Creatures of the Mangrove - Creatures of the Mangrove

Journey to the tiny island of Siarau on the northwest coast of Borneo, where a tidal mangrove forest survives. Caught between land and sea, the forest and it's creatures have adapted in bizarre ways to the daily flooding of their habitat. Tree roots grow above ground in search of oxygen; mudskipper fish have evolved without lungs and can live out of water; and the highly adaptive proboscis monkey is a skillful swimmer and climber. Experience a saltwater wilderness still untouched by man in Creatures of the Mangrove.
