How a Baby Spider Monkey Survives the Wild | KALU: Growing Up Wild (2023) - Full Short Documentary

KALU: Growing Up Wild is a heartwarming short wildlife documentary following the journey of a baby spider monkey as he navigates life in the lush rainforests of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

Born into a world full of danger and wonder, Kalu must quickly learn the essential skills to survive in the wild: climbing through the forest canopy, foraging for food, avoiding predators, and communicating with his troop. This cinematic story captures the challenges and milestones of Kalu’s early life, offering an intimate look into the world of New World monkeys and the rich tropical ecosystem they call home.

Told through breathtaking visuals and narrated by George McGavin, renowned British entomologist and naturalist, the film is both an emotional coming-of-age tale and a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species and rainforest habitats.
