In Southern Asia’s lush forests one remarkable group of trees
cast their pervasive shadows over the extraordinary array of plants
and animals living below.
The equatorial rainforests of South East
Asia are amongst the tallest and richest forests on earth towering
up to 80 meters high. The canopy is dominated by a single family
of forest giants called dipterocarps, which cast enormous influence
on the huge diversity of plants and animals living in their shadow.
While the bottom-dwelling plants must battle for their tiny share of
the light, the giant towering trunks have affected the animals
here too - forcing them to become acrobats, leapers and gliders
while crossing the gaps between them.
