From the award-winning BBC Natural History Unit, makers of Planet Earth and the Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this is the original UK broadcast version of Life, with narration by renowned naturalist David Attenborough and music by Oscar and Emmy winning composer George Fenton Challenges of life : In nature, living long enough to breed is a monumental struggle. Many animals and plants go to extremes to give themselves a chance. Uniquely, three brother cheetahs band together to bring down a huge ostrich. Aerial photography reveals how bottlenosed dolphins trap fish in a ring of mud, and time-lapse camerasw show how the Venus flytrap ensnares insect victims. The strwberry frog carries a tadpole high into a tree and drops it in a water-filled bromeliad. The frog must climb bacj from the ground everyday to feed it. Fledging chinstrap penguins undertake a heroic and tragic journey through the broken ice to get out to sea. Many can barely swim. Reptile and Amphibians : Reptiles and amphibians look like hang-overs from the past. But they overcome their shortcomings through amazing innovation. The pebble load turns into a rubber ball to roll and bounce from its enemies. Extreme slow-motion shows how a Jesus Christ lizard runs on water, and how a chameleon fires an extendable tongue at its prey with unfailing accuracy. The camera dives with a Niuean sea snake, which must breed on land but avoids predators by swimming to an air bubble at the end of an underwater tunnel. In a TV first, Komodo dragons hunt a huge water-buffalo, biting it to inject venom, then waiting for weeks until it dies. Ten dragons strip the carcass to the bone in four hours. (Taken from the case) Mammals: Mammals dominate the planet. They do it through having warm blood and by the care they lavish on their young. Weeks of filming in the bitter Antartic 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 produces stunning images of millions of migrating bats as they converge on fruiting trees in Zambia, and how-motion cameras reveal how a mother rufous sengi exhaust a chasing lizard. A gyroscopically stabilised camera moves alongside migrating caribou, and a diving team swim among the planet's biggest fight as male humpback whales battle for a female.
