In telling the epic story of the reptiles and amphibians David Attenborough completes his overview of life on the planet. Extraordinary and previously unseen behaviour is captured in intimate detail, overturning the myth that cold blooded life is slow, solitary and primitive, 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.

Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.
