Summary
Explorer and primatologist Mireya Mayor spends her summers in the rich and biodiverse rainforests of Madagascar tracking down lemurs--performing critical work on two species of highly endangered primates whose habits remain a mystery to biologists: the silky sifaka and the Perrier sifaka. These fascinating lemurs, the smallest of the primates, are known for their large, dark eyes and agile movements through the treetops, where they live, eat, and drink. But because they are geographically confined--and can fit into a teacup--they can be very hard to study. In this program, Mayor tries to confirm her discovery of the mouse lemur, the never-before identified primate species. Watch as she and her team discover this tiny creature in its treetop home and get close enough to study a mysterious species so rare, small, and reclusive, it's hardly been documented before. A National Geographic Production. (23 minutes) A streaming videorecording.
