Jungle Deep - Episode 18 The Golden Lion Tamarin with Stephanie Arne of the Honolulu Zoo

Update: 2013-04-20

Description

We have our field correspondent Stephanie Arne, from the Honolulu Zoo, with us today to talk to us about a gorgeous, and extremely rare little primate from the rain forests of Brazil, called the Golden Lion Tamarin. They once roamed the vast forest that stretched from the Atlantic coast to the lnland mountain range of Serra do Mar. They are highly adapted to their environment, which is one reason for concern: fully 99% of their original primary forests has been cut down for agriculture and housing construction. How many are left? Can they be brought back? How do they live and reproduce? We will learn much about these delightful golden creatures.

In addition, we are going to hear some rainforest music from Dr. Jones' collection - 2 tracks from "Cusco - Apurimac ll, Return to Ancient America", the 1994 album by Michael Holm & Kristian Shultze. As our jungle species for today is South American, so is our music tropical American. Notice the beautiful pan flutes indicative of the people of the American tropical rain forests.
