Asia's tropical rainforests are remarkable organisms that are home to a rich diversity of animals, including a unique group of orangutans who reveal fascinating newly discovered behaviour by skilfully crafting their own tools.
2. Island Magic
Asia is the continent of islands: at its southernmost limit alone, 30,000 islands are dashed across the watery surface of the world, where isolation has woven evolutionary magic to produce a unique variety of creatures.
