BBC - The Life of Mammals (2002) Part 9 Social Climbers

David Attenborough presents a nature documentary series looking at why mammals are the most successful creatures on the planet. Episode 10 not broadcast.

Part 9 Social Climbers

David looks at monkeys. This group started its life in the tree-tops and this is where we join the capuchin, whose acute vision and lively intelligence helps them find clams in the mangrove swamps of Costa Rica and crack them open on tree-anvils. The swamps are also full of biting insects, but the monkeys rub themselves with a special plant that repels them.
