David Attenborough makes a world-wide journey of discovery in search of fascinating mammals to illustrate why they are so incredibly successful and diverse. He visits an arctic fox hunting at 20 below zero. In Australia, he watches echidnas and platypus, bizarre mammals that share a remarkable link with reptiles.... they lay eggs! Next we meet marsupials in Australia and Central and South America. A different kind of mammal has come to dominate the rest of the world. Their babies, developing inside the womb, are nurtured through a remarkable organ – the placenta. The warm blooded, furry, mammalian body – in all its multitudinous variations – really is a winning design.
