  • Life-Nurturing Driftwood - Tama River, Japan
    Saturday, May 11
    9:10 pm on NHK 9.4
    A trip to document nature's rebound after a major typhoon adds to our continuing series highlighting the Tama River Triangle, a wildlife kingdom in the Tokyo metropolis. A massive dead tree deposited on a sandbank provides the perfect vantage point for many birds of prey while the waters at its base teem with fish. Entering a nearby bamboo grove, we encounter a predator's feeding grounds as well as a tree trunk spanning a stream that serves as a bridge for Japanese weasels and other animals.

  • King of the Troop - Japanese Macaque
    Saturday, May 18
    9:10 pm on NHK 9.4
    Macaques can be found all across Japan. We followed a troop on a small island in the country's northeast and discovered some amazing greeting rituals and dietary habits. Also on display were the power dynamics found in any tight-knit group. The alpha male role has its privileges but breeding preference is not always one of them. And no matter how strong a macaque can be, it pays to have friends. Close observation revealed that all the infighting and other drama are not so different from our own.

Those showing initiative are soon encouraged to leave and become independent. The timid variety may stay with the parents and help raise the next generation.
