David Attenborough introduces us to the most diverse group of animals ever to live on Earth, from the smallest - the two-inch Pygmy Shrew, to the largest - the Blue Whale; from the slowest - the sloth, to the swiftest - the cheetah; from the least attractive - the Naked Mole Rat, to the most irresistible - a human baby. This is the story of 4,000 species which have outlived the dinosaurs and conquered the farthest places on earth. With bodies kept warm by thick coats of fur and their developing young protected and nourished within their bodies, they have managed to colonise every part of the globe, dry or wet, hot or cold. |
