Courtship in the rainforests

The animal kingdom's tricks to attract a mate, medical advances in treating spinal injuries, and the beauty of the island of Procida. In the third episode of "Superquark," the BBC documentary on the game of seduction continues its journey through the rainforests. In the most densely populated environment on the planet, where standing out is not easy, winning requires standing out from the crowd. Some put on a show, others fight vigorously, but there are those who more cunningly use teamwork to win a mate. Adult chimpanzees fight with rivals to maintain their position as the dominant male, while younger and weaker chimpanzees play cunning, displaying an unusual kindness that proves to be a surefire way to win the favor of females.
