STRANGE DAYS ON PLANET EARTH -- LITTLE MOVIES

by National Geographic, Vulcan Productions, narrated by Edward Norton

"Because there are so many of them in relation to the food resources that they need to survive, these animals turn antisocial, they fight a lot whenever there’s an attractive food resource, and so we see their group structure completely breaking down, we don’t record any grooming behavior, the young don’t play, we do not see any of those behaviors. On tiny islands, where there are trapped howler monkey groups, the animals are completely silent." -- John Terborgh, Duke University, "Strange Days From Planet Earth," by National Geographic and Vulcan Productions
