S1, EP1 "A Mother's Tale"

When a deadly drought hits Monkey Island, one macaque mother must battle the odds to find food for her son in the crucial first few weeks of his life.

Deep in the tropical forests of Sri Lanka lies a hidden jewel called Monkey Island. In the verdant jungle lives troops of toque macaques, purple-faced leaf monkeys, and tufted grey langurs -- all of these call the crumbling ruins of ancient temples their home. The abundance of fruit provides feasts galore for the foragers -- but even in this seeming paradise, danger lurks. These monkeys deal with unpredictability -- from weather to raising their young in a place where danger lurks around every tree.
