00:06The World of Warcraft
00:08The World of Warcraft
00:10The World of Warcraft
00:12Experience a world beyond imagination
00:18Where fish can fly
00:22Lizards walk on water
00:28Apes
00:30Master tools
00:34And frogs
00:36Disappear in plain sight
00:40Animals do the smartest things
00:46Through every stage of their lives
00:50From leaving home
00:54To raising a family
00:58From finding food
01:02To making friends
01:08They find ingenious ways to survive
01:12Against all odds
01:14Against all odds
01:19Welcome
01:20To the secret lives
01:22Of animals
01:24The Australian outback
01:36A kangaroo playground
01:40New playground
01:44But life on these grasslands
01:46Isn't all fun and games
01:52Adult males stand six foot tall
01:54And they're packed
01:56With muscle
01:58They need it
02:00To fight
02:02For dominance
02:04With claws sharp enough
02:12To blind an opponent
02:14And kicks so powerful
02:18And kicks so powerful
02:19They can damage
02:20Vital organs
02:22This young male
02:24Will soon have to step into this arena
02:28It's a daunting prospect
02:42To master the skills he'll need
02:44To master the skills he'll need
02:46He must go
02:48To fight school
02:50It's a vital rite of passage
02:56It's a vital rite of passage
03:02Here, they get to grips
03:04With grappling
03:06Eye gouging
03:10And most importantly
03:12Kicking
03:14Kicking
03:22It's hard to pull off
03:26To hit the mark
03:28He must learn to use his tail
03:30Like a fifth limb
03:34It's designed to take his weight
03:36And add stability
03:38It requires strength
03:44Balance
03:46And most of all
03:48Practice
03:58After six months
04:00His training's complete
04:02And he's fully grown
04:04But
04:08Dominant males
04:10Won't tolerate
04:12Fight school graduates
04:14In their territory
04:20Now he'll have to earn
04:22His place on this grassland
04:34The gloves are off
04:38The gloves are off
04:40This
04:42Is the real thing
05:00Now almost three foot long
05:02His tail is seven pounds
05:04Of pure muscle
05:08A firm anchor
05:12From which to kick
05:14With force
05:20The old heavyweight
05:22Has the size advantage
05:26But the young contender
05:28Has stamina on his side
05:32He saves his strength
05:34And then
05:36And then
05:42Lands a punishing body blow
05:44Powerful enough
05:46To stop his opponent
05:48In his tracks
05:50Powerful enough to stop his opponent
05:52In his tracks
05:54With the skills he's learned
06:02He's one step closer
06:04To becoming
06:06A champion
06:12Standing on your own two feet
06:14Is not easy
06:16But if you can master your natural talents
06:18You'll enjoy the rewards
06:20For the rest of your life
06:22Off the coast of Thailand
06:34Off the coast of Thailand
06:36On a small island
06:40Long-tailed macaques
06:42Live hand to mouth
06:44A diet of leaves alone
06:48A diet of leaves alone
06:50Isn't enough to sustain them
06:54And this young male
06:56Is hungry
07:00But his coastal home
07:02Does have a hidden bounty
07:04Twice a day
07:12Twice a day
07:18A potential feast
07:20Is revealed
07:22Shellfish
07:24Packed
07:26With protein
07:28The problem is
07:30Getting into them
07:32The problem is
07:33Getting into them
07:38The old timers are eating like kings
07:40And they aren't the sharing types
07:44And they aren't the sharing types
07:58If he wants to eat
08:00He must figure out how to do it
08:02For himself
08:04At first glance
08:12It looks simple
08:14It looks simple
08:23But
08:24There must be more to this
08:25Than meets the eye
08:26Macaques
08:27Are one of only a handful
08:28Of primates
08:29Clever enough
08:30To use stone tools
08:31And careful observation
08:33Begins
08:34To reveal
08:35Their secret
08:36He notices
08:37Each kind of shell
08:39Needs a different type
08:40Of stone
08:41And careful observation
08:42Begins
08:43To reveal
08:44Their secret
08:45He notices
08:46Each kind of shell
08:47Needs a different type
08:49Of stone
08:50He notices
08:51Each kind of shell
08:52Needs a different type
08:54Of stone
08:55Pointed
08:56Are best to chisel oysters
08:58Off the rocks
09:03Flat and heavy
09:05To pound loose shells
09:07The trick
09:10Is getting the right combination
09:12And so far
09:14He hasn't cracked
09:15It
09:22He needs to find a rock
09:24Just the right shape
09:25And weight
09:32And that's not all
09:34Shells
09:35Are hard
09:36To keep still
09:42Those in the know
09:43Find somewhere
09:45To secure them
09:46Their very own anvil
09:56Then
09:57It's a matter
09:58Of persistence
10:07Until
10:08Smashed it
10:10Smashed it
10:15With these
10:16Newfound
10:17Skills
10:18He can now
10:19Enjoy
10:20Almost 50
10:21Different types
10:22Of shellfish
10:25And eat more calories
10:26In a few hours
10:27Than a whole day
10:29Spent chewing leaves
10:31Freeing up
10:38Precious time
10:43To live
10:44The high life
10:50Not all animals
10:51Watch and learn
10:52Learn from others
10:53Some
10:55Some
10:56Must figure it out
10:57For themselves
10:59This Madagascan panther chameleon
11:02Is just one day old
11:07And already abandoned by his mother
11:12He may be smaller than your thumb
11:22But he has the potential to become one of the most effective hunters on earth
11:29Hidden in his mouth
11:33Is a secret weapon
11:35An insect's worst nightmare
11:38One of the fastest muscles in the world
11:41One of the fastest muscles in the world
11:50But acceleration of nought to sixty in seven hundredths of a second
11:55Takes some getting used to
11:56Aiming is difficult
12:10When your eyes don't always move together
12:19And everyone has a blind spot
12:26To target accurately
12:28He'll need to get both eyes aligned
12:36Locked on
12:42Bullseye
12:45And saliva four hundred times stickier than ours
12:49Seals the deal
12:57In less than a day
13:00This boy wonder
13:02Has become one sharpshooter
13:12But his tiny size
13:14Makes him a target too
13:27An adult panther chameleon
13:30Would eat him in a flash
13:49There's only one way out of this
13:51Doing something heavy adults can't
14:01Lighter than a dollar bill
14:04He skydives
14:08To safety
14:16Few animals perfect their superpowers so quickly in life
14:21For most
14:26Discovering their inner talent
14:28Takes time
14:33In a Vermont woodland
14:36These raccoon kits
14:38Are taking their first steps
14:40Towards independence
14:51Just three months old
14:55Just three months old
14:57They're still under mum's watchful eye
14:59For now
15:06Budding explorers
15:07They are in
15:09To everything
15:16Which can get them into trouble
15:17But curiosity is essential
15:23It's how raccoons learn
15:28Right now they're looking for food
15:34Like insects, frogs and snails
15:37Frogs and snails
15:43But unlike most mammals
15:46They don't just hunt with their nose
15:49They hunt with their feet
15:54Independent toes make their paws as dexterous as our hands
15:59And they can figure out what an object is
16:05Just by touching it
16:07When they don't immediately find what they want
16:20They keep looking
16:23A creek can be a challenging hunting ground
16:38Ripples and the sun's glare make it hard to see under the surface
16:42But when wet
16:46A raccoon's paws become even more sensitive
16:57Just like a cat's whiskers
16:59Fine hairs on their fingers
17:01Sense the tiniest vibrations
17:06Sending signals to a brain that for its size
17:09Is more devoted to touch than any other carnivore
17:14But it takes time to figure out what's what
17:20So if at first you don't succeed
17:25Try
17:27Try
17:29Again
17:31Gotcha
17:41A tasty crayfish
17:45Not a bad end to a morning's work
17:53While some animals have natural curiosity
17:56And work things out for themselves
18:01Others need a helping hand
18:06In Borneo
18:08This young orangutan is two years old
18:14She has the longest childhood in the animal kingdom
18:18And she needs it
18:22Because there is so much to learn about her rainforest home
18:26She'll spend almost all of her life up in the trees
18:35So climbing is the most important skill to master
18:41In the low branches, she's confident
18:47But a orangutan's main food source is fruit
18:56Most of that
18:59Is found
19:01Way up there
19:05Over ten stories high
19:08In the canopy
19:09She must learn to climb these giants on her own
19:27Mum leads the way
19:28She tries to copy every step
19:37She tries to copy every step
19:45It's a good start
19:48But this isn't called a rain forest for nothing
19:52Wet trees make climbing treacherous
20:09No conditions for a beginner
20:15But even this
20:17Is an opportunity for learning
20:18When it rains every day
20:23When it rains every day
20:25It's handy to know how to make a shelter
20:29An umbrella
20:33It's something only great apes can do
20:43Hmm...
20:45Not quite there yet
20:46Not quite there yet
20:58Every storm passes eventually
21:03With the return of the sun
21:07The climb is back on
21:09Up here
21:10One slip
21:12Could be fatal
21:17Up here
21:19One slip
21:20Could be fatal
21:22Climbing this high
21:24Is a matter of endurance
21:26And stamina
21:27Climbing this high
21:28Is a matter of endurance
21:33And stamina
21:41But mum is always close by
21:44In case she gets tired
21:50After nearly an hour
21:53She's made it
21:54She's made it.
21:59A cause for celebration.
22:06The prize is worth the risk.
22:14Durian fruit.
22:16Packed with vitamins and calories, it's the ultimate brain food.
22:21Just what her growing mind needs.
22:38This young orangutan will be eight before she's ready to go it alone.
22:43Until then, she knows she'll be learning from the best.
22:51Reaching the peak of your potential isn't easy.
23:03But with curiosity.
23:06Persistence.
23:08Persistence.
23:13And the spirit to succeed.
23:17You can master your talent.
23:22And reach dizzying heights.
23:25To film a young orangutan's precarious journey towards independence,
23:44the team ventured deep into the Bornean rainforest.
23:51Where they saw firsthand the challenges they'd face.
23:56One of the hardest things about filming orangutans
23:58is getting shots that aren't just looking up at them from below.
24:02We really want to be eye level with them
24:03and sort of be really embedded in their world.
24:05The only way to do that is to be up there.
24:07The team want to film her first solo climb high into the canopy.
24:15But these are some of the tallest trees on earth.
24:19Rising over 200 feet.
24:24The only way to film at these heights
24:26is with the help of an elite team of rope specialists.
24:32First, they must accurately shoot a fishing line
24:35over the highest branch.
24:38Got it.
24:39You got it.
24:40One shot.
24:42Awesome.
24:44Next, they use it to haul up over half a mile of rope
24:48and establish a complex network of filming, track,
24:51and platforms to work from.
24:55Then, the cameras are very carefully winched into place.
24:59Looks okay from down here.
25:00It's an impressive feat of engineering.
25:05Rigged and ready to film.
25:10But the orangutans have other ideas.
25:16Basically, we've got a jungle gym for them.
25:19And they're just enjoying swinging on them.
25:26While they play...
25:27The shoot grinds to a halt.
25:31The shoot grinds to a halt.
25:36She's literally holding us towards them.
25:42We just have to sit it out.
25:48After a lengthy standoff,
25:49the troublemakers tire of the ropes,
25:54and the young orangutan turns her attention to the real thing.
25:59Can we come in down here?
26:00Yeah.
26:01I think that looks nice, doesn't it?
26:04We've got an orangutan.
26:06Quite confident it's going to have a go at climbing the tree,
26:09so we're hoping all the stars align.
26:12And then...
26:15the moment they've all been waiting for.
26:21Hello, Lee.
26:22The crew's high-wire camera rigs are a soaring success.
26:40Capturing a unique moment in this young orangutan's life.
26:45She's just at the age where she's sort of gaining her independence,
26:49so every day is like a school day.
26:52And she's passed today's milestone test with flying colours.
26:56Next time...
27:06we all grow old...
27:11but by sharing experience...
27:16taking on fresh challenges...
27:20and finding a special place within the family...
27:26old age can actually be...
27:30a new beginning.
27:56on the last Disney Sea.
27:58一切 fisca원...
28:02even existem semi- ropes.
28:05A new figure,
28:07have been married first,
28:10those were beautiful in front,
28:12and that's why we are...
28:14We've got a special place...
28:16a new thing...
28:18especially when we always talk about datament,
28:21who is still like life in the infrastructure,
