00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:30,230
MANGROVE FOREST THAT IS
15
00:00:30,263 --> 00:00:31,565
HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST
16
00:00:31,566 --> 00:00:32,866
ADAPTED ANIMALS IN THE

SKIES WITH THESE LUMINOUS
20
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:42,475
AND FASCINATING FIREFLIES.

[MUSIC]
22
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:04,531
- DYLAN: THE PHILIPPINES IS
- ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST
23
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:06,659
ISLAND CHAINS.
24
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:08,868
- ITS RICH SOIL AND WATER AS
- WELL AS ITS WARM CLIMATE
25
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,287
MAKE IT A PERFECT
26
00:01:10,288 --> 00:01:11,671
ECOSYSTEM FOR ANIMALS TO
27
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:13,540
THRIVE, BUT IT'S NOT JUST
28
00:01:13,541 --> 00:01:15,375
ANIMALS WHO FLOURISH HERE.
29
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:16,826
HUMAN CIVILIZATIONS HAVE
30
00:01:16,827 --> 00:01:18,244
MADE THE PHILIPPINES THEIR
31
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:20,044
HOME SINCE THEY FIRST
32
00:01:20,045 --> 00:01:21,809
ARRIVED TENS OF THOUSANDS
33
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:23,325
OF YEARS AGO, AND AS
34
00:01:23,326 --> 00:01:24,839
YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE, MANY
35
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,297
OF THEM ADHERE TO THE SAME
36
00:01:26,298 --> 00:01:27,754
TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS AS
37
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:29,255
THEIR ANCIENT ANCESTORS.
38
00:01:29,289 --> 00:01:32,919
TAKE A LOOK.
39
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,594
- THE PHILIPPINES ARE A
- CHAIN OF TROPICAL ISLANDS
40
00:01:34,627 --> 00:01:36,596
- IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC
- OCEAN.
41
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:37,797
THEY'RE AMONG THE MOST
42
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:38,965
SPECTACULAR ISLANDS ON
43
00:01:38,998 --> 00:01:40,800
EARTH, AND THEY'RE HOME TO
44
00:01:40,801 --> 00:01:42,602
SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST
45
00:01:42,635 --> 00:01:44,971
EXOTIC WILDLIFE.
46
00:01:45,167 --> 00:01:46,871
THESE ISLANDS ARE FORMED
47
00:01:46,872 --> 00:01:48,575
BY THE SOUTH CHINA SEA,
48
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:50,010
BUT IT DOESN'T JUST SHAPE
49
00:01:50,011 --> 00:01:51,411
THE ISLAND'S COASTLINE.
50
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,830
IT HELPS FORM ONE OF ITS
51
00:01:53,831 --> 00:01:56,216
MOST COMPLEX ECOSYSTEMS,
52
00:01:56,249 --> 00:02:00,186
MANGROVE FORESTS.
53
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:01,555
WHERE SALT WATER MEETS
54
00:02:01,556 --> 00:02:02,889
FRESH WATER, IT CREATES A
55
00:02:02,922 --> 00:02:05,291
UNIQUE AND UNFORGIVING
56
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:07,660
ENVIRONMENT.
57
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:09,629
THE MUD IS OVERWHELMING.
58
00:02:09,662 --> 00:02:11,881
THE SALT LEVELS WOULD KILL
59
00:02:11,882 --> 00:02:14,100
MOST PLANTS IN HOURS, BUT
60
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,403
REMARKABLY, SOME
61
00:02:16,404 --> 00:02:18,672
VEGETATION FLOURISHES.
62
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:20,907
- MANGROVES ARE HOME TO SOME
- OF THE MOST RESILIENT
63
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:24,477
PLANTS IN THE WORLD.
64
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:26,680
SPECIAL ADAPTATIONS HELP
65
00:02:26,681 --> 00:02:28,848
THEM SURVIVE.
66
00:02:28,882 --> 00:02:30,417
A LACK OF OXYGEN IS ONE OF
67
00:02:30,418 --> 00:02:31,951
THEIR GREATEST CHALLENGES.
68
00:02:34,521 --> 00:02:36,006
THE EARTH IS SATURATED
69
00:02:36,007 --> 00:02:37,490
WITH SALT AND BACTERIA,
70
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:39,626
- AND IT'S DIFFICULT FOR
- PLANTS TO BREATHE THROUGH
71
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,495
THE SOIL NORMALLY.
72
00:02:42,529 --> 00:02:43,997
SO MANGROVE ROOTS RISE
73
00:02:43,998 --> 00:02:45,465
ABOVE THE GROUND AND TAKE
74
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,033
OXYGEN DIRECTLY FROM THE
75
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:48,568
AIR INSTEAD.
76
00:02:58,445 --> 00:02:59,830
OVER TIME, RAISED ROOTS
77
00:02:59,831 --> 00:03:01,214
SLOW THE TIDE, ALLOWING
78
00:03:01,247 --> 00:03:02,782
SEDIMENT TO SETTLE AND NEW
79
00:03:02,783 --> 00:03:04,317
LAND TO FORM.
80
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:09,222
THIS CREATES A HOME FOR A
81
00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:11,491
WEALTH OF CREATURES AND A
82
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:14,661
HUNTING GROUND FOR HUMANS.
83
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:15,912
THERE ARE MANY EXOTIC
84
00:03:15,913 --> 00:03:17,130
FOODS IN PALAWAN, BUT ONE
85
00:03:17,163 --> 00:03:19,199
FOUND IN THE MANGROVES IS
86
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,234
A PARTICULAR FAVORITE, A
87
00:03:21,267 --> 00:03:23,303
GIANT WORM-LIKE CREATURE
88
00:03:23,304 --> 00:03:25,338
CALLED TAMILOK.
89
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:26,807
THEY LIVE INSIDE DEAD
90
00:03:26,808 --> 00:03:28,241
MANGROVE ROOTS.
91
00:03:28,274 --> 00:03:30,477
- FINDING WHICH ONES THEY'RE
- HIDING IN TAKES A LOT OF
92
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:34,414
TIME AND PATIENCE.
93
00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:37,149
BOREHOLES ARE A SIGN THAT
94
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:39,118
THEIR QUARRY IS GONE.
95
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:40,537
TAMILOK ARE ALSO KNOWN AS
96
00:03:40,538 --> 00:03:41,955
SHIPWORMS.
97
00:03:41,988 --> 00:03:43,306
THEY PLAGUED SEAFARERS FOR
98
00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:44,624
CENTURIES AND CAUSED
99
00:03:44,657 --> 00:03:46,192
THOUSANDS OF SHIPS TO
100
00:03:46,193 --> 00:03:47,727
SINK.
101
00:03:50,463 --> 00:03:52,832
- TRYING TO FIND ONE AMONG
- THE MAZE OF ROOTS AND MUD
102
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:56,269
CAN BE EXHAUSTING WORK.
103
00:03:56,302 --> 00:03:57,837
IT'S LIKE LOOKING FOR A
104
00:03:57,838 --> 00:03:59,372
NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.
105
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:08,985
ONE BLOW SPLITS A ROTTING
106
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,500
ROOT RELATIVELY EASILY.
107
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:25,215
AND THIS TIME, THE HUNTERS
108
00:04:25,216 --> 00:04:26,966
HAVE STRUCK LUCKY.
109
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:28,803
DESPITE APPEARANCES,
110
00:04:28,804 --> 00:04:29,936
TAMILOK ISN'T A WORM.
111
00:04:29,969 --> 00:04:31,850
IT'S AN ELONGATED CLAM
112
00:04:31,851 --> 00:04:33,730
WITH A TINY SHELL.
113
00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:41,247
- LOCAL RESTAURANTS
- SOMETIMES SERVE TAMILOK
114
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:42,582
WITH A SPECIAL MARINADE,
115
00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:43,883
BUT SOME PEOPLE SAY
116
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:45,452
THEY'RE BEST EATEN
117
00:04:45,453 --> 00:04:46,986
STRAIGHT FROM THE ROOT.
118
00:04:49,789 --> 00:04:52,225
ONE TAMILOK DOWN, THE
119
00:04:52,226 --> 00:04:54,661
SEARCH GOES ON, BUT THE
120
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:55,962
MANGROVES DON'T JUST
121
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:57,230
PROVIDE AN UNUSUAL SOURCE
122
00:04:57,263 --> 00:05:00,333
OF FOOD FOR PEOPLE.
123
00:05:00,367 --> 00:05:01,785
COMING UP, SURF AND TURF
124
00:05:01,786 --> 00:05:03,203
IS ALWAYS ON THE MENU FOR
125
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,771

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

DYLAN: AROUND 340 MILES
130
00:05:32,467 --> 00:05:34,434
DUE EAST OF PALAWAN ON THE
131
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:36,002
ISLAND OF BOHOL, MANGROVES
132
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:37,537
HAVE BECOME A FAVORITE
133
00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:39,089
PLACE TO FIND FOOD FOR
134
00:05:39,090 --> 00:05:40,607
SOME OF OUR CLOSEST LIVING
135
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,209
RELATIVES.
136
00:05:43,243 --> 00:05:44,778
A TROOP OF LONG-TAILED
137
00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:46,312
MACAQUES ARE ON THE MOVE.
138
00:05:55,789 --> 00:05:57,590
- THEY'VE LEFT THEIR HOMES
- IN THE FOREST AND ENTERED
139
00:05:57,624 --> 00:05:59,159
THE MANGROVES TO SATISFY
140
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,694
THEIR UNUSUAL APPETITES.
141
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:06,933
- FOR ANIMALS USED TO LIFE
- IN THE TREES, THE MANGROVE
142
00:06:07,330 --> 00:06:11,738
IS A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
143
00:06:11,771 --> 00:06:13,523
BUT THEY NEED TO TREAD
144
00:06:13,524 --> 00:06:15,275
CAREFULLY.
145
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:17,510
- JAGGED ROOTS JUT FROM THE
- GROUND LIKE A BED OF
146
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:22,215
NAILS.
147
00:06:22,248 --> 00:06:23,783
ONE WRONG MOVE COULD
148
00:06:23,784 --> 00:06:25,318
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
149
00:06:27,954 --> 00:06:30,123
- HUMAN-LIKE HANDS
- SKILLFULLY RUMMAGE THROUGH
150
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:32,258
THE MUD.
151
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:33,827
FALLEN FRUITS ARE BURIED
152
00:06:33,828 --> 00:06:35,362
BENEATH THE SLUDGE.
153
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,440
A QUICK CLEAN, AND THEY
154
00:06:46,441 --> 00:06:48,475
MAKE A TASTY SNACK, BUT
155
00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:50,961
FRUIT IS NOT THE MAIN
156
00:06:50,962 --> 00:06:53,413
ATTRACTION.
157
00:06:53,446 --> 00:06:55,048
THE MACAQUES IN BOHOL
158
00:06:55,049 --> 00:06:56,649
VISIT THE MANGROVE TO FIND
159
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:58,051
ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE
160
00:06:58,052 --> 00:06:59,419
FOODS, AND IT'S A VERY
161
00:06:59,452 --> 00:07:04,123
UNLIKELY ONE...
162
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:06,192
...CRAB.
163
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,702
ONCE CAUGHT, CRABS NEED TO
164
00:07:15,703 --> 00:07:17,237
BE HANDLED WITH CARE.
165
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,676
- AND IT PAYS TO FIND A SAFE
- PLACE TO EAT AWAY FROM THE
166
00:07:22,709 --> 00:07:24,778
REST OF THE TROOP.
167
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:31,468
NIMBLE FINGERS MAKE LIGHT
168
00:07:31,469 --> 00:07:32,786
WORK OF THE SHELL.
169
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:34,354
CRAB MEAT IS FULL OF
170
00:07:34,355 --> 00:07:35,889
PROTEIN.
171
00:07:41,528 --> 00:07:43,063
A WIDE-EYED YOUNGSTER
172
00:07:43,064 --> 00:07:44,597
WATCHES FROM ABOVE.
173
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,708
- IT SEEMS CONFIDENT ENOUGH
- TO TRY AND CATCH A CRAB
174
00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:56,810
ITSELF.
175
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,684
BUT IT SOON FINDS OUT IT'S
176
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,219
NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS.
177
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:16,930
SOME FOOD BITES BACK.
178
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:26,740
OTHERS HAVE HAD MORE LUCK.
179
00:08:30,430 --> 00:08:32,110
THE YOUNGSTER RETREATS
180
00:08:32,111 --> 00:08:33,790
AFTER A PAINFUL LESSON.
181
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:38,235
MACAQUES ARE ABLE TO
182
00:08:38,236 --> 00:08:39,519

EVERYWHERE FROM TROPICAL
186
00:08:44,425 --> 00:08:46,726
ISLANDS TO FROZEN FORESTS.
187
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,190
NEXT TO HUMANS, THEY ARE
188
00:08:48,191 --> 00:08:49,620
THE MOST ABUNDANT PRIMATES
189
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:53,366
IN THE WORLD.
190
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,935
AFTER THE FEAST IS OVER,
191
00:08:54,936 --> 00:08:56,469
IT'S TIME TO RELAX.
192
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:02,592
IN MACAQUE SOCIETY, THERE
193
00:09:02,593 --> 00:09:04,377
IS A CLEAR HIERARCHY.
194
00:09:04,411 --> 00:09:06,579
- GROOMING NOT ONLY REMOVES
- PARASITES, IT ALSO
195
00:09:06,613 --> 00:09:08,615
REAFFIRMS RELATIONSHIPS.
196
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:13,720
FRESHLY FED AND GROOMED,
197
00:09:13,721 --> 00:09:15,555
IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON, AND
198
00:09:15,588 --> 00:09:17,390
- THAT TAKES THEM BACK INTO
- ONE OF THE MOST
199
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:19,893
EXTRAORDINARY PLACES IN
200
00:09:19,894 --> 00:09:22,362
THE PHILIPPINES.
201
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:23,580
COMING UP ON "EARTH
202
00:09:23,581 --> 00:09:24,764
ODYSSEY", WE EXPLORE THE
203
00:09:24,798 --> 00:09:26,800
DOUBLE LIFE OF A TREE
204
00:09:26,801 --> 00:09:28,802
NYMPH CATERPILLAR.
205
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:30,937
- PLUS, WE EXPLORE THE FATE
- OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S
206
00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:33,390
SMALLEST PRIMATES.
207
00:09:45,118 --> 00:09:45,251
.
208
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,063
NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
209
00:09:47,064 --> 00:09:48,540
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC
210
00:10:00,330 --> 00:10:01,167
DYLAN: WELCOME BACK.
211
00:10:01,201 --> 00:10:03,303
- THE PHILIPPINES HAS ONE OF
- THE WORLD'S RICHEST
212
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:04,754
CLIMATES TO SUPPORT
213
00:10:04,755 --> 00:10:06,172
MAMMALS, REPTILES, BIRDS,
214
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:07,407
AND PLANTS.
215
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,642
ITS WARM WEATHER HARDLY
216
00:10:08,643 --> 00:10:09,843
CHANGES FROM SEASON TO
217
00:10:09,876 --> 00:10:11,528
SEASON, ALLOWING FOR ITS
218
00:10:11,529 --> 00:10:13,179
INHABITANTS TO SURVIVE AND
219
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:14,514
THRIVE THROUGHOUT THE
220
00:10:14,515 --> 00:10:15,815
YEAR, BUT THERE'S ONE
221
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:17,417
CREATURE THAT CHANGES
222
00:10:17,418 --> 00:10:18,985
DRASTICALLY BECAUSE OF THE
223
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:20,587
CONSISTENT CLIMATE.
224
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,090
LET'S MIGRATE BACK TO THE
225
00:10:22,091 --> 00:10:23,560
FOREST WHERE WE DISCOVER
226
00:10:23,890 --> 00:10:25,025
THE NEW LIFE OF THIS
227
00:10:25,026 --> 00:10:26,159
CRAFTY CATERPILLAR.
228
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,764
- THE PHILIPPINES ARE HOME
- TO ALL SORTS OF STRANGE
229
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,549
SPECIES, LIKE AN INSECT
230
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:34,300
WITH AN APPETITE FOR
231
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:36,536
POISON.
232
00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:38,485
A TREE NYMPH CATERPILLAR
233
00:10:38,486 --> 00:10:40,400
CLIMBS ITS FAVORITE PLANT,
234
00:10:40,730 --> 00:10:43,610
A DOGBANE.
235
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:44,882
TO TRY AND STOP INSECTS
236
00:10:44,883 --> 00:10:46,120
EATING THEM, DOGBANES
237
00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:47,921
FLUSH THEIR LEAVES WITH
238
00:10:47,922 --> 00:10:49,382
TOXINS, BUT IT'S A TACTIC
239
00:10:49,416 --> 00:10:51,484
WHICH DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.
240
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:57,641
POISON MAKES THE PLANTS
241
00:10:57,642 --> 00:10:58,892
MORE DESIRABLE TO THE TREE
242
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:00,427
NYMPH CATERPILLAR, NOT
243
00:11:00,428 --> 00:11:01,928
LESS.
244
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:06,900
IT CAREFULLY SEVERS THE
245
00:11:06,901 --> 00:11:08,468
STEM CARRYING THE TOXINS
246
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,611
SO IT CONSUMES ONLY A
247
00:11:10,612 --> 00:11:12,719
NON-LETHAL DOSE AS IT EATS
248
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,140
THE LEAF.
249
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:21,548
- THE CATERPILLAR CUNNINGLY
- ADOPTS THE PLANT'S
250
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:23,717
SELF-DEFENSE TACTIC.
251
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:25,018
IT NOW CARRIES THE TOXINS,
252
00:11:25,019 --> 00:11:26,286
WHICH SHOULD DETER
253
00:11:26,319 --> 00:11:30,899
PREDATORS.
254
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:32,359
- AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THE
- CATERPILLAR DOUBLES IN
255
00:11:32,392 --> 00:11:37,230
SIZE.
256
00:11:37,263 --> 00:11:38,898
IT WEAVES A SILK PAD ON A
257
00:11:38,899 --> 00:11:40,533
LEAF AND SUSPENDS ITSELF
258
00:11:40,567 --> 00:11:42,636
USING BARBED HOOKS ON ITS
259
00:11:42,637 --> 00:11:44,704
REAR.
260
00:11:44,738 --> 00:11:47,040
WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS A
261
00:11:47,041 --> 00:11:49,342
BIOLOGICAL MIRACLE.
262
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:50,661
ENZYMES DIGEST THE
263
00:11:50,662 --> 00:11:51,945
CATERPILLAR'S TISSUE,
264
00:11:51,978 --> 00:11:53,547
EFFECTIVELY LIQUIDIZING
265
00:11:53,548 --> 00:11:55,115
ITS INSIDES.
266
00:11:57,751 --> 00:11:59,069
THE CATERPILLAR SLOWLY
267
00:11:59,070 --> 00:12:00,387
SHEDS ITS SKIN TO REVEAL A
268
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,489
GOLDEN CHRYSALIS.
269
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:08,828
AT FIRST, THE CHRYSALIS IS
270
00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:10,363
SOFT AND SKIN-LIKE.
271
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:14,868
BUT IT QUICKLY TOUGHENS TO
272
00:12:14,869 --> 00:12:16,403
FORM A PROTECTIVE COCOON.
273
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:20,473
IN THE SAFETY OF ITS
274
00:12:20,474 --> 00:12:21,739
HARDENED HOME, IT WAITS
275
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:22,942
FOR CELLS IN ITS LIQUID
276
00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:24,144
CENTER TO SLOWLY CHANGE.
277
00:12:29,449 --> 00:12:32,118
TWO WEEKS PASS.
278
00:12:32,152 --> 00:12:34,521
- THE CATERPILLAR IS NOW
- READY FOR THE FINAL STAGE
279
00:12:34,554 --> 00:12:36,089
OF A MIRACULOUS
280
00:12:36,090 --> 00:12:37,624
TRANSFORMATION.
281
00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:44,130
- ONE OF THE PHILIPPINES'
- MOST SPECTACULAR
282
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:45,666
BUTTERFLIES, THE TREE
283
00:12:45,667 --> 00:12:47,167
NYMPH SLOWLY ENTERS THE
284
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,269
WORLD.
285
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,511
- FREE OF ITS CRAMPED
- COCOON, IT GENTLY PUFFS UP
286
00:12:58,545 --> 00:13:03,350
ITS PAPERY WINGS.
287
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:04,518
ITS FRAGILE BODY SLOWLY
288
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:05,652
DRIES IN THE WARM
289
00:13:05,685 --> 00:13:07,754
SUNSHINE.
290
00:13:17,831 --> 00:13:19,366
FINALLY, IT'S TIME FOR ITS
291
00:13:19,367 --> 00:13:20,900
FIRST FLIGHT.
292
00:13:25,505 --> 00:13:27,040
BUT FREEDOM IS
293
00:13:27,041 --> 00:13:28,575
SHORT-LIVED.
294
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,214
AN ORB WEAVER SPIDER
295
00:13:34,215 --> 00:13:35,749
STRIKES.
296
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:39,586
ITS WEB IS MORE THAN THREE
297
00:13:39,587 --> 00:13:40,987
FEET WIDE AND ALMOST
298
00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:43,890
INVISIBLE.
299
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:48,595
THE OUTCOME SEEMS
300
00:13:48,596 --> 00:13:50,697
INEVITABLE, BUT ALL IS NOT
301
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:53,500
WHAT IT SEEMS.
302
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:55,368
- SOMETHING ABOUT THE
- BUTTERFLY DOESN'T TASTE
303
00:13:55,402 --> 00:13:57,470
QUITE RIGHT.
304
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:06,107
ONE LAST LOOK, AND THE
305
00:14:06,108 --> 00:14:07,469
SPIDER CUTS ITS CAPTIVE
306
00:14:07,470 --> 00:14:10,517
FREE.
307
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:11,635
THE TOXINS FROM THE
308
00:14:11,636 --> 00:14:12,719
DOGBANE PLANT THE
309
00:14:12,752 --> 00:14:14,020
BUTTERFLY ATE WHEN IT WAS
310
00:14:14,021 --> 00:14:15,288
A CATERPILLAR HAVE SAVED
311
00:14:15,321 --> 00:14:18,579
ITS LIFE.
312
00:14:18,580 --> 00:14:20,260
IT'S COMPLETELY
313
00:14:20,261 --> 00:14:21,940
UNPALATABLE TO THE SPIDER.
314
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:27,267
- THIS INGENIOUS TRICK HAS
- EARNED THE TREE NYMPH
315
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,835
ANOTHER NAME, THE LUCKY
316
00:14:28,836 --> 00:14:30,370
BUTTERFLY.
317
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:35,350
THE ORB WEAVER IS LEFT
318
00:14:35,351 --> 00:14:36,760
WAITING FOR A MORE
319
00:14:36,761 --> 00:14:39,212
APPETIZING CATCH.
320
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:40,313
COMING UP, WHAT GIVES
321
00:14:40,314 --> 00:14:41,381
THESE FIREFLIES THEIR
322
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:43,016
BEAUTIFUL GLOW, AND HOW DO
323
00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:44,617
THE NUMBER OF SPECIES IN
324
00:14:44,651 --> 00:14:46,186
THE PHILIPPINES CONTINUE
325
00:14:46,187 --> 00:14:47,721
TO GROW?
326
00:14:56,497 --> 00:14:57,396
.
327
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,866
- NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
- MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC
328
00:15:12,445 --> 00:15:14,314
- DYLAN: WE'RE BACK IN THE
- FASCINATING ISLAND CHAIN
329
00:15:14,347 --> 00:15:16,416
OF THE PHILIPPINES.
330
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:20,971
THESE SMALL INSECTS LOOK
331
00:15:20,972 --> 00:15:22,422
FAIRLY UNREMARKABLE DURING
332
00:15:22,455 --> 00:15:23,857
THE DAY, BUT AS THE SUN
333
00:15:23,858 --> 00:15:25,258
SETS, THEY SHOW A VERY
334
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:28,261
DIFFERENT SIDE.
335
00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:29,829
DARKNESS DESCENDS, AND
336
00:15:29,830 --> 00:15:31,364
GHOSTLY LIGHTS FLASH.
337
00:15:36,903 --> 00:15:38,605
THE INSECTS ARE FIREFLIES,
338
00:15:38,606 --> 00:15:40,306
AND NIGHTTIME IS WHEN THEY
339
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:42,409
SHINE.
340
00:15:51,551 --> 00:15:52,853
THE LIGHTS ARE A COURTSHIP
341
00:15:52,854 --> 00:15:54,154
DISPLAY, A SIGN MALES WANT
342
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:56,889
TO MATE.
343
00:15:56,890 --> 00:15:58,391
- FLASHES ARE CAUSED BY A
- CHEMICAL REACTION INSIDE
344
00:15:58,425 --> 00:16:00,493
THE FLY'S BODY.
345
00:16:08,335 --> 00:16:09,419
IT'S THOUGHT THAT BY
346
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:10,503
DISPLAYING AT THE SAME
347
00:16:10,537 --> 00:16:12,806
- TIME, MALES HAVE A GREATER
- CHANCE OF ATTRACTING A
348
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:14,808
FEMALE.
349
00:16:14,841 --> 00:16:16,943
- THEIR MASS EFFECT RIVALS
- THE BRIGHTEST STARS IN THE
350
00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:19,450
NIGHTTIME SKY.
351
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,718
THE SHIMMERING DISPLAY
352
00:16:24,719 --> 00:16:26,252
SLOWLY DRAWS TO A CLOSE.
353
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:31,791
- NOW IS THE TIME WHEN THE
- PHILIPPINES' MOST
354
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:33,226
CELEBRATED AND SECRETIVE
355
00:16:33,227 --> 00:16:34,627
PREDATOR COMES OUT OF
356
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,730
HIDING...
357
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,403
...THE PHILIPPINE TARSIER.
358
00:16:46,606 --> 00:16:49,059
IT'S SO TINY, IT WOULD FIT
359
00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:51,511
INSIDE A HUMAN HAND, AND
360
00:16:51,544 --> 00:16:53,546
IT ONLY STIRS AFTER DARK.
361
00:16:56,983 --> 00:16:58,885
THE TARSIER IS ONE OF THE
362
00:16:58,886 --> 00:17:00,787
WORLD'S SMALLEST PRIMATES,
363
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:02,205
BUT IT HAS THE BIGGEST
364
00:17:02,206 --> 00:17:03,590
EYES RELATIVE TO BODY SIZE
365
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:06,192
OF ANY MAMMAL.
366
00:17:06,226 --> 00:17:07,961
UNSURPRISINGLY, IT HAS
367
00:17:07,962 --> 00:17:09,696
SUPERB SIGHT.
368
00:17:09,729 --> 00:17:11,047
A CRICKET IS
369
00:17:11,048 --> 00:17:12,365
WELL-CAMOUFLAGED, BUT NOT
370
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:17,369
WELL ENOUGH.
371
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:19,050
THE TARSIER'S HEARING IS
372
00:17:19,051 --> 00:17:20,730
SUPERB, TOO.
373
00:17:27,113 --> 00:17:28,648
IT PINPOINTS THE CRICKET'S
374
00:17:28,649 --> 00:17:30,183
POSITION...
375
00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:39,859
...AND STRIKES.
376
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:42,128
- THE CRICKET DOESN'T SENSE
- DANGER UNTIL IT'S TOO
377
00:17:42,162 --> 00:17:44,230
LATE.
378
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,368
THE NAME TARSIER COMES
379
00:17:48,369 --> 00:17:49,536
FROM ITS UNUSUALLY LONG
380
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,404
TARSUS, OR ANKLE BONES,
381
00:17:51,405 --> 00:17:53,239
WHICH WORK LIKE SHOCK
382
00:17:53,273 --> 00:17:56,910
ABSORBERS.
383
00:17:56,943 --> 00:17:58,537
THEY HELP IT TO JUMP
384
00:17:58,538 --> 00:18:00,130
QUICKLY AND LAND QUIETLY.
385
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:07,787
- AS IT HOLDS THE CRICKET,
- IT'S CLEAR HOW TINY THE
386
00:18:07,821 --> 00:18:09,889
TARSIER IS AND HOW HUNGRY.
387
00:18:17,664 --> 00:18:19,132
SPECIAL ADHESIVE DISCS ON
388
00:18:19,133 --> 00:18:20,600
ITS FEET HELP IT STICK TO
389
00:18:20,633 --> 00:18:22,168
BRANCHES WHILE IT EATS AND
390
00:18:22,169 --> 00:18:23,703
KEEPS WATCH.
391
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:28,125
ITS EYES ARE BIGGER THAN
392
00:18:28,126 --> 00:18:30,377
ITS BRAIN AND ITS STOMACH.
393
00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:31,928
THEY'RE FIXED IN ITS SKULL
394
00:18:31,929 --> 00:18:33,446
AND CAN'T MOVE, BUT IT CAN
395
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,015
SPIN ITS HEAD THROUGH 180
396
00:18:35,016 --> 00:18:36,549
DEGREES LIKE AN OWL, AND
397
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,121
- THAT HELPS IT SPOT MANY
- MORE FEEDING
398
00:18:41,154 --> 00:18:45,425
OPPORTUNITIES.
399
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,034
A CRICKET PROVIDES A BIG
400
00:18:47,035 --> 00:18:48,609
MEAL, BUT IT'S MERELY AN
401
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:50,960
APPETIZER.
402
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:55,402
- THE TARSIER LAUNCHES A
- FEEDING FRENZY TO RIVAL
403
00:18:55,435 --> 00:18:56,970
THE MOST FEROCIOUS
404
00:18:56,971 --> 00:18:58,505
PREDATOR.
405
00:19:09,115 --> 00:19:11,451
- ONE OF THE ISLAND'S
- TINIEST PREDATORS IS AMONG
406
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,453
ITS DEADLIEST.
407
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,021
A LONG NIGHT'S HUNTING HAS
408
00:19:15,022 --> 00:19:16,556
ONLY JUST BEGUN.
409
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,940

411
00:19:23,531 --> 00:19:25,932
OF THE MOST UNUSUAL.
412
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,867
- MANY OF THESE ANCIENT
- ISLANDS ARE ISOLATED AND
413
00:19:27,901 --> 00:19:29,836
UNDISTURBED.
414
00:19:29,869 --> 00:19:31,171
AS A RESULT, UNIQUE
415
00:19:31,172 --> 00:19:32,472
SPECIES HAVE FLOURISHED
416
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,441
UNINTERRUPTED BY THE
