EPISODES 1,2,3The series took over three and a half years to make, during which time David Attenborough travelled almost a quarter of a million miles.
1. "Arriving"Birth is the first dangerous step into a hazardous world. The vast majority of newborns are consumed by other creatures who are struggling to compete in the perpetual game of life. Egg-laying animals, live-bearing, pregnant males, body snatching wasps ? the strategies are diverse, but the aim is simple: to launch progeny into the world with a good chance of progress on the road to becoming parents.
2. "Growing Up"Attenborough says, "The task of gaining size and strength sufficient to survive unaided is the main task of childhood." From abandoned babies to those cared for by generations of family, like elephants, communal nurseries and synchronized birthing seasons, the responsibilities of child care and teaching of the young shows again that growing up in the natural world is a complex and hazardous business.
3. "Finding Food"Finding food, and avoiding becoming food to other organisms, is a problem every animal faces. The vital quest opens up a complex world of intrigue and cunning, of ploy and counter-ploy. Animals can avoid becoming someone's dinner by running or hiding. Plants, without these defences, have developed surprising ways to protect themselves.
