THEY CAN.

SOON, THE DRY SEASON WILL
BE BACK AND THOSE LAZY

RIVER DAYS WILL SEEM
LIKE A DISTANT MEMORY.

A LONG-FORGOTTEN KINGDOM
TAKEN OVER BY THE JUNGLE.

LOOK WHO HOLDS COURT NOW.

AND WATCH AS THESE
ACROBATS OF THE TREES

PERFORM DEATH
DEFYING ACTS.

AND THEN, WHAT'S THIS
MYSTERIOUS CREATURE ON THE

FOREST FLOOR?

IT WEARS A SECRET
SYMBOL ON ITS CHEST.

FIND OUT WHO IT COULD
BE COMING UP RIGHT AFTER

THIS, ON EARTH ODYSSEY.

.

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

NARRATOR: THIS EPISODE OF
EARTH ODYSSEY WITH DYLAN

DREYER IS BROUGHT TO YOU
BY RIPLEY'S AQUARIUMS.

DYLAN: WELCOME
BACK TO EARTH ODYSSEY.

IN THIS REGION,
KNOWN AS INDOCHINA,

800 YEARS AGO THIS
WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST

PREINDUSTRIAL
CITIES IN THE WORLD.

THE KINGDOM OF ANGKOR,
PART OF THE KHMER EMPIRE.

MORE THAN A MILLION
PEOPLE LIVED HERE.

REMINDERS OF GREATNESS NOW
COVERED IN VINES IN THE

MIDDLE OF A JUNGLE.

IT LOOKS LIKE A SCENE
OUT OF AN ADVENTURE MOVIE,

WITH A NEW CAST
READY TO TAKE THE STAGE.

MEET THE MACAQUES.

THESE LONG-TAILED MONKEYS
RULE OVER THIS CITY LONG

ABANDONED BY THEIR
HUMAN PREDECESSORS.

THE KHMER PEOPLE BUILT
A SYSTEM OF MOATS AND

RESERVOIRS TO
CAPTURE THE RAINS.

TODAY, THIS WATERY
LANDSCAPE SERVES THESE

MONKEYS WELL.

MACAQUES ENJOY
BIG, NOISY FAMILIES.

60 IN A TROOP, MAKING
FOR CRAZY EATING TIMES.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: MACAQUES
ARE PICKY EATERS.

AND IN SOME
PARTS OF THE WORLD,

THEY'VE FIGURED OUT A WAY
TO ACTUALLY CLEAN THEIR

FOOD.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE LITTLE ONES
HAVE TO MAKE THEIR VOICES

HEARD OVER THE TROOP.

SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT
THE BABIES ARE BORN DURING

THE RAINY SEASON, MAKING
SURE THERE IS PLENTY OF

WATER AND FOOD.

THE MOMS ARE IN
CHARGE OF THE BABIES,

AND THAT'S A
FULL TIME JOB;

FEEDING, CLEANING, AND
PROTECTING THEM FROM

PREDATORS.

AS THE YOUNG MALE
MACAQUES GROW UP,

THEY TEST THEIR
STRENGTH IN PLAY BATTLES,

GETTING READY FOR
LIFE IN THE JUNGLE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: WHEN
THEY'RE A LITTLE OLDER,

THEY'LL LEAVE THE TROOP
AND THIS WATERY KINGDOM,

FIND A BAND OF MALE
BACHELORS TO HANG OUT WITH

OR TRY RUNNING THEIR
OWN TROOP OF MONKEYS.

WHEREVER THEY END UP,
THESE MONKEYS NEED TO BE

RESOURCEFUL, FINDING WATER
AND FOOD AT ALL TIMES.

LUCKILY, THE MONSOON
SEASON PROVIDES BOTH.

THESE RULERS OF THE FOREST
TREETOPS LOOK LIKE THEY

COME FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

BLUE-FACED WITH
YELLOW-RINGED EYES,

THE BLACK-SHANKED DOUCS
ONLY LIVE HERE IN CAMBODIA

AND IN
NEIGHBORING VIETNAM.

RARE AND ENDANGERED, THEY
PERFORM WILD TRICKS IN THE AIR.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: DARING ACTS
SAILING THROUGH THE

TREETOPS LIKE
TRAPEZE ARTISTS.

LONG HIND LEGS SHOOT UP
GIANT TREES HUNDREDS OF

FEET IN THE SKY.

TAILS HELP THEM BALANCE
ON SKINNY TREE LIMBS.

ALWAYS ON THE MOVE,
LOOKING FOR UNRIPE FRUIT

TO EAT.

UNLIKE OTHER MONKEYS, RIPE
FRUIT IS HARDER FOR THIS

SPECIES TO DIGEST.

EVEN THE LITTLE ONES
WILL GET INTO THE ACT,

FOLLOWING THEIR PARENTS,
LEAPING FROM TREE TO TREE

DEEPER INTO THE FOREST.

WHEN EARTH
ODYSSEY RETURNS,

WE GO IN SEARCH OF A
MYSTICAL CREATURE WITH A

SYMBOL ON HIS CHEST.

BEAR IN MIND, HE
MAY LOOK TOUGH,

BUT BY NO MEANS IS HE AT
THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN,

THAT'S RESERVED FOR
ANOTHER PREDATOR.

.

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

DYLAN: WELCOME
BACK TO EARTH ODYSSEY,

I'M DYLAN DREYER.

THESE ALIEN LOOKING
CREATURES BEHIND ME HERE

AT RIPLEY'S AQUARIUM OF
CANADA ARE ACTUALLY VERY

MUCH FROM PLANET EARTH.

THEY'RE
PACIFIC SEA NETTLES.

THEY HAVE NO
EYES, NO BRAIN,

AND THEY'RE ALMOST
95 PERCENT WATER.

THEY'RE ALSO NOT THE
ONLY JELLYFISH IN THE SEA,

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF JELLYFISH FOUND

AROUND THE WORLD,
INCLUDING MOON JELLIES;

WHOSE NICKNAME IS SHARED
BY THE CAMBODIAN MAMMAL

YOU'RE ABOUT TO MEET.

LET'S TAKE A TRIP BACK
INTO THE FOREST TO SEE IF

WE CAN CATCH A GLIMPSE OF
THIS FURRY LUNAR GIANT.

BILLOWING CLOUDS MARK THE
BEGINNING OF THE MONSOON

SEASON ONCE
AGAIN IN CAMBODIA.

WATER RUSHES DOWN FROM THE
FOREST UNTIL IT MEETS UP

WITH THE MEKONG RIVER; THE
LONGEST RIVER IN SOUTHEAST

ASIA.

DURING THE RAINY MONSOONS,
THIS RIVER WILL GROW TO 16

TIMES ITS SIZE.

BOTH PLANTS AND ANIMALS
DEPEND ON THOSE RAINS TO

COME BACK EVERY YEAR,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT

AN ENORMOUS APPETITE.

HIDING IN THE
THICK FOREST,

YOU MIGHT CATCH A GLIMPSE
OF A FURRY CREATURE.

BUT KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.

THE POWERFUL ASIATIC BLACK
BEAR IS A TOWER OF FORCE.

THIS BEAR WEIGHS TWICE AS
MUCH AS THE AVERAGE HUMAN

AND COULD PLAY
PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL

WITH AN AVERAGE HEIGHT
OF SIX AND A HALF FEET.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: BUT THE
MOST INTRIGUING

CHARACTERISTIC...

AN ASTRONOMICAL
SIGN ON ITS CHEST.

A CREAMY WHITE MARK THAT
LOOKS JUST LIKE A CRESCENT

SHAPED MOON.

ITS NICKNAME?

MOON BEAR.

THESE BEARS ARE BUILT A
LOT LIKE ITS COUSINS,

THE AMERICAN BLACK BEARS.

IT'S THOUGHT THEY
MIGHT EVEN SHARE A COMMON

ANCESTOR.

THE MOON BEAR HAS
A NOSE FOR FOOD,

TOO.

WITH A POWERFUL
SENSE OF SMELL,

HE CAN SNIFF OUT
TASTY INSECTS AND GRUBS.

EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BURIED
THREE FEET BELOW THE

FOREST FLOOR.

HE QUICKLY DIGS FOR
HIS DINNER WITH LONG,

SHARP CLAWS.

THE EARTH IS SOFT
AFTER ALL OF THE RAIN.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE TREES ARE
LIKE SPONGES FOR THE RAIN,

CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR EVEN THE SMALLEST

CREATURES TO
GET INTO THE ACT.

THIS PRAYING MANTIS BLENDS
INTO THE LEAVES AROUND IT.

GREAT COVER FROM
HUNGRY PREDATORS.

BUT THIS INSECT NEEDS
TO DRINK WATER EVERYDAY.

A RAINDROP FROM A WAXY
LEAF WILL DO THE TRICK.

COMING UP ON
EARTH ODYSSEY,

WHAT'S THAT PEERING
BETWEEN THOSE JUNGLE

LEAVES?

PERHAPS THE MOST FEROCIOUS
CREATURE IN CAMBODIA,

AND ONE OF THE
MOST BEAUTIFUL.

JUST DON'T LET ITS
LOUD PURRING FOOL YOU.

AND WE SLITHER BACK TO THE
WATER TO FIND OUT WHERE

THIS SNAKE IS HEADED.

WE'LL HAVE THAT AND A
LOT MORE NEXT ON EARTH

ODYSSEY.

.

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

DYLAN: WELCOME
BACK TO EARTH ODYSSEY.

THESE FORESTS AND JUNGLES
OF CAMBODIA ARE TEEMING

WITH LIFE.

PERHAPS NONE AS
RECOGNIZABLE THAN THIS

GIANT CAT.

THE INDOCHINESE TIGER IS A
NATURAL PREDATOR FOR MOST

WILDLIFE IN THIS
HOT, HUMID CLIMATE.

THESE TIGERS LIVE
ALONE IN THE WILD,

SEEING ONE UP
CLOSE IS A RARE TREAT.

AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE
CAT DISAPPEARS AS FAST AS

IT CAN BACK INTO
THE DEEP JUNGLE.

BACK ON THE RIVER, THERE
IS ANOTHER PREDATOR OF

SORTS AND HE'S JUST AS
SLIPPERY AS THE TIGER.

PERHAPS MORE SO.

THE BURMESE PYTHON, ONE OF
THE LARGEST SNAKES IN THE

WORLD.

THIS MONSTER SNAKE CAN
GROW 23 FEET LONG AND

WEIGH NEARLY 300 POUNDS.

THE PYTHON'S SHARP SENSES
HELP HIM HUNT DOWN PREY.

BIRDS AND SMALL ANIMALS
ARE A PARTICULAR FAVORITE.

WHEN THE RAINS FLOOD
HIS HUNTING GROUNDS,

THE PYTHON WILL SWITCH
GEARS AND GO AQUATIC.

THIS HIGHLY ADAPTIVE SNAKE
TAKES A DIP IN THE FLOODED

FORESTS.

DESPITE ITS SIZE, THIS
SNAKE IS AN EXCELLENT

SWIMMER.

THE BURMESE PYTHON CAN
STAY SUBMERGED FOR AS LONG

AS A HALF AN HOUR.

IT WILL BRAVE THE WATERS,
LEAVING LAND TO FIND NEW

OPPORTUNITIES.

EVEN HITCHING A
RIDE ON PASSING BOATS.

STOWING AWAY.

THAT PYTHON WILL BE A
SURPRISE WHEN THIS BOATER

GETS BACK HOME.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: JUST ANOTHER
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE TO ROUND

OUT OUR JOURNEY INTO
THIS WATER FILLED COUNTRY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME
ON THIS EPIC JOURNEY TO

CAMBODIA.

THIS REGION OF INDOCHINA
IN SOUTHEAST ASIA THAT'S

HOME TO LOST CIVILIZATIONS
AND ABUNDANT WILDLIFE WHO

THRIVE AMIDST ONE OF THE
WORLD'S WILDEST MONSOON

SEASONS.

I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK AS
WE TRAVEL TO ANOTHER PART

OF THE WORLD ON
EARTH ODYSSEY.
