Island of the Monsoon
From Cloud to Coast
S1 E5:
Eight thousand feet above sea level in Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands, monsoon mists embark on a hundred-mile journey, from the wind-swept cloud forest, through lush tropical rainforests below, to salty mangroves rooted at the edge of the Indian Ocean. We follow the waters’ path through the many changing island habitats, and meet the creatures who call these regions home, including the bent-toed geckos in the cool mountains, the Malabar giant squirrels in the humid jungle’s canopy, the mudskipper fish on the coastline, and more.
