Hosted by David Attenborough.
Features: DVD, Widescreen, English, Subtitled
In telling the epic story of the reptiles and amphibians - the most enduringly successful animals ever to walk on land - David Attenborough completes his overview of life on the planet. The very latest technology enables extraordinary and previously unseen behaviour to be captured in intimate detail, overturning the myth that cold blooded life is slow, solitary and primitive and revealing these creatures to be as dramatic, social, sophisticated and passionate as warm blooded animals. As with Life in the Undergrowth, this series will change the audience's perceptions forever - giving them a new, warm-hearted relationship with Life in Cold Blood.
Editor's Note
David Attenborough continues to uncover strange new worlds in the overlooked corners of the animal kingdom with LIFE IN COLD BLOOD. Like LIFE IN THE UNDERGROWTH, this documentary series uses cutting-edge filming techniques to capture Earth's lifeforms in astonishing new ways. Often thought to be primitive and unintelligent, reptiles and amphibians feature some of the most astonishing and varied behavior of all land animals. In this exploration of cold-blooded life that is anything but tepid, tortoises battle, a rare frog communicates by waving, and a cobra spits deadly venom--on Attenborough himself! Included here are all five episodes of the fascinating series: "The Cold-Blooded Truth," "Land Invaders," "Dragons of the Dry," "Sophisticated Serpents," and "Armored Giants."
