Gangs of Lemur Island
Overview
Set against the stunning backdrop of Madagascar's Berenty Reserve, four rival gangs of ring-tailed lemurs vie for dominance over territory and resources. Intriguingly, the most intense rivalries often emerge from within the tribes themselves. This gripping five-part documentary series immerses viewers in "Lemur Island," home to nearly half of the global wild lemur population, all competing for survival on less than one square mile of land. As alliances shift and leaders face challenges, the lemurs navigate a ruthless environment where only the strongest thrive.
