Land of Primates

In Anja Reserve, Madagascar, we follow a family of ring-tailed lemurs for a day. Led by a dominant female, the families face bitterly cold nights, and must find food and evade predators.

For two of South Africas most charming inhabitants, the Cape parrot and the Samango monkey, home is the Afromontane--mountain forests that contain some of the rarest vegetation in the world and cover only .5% of the country. Follow their daily quest for survival in a rapidly vanishing environment.

If you want to see the fascinating geladas in their natural habitat, theres only one place on Earth you can: the Semien region of Ethiopia. Follow this absorbing band of mountain primates as they face the challenges of their rocky habitat and negotiate the complex dynamics of their close-knit group.

There are five species of baboons in Africa, and despite profound differences in appearance, they are genetically similar enough for interbreeding to happen. From chacmas living in urban environments to mountain dwelling geladas, baboons are a fascinating case study in adaptation.
