Gangs of Lemur Island - Season 1 - Eps 1: Battle Lines
It's September, near the end of a long, punishing dry season in southern Madagascar's Berenty Reserve, and two troops of ring-tailed lemurs are locked in a rivalry over land. On one side is the disciplined Ruins Gang, strictly run by the battle-hardened Crystal. On the other side is the Museum Gang, an easygoing troop of 14, led by their inexperienced queen, Kati. With no rain in sight and food getting scarce, tensions are rising. Having nowhere else to turn, the gangs begin to cross lines in the sand. The next breach could spark a war.

Synopsis
Among the forests and ruins of Madagascar's Berenty Reserve, four gangs of ring-tailed lemurs are locked in a feud over territory, resources, and power... and often the fiercest conflicts are happening within the tribes. This five-part series places you in the heart of "Lemur Island," where half of the world's wild population of lemurs share a fragment of land less than a square mile. Here, battle lines are drawn and crossed, leaders are trusted and tested, and gang members thrive or perish in the harsh extremes of this intense environment.
