Summary
The warm blooded, furry, milk producing mammalian body is a winning design. In this film, David Attenborough looks at why mammals are the most successful creatures on the planet. He journeys to Australia to studyechidnas and platypus, rare egg-laying species. He looks at how marsupials have adapted to a range of habitats across the continent, highlighting kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies, as well as smaller species. Then he travels to the Amazon to learn about water opossums and canopy marsupials. Finally, he introduces placental mammals through a wildebeest birth on the African plains, and explains differences between womb and pouch development. A BBC Production.
