Asian Predators Engage in Head to Head Battle

On the longest day of the year, Asia’s animals have up to four extra hours of daylight in which to survive, searching for food, fighting for dominance and raising their families. From China to Vietnam, sunrise signals bedtime for some, such as the slow loris and the Lyle’s flying fox, for other’s it means it’s time to get up. In the mangroves a troop of long-tailed macaques start the day with a splash, dining on a floating breakfast buffet. While the low tide entices a walking fish onto land. In Thailand, the largest mammals in Asia go head to head in a battle of strength and will. While elsewhere there’s romance in the afternoon air, as Eastern Sarus cranes perform elaborate courtship dances. Witness a day in the life of these extraordinary creatures from dawn to dusk
