Charlotte Uhlenbroek presented Jungle on BBC One. Charlotte joined the orang-utans, gibbons, insects, frogs and other creatures that live in the world's jungles - travelling around using ropes and hot-air balloons.
"We are all animals," says Dr Charlotte Uhlenbroek, "and all animals need to communicate."
And that is what Charlotte Uhlenbroek did in a previous TV series Talking with Animals.
"In an attempt to find out what the animals are saying to each other I go swimming with giant cuttlefish and humpback whales, howl with wolves and am bitten by vicious fire ants. I also discover the strange and unexpected ways in which they send messages," says Charlotte of her latest series.
Charlotte was born in London, but spent only 10 days on British soil before her parents moved to Ghana. Her Dutch father was an agricultural specialist with the UN who took his family round the world with him. Her mother is English.
Between the ages of five and fourteen she lived in Kathmandu in Nepal where her love of animals developed. Her family kept an extraordinary menagerie of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and parrots. She used to wander the streets of Kathmandu trying to rescue stray dogs.
Her interest in exotic animals was furthered through a degree in Zoology and Psychology, followed by a PhD in Zoology at the University of Bristol. After university, Charlotte spent four years in the forests of Gombe, Tanzania, studying the communication of wild chimpanzees, under the wing of world-famous Jane Goodall. She lived in a tiny hut on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and spent her days with the chimps in the forest.
