Meet the Family — Monkey Planet
Zoologist George McGavin explores the world of primates, from strange lemurs and acrobatic monkeys to enigmatic apes. He uncovers the secrets of the primates' success - their survival tactics and physical adaptations - and how their lives mirror those of their human cousins. He begins by meeting an orang-utan that uses soap to improve its personal hygiene, baboons with a taste for flamingos, criminal-minded macaques and fluorescent mandrills that don warpaint before going into battle

But living together often has its problems, like the Barbary macaques in Gibraltar who have their babies stolen by others out to impress their boss, the matriarchal ring-tailed lemur societies where females battle one another with their children in tow, and the hamadryas baboons of Ethiopia where the males rule with an iron fist
