Life in cold blood.

Hey guys!

I have recently followed a David Attenborough series where he searches and discovers reptiles and amphibians ( Some haven't even been photgraphed before ). The interesting thing is, he shows their natural habitat, how they breed, how they develop and so on... The photography was spectacular of every aspect.

Just wondering if any of you guys had seen this

You can watch them online :

He also showed Lonesome George, the last tortoise of his kind

He's in his 80's...

You mean you British can watch them online... Dang it. I wanted to see this right now. Now I'll have to either get it from MV Group or Netflix.

There are other ways, as I neither downloaded it or ordered it. However, for simplicity's sake, if you are eager to see it, they are available for download by torrent.

I dislike those online tv-links-type sites. The quality is usually terrible.

I'll just order it on Netflix when they get it. If that takes too long, then yeah, I'll go the torrent route possibly.

Couldn't wait for Netflix to get it. I had to watch it now.

I saw the first two episodes, and it just reestablished the fact that anything with Attenborough is top quality cinematography. You don't get any better nature footage than in all of his series. Has anyone ever managed to get the unfreezing of red-eared slider babies on tape? Or that crazy rearing technique the mother caecilian used? If it has, it probably wasn't shot that well.

I think I'm going to buy the Life series soon.
