Lyrics

[00:00.00] Remote and isolated,
[00:03.41] the islands of the South Pacific have a life of their own.
[00:08.37] Animals have been living in seclusion for so long,
[00:11.37] they've evolved in the most curious and surprising ways.
[00:15.64] But island living can carry a high price.
[00:19.13] Recently, some dramatic changes have been sweeping through these strange islands.
[00:24.63] At the western limits of the Pacific ocean,
[00:26.92] this is New Guinea, the world's largest tropical island.
[00:32.20] In these isolated jungles,
[00:34.70] there are creatures only recently discovered by westerners and mountains that they have never visited.
[00:42.56] This is the home of a mammal first seen by scientists as recently as 1994.
[00:48.66] Even the locals rarely see it, and it has never been filmed until now.
[00:55.11] It lives in trees, but it's not a monkey.
[00:58.38] Primates never made the jump across the water to this island.
[01:01.88] This is a rare glimpse of an almost unknown island oddity - the dingiso.
