Orangutans

Joy and Mark travel to Borneo to explore the reproduction challenges of our close cousin — the orangutan. The largest tree dwellers on the planet, orangutans mate, give birth and raise their young high in the jungle canopy. Joy witnesses the sneaky tactics that the females use to take control of mating and Mark finds out how males fight back.
