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. |
