Features: DVD
In ten parts, the award-winning David Attenborough (2002 Emmy winner for The Blue Planet: Seas of Life; The Life of Birds) introduces us to the most diverse group of animals ever to live on Earth, from the smallest - the two-inch pygmy shrew, to the largest - the blue whale; from the slowest - the sloth, to the swiftest - the cheetah; from the least attractive - the naked mole rat, to the most irresistible - a human baby. The Life of Mammals is the story of 4,000 species that have outlived the dinosaurs and conquered the farthest places on earth. With bodies kept warm by thick coats of fur and their developing young protected and nourished within their bodies, they have managed to colonize every part of the globe, dry or wet, hot or cold. Their adaptations for finding food have also had a profound effect on the way they move, socialize, mate and breed.
Editor's Note
David Attenborough narrates this ambitious nature project containing hours of amazing footage of a variety of mammals in their natural habitat. Created for the BBC on the heels of other Attenborough programs such as THE LIFE OF BIRDS and the Emmy-winning BLUE PLANET, THE LIFE OF MAMMALS offers more jaw-dropping footage and surprising insights into the behavior of animals. This collection presents all four volumes of the program. Please see individual titles for complete synopsis information.
