For me, who watches quite a bit of these kind of shows, Sir David Attenbourgh does no wrong. Always are his documentaries knowledgeable, entertaining, and certainly insightful. This particular Attenbourgh documentary on mammals was the most profound.

Keeping in mind that we humans are apart of the mammalian family there are certainly interesting moments in this series.

I don't won't to give anything away as every segment is fully entertaining.

Those of you whom have seen other "Life of" series; then you know what to expect. However as the series moves toward Human Beings near the end in David Attenbourgh's food for thought, for which the last chapter is called, he poses a most profound question that can only sink in ones mind, perhaps only for a little while for some. But the so seemingly simplistic way in which explains why some species are the way they are, coupled with the seriousness...how things are the way they are today, which is posed in his final thought; makes the Life of Mammals one of the best documentary films I've ever seen.

For those of you whom have never seen any nature shows at all, or are reduced to some lesser ones that play on TV today...well give this one a try.
