"Life" is een spectaculaire nieuwe reeks natuurdocumentaires, geproduceerd door de BBC. Tien delen, gefilmd in HD met een ambitieus doel: de ultieme ontdekkingsreis in de diversiteit in de wereld van de dieren. Doorheen de reeks zullen we getuige zijn van allerhande vormen van verbazingwekkend gedrag, wat ons een inzicht zal geven op andere wezens die onze planeet bewonen. Gedurende vier jaar, heeft de "multi-Natural History Unit" van de BBC alle mogelijke continenten en omgevingen opgezocht, in zijn zoektocht naar de meest verbluffende verhalen in de immer voortdurende strijd die dieren moeten leveren om te kunnen overleven.

Vorige aflevering:10 Primates
Intelligence and adaptability allow primates to tackle the many challenges of life, and this is what makes our closest relatives so successful. This resourcefulness has enabled primates to conquer an incredible diversity of habitat. Hamadryas baboons live on the open plains of Ethiopia in groups up to 400 strong. Strength in numbers gives them some protection from potential predators. But, should their path cross with other baboon troops, it can lead to all-out battle, as males try to steal females from one another, and even settle old scores. Japanese macaques are the most northerly-dwelling primates and they experience completely different challenges. Some beat the freezing conditions by having access to a thermal spa in the middle of winter. But this privilege is only for those born of the right female bloodline. For western lowland gorillas, it's the male silverback that leads his family group in the rich forests of the Congo basin. He advertises his status to all with a powerful chest-beating display. Most primates are forest dwellers, and one of the strangest is the tarsier – the only purely carnivorous primate. As it hunts for insects the tarsier leaps from tree to tree in the dead of night, using its huge forward-facing eyes to safely judge each jump. Good communication is essential for success in primate society.
