TRANSCRIPT
- [Narrator] In these forests, for one so small, danger lurks around every corner.
His scent has been picked up by a genet.
One of the few predators adept enough in the trees to catch a bush baby.
Its flexible, slender body allows it to creep closer to its prey.
(jungle sounds) Its tail provides vital balance.
If it gets within striking distance, it can kill with a single bite to the neck.
(jungle sounds) But it makes one tiny slip.
(jungle sounds) Saved by a super-powered jump.
Using stored energy in his tendons, the bush baby leaps 30 times his body length.
