David Attenborough 's legendary BBC crew explains and shows wildlife all over planet earth in 10 episodes. The first is an overview of the challenges facing life, the others are dedicated to hunting, the deep sea and various major evolutionary groups of creatures: plants, primates and other large sections of other vertebrates and invertebrates.

10 Episodes

  • Challenges of Life
    A1
    Challenges of LifeA look at how some animals and plants go to extremes to give themselves a chance to breed.
  • Reptiles and Amphibians
    A2
    Reptiles and AmphibiansA look at the strategies used by reptiles and amphibians to conquer their shortcomings.
  • Mammals
    A3
    MammalsMammals dominate the planet. They do it through having warm blood and by the care they lavish on their young. Filming in the bitter Antarctic winter reveal how a mother Weddell seal wears her teeth down keeping open a hole in the ice so she can catch fish for her pup. A powered hot air balloon captures stunning images of millions of migrating bats as they converge on fruiting trees in Zambia.
  • Fish
    A4
    FishA look at various fish species including sea dragon, fringehead and Hawaiian goby.
  • Birds
    A5
    BirdsBirds descend from dinosaurs who developed feathers. Those allow most of them to fly, which few other vertebrates can. Some birds gave up flying, like penguins, who specialize in diving and prove feather's fabulous insulating efficiency. Feathers are also key to courting, almost as varied as bird physiognomy and ways of solitary or social life almost all over the globe.
  • Insects
    A6
    InsectsSuper-slow motion shows a bombardier beetle firing boiling liquid at its enemies.
  • Hunters and Hunted
    A7
    Hunters and HuntedThe struggle of life is often based on 'eat (and/)or be eaten'. Therefore evolutionary success is largely defined in terms of skills to survive as prey and/or hunter. Mammals are particularly successful worldwide because the add to anatomical adaptation an intelligence allowing quick and greatly diverse strategies to find preys, shelter, fight (back) etcetera.
  • Creatures of the Deep
    A8
    Creatures of the DeepA look at marine invertebrates, including Humboldt squid, starfish and giant octopuses.
  • Plants
    A9
    PlantsA look at plants and the ingenious and manipulative ways they counter life's challenges.
  • Primates
    A10
    PrimatesPrimates are just like humans - intelligent, quarrelsome, family-centred.
