Deep in the tropical forests of Sri Lanka lies a hidden jewel called Monkey Island. In the verdant jungle lives troops of toque macaques, purple-faced leaf monkeys, and tufted grey langurs -- all of these call the crumbling ruins of ancient temples their home. The abundance of fruit provides feasts galore for the foragers -- but even in this seeming paradise, danger lurks. These monkeys deal with unpredictability -- from weather to raising their young in a place where danger lurks around every tree.
Three species are forced to adapt and take risks amidst a drought in the temples of Sri Lanka.
When a deadly drought hits Monkey Island, one macaque mother must battle the odds to find food for her son in the crucial first few weeks of his life.
