10:58,304 -- 00:11:02,664

There's water trapped in its leaves

that makes it a perfect nursery pool.

70

00:
11:22,230 -- 00:11:24,588

She has to leave him

because she still has 4 more tadpoles

71

00:
11:24,750 -- 00:11:25,829

waiting on the forest floor,

72

00:
11:25,990 -- 00:11:29,310

and each must be carried up

to its own private nursery.

73

00:
12:00,237 -- 00:12:01,997

There's nothing to eat in these pools,

74

00:
12:03,519 -- 00:12:07,558

so she feeds each tadpole

with one of her own unfertilized eggs.

75

00:
12:18,442 -- 00:12:21,041

A single egg won't sustain

a hungry tadpole for long,

76

00:
12:22,723 -- 00:12:23,762

so every few days,

77

00:
12:23,923 -- 00:12:26,403

she has to climb back up

to each youngster...

78

00:
12:29,284 -- 00:12:31,163

and do it all over again.

79

00:
12:48,288 -- 00:12:51,728

One day, this fine young frog

emerges from his pool,

80

00:
12:52,809 -- 00:12:55,128

and leaves his devoted mother behind.

81

00:
13:03,052 -- 00:13:04,371

(growling)

82

00:
13:11,533 -- 00:13:13,013

(adult gorilla snorting)

83

00:
13:14,414 -- 00:13:16,013

There are fathers

who do their bit, too.

84

00:
13:16,174 -- 00:13:19,574

A male silverback gorilla

left in charge.

85

00:
13:21,535 -- 00:13:23,615

(upbeat music)

86

00:
13:25,656 -- 00:13:27,056

(snorting)

87

00:
13:29,256 -- 00:13:32,016

but he's not what you might call

a hands-on dad.

88

00:
13:33,138 -- 00:13:34,577

(snorting)

89

00:
13:35,338 -- 00:13:37,178

(growling)

90

00:
13:44,341 -- 00:13:46,220

(birds chirping)

91

00:
13:55,903 -- 00:13:57,142

(distant growling)

92

00:
14:02,944 -- 00:14:17,347

(growling)

93

00:
14:29,270 -- 00:14:30,430

babysitting.

94

00:
14:31,231 -- 00:14:33,110

lt's so exhausting.

95

00:
14:35,711 -- 00:14:37,311

(growling)

96

00:
14:41,953 -- 00:14:43,313

(screaming)

97

00:
14:45,113 -- 00:14:47,153

(distant whooping)

98

00:
14:49,075 -- 00:14:50,314

(distant thumping)

99

00:
14:53,836 -- 00:14:56,275

That sound is another male.

100

00:
14:56,916 -- 00:14:59,275

A rival. A challenge.

101

00:
14:59,437 -- 00:15:01,436

(whooping)

102

00:
15:05,678 -- 00:15:06,918

(echoing sound effects)

103

00:
15:08,119 -- 00:15:10,518

The rival would steal his territory,

104

00:
15:11,239 -- 00:15:15,399

and that would be the end of his family

and everything he holds dear.

105

00:
15:15,561 -- 00:15:17,480

(distant whooping)

106

00:
15:18,441 -- 00:15:19,401

(distant thumping)

107

00:
15:28,243 -- 00:15:29,602

(whooping)

108

00:
15:34,765 -- 00:15:36,244

(echoing sound effects)

109

00:
15:40,045 -- 00:15:41,325

No reply.

110

00:
15:42,446 -- 00:15:44,285
