Manatees are large aquatic mammals that share the same ancestry as elephants. Their charm and gentle nature has endeared them to the locals, but there are hidden dangers in living so close to humans. Part Two - Elephant Seal: Masters of the Beach On a beach in Patagonia a large bull elephant seal presides over his harem of one hundred and twenty females. His job is to protect his cows and control the borders of his harem from male intruders. Part Three - Barbirusa: Unmasking a Legend Two hundred and fifty years ago a Dutch explorer drew a picture of a strange animal he had glimpsed in the remote jungles on the Indonesian Island of Sulawesi. It had the head of a pig, the body of a deer and four bizarrely-shaped tusks. It was called the barbirusa. Part Four - Proboscis Monkey: Big Noses of Borneo Pukuri is a male proboscis monkey in his prime. He"s leader of the troop, has lots of wives and some very cute blue-faced babies. But life in the jungle is far from quiet - there are bachelors out to steal his wives, death-defying river crossings to contend with and even the digestion of poisonous food.© 2003 & 2004 NHK - All Rights Reserved NTSC Widescreen - 105 minutes - Not Available for Sale in Japan
