Monkeys: An Amazing Animal Family

Biologist Patrick Aryee presents this three-part series exploring the world's primates and their evolution. With a 65 million year history, this animal species has had an extraordinary journey through time. Aryee travels to remote sites in Central and South America, Africa and Asia to get up close to various monkeys in their natural environment. The intimate portrait of the primate is revealed through a combination of field demos, animal encounters and state-of-the-art wildlife photography. The biologist discusses the science behind animal body-types, intelligent and social behaviours, and their ability to survive in often harsh environments.
