Sir David Attenborough reveals how Mammals have conquered the Earth, uncovering the secrets to their success with their winning design, incredible adaptability, unrivalled intelligence, and unique sociability. 66 million years ago, when the reign of the dinosaurs came to an end, mammals were set free to exploit every corner of the planet. Mammals reveals the strategies, behaviours and traits that lie behind the astonishing success of this remarkable group of animals. Above all, the series celebrates the amazing intelligence that enables mammals to learn, remember, problem-solve, parent, and co-operate. Experience the complete six-episode series in a single video, showcasing how mammals have adapted to thrive in every major environment on Earth. They inhabit every ocean and continent, from frozen wildernesses and dense jungles to baking deserts, the dark depths of the ocean, and even the skies above our forests.
For decades, scientists have sought to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA, a fragile genetic blueprint that rarely survives millions of years. Danish biologist Eske Willerslev had a groundbreaking idea: instead of searching for DNA in fossils or ancient tissues, he looked to frozen sediment. Initially dismissed as impossible, his work led to the recovery of genetic traces from over two million years ago, revealing lush ecosystems that existed before the Ice Age. These discoveries offer unprecedented insights into long-extinct species that thrived in warm, verdant Arctic landscapes.
Willerslev’s perseverance revolutionized DNA research, enabling scientists to reconstruct vanished ecosystems and uncover the genetic secrets of ancient worlds. By examining the DNA of past climates, researchers are paving the way to better understand Earth's deep history and adapt to current environmental challenges. This landmark breakthrough demonstrates that ancient DNA acts as a "time machine," allowing humanity to explore its distant past and draw lessons for the future.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jenner Furst, the film delves into the origins of COVID-19, exploring the possibility of a bio-arms race with China and what could be one of the largest cover-ups in modern history. Furst embarks on a quest for answers from Dr. Anthony Fauci, analyzing extensive documents and consulting with scientists, intelligence analysts, former government officials, and whistleblowers. This investigative journey aims to depoliticize a highly controversial topic, presenting an urgent scientific docu-thriller that has been described as "Oppenheimer meets Outbreak." The documentary has garnered attention for its compelling narrative and in-depth investigation. Critics have noted its ability to present complex information in an engaging manner, leaving viewers both informed and intrigued. For those interested in the intricate details of the COVID-19 pandemic's origins and the controversies surrounding it, "Thank You, Dr. Fauci" provides a thought-provoking and meticulously researched perspective.
In fifth episode, you can witness how wildlife ingeniously adapts to the bustling human landscapes of Asia. Marvel at tigers establishing territories within urban areas, elephants halting traffic in search of food, and observe how 300 giant monitor lizards thrive in a central Bangkok park. Discover flying squirrels nesting in Taipei schools, proboscis monkeys venturing closer to human settlements, and swifts in Jerusalem competing for nesting sites. This story offers a captivating glimpse into the extraordinary resilience and adaptability of animals coexisting with dense human populations.
In Antarctica, one the most sophisticated hunting behaviours in the animal kingdom takes place – killer whales creating waves to wash seals off pieces of floating ice. A team of scientists and filmmakers travel heads to these freezing waters to find out more about these unique animals and how they do it. But their mission is not just to deepen our understanding of this extraordinary hunting behaviour. The team are also intent on learning more about the secret – and more tender side – of the lives of these killer whales.
