Life of Mammals, Volume Four -- The*

• (Life of Mammals, The series, Part 4) David Attenborough's latest series presents the biggest ever wildlife series devoted to mammals. It features many of the planet's most fascinating and diverse creatures -- from the smallest [the two-inch pygmy shrew] to the largest [the blue whale]; from the slowest [the sloth] to the swiftest [the cheetah]; from the arguably least attractive [the naked mole rat] to the most irresisitible [a human baby].
