The hidden primates of Singapore's urban jungle
In short: Explore the secret biodiversity thriving on the fringes of modern cities. This video captures rare species and complex ecosystems that persist in unexpected tropical environments.
The footage highlights the Raffles’ banded langur, one of the world's least-known primates. With only a few hundred remaining globally, approximately 60 have established a home within Singapore's rainforests. The video follows a troop of nine as they navigate the high canopy.
Beyond the langurs, the forest reveals a multi-layered world featuring ambush hunting scorpions, flying dragons, weaving ants with their own farms, and the mouse-deer—one of the smallest hoofed animals on Earth.
