Madagascar

Documentary60 min per episode

Madagascar’s isolation created a world found nowhere else, and this documentary follows the island’s wildlife to show how that split shaped one of the planet’s most unusual ecosystems. David Attenborough narrates a survey of the island’s rainforests, mountains, coasts, and dry interior, linking its dramatic landscapes to the animals and plants that evolved there. Lemurs, chameleons, and other species appear alongside an explanation of the ancient geological break that separated Madagascar from the rest of the world and allowed life here to develop on its own path.
