Release Notes



8. "Jungles"

Originally transmitted: 19 November 2006 (UK), 15 April 2007 (US)

The next instalment examines jungles and tropical rainforests. These

environments occupy only 3% of the land yet are home to over half of the world's

species. New Guinea is inhabited by almost 40 kinds of birds of paradise, which

avoid conflict with each other by living in different parts of the island. Some

of their elaborate courtship displays are shown. Within the dense forest canopy

sunlight is prized, and the death of a tree triggers a race by saplings to fill

the vacant space. Figs are a widespread and popular food, and as many as 44

types of bird and monkey have been observed picking from a single tree. The

sounds of the jungle throughout the day are explored, from the early morning

calls of siamangs and orangutans to the nocturnal cacophony of courting tree

frogs. The importance of fungi to the rainforest is illustrated by a sequence of

them fruiting, including a parasite called cordyceps. The mutual benefits of the

relationship between carnivorous pitcher plants and red crab spiders is also

discussed. In the Congo, roaming forest elephants are shown reaching a clearing

to feed on essential clay minerals within the mud. Finally, chimpanzees are one

of the few jungle animals able to traverse both the forest floor and the canopy

in search of food. In Uganda, members of a 150-strong community of the primates

mount a raid into neighbouring territory in order to gain control of it. Planet

Earth Diaries looks at filming displaying birds of paradise, focusing mainly on

the filming of the Six-plumed Bird of Paradise
