Wild Sky

The skies above our planet never stop moving. Wind, rain, drought and blizzards shape the lives of every living thing. The polar vortex provides hunting opportunities for polar bears and fuels tornadoes dodged by prairie dogs and wolves. In South America a mysterious river of clouds brings life-giving rain to frogs and monkeys, while flamingos and puma eke out a living in the rain shadow. In Africa elephants, meerkats and lions choose different strategies to deal with drought, while in Australia the monsoon baths crocodiles and kangaroos. As weather sweeps across four continents, creatures find ingenious solutions to survive our planet’s WILD SKY.

Macaque Island

Long tailed macaques have recently being declared globally endangered and are in massive decline across South East Asia. Singapore is one of the few countries where they are managed and protected, allowing a fascinating glimpse into their complex lives and unique adaptations to the urban world. Many of the troops have adapted to live between the forest and the city fringes and have learned to make the best of the two worlds. But good monkey habitat is in short supply on this small island, and living so close to each other, it is inevitable that two of these troops will eventually cross paths. Macaques are extremely territorial and both groups are led by a charismatic alpha male who makes all the decisions for their tight family and just wants what’s best for them – including the richest home.
