	BBC - Science & Nature - Mammals - About the TV series
		From the tiniest bat to the massive blue whale, all mammals share the ability to nurture their young on milk and regulate their own temperatures.
		Mammals from tiny shrews to giant anteaters have specialised in eating insects.
		A mammal capable of having a varied diet can be highly adaptable and exploit new environments including the cities where they thrive.

		The series is aptly titled, since it truly does explore "the life of birds." It covers every aspect of a bird's life, right from the egg, to parenthood, and even death.
		The Life of Birds, which was filmed in 1998, but not released on DVD until after The Blue Planet, went unnoticed by me until after I had watched 2003's The Life of Mammals.
		While The Life of Birds is a great series, my expectations were raised because of the quality of The Blue Planet and The Life of Mammals and I was slightly disappointed.

	[No title]
		David Attenborough presents a unique and comprehensive survey of mammals - the most diverse group of animals ever to live on earth: from the tiny two-inch pygmy shrew to the enormous blue whale; from the sloth to the swift cheetah; from the unattractive naked mole-rat to the human baby.
		The Life Of Mammals is the story of 4000 species that have outlived the dinosaurs and conquered the farthest places on earth.
		This winning strategy has been adopted by many mammals -from tiny modern musk shrews that dive underwater to pursue their prey, to giant anteaters, whose large claws and long tongues allow them to dine on great masses of termites.

	"The Life of Mammals" (2002) (mini) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		AS on Feb.5,'03 I sat through the last episode of The Life of Mammals on BBC1, switching off the TV, I was convinced that this had to be the most impressive documentary series on nature and life, more particularly on mammals, for the moment the most successful species on the planet.
		Since the main issue here is the power to adapt of mammals, the focus is, more than ever, on the importance of the environment as the steering force towards either many specialized species or less generalists, continuously flowing from one mode to the other.
		In short, this series is a must for anyone with even a passing interest in the very nature of life in all its diversity or anyone needing arguments to convince people of the why of caring for nature.

		The Life of Mammals describes and illustrates the remarkable diversity of mammals from the giant blue whale to the miniscule pigmy shrew.
		The Life of Mammals is worth getting even if you just like wildlife pictures, for there are many here that you will not have seen before--the Brazilian tapir, the hairy rhino of Sumatra, the Pyrenean desman and more.
		The Life of Mammals will make a perfect gift for anyone from the age of about 10 upwards and hopefully a whole new generation will know what a kinkajou, cacomistle or a uakiri are.

	The Life of Mammals
		By this means life first managed to leave the sea where it evolved from lifeless matter to occupy the adjacent and vacant land.
		From that point on every territory available to life would be subject to the encroachment of animals possessed of the new fangled gear for running their own internal motor instead of being more tightly bound to the free energy of the environment.
		This is precisely why the church of the BBC ensured that is employs a team of craftsmen and priests who are able to deliver a modern secular sermon that can shave as close as a hair's breadth to the truth and still miss it, but beautifully, by a mile.

		Thus opens The Life of Mammals, Attenborough's new magnum opus for the BBC, the latest in an extraordinary line that passes back through Life in the Freezer, Trials of Life and The Life of Birds to Life on Earth.
		He was well on course to become director general, but he knew his passion was for program-making and in 1973 he opted for the life of a freelance writer and presenter.
		The original script for The Life of Mammals included the story of a group of elephants in Kenya which were rumoured to supplement their diet by going into caves at night and getting salt from a layer of rock deep in the mountain.

		The author makes sense of this diversity by dividing mammals into easily understandable groups and explaining how evolution has shaped the lives of each of these groups of mammals.
		As a stand-alone volume, it is a decent popular book on mammals; however, it is so similar to the film that reading the book ruins rather than enhances watching the movie, and vice versa.
		David Attenborough's Life of Mammals compliments a ten-part TV series to air on the Discovery channel which covers mammals of the world and their evolutionary processes.

		Along with other BBC projects, Sir David Attenborough's successes continued with Life in the Freezer, The Private Life of Plants, The Life of Birds, The Blue Planet and, bringing us up to the present date, The Life of Mammals.
		The final three programmes of Life in the Tree, Social Climbers and Food for Thought mainly concentrate on the most important mammals of all - primates.
		Watch in awe as these highly intelligent mammals go about problem solving and living in social groups and then question why we are hunting our closest relatives to the brink of extinction.

		The Life of Mammals is a thorough and entertaining overview of one of evolution's greatest success stories: the rise of mammals.
		Episode 1 begins with the basics in "A Winning Design", clarifying what makes a mammal different from reptiles and birds--no, it isn't egg-laying: both the platypus and the echidna are egg-laying mammals; it's their ability to adapt.
		"Insect Hunters" focuses on mammals who have specifically adapted to eating insects, from the giant anteater and the armoured armadillo to bats, which have evolved into complex and effective hunters.
