[mysterious music playing]

00:00:11,886 --> 00:00:16,683
[David Attenborough] This forest
is home to the biggest and heaviest

5
00:00:16,766 --> 00:00:19,185
of all tree-living animals.

6
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:21,980
[branches rustling]

7
00:00:30,947 --> 00:00:34,034
-[whimsical music playing]
-[David] During their long lives,

8
00:00:34,117 --> 00:00:37,078
they may never even
put a foot on the ground.

9
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:49,007
That is why so little was known about them

10
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:51,801
until just a few decades ago.

11
00:00:57,474 --> 00:01:00,810
Yet they are one of our closest relatives,

12
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:05,356
sharing nearly 30
physical characteristics with us.

13
00:01:07,275 --> 00:01:12,822
Even their name, orang hutan,
means "person of the forest."

14
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:18,495
Despite their great size and strength,

15
00:01:18,995 --> 00:01:24,542
these are gentle, thoughtful,
problem-solving creatures…

16
00:01:27,003 --> 00:01:31,508
and perhaps more relatable to us
than any other great ape.

17
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:34,469
[bird chirping]

18
00:01:34,552 --> 00:01:39,891
Looking at an orangutan, it's hard
not to see something of ourselves.

19
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:43,770
And while we may never know
exactly what they're thinking,

20
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:46,147
think, they surely do.

21
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:48,817
[whimsical music continues]

22
00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:17,470
[music fades]

23
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:20,932
[contemplative music playing]

24
00:02:21,015 --> 00:02:26,354
Orangutans once lived right across
the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

25
00:02:27,021 --> 00:02:29,774
But much of their forest
has now been felled.

26
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:36,573
And today, the few thousand that remain
are restricted to the far north.

27
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,910
Here, one place stands out.

28
00:02:41,536 --> 00:02:42,662
Suaq.

29
00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:45,707
A small stretch of swamp forest…

30
00:02:48,042 --> 00:02:51,838
bordered to the west by the Limbang River,

31
00:02:51,921 --> 00:02:55,133
which acts as a barrier
to human development.

32
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:57,427
[majestic music playing]

33
00:02:58,219 --> 00:03:02,849
Suaq's forest has remained
unchanged for thousands of years.

34
00:03:06,644 --> 00:03:09,230
It's prime orangutan habitat…

35
00:03:11,816 --> 00:03:15,445
and now has the highest density
of these red-haired apes

36
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:17,530
as anywhere on the planet.

37
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:20,200
[whimsical music playing]

38
00:03:21,117 --> 00:03:25,955
It's a neighborhood
of over 200 identifiable individuals.

39
00:03:34,964 --> 00:03:37,842
And for the last 30 years,

40
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:42,639
they have been watched by scientists
of the Orangutan Research Project.

41
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:49,562
But whether the observers
are field scientists or filmmakers,

42
00:03:50,855 --> 00:03:55,235
just glimpsing an orangutan
in the treetops of the swamp below

43
00:03:55,318 --> 00:03:56,903
is not enough.

44
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,660
You need to see them close up,
high in the canopy.

45
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:06,788
[branches cracking]

46
00:04:09,123 --> 00:04:13,836
And new filming techniques,
such as small drones,

47
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,547
are now enabling us to do exactly that,

48
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:22,512
revealing more details
of their private lives than ever before.

49
00:04:25,223 --> 00:04:27,684
Orangs are normally solitary,

50
00:04:27,767 --> 00:04:30,812
but those living here
are remarkably social.

51
00:04:31,312 --> 00:04:33,898
[whimsical music continues]

52
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:36,234
They watch and learn from one another,

53
00:04:36,317 --> 00:04:40,196
and by doing so
have created a unique culture.

54
00:04:43,408 --> 00:04:47,704
The use of tools is rare
among orangutans elsewhere,

55
00:04:47,787 --> 00:04:49,580
but not here,

56
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:54,836
and such skills are passed down
to each new generation.

57
00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:57,380
[music fades out]

58
00:04:59,924 --> 00:05:06,014
At the center of this long-running study
are three closely related females.

59
00:05:06,764 --> 00:05:09,726
The most senior is Friska,

60
00:05:09,809 --> 00:05:13,688
skilled at sucking termites out of sticks.

61
00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:16,107
[gentle music playing]

62
00:05:16,190 --> 00:05:21,988
She's over 60 years of age
and one of the world's oldest wild orangs.

63
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:28,661
Next, Friska's daughter Ellie,
always eating.

64
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:33,958
And lastly, Ellie's child, Eden,

65
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:39,255
who is approaching
the biggest milestone in an orang's life.

66
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:45,011
She's recognizable
by the spike in her hair,

67
00:05:45,887 --> 00:05:48,556
a feature she's had since she was a baby.

68
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:58,358
This is Eden, aged two,

69
00:05:59,650 --> 00:06:01,527
with Mum Ellie.

70
00:06:03,654 --> 00:06:06,783
The bond between
mother orangutan and child

71
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:10,495
is one of the longest
and strongest in the natural world,

72
00:06:10,578 --> 00:06:13,081
second only to humans.

73
00:06:16,292 --> 00:06:21,047
A young orangutan will spend
thousands of hours watching its mother.

74
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:35,311
That is how they learn which
of the jungle's many species of plant

75
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:36,896
are safe to eat…

76
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:43,069
and, just as important, how to eat them.

77
00:06:46,864 --> 00:06:50,159
It's an education that can take a decade.

78
00:06:56,999 --> 00:07:00,211
But all that was six years ago.

79
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:06,217
Eden is now eight
and knows quite a lot about the jungle.

80
00:07:13,391 --> 00:07:17,770
She's learned which plants
in this sea of green are good to eat.

81
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:27,822
What hasn't yet changed
is her relationship with her mother.

82
00:07:27,905 --> 00:07:29,866
[animal calling]

83
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:33,995
Ellie is never far away,

84
00:07:35,329 --> 00:07:40,376
and watching her is still
Eden's quickest way of finding food.

85
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:45,256
Such as these termites.

86
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,560
For Eden,
sharing with her mother is a way of life.

87
00:08:00,271 --> 00:08:01,981
Until now.

88
00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:06,986
That slap is not a good sign.

89
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:13,326
Something has changed.

90
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:17,205
[intriguing music playing]

91
00:08:17,288 --> 00:08:19,957
There has been a new arrival.

92
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:30,384
It's about half the size of a human baby

93
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:35,014
and probably the first newborn
that Eden has ever seen.

94
00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:44,482
[chitters]

95
00:08:46,234 --> 00:08:48,277
All rather bewildering.

96
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:52,907
Though the newcomer
is surely worth a closer look.

97
00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:14,053
But her mother doesn't want her too close.

98
00:09:14,929 --> 00:09:16,931
[whimsical music playing]

99
00:09:24,146 --> 00:09:29,151
For eight years, mother and firstborn
have done everything together.

100
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:31,779
[contemplative music playing]

101
00:09:31,862 --> 00:09:35,616
Now, two have become three,

102
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,661
and it all seems different.

103
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:47,461
Nevertheless,
it's still best to follow Mum.

104
00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:50,923
[whimsical music playing]

105
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:02,727
Even at the age of eight,
Eden has always kept her mother in sight.

106
00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:13,863
That is not easy in the dense jungle…

107
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:18,200
but getting lost would be dangerous.

108
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:28,586
And wherever Ellie is,
food is not far away.

109
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:37,011
To power their big brains and bodies,

110
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:40,431
orangutans spend much of their day eating.

111
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:50,566
These melaka fruit
are just one of over 300 kinds of food

112
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,735
that Ellie and Eden will eat.

113
00:10:57,073 --> 00:11:00,368
Collecting some food
requires special techniques.

114
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:05,081
[munching]

115
00:11:12,963 --> 00:11:17,051
For Eden, copying Mum
has always been the best policy.

116
00:11:21,889 --> 00:11:24,892
But when a snack can bite back…

117
00:11:24,975 --> 00:11:27,103
[mandibles clanging]

118
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:30,106
…you've got to get the technique
just right.

119
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:39,407
Eden will quickly learn
that using your fingertips

120
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:42,159
is not the best way to pick up ants.

121
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:43,285
[shrieks]

122
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:47,790
[shrieks]

123
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:53,462
As ever,
nothing comes between Ellie and her food,

124
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:56,424
and that includes baby's arm.

125
00:11:56,507 --> 00:11:58,050
[baby squeals]

126
00:12:07,768 --> 00:12:09,729
With a new baby to support,

127
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:14,150
Ellie must eat
around 3,000 calories a day.

128
00:12:17,027 --> 00:12:20,364
Leaves are an important part
of their diet.

129
00:12:22,032 --> 00:12:25,119
But even the right kind
need some processing.

130
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:30,624
Which means spitting out
the bitter-tasting tannins.

131
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,918
[whimsical music continues]

132
00:12:42,636 --> 00:12:44,847
[gentle music playing]

133
00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:49,268
Newborn orangutans
spend a lot of time sleeping,

134
00:12:49,351 --> 00:12:51,645
just as human babies do.

135
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:55,316
The only difference
is that they must do so

136
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,610
while keeping a tight grip on Mother.

137
00:13:08,162 --> 00:13:13,125
After a few hours spent feeding,
orangutans like to take a nap.

138
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:21,550
But now, the new baby seems
to have taken Eden's place in the nest.

139
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:36,232
It's hard when your mother
doesn't seem to be as interested

140
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:38,859
in you as she once was.

141
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:52,164
Soon Eden will have to find
a new home in this forest

142
00:13:52,248 --> 00:13:54,041
and fend for herself.

143
00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:59,421
[animals chittering]

144
00:14:04,927 --> 00:14:08,180
[contemplative music playing]

145
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:09,974
Elsewhere in the neighborhood,

146
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:15,145
Eden's cousin Pepito
is facing his own moment of truth.

147
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,698
His mother, Piniata,
is ready to have another baby.

148
00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:29,743
A year older than Eden,

149
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:32,037
this is as good a sign as any

150
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:35,583
that it's time
for Pepito to go off by himself.

151
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:39,003
[expectant music playing]

152
00:14:46,343 --> 00:14:51,891
Going solo is the most dangerous time
in a young orang's life.

153
00:14:53,517 --> 00:14:57,855
To succeed, you need know-how, confidence,

154
00:14:59,231 --> 00:15:00,524
and vigilance.

155
00:15:02,318 --> 00:15:04,570

[intriguing music playing]

157
00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:16,290
And what better way to show confidence…

158
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:21,253
than quelling the demons
in the swamp below?

00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,763
[adventurous music playing]

160
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:34,642
Even if it's only a harmless turtle.

[adventurous music playing]

164
00:15:58,290 --> 00:16:02,252
This might appear to be
a somewhat over-the-top reaction,

165
00:16:03,712 --> 00:16:05,631
but in orang society,

166
00:16:07,257 --> 00:16:10,594
boys are known to be
more boisterous than girls.

167
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:17,726
And that isn't the only difference
between the genders.

168
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:19,687
[music fades]

169
00:16:22,022 --> 00:16:24,108
To fulfill their potential,

170
00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:27,111
newly independent young males like Pepito

171
00:16:27,194 --> 00:16:31,824
must find an adult male
as a role model from whom to learn.

172
00:16:31,907 --> 00:16:34,868
[contemplative music playing]

173
00:16:35,911 --> 00:16:39,498
In the meantime,
there's an opportunity to watch the use

174
00:16:39,581 --> 00:16:42,001
of an important Suaq skill.

175
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:51,969
The fruiting of cemanang trees

176
00:16:52,886 --> 00:16:56,765
is much anticipated by adult orangutans.

177
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:03,522
The pods contain very nutritious seeds.

178
00:17:06,775 --> 00:17:09,153
But you have to know how to get at them.

179
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:15,784
Until they ripen,
the pods are almost impossible to open.

180
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:24,209
Inside each are dozens of seeds,

181
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:27,921
protected by thousands
of glass-like hairs.

182
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:35,012
Once open, the only safe way
to reach the calorie-rich seeds

183
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:36,638
is by using a tool.

184
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:42,686
And with decades of experience,

185
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:45,981
60-year-old Friska is an expert.

186
00:17:47,983 --> 00:17:50,194
[upbeat music playing]

187
00:17:53,697 --> 00:17:55,365
With the right size stick,

188
00:17:55,449 --> 00:18:00,329
she can pop out the seeds
without touching the irritating hairs.

189
00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:14,885
Suaq's orangs are virtually
the only ones able to do this,

190
00:18:14,968 --> 00:18:18,263
though perfecting the skill
can take years.

191
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:30,901
Females have usually learned it
by the time they're about 14 years old.

192
00:18:33,153 --> 00:18:36,240
Most males take a little longer than that.

193
00:18:43,038 --> 00:18:47,543
Youngsters like Pepito and Eden
have to watch the adults carefully

194
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:52,256
if they're ever to master the technique
and enjoy this high-protein food.

195
00:18:55,425 --> 00:19:00,097
And remarkably, even after
they've been chewed by the orangs,

196
00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:03,934
the seeds are still able to germinate.

197
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:12,276
-[animals chittering]

198
00:19:16,071 --> 00:19:19,449
Old Friska is on a trip
through the neighborhood.

199
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:22,202
[whimsical music playing]

200
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:26,915
She's come to visit her daughter Ellie.

201
00:19:28,458 --> 00:19:32,129
Perhaps she's aware
of the new addition to her family.

202
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:44,391
Friska is not just mother of six,
she's also a great-grandmother.

203
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:48,896
And this new baby is her fifth grandchild,

204
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:53,358
making her the neighborhood's
most successful female.

205
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:02,659
But the relationship between
grandchild number five and number four,

206
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:05,787
spiky-haired Eden, remains frosty.

207
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:23,430
Mothering styles among orangutans vary.

208
00:20:26,016 --> 00:20:28,352
Friska is known to be strict.

209
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:34,107
The researchers noticed
that compared to other mothers,

210
00:20:34,191 --> 00:20:36,902
she let her infants cry more often

211
00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:40,113
and gave in to their demands
less frequently.

212
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:46,870
A tough-love approach
that has been inherited by Ellie,

213
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:50,958
who is now applying it
to her oldest child, Eden.

214
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:52,626
[gentle music playing]

215
00:20:52,709 --> 00:20:56,421
Her mother's attention
is now focused on the new baby,

216
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:59,925
who seems to have won over
even grumpy Granny.

217
00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:07,766
Like cousin Pepito,

218
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:13,522
the moment has come
for Eden to spend time away from Mum.

219
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:18,610
It will be a whole new experience,

220
00:21:18,694 --> 00:21:20,320
being on her own.

221
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:27,327
And without her mother,

222
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:31,665
she will have to deal
with many unfamiliar orangutans.

223
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:35,585
[music fades]

224
00:21:39,339 --> 00:21:44,344
One of these will be very interested
in the more independent Eden.

[intriguing music playing]

226
00:21:49,683 --> 00:21:52,227
Twenty-eight-year-old Sulli,

227
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,397
always on the lookout
for new relationships.

228
00:21:57,774 --> 00:22:02,112
So any movement in the trees
catches his eye.

229
00:22:08,076 --> 00:22:12,956
Despite his age, Sulli hasn't yet
developed into a fully mature male

230
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,877
with the pads on his cheeks
that are known as flanges.

231
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:24,343
And even for an unflanged male,
he's still rather small.

232
00:22:31,975 --> 00:22:37,522
But what he lacks in stature,
he makes up for in determination.

233
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:46,740
And Sulli the unflanged
has just spotted a familiar face.

234
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,326
[intriguing music continues]

235
00:22:49,409 --> 00:22:51,745
Twenty-one-year-old Lily.

236
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:58,585
As a subordinate male,

237
00:22:58,668 --> 00:23:02,756
Sulli must take the initiative
when it comes to befriending females.

238
00:23:22,859 --> 00:23:24,820
She doesn't seem interested,

239
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,616
but when you're an unflanged male,
you have to persevere.

240
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,748

[tense music playing]

242
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:43,422
With his focus on Lily,

243
00:23:43,505 --> 00:23:50,011
Sulli hasn't realized
that he's being watched by Split Lip Otto,

244
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:53,723
Suaq's old
but still dominant flanged male.

245
00:23:57,811 --> 00:24:00,480
He won't tolerate a subordinate like Sulli

246
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:03,608
getting friendly
with females on his patch.

00:24:03,692 --> 00:24:07,612

00:24:13,743 --> 00:24:16,746
Otto must remind him who's boss.

250
00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:30,051
Sulli had better make himself scarce.

251
00:24:31,928 --> 00:24:33,555
[music intensifies]

252
00:24:40,187 --> 00:24:43,523
One advantage of being an unflanged male

253
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:47,486
is that you can move much faster
than heavyweights like Otto.

254
00:24:57,412 --> 00:25:01,082
So staying one step ahead isn't hard.

255
00:25:06,213 --> 00:25:09,925
For Otto, it's not easy
putting the frighteners on someone

256
00:25:10,008 --> 00:25:11,843
if you can't get close.

257
00:25:16,598 --> 00:25:18,558
But shaking branches

258
00:25:18,642 --> 00:25:22,479
is a flanged male's way
of saying, "Get lost."

259
00:25:24,856 --> 00:25:25,857
Job done.

260
00:25:27,317 --> 00:25:28,568
At least for now.

Titan.

He wants Otto's title.

272
00:26:16,992 --> 00:26:22,163
If he gets it, he will be the one
that breeding females will choose.

273
00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:32,966
So Titan the challenger goes in pursuit,

274
00:26:34,009 --> 00:26:36,094
and Otto makes a run for it.

Combat risks injury or worse.

So flanged males
will only fight if they have to.

279
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:05,790
Far better if the contest
can be decided by a show of strength.

280

how to rattle the old man's cage.

[animals howling]

282
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:24,893

but he's not yet the dominant male.

286
00:27:46,623 --> 00:27:51,336
To win that title, he will probably
have to face much stronger opponents.

287
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:00,637
This won't be one of them.

At nearly 90 kilos,

00:28:21,574 --> 00:28:27,664
Titan can use his weight to swing across
gaps between trees, and so save energy.

Perhaps it's a bit risky.

Scientists have recently discovered
they also communicate future travel plans.

It's not good news for Split Lip Otto.

Once the king of Suaq,
what he now needs is a quiet retirement.

328
00:32:08,176 --> 00:32:11,554
That could lie
on the other side of the river,

329
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:13,181

A bridge used by the monkeys

But Otto is more than ten times heavier
than a langur monkey.

Otto's self-imposed exile from Suaq
marks the end of an era.

00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:32,468
And without an established dominant male,

338
00:33:32,552 --> 00:33:37,473
other younger males will rise
from the ranks to claim the position.

339

she's getting used to being by herself.

00:34:47,627 --> 00:34:50,588
particularly if they are
family or friends.

352
00:34:58,054 --> 00:35:01,432
It's Olala, a juvenile female.

353
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,853
She isn't family,

354
00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:10,650
but here in Suaq, young unrelated females
often tolerate each other.

355
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,197
[dramatic musical hit]

356
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,492
-But not this time.
-[mischievous music playing]

357
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:23,496
Eden and Olala's families
have had a long-running feud.

358
00:35:27,917 --> 00:35:29,836
And there's no sign of it cooling.

359
00:35:33,339 --> 00:35:36,968
Eden must try to drive Olala away.

360
00:35:37,051 --> 00:35:39,971
[dramatic music playing]

361
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:00,658
[music becomes quiet and dramatic]

362
00:36:09,041 --> 00:36:10,626
[gentle music playing]

363
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:19,927
Standing up to Olala
and defending her territory

364
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:23,472
shows she's come a long way
since leaving home.

365
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:29,103
She returns to her berries,

366
00:36:30,396 --> 00:36:33,149
not yet aware of a new visitor.

367
00:36:34,066 --> 00:36:36,235
[mysterious music playing]

368
00:36:41,449 --> 00:36:44,410
It's Sulli, the unflanged.

369
00:36:44,493 --> 00:36:46,954
[whimsical music playing]

370
00:36:50,082 --> 00:36:53,127
He's come here to make friends with Eden.

371
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,929
Eden seems unsure.

372
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:13,064
She's never been alone with a male before.

373
00:37:18,861 --> 00:37:22,907
Eden pauses,
perhaps to assess the situation.

374
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:27,787
He seems friendly.

375
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:31,707
But what Eden doesn't know

376
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:35,878
is that Sulli's strategy
is more calculated.

377
00:37:37,380 --> 00:37:40,049
If he can develop
a friendship with her now,

378
00:37:40,132 --> 00:37:44,011
he might have more of a chance
when she's old enough to breed.

379
00:37:55,564 --> 00:37:56,899
[music stops]

380
00:37:56,983 --> 00:37:59,610
[contemplative music playing]

381
00:38:02,655 --> 00:38:07,118
Maybe that look was an encouraging sign.

382
00:38:12,707 --> 00:38:16,669
Eden settles down
with a stick full of termites.

383
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:26,053
And when Sulli catches up,

384
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:28,597
he shares her stick.

385
00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:38,357
So far, everything Eden has learned
has come from her mother, Ellie.

386
00:38:41,485 --> 00:38:45,865
But watching Sulli is a chance
to learn other ways of doing things,

387
00:38:46,449 --> 00:38:49,785
expanding her knowledge
of how to live in this forest.

388
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:59,503
And while motherhood
is not yet on her mind…

389
00:39:02,256 --> 00:39:07,219
perhaps this strange male is more
interesting than she first thought.

390
00:39:19,607 --> 00:39:21,650
[music fades out]

391
00:39:22,485 --> 00:39:28,240
Not far away,
Eden's mother, Ellie, is in a mango tree.

392
00:39:28,324 --> 00:39:30,534
[heartfelt music playing]

393
00:39:30,618 --> 00:39:32,787
Her baby is doing well.

394
00:39:35,247 --> 00:39:38,292
The human observers have named him Emen.

395
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:49,136
Three months old, he still has
a lot to learn about the world around him.

396
00:39:52,723 --> 00:39:54,850
[whimsical music playing]

397
00:39:57,978 --> 00:40:01,816
In Suaq,
termites are a very familiar sight.

398
00:40:05,736 --> 00:40:09,115
The shy, fluffy-backed tit-babbler,
on the other hand…

399
00:40:09,198 --> 00:40:11,033
[chirping]

400
00:40:11,117 --> 00:40:13,494
…is more often heard than seen.

401
00:40:22,628 --> 00:40:26,340
There are thousands of different species
of animal in this forest.

402
00:40:34,056 --> 00:40:36,517
And wherever the two orangs go,

403
00:40:37,017 --> 00:40:40,729
there will be new things
for Emen to wonder at.

404
00:40:41,814 --> 00:40:44,150
[upbeat music continues]

405
00:41:06,005 --> 00:41:06,922
[grunts]

406
00:41:11,635 --> 00:41:15,764
Emen will eventually become familiar
with most of these creatures…

407
00:41:17,975 --> 00:41:19,977
and learn which are harmless,

408
00:41:21,228 --> 00:41:23,147
and which are not.

409
00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:25,316
[music becomes ominous]

410
00:41:28,027 --> 00:41:32,156
Ellie needs to warn her son
when animals are dangerous

411
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,742
so that Emen knows how to avoid them.

412
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:40,623
A bite from a pit viper could be fatal.

413
00:41:40,706 --> 00:41:42,082
[music stops]

414
00:41:42,166 --> 00:41:44,418
[gentle music playing]

415
00:41:45,794 --> 00:41:47,379
Like Eden before him,

416
00:41:47,463 --> 00:41:51,592
Emen will be closely guarded by Ellie
for many years to come.

417
00:41:55,346 --> 00:42:00,809
It's why infant survival is higher
among orangutans than any other great ape.

418
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:22,915
It's time for Ellie
to make a nest for the night.

419
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:27,378
She prepares a leafy mattress.

420
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,388
It will be years before Emen is able
to build a nest for himself.

421
00:42:42,851 --> 00:42:47,064
Exactly how to do that
is something he'll learn from his mother.

422
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:53,237
Orangutans build new nests every night.

423
00:42:56,740 --> 00:43:00,452
And they're the most complex
made by any great ape.

424
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:06,417
The style varies
from one individual to another.

425
00:43:08,627 --> 00:43:11,463
Some even add leaf pillows.

426
00:43:15,217 --> 00:43:18,512
[yawns]

427
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:28,564

-[contemplative music playing]
-[animals chittering]

430
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:49,960
It's 6:00 a.m.

431
00:43:50,794 --> 00:43:52,087
Wake-up time.

[insects buzzing]

00:44:06,268 --> 00:44:10,856
For those having a lie-in,
the morning alarm is about to go off.

[rapid whooping]

439
00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:19,156
Suaq's dawn chorus.

440
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:25,329
Their inflatable throat sacs
amplify their calls.

441
00:44:25,412 --> 00:44:27,706
[whooping continues]

442
00:44:27,790 --> 00:44:32,544
And it's deafening, if, like Titan,
you've been sleeping right underneath.

00:44:46,183 --> 00:44:48,394
[lively music playing]

444
00:44:48,477 --> 00:44:50,896
Other residents are already on the move.

445
00:44:56,652 --> 00:45:01,240
There are over 30 different species
of termite in Suaq.

446
00:45:01,824 --> 00:45:04,535
These are processional termites.

447
00:45:06,412 --> 00:45:11,208
They feed on leaves, lichen and bark,
which they take back to their nest.

448
00:45:17,923 --> 00:45:21,260
Their columns can be
hundreds of meters long.

449
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:29,101
[car horns honking]

450
00:45:41,363 --> 00:45:47,453
Termites play a vital role in recycling
nutrients back into the forest…

451
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:51,081
[loud rumbling]

452
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:54,543
[faint screams]

453
00:45:55,544 --> 00:46:00,048
…and are also themselves
food for large, hairy apes

454
00:46:01,216 --> 00:46:02,426
like Titan.

455
00:46:13,312 --> 00:46:15,063
[whimsical music playing]

456
00:46:15,147 --> 00:46:16,440
[music stops]

457
00:46:16,523 --> 00:46:19,109
Pepito is still watching what goes on.

458
00:46:29,912 --> 00:46:32,289
Anything he learns from Titan

459
00:46:32,831 --> 00:46:37,753
will be useful if he eventually
becomes a flanged male.

460
00:46:41,590 --> 00:46:45,010
Titan, however,
has more important matters on his mind,

461
00:46:45,093 --> 00:46:47,054
such as ripe fruit.

462
00:46:48,597 --> 00:46:53,143
And he knows
where there is a tree full of it.

463
00:46:54,812 --> 00:46:56,563
[adventurous music playing]

464
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:58,899
He takes the shortest route…

465
00:47:02,736 --> 00:47:06,657
only stopping if he sees
other delicacies on the way.

466
00:47:11,620 --> 00:47:14,998
Titan was an adult
when he first appeared in Suaq,

467
00:47:15,082 --> 00:47:19,837
but over the last decade he's built up
a mental map of the fruiting trees,

468
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:25,843
memorizing not only where they are,
but when they will be ready to pick.

469
00:47:33,976 --> 00:47:37,437
If he wants to add
to his already impressive physique

470
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:39,606
and become king of the jungle,

471
00:47:39,690 --> 00:47:43,902
he needs to eat, eat, eat.

472
00:47:45,612 --> 00:47:48,949
As many as 8,000 calories a day.

473
00:47:49,032 --> 00:47:50,742
[lively music playing]

474
00:48:28,864 --> 00:48:31,366
[animals chittering]

475
00:48:33,201 --> 00:48:35,913
[mischievous music playing]

476
00:48:39,416 --> 00:48:41,710
Unable to keep up with Titan,

477
00:48:41,793 --> 00:48:45,881
Pepito has homed in on Olala,
the young female.

478
00:48:50,385 --> 00:48:54,389
She is eating the fruits
of a medang baru tree.

479
00:49:01,021 --> 00:49:04,816
It's likely that Pepito
has never been around her before.

480
00:49:08,153 --> 00:49:10,489
So she's worth a closer look.

481
00:49:12,866 --> 00:49:15,577
And she seems interested in him.

482
00:49:23,585 --> 00:49:26,713
But whether this was
the introduction she had in mind…

483
00:49:29,424 --> 00:49:30,926
is hard to say.

484
00:49:33,053 --> 00:49:37,432
At this distance, Pepito can really
check out her feeding technique.

485
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:42,521
And maybe learn something new.

486
00:49:45,899 --> 00:49:49,111
But Olala has had enough
of being stared at.

487
00:49:52,447 --> 00:49:57,494
For Pepito, learning from his peers
is another part of his education,

488
00:49:58,078 --> 00:50:01,498
and might even increase
his survival prospects.

489
00:50:01,581 --> 00:50:03,208
[music stops]

490
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:09,506
[upbeat music playing]

491
00:50:10,841 --> 00:50:14,261
There's something else on Titan's mind.

492
00:50:17,973 --> 00:50:20,600
And it doesn't appear to be Yulia.

493
00:50:26,898 --> 00:50:32,112
As the leading male, he's a magnet
for adult females like Yulia

494
00:50:32,612 --> 00:50:34,740
who are looking for a relationship.

495
00:50:38,535 --> 00:50:42,414
Oddly, she's finding it difficult
to get him in the right mood.

496
00:50:44,124 --> 00:50:47,586
Perhaps it will help
prodding him in a delicate area.

497
00:50:52,257 --> 00:50:54,509
[sniffing]

498
00:51:08,273 --> 00:51:09,566
[grunts]

499
00:51:12,027 --> 00:51:13,779
Time for a rethink.

500
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,748
A gift of a few leaves, perhaps?

501
00:51:33,131 --> 00:51:37,260
Well, there's a limit on what you can do

502
00:51:37,344 --> 00:51:39,179
to get someone's attention.

503
00:51:44,017 --> 00:51:45,519
Or is there?

-[grunts]
-[music stops]

505
00:51:52,984 --> 00:51:55,362
Yulia finally gets the message.

[melancholic music playing]

507
00:51:58,198 --> 00:52:01,201
Leaving the distracted Titan
to his thoughts,

508
00:52:01,284 --> 00:52:05,080
anxious, perhaps,
about the possibility of a challenge

509
00:52:05,163 --> 00:52:08,250
from a more powerful flanged male.

510
00:52:08,333 --> 00:52:10,627

Eden has found her own medang baru fruits.

00:52:21,888 --> 00:52:24,099
[upbeat music playing]

514
00:52:24,891 --> 00:52:28,770
By her side is Sulli, the unflanged.

515
00:52:32,691 --> 00:52:35,443
His perseverance appears to have paid off.

516
00:52:46,371 --> 00:52:49,207
To filter out
the fruit's unpalatable bits,

517
00:52:49,291 --> 00:52:52,586
Eden sieves the juice through her fur.

518
00:53:02,429 --> 00:53:07,309
Surprisingly, Sulli uses Eden's fur
for the same job.

519
00:53:10,687 --> 00:53:16,359
But has he overstepped the mark
with this apparently intimate action?

520
00:53:23,909 --> 00:53:27,329
She puts a little distance between them.

521
00:53:37,547 --> 00:53:38,798
Sulli follows.

522
00:53:43,178 --> 00:53:45,472
He's nothing if not persistent.

523
00:53:53,647 --> 00:53:58,818
Researchers at Suaq have always known
Sulli to be a friendly, playful character…

524
00:54:01,821 --> 00:54:05,033
but he's not reading the signs from Eden.

525
00:54:07,285 --> 00:54:08,328
[shrieking]

526
00:54:19,839 --> 00:54:23,677
What might be playfulness
starts to look more threatening,

527
00:54:24,386 --> 00:54:26,888
and Eden wants no more of it.

528
00:54:26,972 --> 00:54:29,266
[thunder rumbling]

529
00:54:33,979 --> 00:54:35,397
[music fades out]

530
00:54:36,273 --> 00:54:40,819
Not even a sudden rainstorm
can dampen Sulli's enthusiasm.

531
00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:53,248
It's all too much for Eden.

532
00:54:53,331 --> 00:54:55,583
[thunderclap]

533
00:54:59,045 --> 00:55:02,424
And Sulli is left alone to ponder.

534
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,678
[introspective music playing]

535
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,896

[orangutan calling]

540
00:56:22,587 --> 00:56:28,134
The long calls of mature males
are as individual as fingerprints,

541
00:56:28,802 --> 00:56:31,179
and this one isn't Titan's.

542
00:56:36,976 --> 00:56:40,188
[calling continues]

543
00:56:48,822 --> 00:56:51,366
It's another flanged male,

544
00:56:51,449 --> 00:56:54,160
and one with fresh scars of battle.

545
00:56:55,328 --> 00:56:58,623
[deep breathing]

546
00:57:01,084 --> 00:57:03,253
This is Rakus.

547
00:57:03,336 --> 00:57:06,965
Ten months ago, he was a subordinate male.

548
00:57:08,299 --> 00:57:11,136
Since then, a huge surge of hormones

549
00:57:11,219 --> 00:57:15,890
has caused him to nearly double
his size and grow cheek pads.

550
00:57:17,392 --> 00:57:20,854
[deep breathing]

551
00:57:21,479 --> 00:57:24,357
-Rakus now wants the top spot.
-[branches cracking]

552
00:57:25,608 --> 00:57:29,070
but he hasn't yet seen off
his current opponent.

553
00:57:30,238 --> 00:57:31,489
It's Titan.

554
00:57:32,323 --> 00:57:35,660
-[calling]
-[dramatic music playing]

555
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:52,927
[calling continues]

556
00:58:05,815 --> 00:58:09,194
Titan's title defense could be over.

557
00:58:09,277 --> 00:58:10,695
[music ends]

558
00:58:11,404 --> 00:58:15,074
And Rakus looks like
being the new contender,

559
00:58:15,825 --> 00:58:18,119
though it has come at a cost.

560
00:58:18,203 --> 00:58:19,996
[tense music playing]

561
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:21,748
He has a badly cut hand…

562
00:58:21,831 --> 00:58:23,249
[low groan]

563
00:58:23,333 --> 00:58:24,918
…a broken middle finger…

564
00:58:27,462 --> 00:58:29,130
and a torn face.

565
00:58:35,428 --> 00:58:37,597
These wounds will heal in time,

566
00:58:38,765 --> 00:58:41,684
but his severed thumb
is a different matter.

567
00:58:46,356 --> 00:58:50,860
Despite his injuries,
Rakus must try and stay alert.

568
00:58:54,447 --> 00:58:56,908
Titan could still return.

569
00:58:58,284 --> 00:59:01,120
[bird chirping]

570
00:59:04,874 --> 00:59:06,793
But he can't keep watch forever.

571
00:59:08,253 --> 00:59:10,880
Exhaustion will take its toll.

572
00:59:10,964 --> 00:59:13,132
[tense music continues]

573
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:45,623
[insects buzzing]

574
00:59:50,253 --> 00:59:54,674
Passing overhead is Sulli, the unflanged.

575
00:59:55,883 --> 01:00:00,972
Ten months ago, when Rakus was
still unflanged, the two were friends.

576
01:00:01,055 --> 01:00:02,515
[music becomes suspenseful]

577
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:04,517
Not anymore.

578
01:00:05,184 --> 01:00:07,604
And males challenging for dominance

579
01:00:08,730 --> 01:00:10,690
have a very short fuse.

580
01:00:10,773 --> 01:00:13,651
[dramatic action music playing]

581
01:00:21,159 --> 01:00:21,993
[grunts]

582
01:00:22,785 --> 01:00:27,123
In his haste to give chase,
Rakus makes an error of judgment.

-[branch cracks]
-[loud thud]

[tense music playing]

586
01:00:39,510 --> 01:00:41,054
But he seems okay.

587
01:00:41,137 --> 01:00:43,640
[moody music playing]

588
01:01:11,709 --> 01:01:14,545
He's in desperate need of rest.

589
01:01:14,629 --> 01:01:16,130
[calling]

590
01:01:16,214 --> 01:01:19,384
But even now,
Rakus finds the energy to send out

591
01:01:19,467 --> 01:01:21,928
one more message to the neighborhood.

592
01:01:24,263 --> 01:01:30,144
It's a warning to flanged males,
and an invitation to adult females.

593
01:01:31,020 --> 01:01:34,774
[animals chittering]

594
01:01:36,317 --> 01:01:38,319

[dramatic music playing]

596
01:01:46,911 --> 01:01:51,374
Old Friska is the first
to respond to Rakus's call.

597
01:01:55,044 --> 01:01:56,045
[branch cracking]

598
01:01:57,588 --> 01:01:59,549
[music becomes tense]

01:01:59,632 --> 01:02:02,051
[calling]

600
01:02:02,135 --> 01:02:06,222
The sound of her moving
in the trees above sets him off again.

601
01:02:10,017 --> 01:02:12,854
He doesn't yet realize it's Friska.

602
01:02:12,937 --> 01:02:14,897
[continues calling]

603
01:02:20,653 --> 01:02:23,448
[melancholy music playing]

604
01:02:30,705 --> 01:02:33,541
The two have known each other for years…

605
01:02:36,669 --> 01:02:41,966
though Friska may not have seen Rakus
since he became a flanged male.

606
01:02:43,843 --> 01:02:47,013
But wise old females like Friska

607
01:02:47,096 --> 01:02:51,559
are very good at telling
who the next dominant male will be.

608
01:02:56,355 --> 01:03:01,068
So her visit is a vote of confidence
for the new contender.

609
01:03:04,822 --> 01:03:08,993
And if Friska is to breed again
and have her seventh child,

610
01:03:09,535 --> 01:03:11,829
it's likely to be with him.

611
01:03:14,248 --> 01:03:15,875
[music fades out]

612
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,338

[animals chittering]

614
01:03:25,051 --> 01:03:28,471
Friska's grandson, Emen, is one,

615
01:03:28,554 --> 01:03:31,265
and ready for his next big milestone.

616
01:03:31,349 --> 01:03:33,601
[music becomes playful]

617
01:03:33,684 --> 01:03:36,187
For the first four years of its life,

618
01:03:36,270 --> 01:03:41,400
a baby orang is carried by its mother
wherever she goes through the forest.

619
01:03:42,860 --> 01:03:48,074
But Emen has reached an age when he wants
to explore the world away from Ellie.

620
01:03:48,157 --> 01:03:50,159
[playful music continues]

621
01:04:03,047 --> 01:04:06,592
And he gets an opportunity
whenever she stops.

622
01:04:08,261 --> 01:04:09,220
As now.

623
01:04:28,573 --> 01:04:30,449
[chitters]

624
01:04:31,117 --> 01:04:33,578
It's a long way down.

625
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:37,206
Best hang on tight.

626
01:04:41,502 --> 01:04:43,462
But this playtime is over.

[squeaking]

628
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,761
Now the laws of physics come into play.

629
01:04:52,889 --> 01:04:58,311
Ellie must apply just the right force
to overcome the resistance.

630
01:05:14,911 --> 01:05:16,537
Another opportunity?

631
01:05:20,416 --> 01:05:22,460
Emen slips off again.

632
01:05:23,586 --> 01:05:25,922
[playful music continues]

633
01:05:40,561 --> 01:05:44,857
This may well be the furthest
Emen has been away from his mother.

634
01:05:50,279 --> 01:05:53,950
Three points of contact
are usually recommended…

635
01:05:56,243 --> 01:05:59,705
but which toddler
doesn't push the boundaries?

636
01:06:05,586 --> 01:06:07,129
[insects buzzing]

637
01:06:07,213 --> 01:06:12,176
Emen's moment of freedom,
however, is largely an illusion.

638
01:06:14,136 --> 01:06:15,930
Like mothers the world over,

639
01:06:16,889 --> 01:06:21,185
keeping an eye on baby
is second nature to Ellie.

640
01:06:23,896 --> 01:06:26,399
And when he is bored of going solo,

641
01:06:27,525 --> 01:06:30,903
Mum's body makes an excellent playground.

[soothing music playing]

644
01:06:42,206 --> 01:06:44,792
Eden has returned home.

645
01:06:48,963 --> 01:06:53,300
There are still important things
for Eden to learn from Mother.

646
01:07:03,602 --> 01:07:08,774
Watching Ellie and Emen together
might be the best opportunity Eden has

647
01:07:08,858 --> 01:07:13,404
to see mothering in action
before she has her own baby.

648
01:07:15,531 --> 01:07:17,950
So will her style be…

649
01:07:18,034 --> 01:07:19,285
[Emen exclaims]

650
01:07:19,368 --> 01:07:20,536

[soothing music resumes]

653
01:07:25,124 --> 01:07:27,668
Or the more nurturing kind?

654
01:07:32,465 --> 01:07:34,425
As with all orangs,

655
01:07:35,551 --> 01:07:38,554
watching and learning
will be key to Eden's success.

656
01:07:45,019 --> 01:07:46,979
[upbeat music playing]

657
01:07:47,063 --> 01:07:51,734
And if there's one thing that gets
the attention of all adult orangs,

658
01:07:52,318 --> 01:07:53,527
it's a tree hole.

659
01:07:56,363 --> 01:07:58,866
Things live in them,

660
01:07:58,949 --> 01:08:02,328
sometimes edible things.

661
01:08:03,287 --> 01:08:05,664
So it's worth checking out every hole.

[insects buzzing]

663
01:08:11,962 --> 01:08:14,840
And when something is
buzzing around the opening,

664
01:08:14,924 --> 01:08:16,675
such as stingless bees,

665
01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:18,010
it's even better.

666
01:08:21,013 --> 01:08:24,225
Because that means grubs or honey.

667
01:08:25,017 --> 01:08:27,019
[upbeat music continues]

668
01:08:35,361 --> 01:08:40,282
Small holes require stick tools
to reach what's inside,

669
01:08:41,075 --> 01:08:42,284
but not this one.

670
01:08:53,754 --> 01:08:56,173
Mmm, finger-licking good.

671
01:09:06,684 --> 01:09:08,018
And the best thing,

672
01:09:08,978 --> 01:09:12,690
it's a honey meal with no stings attached.

673
01:09:16,443 --> 01:09:20,739
Unfortunately for Eden,
sharing isn't an option.

674
01:09:24,827 --> 01:09:27,705
Eden must look for her own honey pot.

675
01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:32,793
And she knows of one.

-[upbeat music continues]
-[bees buzzing]

677
01:09:43,888 --> 01:09:47,474
Like Ellie's,
insects are buzzing around the entrance.

678
01:09:49,518 --> 01:09:50,686
A good sign.

679
01:09:52,563 --> 01:09:57,026
But these look bigger and more menacing.

680
01:10:04,658 --> 01:10:07,244
It's time for a smash and grab.

[music becomes lively]

682
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:16,754
The thing about
sticking your hand into a wasp's nest

683
01:10:18,255 --> 01:10:20,799
is that you make them very angry.

684
01:10:31,810 --> 01:10:36,482
The handful of grubs
may not have been worth all the stings.

685
01:10:38,984 --> 01:10:41,111
She'll know better next time.

686
01:10:45,574 --> 01:10:47,743
[music becomes gentle and heartfelt]

687
01:10:52,414 --> 01:10:56,627
Several months have passed
since Rakus's fight with Titan.

688
01:10:59,004 --> 01:11:01,548
His eye wound has healed nicely.

689
01:11:04,635 --> 01:11:09,807
And he has established his status
as the undisputed king of Suaq.

690
01:11:12,059 --> 01:11:15,229
To remain on top,
he must stay fit and strong.

691
01:11:17,398 --> 01:11:20,109
High-protein termites will help.

692
01:11:22,736 --> 01:11:27,074
Though working around rotten wood
comes with risks.

Ouch!

696
01:11:41,171 --> 01:11:43,841
It's not a good start to Rakus's day,

697
01:11:44,425 --> 01:11:48,178
but a sore head can feel better
after a cool drink,

698
01:11:49,555 --> 01:11:52,683
and in this forest,
that's not difficult to find.

The forest's natural water pots.

Each contains a mixture of rainwater
and partially digested insects.

704
01:12:19,710 --> 01:12:20,753
Nice!

705
01:12:34,266 --> 01:12:40,397
As the now dominant male,
Rakus' life will never be the same again.

706
01:12:40,898 --> 01:12:43,067
[contemplative music playing]

707
01:12:44,401 --> 01:12:47,738
He will form relationships
with neighborhood females

708
01:12:47,821 --> 01:12:49,448
like Friska and Ellie.

709
01:12:52,242 --> 01:12:55,287
But he will shun all other orangutans.

710
01:13:03,128 --> 01:13:05,798
Yet, as the established king,

711
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:11,845
his very presence will stop
unflanged males from developing flanges.

712
01:13:15,557 --> 01:13:21,480
And this will extend his reign,
which could last as long as ten years.

713
01:13:23,357 --> 01:13:24,942
[music stops]

714
01:13:25,692 --> 01:13:27,528
[heartfelt music playing]

715
01:13:27,611 --> 01:13:30,364
Things have also moved on for Eden.

716
01:13:33,409 --> 01:13:35,911
She is fashioning a stick tool…

717
01:13:40,541 --> 01:13:44,002
to try and reach whatever is in this hole.

718
01:13:47,673 --> 01:13:52,469
For the very first time,
she's figured out how to use a tool

719
01:13:52,553 --> 01:13:55,931
without her mother,
Ellie, showing her how.

720
01:13:57,349 --> 01:14:01,353
This one, however,
hasn't produced the right result.

721
01:14:02,688 --> 01:14:05,065
She needs a rethink.

722
01:14:12,698 --> 01:14:15,617
She's really trying to solve the problem.

723
01:14:18,328 --> 01:14:21,457
So could this vine do the trick?

724
01:14:50,027 --> 01:14:52,446
[uplifting music playing]

725
01:14:58,035 --> 01:14:59,620
The stick is longer,

726
01:15:01,038 --> 01:15:03,499
but perhaps it's still not long enough.

727
01:15:06,543 --> 01:15:11,048
It will be a few years
before Eden is an accomplished tool user,

728
01:15:12,216 --> 01:15:16,803
but this skill is a major milestone
in her own journey.

729
01:15:20,516 --> 01:15:25,646
A sure sign that she's ready
for an independent life in the jungle.

730
01:15:29,942 --> 01:15:32,861
There will be
other challenges ahead for Eden,

731
01:15:33,445 --> 01:15:37,658
but the biggest challenge for her
and all the neighborhood orangs

732
01:15:37,741 --> 01:15:41,078
will come from
the world beyond their boundaries.

733
01:15:41,161 --> 01:15:43,413
[music becomes heartfelt]

734
01:15:47,876 --> 01:15:53,924
When old Friska was Eden's age,
orangutans were found across Sumatra.

735
01:15:56,218 --> 01:15:57,636
Not now.

736
01:15:58,845 --> 01:16:00,347
In the last 20 years,

737
01:16:00,430 --> 01:16:06,270
a staggering 80% of the world's
orangutan jungles have gone.

738
01:16:08,188 --> 01:16:14,361
So will Suaq's forest last long enough
for Pepito to make a long call?

739
01:16:18,073 --> 01:16:21,368
Or for Eden to raise her own family?

740
01:16:27,332 --> 01:16:29,501
With their long education,

741
01:16:30,294 --> 01:16:36,592
these slow-growing apes cannot cope
with rapid changes to their habitat.

742
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,764
Today, only the narrow Limbang River

743
01:16:42,848 --> 01:16:47,561
stands between Eden's home
and relentless human development.

744
01:16:49,813 --> 01:16:53,066
But as long as Suaq's forest
remains protected,

745
01:16:53,775 --> 01:17:00,240
the story of these remarkable relatives
of ours will continue for generations yet.

746
01:17:01,575 --> 01:17:05,412
That, surely, is not too much to hope for.

747
01:17:05,495 --> 01:17:07,164
[music fades]

748
01:17:08,999 --> 01:17:11,251
[mysterious music playing]

749
01:17:12,210 --> 01:17:16,757
[orangutan calling]

750
01:18:04,513 --> 01:18:07,015
[lively music playing]

751
01:18:32,541 --> 01:18:34,543
[music ends]
