Complete Record: Life in the Trees offers an intriguing exploration of the primate world. Examining species in Madagascar, Japan and Africa, David Attenborough discusses how their ancestors sought their fortunes in the treetops. Attenborough delves into the behaviour and evolution of these intriguing mammals, exploring their bifocal vision and the increased manipulation their gripping hands offer. Featuring an extraordinary array of primate behaviour, lemurs are seen sparring as Japanese macaques wash their food, and squirrel monkeys unleash their piercing calls. In the midst of all this action comes Attenborough's legendary encounter with a family of mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Filmed by award-winning cameraman Martin Saunders, this is a truly unforgetteable moment. Beautifully filmed, Life in the Trees is an informative and in-depth look at our mammalian relatives, offering an incredible insight into their history and development.
