Headline Tag: Celebrities Rating: Amazing Hits: 517 Comments: 0 The Life of Mammals: Life in the Trees The Life of Mammals: Life in the Trees Eighth in the series, Sir David Attenborough narrates this 49:08 programme. Broadcast 22 January 2003, the next programme surveys arboreal mammals. Attenborough's introduction takes place in the close company of meerkats. They work as a team, and one will always act as a lookout. For this it climbs to the highest point nearby, which in this instance proves to be Attenborough's shoulder. Up in the canopy of the tropical rainforest, there is a greater variety of food than anywhere else in the natural world, so it is unsurprising that many animals exist there. Sloths and coatis exemplify the skills needed to move around in such a habitat. Especially suited to ascending tree trunks are sun bears and tamanduas, the latter possessing a prehensile tail, something it has in common with the woolly monkey. The flying squirrel can leap a distance of 15 metres by virtue of the fur membrane between its wrist and ankle. A five million-strong colony of fruit bats is also shown, and little impact is made on their numbers by predatory eagles and crocodiles. Infrared cameras are again employed to study nocturnal lorises and lesser bushbabies. Their ancestral relatives reached the island of Madagascar, where they diversified and are known as lemurs. They are particularly adept at jumping, and their technique is analysed. They are hunted by the fossa, a kind of mongoose, which is a match for them athletically. In the forests of Southeast Asia can be found the "supreme tree-traveller", the fastest flightless inhabitants of the canopy in the world: gibbons. User: spam_vigilante Sep 20, 2008 4:34 AM

Headline Tag: Animals Rating: Good Hits: 2442 Comments: 13 Tarsier Monkey: Maki Tarsier Monkey: Maki Tarsiers are small prosimian primates with enormous eyes and very long hind limbs. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, from which the animals get their name. The head and body range from 10 to 15 cm in length. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of South East Asia. Update: This footage has recently been used in viral videos describing him as a Slow Loris or a Dramatic Lemur. It's misnamed similar to the way the prairie dog in another video was called a Dramatic Chipmunk. Dec 15, 2007 4:42 PM
