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

WATCHING TELEVISION THAT'S
EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL.

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: HEY THERE, I'M
DYLAN DREYER, AND THIS IS

STAR, AND THIS IS EARTH
ODYSSEY.

ON TODAY'S EPISODE, WE
MEET THE NEW RULERS OF A

LOST JUNGLE KINGDOM.

THEN, WE HEAD INTO A
SECRET FOREST IN CHINA

WHERE GIANTS ROAM.

AND LATER, CATCH ME IF YOU
CAN, THESE ARE QUITE

POSSIBLY THE SPEEDIEST
CREATURES IN PARADISE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: HERE AT RIPLEY'S
AQUARIUM OF THE SMOKIES,

YOU CAN GET CLOSE ENOUGH
TO THESE PENGUINS TO SEE

THEIR BLACK AND WHITE
COATS.

IF YOU LOOK A LITTLE
CLOSER, YOU MIGHT NOTICE

THAT PENGUINS EACH HAVE
THEIR OWN SPOT PATTERNS AS

UNIQUE AS YOUR OWN
FINGERPRINT.

LIKE THESE PENGUINS,
ANIMALS AROUND THE WORLD

HAVE DEVELOPED SPECIAL
SKILLS TO SURVIVE IN THE

WILD.

WE'RE ABOUT TO MEET A
GROUP OF MONKEYS WHO RELY

ON THE CALL OF THEIR YOUNG
TO STICK TOGETHER WHEN THE

TROOP GETS A LITTLE ROWDY.

TAKE A LOOK.

CAMBODIA, A COUNTRY
FLOODED WITH ANCIENT

RIVERS AND WATERWAYS.

800 YEARS AGO, THE KINGDOM
OF ANGKOR WAS ONE OF THE

GREATEST PREINDUSTRIAL
CITIES IN THE WORLD.

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.

IN CHINA, THERE ARE A
GROUP OF HIGHLY SKILLED

ANIMALS WHO HAVE MASTERED
THE ART OF LIVING ON THE

WATER.

FOR MORE THAN A THOUSAND
YEARS, LOCALS HAVE FISHED

THE LIJIANG RIVER WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF THESE EXPERT

ANGLERS.

CORMORANTS ARE AQUATIC
BIRDS WHO SPECIALIZE IN

CATCHING FISH.

TRAINED BY THEIR HUMAN
COUNTERPARTS FROM SIX

MONTHS OLD, THESE ADULT
BIRDS KNOW THEY HAVE AN

IMPORTANT JOB TO DO.

DIVING BELOW THE SURFACE,
THE CORMORANT PLUCKS

UNSUSPECTING RIVER LIFE
FROM THE SHALLOW WATERS.

A LOOSE TIE AROUND THEIR
NECK PREVENTS THEM FROM

SWALLOWING THE FISH WHOLE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: SLAPPING THE WATER
ENCOURAGES THE BIRDS TO

PERFORM THEIR DUTIES.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: ON A GOOD DAY, A
FISHERMAN, WITH THE HELP

OF HIS AVIAN ASSISTANT,
CAN LURE IN MORE THAN 100

POUNDS OF BOUNTY A DAY.

AND CORMORANTS ARE
ANYTHING BUT BIRD BRAINED.

THEY'RE SAID TO BE ABLE TO
COUNT HOW MANY FISH

THEY'VE PULLED IN.

WHO NEEDS A ROD AND REEL
WHEN YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE

FEATHERED FRIENDS BY YOUR
SIDE?

COMING UP, FIND OUT HOW
THESE LUMBERING GIANTS OF

ASIA STIR THINGS UP WHEN
WE RETURN.

.

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.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: WELCOME BACK.

JUST LIKE HUMANS, ALL
ANIMALS IN THE WILD USE

THEIR WITS TO SURVIVE.

BUT THERE'S ONE CREATURE
WHOSE INTELLIGENCE IS

TRULY LEGENDARY.

THE ELEPHANTS YOU'RE ABOUT
TO MEET HAVE COMPLEX

FAMILY SYSTEMS THAT
ENCOURAGE TIME TOGETHER.

WHETHER THEY'RE FINDING
THEIR NEXT MEAL OR PLAYING

IN THE MUD, LET'S WATCH.

IN THE LOWLAND AREAS OF
SOUTHWEST CHINA, LIVES ONE

OF THE MOST ENDANGERED
CREATURES ON EARTH.

DESPITE THEIR SIZE, THESE
LUMBERING BEASTS HAVE

MANAGED TO EVADE DETECTION
FOR DECADES.

THIS IS THE ASIAN
ELEPHANT.

WHILE THEY TRAVEL IN LARGE
GROUPS, THEY REMAIN ONE OF

CHINA'S GREATEST SECRETS.

GIANT HERDS USED TO BE
COMMON ACROSS CHINA,

ROAMING AS FAR AS BEIJING.

BUT THIS HIDDEN VALLEY IN
YUNNAN IS THE ONLY PLACE

WHERE THEY SURVIVE.

ASIAN ELEPHANTS EAT UP TO
300 POUNDS OF FOOD A DAY,

AND THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THE JUNGLE

ECOSYSTEM.

ELEPHANT DROPPINGS BOTH
FERTILIZE THE SOIL AND

HELP DISPENSE SEEDS OF THE
MANY PLANT SPECIES.

ASIAN ELEPHANTS LIVE IN
SMALL GROUPS CONTAINING

SIX OR SEVEN FEMALES, AS
WELL AS THEIR YOUNG.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THIS TIGHTLY KNIT
FAMILY OF FEMALES REMAINS

TOGETHER FOR LIFE.

ADULT ELEPHANTS DRINK MORE
THAN 25 GALLONS OF WATER A

DAY.

BUT A VISIT TO THIS FOREST
POND SATISFIES ANOTHER

IMPORTANT NEED BESIDES
THIRST.

BLOWING BUBBLES INTO THE
MUCKY POOL RELEASES

MINERALS SUCH AS CALCIUM
AND MAGNESIUM.

SALTS ESSENTIAL FOR THEIR
DIET.

THE GROWNUPS HAVE HAD
THEIR FILL AND ARE READY

TO MOVE ON.

BUT THIS YOUNGSTER DECIDES
THE FUN ISN'T OVER YET.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THIS RIVER IS A
FAVORITE GATHERING POINT

FOR MANY OF THE REGION'S
FAMILIES.

BATHING ISN'T JUST ABOUT
KEEPING COOL, IT'S ALSO A

PLACE FOR THE ELEPHANTS TO
PLAY AND SOCIALIZE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: AFTER A RELAXING
DIP IN THE WATER, THIS

HERD IS OFF TO FIND THEIR
NEXT MEAL.

ALTHOUGH THEIR FAVORITE
FOOD IS BAMBOO AND GRASS,

TREE LEAVES, LIANAS, AND
SAPLINGS WILL DO IN A

PINCH.

AS THESE ANIMALS MAKE
THEIR WAY THROUGH THE

FOREST, THEY CREATE
CLEARINGS THAT ALLOW LIGHT

TO REACH THE FOREST FLOOR,
NURTURING NEW PLANT

GROWTH.

THEY ARE QUITE LITERALLY
THE GARDENERS OF THIS

TROPICAL LANDSCAPE.

OF THE THOUSANDS OF
ELEPHANTS THAT ONCE ROAMED

ACROSS CHINA, FEWER THAN
300 REMAIN.

AND THEY ALL LIVE HERE IN
YUNNAN'S SECRET FORESTS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: ACROSS THE WORLD,
ON THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS,

THERE'S A MUCH SMALLER
CREATURE, WHOSE ABILITY TO

ADAPT TO ITS UNFRIENDLY
SURROUNDINGS IS

OUTSTANDING.

THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO
SUCH HOSTILE CONDITIONS

SECURED A FUTURE FOR THESE
UNIQUE REPTILES FOUND ONLY

ON THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS.

THE ROUGH BLACK ROCKS FROM
THE LAVA COAT THE ISLAND.

JUST A FEW PLANTS AND
ANIMALS COULD EVER

SURVIVE.

WITH LITTLE COMPETITION,
THIS REPTILE STAKES CLAIM.

THE MARINE IGUANA.

IT'S THE ONLY LIZARD IN
THE WORLD THAT PREFERS TO

SPEND MOST OF ITS TIME IN
THE WATER.

THESE LIZARDS ADAPTED TO
THIS BARREN LANDSCAPE.

NOW, THERE ARE MORE THAN
250,000 MARINE IGUANAS ON

THE GALAPAGOS.

THE MARINE IGUANAS ARE
COLD BLOODED REPTILES AND

THE OCEAN IS FREEZING
COLD.

THOSE TWO THINGS DON'T
MIX.

TO GET PREPARED, THESE
CREATURES LIE OUT ON THE

HOT ROCKS FOR ABOUT AN
HOUR TO WARM UP.

WHEN IT'S GO TIME, THE
MARINE IGUANA PLUNGES DEEP

INTO THE SEA.

THIS IGUANA'S TAIL IS FLAT
AND ACTS LIKE A BIG

FLIPPER, PROPELLING HIM AS
DEEP AS 40 FEET DOWN.

THESE MARINE ANIMALS ARE
VEGETARIAN, THEY SEEK OUT

THE RED AND GREEN ALGAE
GROWING ON UNDERWATER

ROCKS.

LONG, FINGERLIKE CLAWS
ALLOW THEM TO GRASP THE

ROCKS, HOLDING TIGHT AS
THEY GRAZE.

A SHORT SNOUT LETS THE
IGUANA GET CLOSE TO THE

LAVA ROCKS, TEARING AT THE
ALGAE.

AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES,
THE ICY WATER MAKES THEIR

MUSCLES SEIZE UP.

IF THE IGUANAS DON'T
SURFACE QUICKLY, THEY

COULD GET STUCK
UNDERWATER.

INSTINCT DRIVES THE
IGUANAS TO RETURN TO THE

ROCKS BEFORE IT'S TOO
LATE.

MARINE IGUANAS END UP
SWALLOWING A GREAT DEAL OF

SALT DURING THESE DIVING
EXPEDITIONS.

SPECIAL GLANDS ABOVE EACH
EYE COLLECT THE SALT.

WHEN THEY'RE READY, THE
IGUANAS JUST SNEEZE OUT

THE EXCESS SALT.

COMING UP, WE HEAD TO THE
CLIFFS OF TURKEY, A

PLAYGROUND FOR SOME OF THE
WORLD'S BEST MOUNTAIN

CLIMBERS.

AND THEN, FIND OUT WHY
THESE ANCIENT NOMADS

RETURN EVERY YEAR TO THIS
MOONLIT BEACH.

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: WELCOME BACK.

ON EVERY EARTH ODYSSEY, WE
FIND A DIVERSE GROUP OF

WILDLIFE, ALL WITH UNIQUE
TRAITS THAT SERVE THEM IN

THE WILD.

WELL, YOU'RE ABOUT TO MEET
ANOTHER ANIMAL WITH A

SPECIAL TALENT FOR
SURVIVING AND THRIVING.

TAKE A LOOK.

MOUNTAINOUS, BEAUTIFUL,
AND BIZARRE IN ITS ROUGH

NATURE.

TURKEY SITS BETWEEN EUROPE
AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

SHAPED BY VOLCANIC
EXPLOSIONS AND A

NEVER-ENDING SUPPLY OF
EARTHQUAKES, THIS IS A

LAND OF EXTREMES.

WATER FALLS OFF THE JAGGED
MOUNTAINS OF TURKEY,

POUNDING INTO THE ROCK.

CREATING SHEER CLIFFS WITH
TREES THAT SHOOT UP OUT OF

NOWHERE.

MAKES LIVING OUT HERE ON
THE EDGE OF THE WORLD SEEM

LIKE A CRAZY CHOICE,
UNLESS YOU'RE ONE OF THE

BEST MOUNTAINEERS IN THE
WORLD.

MEET TURKEY'S ANATOLIAN
WILD GOAT.

IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT TO GO
THROUGH FOR THE FIRST

SPRING SHOOTS OF THE YEAR.

A FALL FROM THESE STEEP
SIDES WOULD MEAN THE END.

SOME AREAS DROPPING
STRAIGHT DOWN 600 FEET.

BUT THE GOATS ARE
FEARLESS.

EVEN THE JUVENILES USE
THIS CLIFFSIDE PLAY AS

THEIR IDEA OF FUN.

THE GOATS HAVE SOME HIGHLY
SPECIALIZED TOOLS FOR THE

JOB, TOO.

THEIR HOOVES BOTH SPREAD
APART IN TWO AND HAVE

LEATHERY SOLES THAT OFFER
BETTER GRIP WHEN THINGS

GET SLIPPERY.

EVEN THEIR EYES HAVE AN
EXTRAORDINARY DESIGN.

RECTANGULAR SHAPED PUPILS
ALLOW THESE GOATS TO SEE

TROUBLE COMING FORM NEARLY
EVERY DIRECTION.

EXCELLENT TOOLS TO FIND A
FOOTHOLD IN THE ROCK OR

SPOT A HUNGRY PREDATOR
LURKING AROUND.

ONE OF THE GOATS SENSES A
PROBLEM NEARBY.

PERHAPS AN EARTHQUAKE?

WORD SPREADS QUICKLY, AND
IN A FLASH, THE GOATS HAVE

LEFT THIS PERCH ON TOP OF
THE WORLD.

FOR NOW.

ON TURKEY'S COAST, THESE
PREHISTORIC CREATURES OF

THE SEA FACE A DIFFERENT
SET OF CHALLENGES.

THOUSANDS OF TURTLES
CHOOSE TURKEY'S WILD

BEACHES FOR THEIR NESTING
SPOTS.

THIS LOGGERHEAD TURTLE
SWIMS OUT OF THE SEA.

SHE STRUGGLES THOSE LAST
FEW YARDS TO FIND A DRY

NESTING SPOT.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: IMPORTANT TO STAY
OUT OF THE REACH OF

INCOMING TIDES, IT'S TIME
TO LAY EGGS.

THESE EGGS HAVE A ONE IN
THREE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

THE CONDITIONS OUT HERE
ARE BRUTAL.

TOO MUCH RAIN AND THEY'LL
DROWN.

TOO MUCH SUN AND THEY'LL
BURN.

PLUS, PLENTY OF PREDATORS
ARE EAGER TO FIND THE

HIDDEN BURIAL SPOT.

THE WILL TO SURVIVE ONLY
GROWS STRONGER IN THIS

MIDDLE EASTERN TERRAIN.

COMING UP ON EARTH
ODYSSEY, WE EXPLORE THE

WILD SIDE OF PARADISE.

THEN WATCH AS ONE OF THE
SMALLEST RESIDENTS OF THE

CARIBBEAN FINDS THEIR
PERFECT FIT.

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: WELCOME BACK TO
EARTH ODYSSEY.

WHEN YOU THINK OF A
TROPICAL PARADISE, IMAGES

OF WHITE SANDY BEACHES AND
PALM TREES SWAYING IN THE

WIND PROBABLY COME TO
MIND.

BUT THERE'S A WILD SIDE TO
THESE ISLANDS, TOO, AND

IT'S FULL OF ANIMALS WHO
MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR

SURROUNDINGS.

TAKE A LOOK.

THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS ARE
SITUATED BETWEEN THE NORTH

AND SOUTH AMERICAN
CONTINENTS.

ON THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD,
THERE'S A PLAYFUL MAMMAL

WHO'S NOT AFRAID TO KNOCK
HARD TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.

MEET THE WHITE-THROATED
CAPUCHIN MONKEY.

THIS CLEVER CREATURE IS
FOUND ON MANY CARIBBEAN

ISLANDS.

HE PREFERS THE DELICIOUS
COCOA RIPE PALM TREES.

BUT GETTING THE DELICATE
FRUIT REQUIRES AND EXTRA

HAND, OR EVEN A TAIL, IF
NEED BE.

IF HE WRAPS HIS TAIL
AROUND A BRANCH TO HOLD

STEADY, HE'S FREE TO EAT
TO HIS HEART'S CONTENT.

THE DEAD BRANCHES OFFER
PLENTY OF INSECTS TO SNACK

ON BETWEEN MEALS.

BUT A REAL FAVORITE FOR
THESE MONKEYS: IT'S A

TREAT FROM THE SEA.

FIRST, THEY NEED TO MAKE
THEIR WAY DOWN FROM THE

TOPS OF THE PALM TREES.

AT LOW TIDE, JUICY, SWEET,
FRESHWATER CONKS APPEAR IN

THE SAND.

THEY LIVE DEEP INSIDE
THEIR SHELLS.

BUT THE MONKEYS WILL NOT
BE DISCOURAGED.

THEY KNOCK THE LARGE, HARD
SHELLS FORCEFULLY AGAINST

THE PALM TREE.

A GOOD WHACK WILL DO THE
TRICK, AND THEN THEY CAN

REALLY GET TO THE MEAT OF
IT.

TRINIDAD'S MONKEYS ARE
LUCKY, THEY ONLY NEED TO

HOP AROUND THE ISLAND TO
FIND ANOTHER MEAL.

DOMINICA IS THE YOUNGEST
ISLAND OF THE CARIBBEAN.

IT'S COVERED WITH LUSH
GREEN FORESTS.

THEIR ABUNDANT FLOWERS
ATTRACT PLENTY OF

WILDLIFE.

ESPECIALLY THESE LITTLE
SPEED EATERS.

HUMMINGBIRDS LOVE THE
CARIBBEAN'S VIBRANT

COLORS.

THEY CAN'T SMELL AT ALL,
SO THEY CHOOSE WHAT THEY

EAT BY WHAT LOOKS THE
TASTIEST.

HUMMINGBIRDS ARE FOUND ALL
OVER THE CARIBBEAN.

THESE BIRDS CAN MOVE
FASTER THAN THE EYE CAN

FOLLOW.

THEIR WINGS BEAT 80 TIMES
EVERY SECOND.

AND, LIKE AN ENGINE, THEIR
HEARTS BEAT 500 TIMES A

MINUTE.

TO KEEP THEIR ENERGY UP,
THEY NEED TO FEED

CONSTANTLY, ALWAYS ON THE
MOVE, THEY'LL EAT ALMOST

THREE TIMES THEIR BODY
WEIGHT EVERYDAY.

THE HUMMINGBIRD'S NEST IS
MADE ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM

SPIDER SILK.

THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S A
FLEXIBLE MATERIAL.

AS THE BABIES GROW, THE
NEST WILL KEEP EXPANDING.

AND THESE CHICKS GROW VERY
QUICKLY WITH ALL OF THE

ATTENTION.

THEY'RE READY TO FLY AWAY
IN TWO WEEKS.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST MOM AND
DAD WHO DO THEIR PART.

EVOLUTION PLAYS A VITAL
ROLL IN THE SURVIVAL OF

THESE FAST FLYERS.

HUMMINGBIRDS AND HELICONIA
PLANTS ARE LIKE TWO PIECES

OF THE SAME JIGSAW PUZZLE.

HELICONIA ARE FOUND ALL
OVER THE CARIBBEAN.

THEY NEED THE HUMMINGBIRDS
TO SPREAD THEIR POLLEN AND

FERTILIZE NEW PLANTS.

HUMMINGBIRDS DEPEND ON THE
HELICONIA'S NECTAR AND

VISITING INSECTS FOR
PROTEIN.

TO MAKE SURE THERE'S
ENOUGH TO GO AROUND,

HUMMINGBIRDS HAVE VERY
DIFFERENT SIZED BEAKS.

EACH BEAK HAS A HELICONIA
PARTNER.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
FIGURING OUT WHICH PLANT

VARIETY OFFERS THE PERFECT
FIT FOR EACH HUMMINGBIRD.

THAT WAY, THE HUMMINGBIRDS
DON'T NEED TO FIGHT OVER

THE SAME PLANT.

IT'S A MATCH MADE IN
PARADISE ON THESE

CARIBBEAN ISLANDS.

THANKS FOR JOINING ME ON
THE BEST OF EARTH ODYSSEY.

IT'S REALLY AMAZING TO SEE
HOW ANIMALS AND PLANTS

HAVE LEARNED TO ADAPT NO
MATTER HOW CHALLENGING

THEIR ENVIRONMENTS.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR ANOTHER ADVENTURE ON

EARTH ODYSSEY.

[MUSIC]
