DESCRIPTION:LIFE OF MAMMALS, Volume 2 \n\nThis documentary is pure magic. Vast in scope 
 and stunning in imagery and detail, The Life of Mammals is the epic story 
 of 4,000 species that have outlived the dinosaurs and colonized the 
 farthest reaches of the Earth. In this volume about the chisellers, special 
 tools like chisel-sharp front teeth and underground dwelling enable this 
 group of mammals to feast on the toughest roots and seeds. Meat eaters and 
 eaten – predators and prey – must evolve speed, endurance, and 
 maneuverability to outwit each other. With all hunters, the aggression of 
 the kill means the difference between life and death. Omnivores are 
 opportunists who will eat whatever is around at the time, making them 
 highly adaptable. Among this group are some of the most charismatic and 
 widespread mammals on the planet. \n\nA lot of thought went into the 
 content of this film – from spectacular visuals to awesome sound and 
 content structure. It reveals how intricate the web of life on this planet 
 is and how threatened it is. It covers the entire spectrum of mammals in 
 stunning visuals and captivating narration. The filmmaker, David 
 Attenborough, is thorough and scientifically accurate. His screen presence 
 is comforting and reassuring and his lifetime of experience ensures that 
 the content is seamless and exciting. He is able to show us firsts: new 
 behavior and discoveries, sometimes even new animals. What distinguishes 
 mammals from other animals is their ability to adapt. This documentary goes 
 into incredible depth about all the different intricacies of the mammals’ 
 lives and how they coexist with each other and humans. The Life of Mammals 
 is perhaps the best wildlife documentary series ever made. And it stands as 
 a great proof of evolution. Although the film never comes right out and 
 specifically talks about evolution, it is a subtext throughout the film. 
 The mechanics of evolution are so clear that it would be hard to question 
 evolution after watching this film. \n\nBefore and after the film, 
 everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House \n\n$5 donations 
 are accepted \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/12/05/18465326.php
