DVD Review
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 Life in the Undergrowth, this series will change the audience's perceptions forever - giving them a new, warm-hearted relationship with Life in Cold Blood. With this series, David Attenborough completes his overview of life on the planet.
User Reviews
Variety of cold-blooded species in their element - Rating: 5/5
The camera work gives a sense of proximty to the animals on-screen, and the animals' behaviors will draw you in emotionally. Their methods of communication, transportation, procreation and hunting will dazzle. To anyone that believes animals--even those with cold blood--have personalities, here is proof.
Great for the reptile lover - Rating: 5/5
Very high quality DVD that is a great gift the any reptile lover, if you love the "Plant Earth" BBC series than you will really enjoy this. It was fascinating and I learned a lot. I consider myself knowledgeable about reptiles and I still learned quite a bit!
Truly breathtaking - Rating: 5/5
"Life in cold blood" is truly breathtaking. This is a must have for any wildlife dvd library. Very educational and of high quality. The beauty in
the close ups of the reptiles are stunning. My son has found this film so entertaining that he's watched it so many times I've lost count.
Who needs Harry Potter? - Rating: 5/5
We have 6 and 8 year old boys. While the tendency is for boys to like snakes and lizards more than girls, I am sure this would appeal to all. Don't be put off by the fact that there are no cartoon characters narrating. This is part of its appeal. The film is absolutely interesting for kids and adults. It is interesting, fact-filled, clear, and direct. It moves along at just the right pace. This tape, along with many other BBC earth series films, is one of the first the kids grab.
David Attenborough does it again! - Rating: 5/5
I got this set for my husband who has all the other David Attenborough collections. We all sat and watched it together and we all loved it. This one didn't gross me out like "Life in the Undergrowth" did. Looking close up at bugs grossed me out, especially watching slugs. This one was more about cold blooded animals, and their way of life. The Attenborough walk through, is wonderful. I am really glad I got this DVD. We now own Attenborough's complete set of Mammals, Birds, Undergrowth, Blue Planet and this wonderful set too. You can't go wrong buying any of these wonderful sets of educational information. Our whole family loves these DVD's.
