In the arid lands of Madagascar, Africa, there are two female ring-tailed lemurs that the program has been following for the past 11 years. The two, named Aliko and Lola, are not related by blood, but they have always helped each other out.
This time, a closer look reveals the unchanging bond between the two. Lola supports Ariko, who gave birth at an advanced age and is in a difficult situation where she is not producing enough breast milk. Meanwhile, Ariko risks her own safety to drive away a natural enemy that is targeting Lola's baby. This is the miraculous story of friendship.
