[00:00.000]Monkeys, like these tamarinds,
[00:02.642]must search the canopy for all kinds of food if they're to survive.
[00:07.153]But across the world's rainforests
[00:13.402]there's one type of fruiting tree
[00:15.399]that always delivers:
[00:17.654]the fig.
[00:18.903]Wherever they grow,
[00:22.153]figs are a magnet for the great diversity of animals.
[00:27.404]In the Amazon,
[00:30.641]the first to appear are the spider monkeys.
[00:34.153]These large primates are big fig eaters.
[00:39.142]But they won't have the tree to themselves for long.
[00:41.902]Others will want a share.
[00:43.902]Like the diminutive emperor tamarinds.
[00:48.403]The tamarinds love figs too,
[00:52.142]but being petite means
[00:54.146]they're easily scared off.
[00:55.652]Squirrel monkeys are also small
[00:58.902]but they have strength in numbers.
[01:01.402]Their timeshare on the tree may be short,
[01:05.652]so their tactics are more smash and grab.
