Life in Cold Blood

Just finished watching a spellbinding 5 part, 5-hour documentary on reptiles and amphibians by the incomparable David Attenborough: Life in Cold Blood.

This is his last major documentary series (the previous one was the excellent, award-winning Planet Earth) and it's well worth your time--as are all the documentaries in the Life series.

Just one of the many astonishing facts on display in this marvelous production: Shingleback males and females often reunite after the first time they mate, returning to each other every year for up to 20 years, a rare example of social monogamy in lizards.
