The island of Madagascar evolved its own wildlife, most of which is found nowhere else. Meet lemurs, sifakas, giraffe-necked weevils, chameleons, and the fearsome fossa, and discover the difficulties in filming these strange creatures.
Go deep into Madagascar's lush rainforests. Within the remote peaks, dense forests, and bamboo thickets lie cyanide-eating lemurs, cannibalistic frogs, meat-eating plants, and tunnelling chameleons, as well as the rare, ghostly-white sifaka.
With both lush rainforest and scorching desert, Madagascar is an island of extremes. To live here, animals have to be specialists. From sifakas to fossas, see how the wildlife has adapted to this tough land, and discover the threats that remain.
