Over 80 per cent of Madagascar's animals and plants are found nowhere else on Earth. Discover what made Madagascar so different from the rest of the world, and how evolution ran wild here.
This episode focuses on the desert-like west and south of Madagascar. It might not rain there for nine months of the year and some years not at all. To live here, you have to be a specialist.
The wildlife featured this week includes cyanide-eating lemurs, cannibalistic frogs, carnivorous plants, tadpole-eating wasps, tunnel-digging chameleons and house-proud flycatchers.
The cameras observe lemurs in their natural habitat, male red giraffe-necked weevils fighting one other and the courting rituals of chameleons.
