Summary:
"Available on Blu-ray for the first time. David Attenborough's remarkable 1990 landmark series has been re-mastered from the original film to give a greater clarity and richness of colour. Examining animal behaviour from birth to adulthood, twelve 50 minute episodes each feature a different aspect of the journey through life; from leaving parents and hunting to making homes and protecting the next generation. EAch day brings a new test: a challenge for even the fittest and best-adapted animal. The series remains a TV classic, renowned for its many incredible wildlife sequences including killer whales beaching to catch sea lions, the mother bat finding her baby among ten million others, the lion who kills the cubs of a rival and the amazing sight of spiny lobsters, who after spawning, form into columns fifty-strong and march away from the coral reef to the floor of the deep sea."--Container.
