0:03everyone loves a cheeky monkey
0:06playful social and intelligent
0:09primates are fun and fascinating to
0:11watch
0:14but there is a greater draw perhaps
0:16because they bring out the inner primate
0:18in us
0:19[Music]
0:21[Applause]
0:26through africa south america
0:30and asia our wild cousins are far more
0:33diverse than you might think
0:35ever adaptable masters of survival
0:39we enjoy watching their lives but in
0:41doing so
0:42we might learn a little bit about
0:45[Music]
0:56ourselves
1:11deep in the heart of africa lives a
1:13close-knit family
1:15and today is special
1:18[Music]
1:20a new member joins the eastern lowland
1:23gorilla clan
1:28[Music]
1:31like a human baby the tiny primate
1:34curiously reaches out
1:36exploring with its hands
1:40totally dependent on his mother's care
1:43[Music]
1:48proud family members gather all eager to
1:51get a glimpse of their new siblings
1:57in their society as in ours babies have
2:00great appeal
2:02they all want to greet the new arrival
2:06everyone seems deep in thought
2:10[Music]
2:14their faces are almost a reflection of
2:15our own
2:17[Music]
2:20though the troop leader the silverback
2:22male seems agitated
2:26it's his job to protect the family and
2:28they are never more vulnerable
2:30than with a child
2:33the leopard a deadly jungle hunter
2:53huge and powerful gorillas are almost
2:56impervious to predation
2:58unless they are very young
3:05the leopard is a master of stealth
3:11but the silverback spots its track
3:22the display threat he advertises his
3:25immense strength
3:26a warning to intimidate any foe
3:30and it works in this way the gentle
3:34giants can avoid direct conflict most of
3:36the time
3:40the biggest of primates he stands as
3:43tall as a man
3:44and weighs more than 150 kilograms
3:47he's truly the king of the jungle
3:56under his watchful eye the family can
3:59relax
4:05it's tiring being the center of
4:06attention
4:10the gorilla's kingdom is the dense dark
4:13tangle of rainforest
4:14that stretches across much of central
4:16africa
4:20this is where our first primate
4:21ancestors evolved
4:23and it remains a monkey mecca to this
4:26day
4:28the canopy is alive with their calls and
4:30the patter of their distinctly primate
4:32pores
4:35more than 20 species of monkey share the
4:38gorilla's homeland
4:41because there are so many living in the
4:42same area each sports its own unique
4:45markings
4:46making it easier to recognize their own
4:48kind
4:48[Music]
4:52the bold black and white of the columbus
4:54contrasts with the earthy
4:56browns of agile mangabees
4:58[Music]
5:00the moustached monkey and the most
5:02spectacular
5:08mandrel
5:10smaller cousins the drills are not as
5:12dramatic
5:14but still watched over by one huge
5:16dominant male
5:17[Music]
5:17[Applause]
5:20genetics suggest primates appeared just
5:22before the demise of the dinosaurs
5:25around 85 million years ago
5:27[Music]
5:31though the oldest fossil from northern
5:33africa is only 55 million years old
5:38from here they spread around the world
5:44no one is too sure how primates reached
5:47south america
5:48during a time of shift incontinence they
5:51somehow made it from africa to south
5:53america
5:54and here they thrived and diverged
5:58there are now around 160 species
6:01again all recognized by an extraordinary
6:04array of colorful design
6:07[Music]
6:10known as the new world monkeys all have
6:12unique nostrils
6:13that open to the sides instead of
6:15straight down like everywhere else
6:21the tiny species like cotton top
6:23tamarins
6:24give an idea of what our earliest
6:25ancestors might have looked like
6:30their bird-like chirps allow the group
6:32to stay in contact
6:33so that no one gets lost in dense jungle
6:38having good communication and friends to
6:41watch your back is very useful
6:43there are many dangers in the rainforest
6:51when it comes to voices there is one
6:53clear champ
6:55red howler monkeys use their vocal gifts
6:58to proclaim their territory
7:00and keep their clan together
7:12[Applause]
7:17the new world monkeys made the most of
7:19their vast new home
7:21but primates from africa also spread
7:23throughout europe and asia
7:33one of the weirdest of our distant
7:34cousins still lives in the lush
7:36vegetation of borneo
7:43this rainforest is home to a very
7:45unusual and distinctive looking primate
7:48found here and nowhere else
7:53[Music]
7:55the honking hooter is a male proboscis
7:57monkey
7:59his gruff calls unite and reassure his
8:02group
8:03[Music]
8:04his harim of half a dozen females and
8:07their young
8:07always stay close in the canopy
8:12to enhance the leader's calls he has the
8:14biggest nose
8:16[Music]
8:19one of his females has an infant just a
8:22few weeks old
8:24she's dependent on the bigger male to
8:26keep her safe
8:27though he spends most of his time
8:29munching leaves
8:34they are not the only primates enjoying
8:36the canopy
8:37the long-tailed or crab-eating macaques
8:40have a broader diet
8:41than the proboscis and aren't so
8:43dependent on the trees
8:45but seem to enjoy the larger monkeys
8:47company
8:48though sometimes they seem to enjoy it a
8:50little too much
8:54the proboscis spend a lot of time
8:55grooming each other
8:57a young macaque watches intently
9:00[Music]
9:01she seems fascinated by the little baby
9:05for the first few months of life the
9:07baby will cling to its mother's side
9:10there is a long drop and she doesn't yet
9:12have the head for heights
9:23[Music]
9:26the monkey plucks up the courage to make
9:28its move
9:38[Music]
9:41mum's not keen on passing her baby
9:43[Music]
9:48around
9:50this sort of mixed species interaction
9:53is extremely rare
9:54though it has been witnessed in several
9:56species of primate
9:58being social is a family trait
10:04[Music]
10:07still dad keeps an eye on the would-be
10:16babysitter
10:24the macaque tries squeezing itself
10:26between mother and child
10:34[Music]
10:38playtime's over much to the macaques
10:42[Music]
10:44dismay
10:46[Music]
10:52but this is one persistent primate
11:00[Music]
11:05it can be hard living with a monkey on
11:07your back
11:15while the big noses of borneo enjoy
11:17their lush mangrove
11:18other species have adapted to much more
11:21arid environments
11:22[Music]
11:27bonnet macaques take advantage of the
11:29buildings of other primates
11:31which now abandoned offer great shelter
11:33and a vantage point to look over india's
11:36hot
11:36dry forest
11:42the troop can sleep up here in relative
11:44safety and warm themselves in the
11:46morning sun
11:51this is the perfect time to groom
11:53combing through one another's fur to
11:54remove any parasites
11:57[Music]
12:01the females hang out together meaning
12:04their babies have lots of playmates
12:05their own age
12:07by playing together they can learn how
12:09to be monkeys
12:10climbing and foraging and above all
12:12learning the complex hierarchy
12:14governed by communication and body
12:16language that must be observed
12:18throughout their lives
12:22it's thought these societies first
12:24formed so that groups could better
12:26protect their resources from the
12:27competition
12:29a key step in our own behavioral
12:31evolution as well
12:35warmed spruced up and with the babies
12:37fed
12:38the troop go in search of breakfast
12:41the older animals in the troop have a
12:43spectacular knowledge of their patch
12:46and know when different foods come into
12:48season
12:50as they travel the younger animals will
12:52learn the ropes
12:56at the moment the dish of the day is
12:59jackfruit
13:02the biggest fruits grow on trees
13:04jackfruits are packed with sweet
13:06flesh high in fiber and delicious to us
13:09as well as our fellow primates
13:12once they found a ripe fruit the monkeys
13:15look shifty
13:16wanting to keep the treasure from their
13:18neighbors
13:22they can defend them from other troop
13:24members but
13:25some diners are harder to turn away
13:34[Music]
13:35they are forced to surrender the table
13:37to the next customer
13:40[Music]
13:40[Applause]
13:44sloth bears have fiery tempers and
13:46prefer their own company
13:48so he sits down to dine alone
13:57the gang head home to digest what little
14:00fruit they got
14:02the macaques are a diverse group of
14:03monkeys thanks to their adaptability
14:06they are widespread in asia
14:10the arid open home of the bonnets
14:13contrasts with the seasonal forests of
14:15the japanese macaque
14:16[Music]
14:18though they can climb like all monkeys
14:21the macaques do a lot of foraging on the
14:23ground
14:28in true primate style the young are full
14:31of mischief
14:36the little ones too small to join in are
14:39watched over by their mums
14:44the social status of a mother will be
14:46handed down to her daughters
14:48and must be adhered to throughout their
14:50lives
14:57higher ranking animals will eat first
14:59hang out in the best spots
15:01and mate with the highest ranking males
15:05there is so much for the little macaques
15:08to learn
15:12even at five weeks old he's already
15:15experimenting with solid foods
15:17over 200 species of plants can be on the
15:20menu
15:21so there's lots to remember
15:26in another fortnight he'll be wandering
15:28further from his mother's side
15:30and will be able to join in the games of
15:32the other youngsters
15:36summer on the mountains of japan is a
15:38time of plenty and the whole family
15:40seems relaxed
15:44the central african rainforest sits
15:46right on the equator
15:47and stays hot and productive year round
15:50one reason it's so rich in monkeys
15:53but in some areas the forest gives way
15:55to planes
15:56and right now it's getting hot baboons
16:00are grassland specialists perhaps the
16:03most adaptable
16:04of all primates baboons roamed the
16:06plains eating everything from
16:08seeds to young antelope
16:11baboons have been shown to suffer from
16:13stress as a result of their complex
16:15social politics
16:16but it doesn't seem to dampen the mood
16:18for their mischievous youngsters
16:22the communities are based on related
16:23females who are joined by several
16:25unrelated males
16:28big groups are important for survival on
16:30the dangerous planes
16:41the impala often hang around the baboons
16:44making the most of dropped fruit it
16:47seems like paradise here
16:53but it has dangers of its own
16:58this is a three meter toothlined mother
17:01crocodiles lay their eggs in scooped out
17:04nests in the sand
17:06and do their best to stand guard
17:09there are egg thieves everywhere
17:12[Music]
17:15eggs are packed with protein the perfect
17:18meal
17:19and the monitor lizards steal as many as
17:21they can
17:23[Music]
17:29the antics give the brainy baboon an
17:31idea
17:34[Music]
17:39[Applause]
17:43the lizard has already opened the nest
17:46he just has to wait until the crocodile
17:48is distracted by the thieves
17:50[Music]
17:56and then he makes his move
18:01[Music]
18:09other troop members copy his lead
18:16[Music]
18:26high risk but high reward though the
18:29banquet is short-lived
18:40as the undergrowth gets thicker other
18:43primates are less worried about their
18:44next meal
18:53gorillas are less predatory than baboons
18:55but why shouldn't they be
18:57their forest home is a vegetarian's
18:59paradise
19:03though they don't spend as much time in
19:05the trees even the huge silverback is
19:07capable of reaching the canopy to browse
19:13the big male needs to eat around 18
19:15kilos of food per day
19:18his home range is spread out over six
19:20kilometers
19:22so when one patch of leaves gets a bit
19:24thin
19:25he'll still have access to fresh grazing
19:32when the best leaves have been stripped
19:33from one area they'll simply move to the
19:36next
19:37and where he goes the family follows
19:44the baby gorilla is now hanging out with
19:46older cousins
19:47and they follow the silverback wherever
19:49he goes
19:52he's a strong leader so perhaps an
19:54aspirational role model
19:58like the pied piper of primates
20:02the troop leaders have a great
20:04accumulated knowledge of the forest
20:06something that will rub off on the
20:08youngsters if they focus
20:15not surprisingly the rainforest receives
20:17a lot of rain
20:18and it fuels a vast network of rivers
20:21and streams
20:25as a general rule it's believed that
20:28many primates don't like getting their
20:29feet wet
20:30and gorillas especially are not the best
20:33swimmers
20:36[Music]
20:39but in this habitat the odd paddle is
20:42hard to avoid
20:45the little male's lucky he gets a piggy
20:47back across
20:48[Music]
20:53the silverback knows that if they want
20:55to get to the best food
20:56they must cross the streams
21:03[Music]
21:07boldly the little male tests the water
21:11[Music]
21:15older kids take a break from following
21:17dad to play
21:21[Music]
21:29the little male even joins in though he
21:32does his best
21:32to avoid a dunking from an older cousin
21:36[Music]
21:41not everyone's as comfortable in the
21:42water holding onto a branch gives little
21:45security
21:48so the hydrophobe tries an alternate
21:53[Music]
21:56route
22:08tapping his inner sat nav the silverback
22:11leads his young followers to a very
22:13special place
22:19this clearing has been made and
22:20maintained by forest elephants
22:23digging the wet ground to flush out
22:25minerals their bodies need
22:29there is not much cover left so the
22:32gorillas hold back
22:33making sure the coast is clear
22:37respectfully they wait until the giants
22:40leave
22:43because the elephants keep it clear of
22:45trees the sun can reach the ground here
22:48and in the light tasty succulent grasses
22:52thrive
22:58the troop fans out to make the most of
23:00the sun-kissed salad
23:11it's not long before bellies are bulging
23:22[Music]
23:29suddenly one of the females stands
23:31upright she spotted something
23:38alarm spreads through the group
23:48little ones return to their mothers
23:50ready for a quick escape
24:05it's the leopard
24:16but the gorillas keep their cool out in
24:19the open
24:20the spotted cat would have little chance
24:22of stalking up on them
24:38nonetheless the silverback decides it
24:40isn't worth the risk
24:46he summons the troop
25:00[Music]
25:07after all the excitement it's siesta
25:12time
25:14the silverback has the responsibility of
25:16leading his group
25:17and keeping them safe it's tiring work
25:28though this should be quiet time for the
25:30troop the young are restless
25:32[Music]
25:36the little male gives his mother the
25:37brush off so he can play with his older
25:40siblings
25:52[Music]
26:08my
26:13but the big boys play rough and our
26:15little male soon running back to his
26:22mother
26:24gorillas are not the only great apes in
26:26the jungle
26:31[Music]
26:34the paler male that leads this pack is
26:37not a gentle leader like the silverback
26:40he gets them to follow his lead through
26:42bullying and
26:47[Music]
26:50beating
26:57mothers with tiny babies flee when he
26:59goes on the war path
27:18uh
27:32wow
27:39once he's made his point the mood
27:41lightens a little
27:45chimpanzees are our closest living
27:47relations
27:49they share more than 94 percent of our
27:51genes
27:55this is a community dominated by
27:57aggressive males
27:59they can be a quarter heavier than the
28:00females
28:03after a fight a good deal of time goes
28:06into grooming
28:08it's a chance to kiss and make up or at
28:10least try and win some favors to keep
28:12out of trouble in the future
28:16the young stay close to their mothers
28:27time for the troop to catch up on some
28:29needed rest
28:30most chimps try to get their heads down
28:32for about nine hours a day
28:38there is a new baby in the heart of the
28:40group like humans
28:42chimps have long maternal periods not
28:45weaning their offspring until they are
28:46around four years old
28:51there is a challenging life ahead for
28:52this little one a life of violence and
28:55politics
28:56but also a close family bonds
28:59[Music]
29:09the droop's tyrant leader is a mature
29:11male
29:12well into his twenties he's been their
29:14leader for several years
29:19the secret of his success lies in his
29:22allies
29:23he has a team of henchmen who will back
29:25him up in a fight
29:27but beating off rival males is not the
29:29only threat to his crown
29:34although the males lead the group they
29:36have an obligation to the females
29:38if the females are not happy with the
29:40food resources they are getting under
29:42his leadership
29:43they might oust him which means his role
29:46in defending their home patch is never
29:52done
29:57for all their anger management issues
30:00chimps
30:00are undoubtedly among the most socially
30:02complex of all animals
30:07they are also undeniably one of the most
30:09intelligent
30:11time and time again they showed their
30:13ability to solve a problem
30:16in this case bobbing for apples without
30:18getting their feet wet
30:32in the mangroves of borneo proboscis
30:35monkeys take a gentler approach to life
30:41the dominant male looks bored as he
30:43surveys his patch
30:49but he's waiting waiting for the tide to
30:52go
30:53out
30:56as the sea water recedes it exposes the
31:00tangle of mangrove roots
31:02but also of fresh shoots growing among
31:04them
31:07only exposed twice a day they are a
31:09treat
31:10the monkeys wait for
31:13eagerly they make their descent
31:28[Music]
31:29the mother seems concerned and keeps a
31:31young baby
31:32out of the way of the stampede
31:48soon everyone's down and stuffing their
31:50faces
31:55their pot bellies are huge fermentation
31:57tanks to help process their leafy
32:00diets but to help the male does his best
32:03to select fresher easier to digest
32:05leaves and shoots
32:11it's risky business coming down to earth
32:13there are more predators
32:15like large lizards and snakes
32:19but there is another threat too the
32:22rising tide
32:24the monkeys aren't too concerned they
32:26are good swimmers
32:30[Music]
32:37and the male has a simple solution find
32:40a higher perch no need to get his feet
32:42wet
32:43[Music]
32:55eventually he finds himself surrounded
32:57by a moat
33:00one last bite for the road and then it
33:03really is time to go
33:12now they'll rest they've got some
33:14serious digesting to do
33:18another troop that's not afraid to make
33:20waves are the japanese macaques
33:26they'll turn their hand to just about
33:28any food source
33:32the gang heads out for a beach party
33:38the sea washes up all sorts of treasures
33:40seeds
33:41seaweeds even shellfish
33:45[Music]
33:47and the rocks lining the beaches are
33:49coated in tasty barnacles
33:51though trying to pry them off can be
33:53hell on the teeth
33:54[Music]
34:01the trick is to stay just above the
34:03water line
34:09[Music]
34:13others find different ways to enjoy the
34:18beach
34:22the macaques eat just about anything
34:24they can find
34:38back in the african rainforest another
34:40primate is on the move
34:42it looks like a chimp but appearances
34:46can be deceptive
34:56these enigmatic animals were long
34:58considered small chimpanzees
35:01but are in fact a distant species
35:04the bonobo
35:11though superficially the same in
35:13behavior
35:14bonobos are the polar opposite of chimps
35:20chimpanzees settle everything through
35:22violence
35:23if there is tension in the group it's
35:26bound to lead to a fight
35:30but when bonobos get anxious and tense
35:33they have a different outlet
35:35they have sex
35:36[Music]
35:42anything goes boys on girls
35:45boys on boys girls on girls they even
35:48keep it in the family
35:50these are the true kings of the swingers
35:59like humans they are one of few known
36:02animals to use sex for pleasure
36:04and not just reproduction
36:08[Applause]
36:11while chimps are very male dominated
36:14bonobos
36:14have leading ladies
36:20in this gentle close-knit tactile
36:22community
36:23babies are cared for like all the great
36:26apes
36:26they take a long time to mature
36:29[Music]
36:34though they mostly feed on plants there
36:36is one trait they have in common with
36:38their two closest relatives
36:40the chimps and human beings they eat
36:43meat and can be surprisingly
36:46accomplished hunters
36:50though it's rarely observed they can
36:52pack hunt to chase
36:54down and trap mammal prey
36:59is it coincidence that the fruits they
37:01drop attract
37:02deutsche tiny forest antelope
37:08its every move is carefully monitored
37:10from above
37:13[Music]
37:18appearing casual some members of the
37:20troop wander quietly into the antelope's
37:23escape
37:23path
37:29and then the trap is sprung
37:42the deuter could easily outrun an ape
37:44but it can't out think it
37:46this time brainpower wins out
37:54the body is shared around the group
38:13the rainforest lives up to its name
38:24rain brings life to the forest but apes
38:27don't seem to appreciate it
38:35even the fiery tempered chimps grind to
38:37halt to sit out the storm
38:46[Music]
38:49storms are commonplace across the
38:50tropics and on the other side of the
38:52world
38:53borneo takes a drenching
39:05more soggy primates curl up to let the
39:07rain run off
39:09but in a heavy shower like this it
39:11doesn't take long to become waterlogged
39:17there are no towels in the jungle but
39:19the proboscis have a few moves
39:29the tropics get monsoon season with
39:32heavy rain
39:33but that's about as bad as it gets but
39:35in other regions
39:36the seasons can be far more punishing
39:45summer is a distant memory for the
39:47japanese macaques
39:49[Music]
39:54their mountainous home is draped in snow
39:56[Music]
40:01drinking water takes on a different
40:03appearance
40:09and now those dexterous hands are used
40:11to dig for buried vegetation
40:14[Music]
40:17no other monkeys have what it takes to
40:19endure this cold
40:25their coats have become extra thick to
40:27shut out the biting wind
40:38gone are the days of lush green shoots
40:41now even twigs and bark have to do
40:48despite the tough conditions the
40:50youngsters don't lose their sense of
40:52play
40:52[Music]
40:54after a few hours of chilly feeding a
40:56good snowball fight will warm them up
41:08[Music]
41:18uh
41:23[Music]
41:32me
41:35[Music]
41:40the troop is one other trick to beat the
41:46cold
41:49[Music]
41:53geothermal springs bring hot water
41:56bubbling up from underground
42:00a natural spa and the perfect place to
42:03warm up and relax
42:08again the rules of hierarchy apply the
42:11highest ranking monkeys have the best
42:13spots
42:14submerged in the hot tub
42:19lower rankers cling to the edges with
42:21body parts sticking out in the cold
42:26like all good saunas this is the place
42:29for a rub down and a massage
42:38[Music]
42:39it's pampering that soaks away the
42:41hardships of winter
42:43primate ingenuity at its best
42:50there is only one other species of
42:52primate that has moved into the
42:54temperate regions of the world
42:56us
43:00about four million years ago our
43:03ancestors separated from the other apes
43:05and around 200 000 years ago the first
43:09distinctly human creatures appeared
43:12from africa we went on to colonize the
43:15globe
43:16and with profound effects on the
43:17environment there are now
43:197.3 billion of us and the numbers
43:22growing fast
43:25amazing leaps in culture art and
43:28technology
43:29now set us apart from our wild cousins
43:32but our success comes at a cost
43:43we need resources to fuel our growth
44:01forest is being destroyed at more than
44:0310 million hectares
44:05per year that combined with hunting
44:09is pushing primates to the brink
44:13there are 425 species of primate
44:16and half of them are endangered
44:22luckily there are a few but dedicated
44:24people devoted to saving our wild
44:26cousins
44:30some go into the last remnants of
44:32habitat to survey and study wild
44:34primates before it's too late
44:38by building up a comprehensive knowledge
44:40of how they use their homes
44:42what they eat and how much space they
44:44need
44:45researchers can better lobby to protect
44:48important areas from development
44:52hunting and loss of habitat result in
44:54orphaned animals
44:56fortunately some find their way to
44:59rescue centers
45:00where they can be rehabilitated and
45:02sometimes even released
45:05primates clearly respond to human
45:07kindness
45:08and the passion of their carers can
45:10speed them on the road to recovery
45:12[Music]
45:14these are western lowland gorillas less
45:17than 100
45:18000 still exist so every individual
45:21counts
45:22[Music]
45:25but sharing their facility another kind
45:28a single female cross river gorilla
45:32[Music]
45:36she is especially important she's one of
45:38less than 300 remaining
45:41the rarest of apes
45:46we are losing our wild cousins rapidly
45:49but the passion and perseverance of
45:51conservationists
45:52might just give them a chance
46:00education is the key the more people who
46:03know and care about primates
46:05the better their chances of survival
46:09learning to live alongside our wild
46:11family really would be something to
46:13celebrate
46:17and it shouldn't be too hard to connect
46:20after all
46:21we are not that different
46:29large brains the use of fire tools and
46:32language set us apart
46:42but we still have other traits hands for
46:45climbing
46:46great coordination good eyesight all
46:49things we inherited from them
46:52all things that now enable us to enjoy
46:54being human
47:02[Music]
47:16and sometimes that means we go ape
47:22it can feel pretty good to unleash
47:25our inner monkey
47:38[Music]
