i was obsessed with frogs as a little boy, amazing how far they climb to find a spot to plonk the little tadpole

[nightcrawler13]

They have some of those red ones (and a couple of blue ones) at the Manchester Museum down Oxford Rd. Tiny little buggers they are and well worth a look if you have a free few mins when you're passing

[Cardboard Box City]

that museum is where i take girls on dates

Not seen any of this yet, Gonna catch up on the i player

Some of this is breathtaking. I watched the two episodes last night, and my favourite bits so far were the flying fish, the dolphins right at the start, the penquin getting eaten by the leopard seal, the seal avoiding the killer whales, the pebble toad, the JC lizard and the tranny snake. Although I'm never a huge fan of the reptile shows anyhow, I really didn't go a bundle on life in cold blood when it was on.

What's next?

Mammals

Mammals dominate the planet. They do it through having warm blood and by the care they lavish on their young.

Weeks of filming in the bitter Antarctic winter reveal how a mother Weddell seal wears her teeth down keeping open a hole in the ice so she can catch fish for her pup.

A powered hot air balloon produced stunning images of millions of migrating bats as they converge on fruiting trees in Zambia.

Slow-motion cameras reveal how a mother rufous sengi exhausts a chasing lizard.

A gyroscopically stabilised camera moves alongside migrating caribou, and a diving team swim among the planet's biggest fight as male humpback whales battle for a female.

Brilliant stuff last night. High Definition is the nuts.

[krisskross]

the meercats falling asleep made me laugh so much...such a geek

[sifi]

I haven't watched it yet, but the mother looking for her calf bit is bound to have my wife in bits, frankly. She was all over the shop with the penquin vs. seal bit in the first one.

Oh dear. There's baby elephants in difficulties in this one too.

[rabid]

The grandmother saves it, though? I think she'll be alright with that. It'll be a roller-coaster, but it'll be alright in the end.

[sifi]

There's a happy ending but it's touch and go. Edge of the seat stuff.
