Jungle Planet Intro: Life Awakens
Life on Earth is characterized by its enormous richness. Even today, much of its surface is covered with forests and jungles. This series travels to some of the world's major forests and jungles, providing a complete view of their wildlife, biodiversity and importance for life on the planet.
The Ancient Jungle: South East Asia & Borneo
The jungles of Borneo and Southeast Asia are among the oldest in the world, at nearly 15 million years old. They are inhabited by a unique and exclusive fauna, orangutans, sun bears, flying lizards, giant rafflesia flowers, macaques and hornbills.
The Forests of the Moon: Mangroves
Mangrove forests, which grow along the coasts in the tropics, are magical in appearance. These forests and their inhabitants, such as proboscis monkeys, langurs, mudskippers and bearded wild boars, are dependent on the tides.
Butterfly Forest: South African Savannah
The south of Africa is home to an unusual forest that loses its leaves during the dry season. The Mopane tree, or butterfly tree, is the main exponent of this behavior. In this peculiar landscape live elephants, hyenas, lions, colobus monkeys, eagles and mousebirds.
Jungles in the Sea: Canary Islands Laurel Forests
The laurel forests of the Canary Islands are relics more than 20 million years old. They grow in the interior of some islands where winds carry clouds and mist. They are jungles full of strange and unique animals, such as Laurel and Bolle's pigeons, lizards, snails and birds of prey.
Spectres of the Jungle: Madagascar Rainforest
The Madagascan rainforest is inhabited by lemurs whose howls at dawn and dusk fill the woodland. In this unique ecosystem, more than 14 species of lemur, 30 species of chameleon, strange and striking birds, and countless insects survive.
The Forests of Giants: California
In California, redwoods thrive over different mountain ranges, breaking all records of height. Under their canopies, diverse wildlife like black bears, coyotes, mountain sheep, wapiti and squirrels live out their lives, intertwined in a complex web.
A World of Thorns: Thorny Forest, Madagascar
Almost all plants are armed with thorns like daggers in the Spiny Forest of Madagascar. The fauna inhabiting this forest includes sifakas, chameleons, three-eyed lizards, radiated tortoises and many endemic birds. All of them have adapted to life among the sharp thorns and permanent drought.
