Investigative guides which reveal amazing facts about members of the animal kingdom. Today's focus is on Larry, an eight-month-old Hanuman Langur monkey who lives with his family in the middle of the ancient city of Jodhpur, the Blue City. The city is home to more than 800,000 people but the monkeys live up on the roofs of their houses. The monkey troop is centred on females - mothers and babies, aunts and grannies. They stay in this family their whole lives, up to 20 years.

Larry's dad is the Lord of the Blue City, the only adult male monkey in the troop and the father of all its youngsters. Larry will have to learn to steal food at the market, to dodge traffic and the threat of electrocution. Another threat is a tough bachelor gang of males living outside the city. Their leader wants to take over the Blue City. Can Larry's father survive this challenge?
