Movie data: IMDB
Written and presented by David Attenborough, Life in Cold Blood tells the epic story of the most enduringly successful animals ever to walk on land – reptiles and amphibians. The very latest technology enables extraordinary and previously unseen behavior to be captured in intimate detail, overturning the myth that cold blooded life is slow, solitary and primitive, and revealing these creatures to be as dramatic, social, sophisticated and passionate as warm blooded animals.
As with most Attenborough specials, he let’s the animals “speak” for themselves. He is not didactic, just soberly matter of fact beneath his normal ebullient enthusiasm. The golden frogs, the giant sea turtles, the outrageously colored chameleons—they are their own best advocates, if only we’d open our eyes to truly see them.

Life in Cold Blood continues the quality of the other Attenborough series, and fans of those will certainly pick this up. I find my jaw tends to drop open in awe while watching these shows.
