Nature's Wonderlands. Madagascar, A World Apart. Episode 2
Description
In this second episode, Professor Richard Fortey travels to the rainforests of Madagascar-an ancient island that has spawned some of the most extraordinary groups of plants and animals anywhere in the world. From beautiful Indri lemurs, toxic frogs, and the cat-like giant mongoose called the fossa, to evolutionary oddities like the giraffe-necked weevil and the otherworldly aye-aye, Prof. Fortey uncovers the secrets of the evolutionary niche-examining how, given millions of years, animals and plants can adapt to fill almost any opportunity they find.
