Concluding Sir David Attenborough's overview of life on the planet, Life in Cold Blood tells the story of reptiles and amphibians.

Educational and entertaining, these 5 episodes on 2 discs will change your perceptions of cold-blooded creatures forever. Also included are behind-the-scene featurettes added to the end of each episode. — Gord LaceyBuy [Life in Cold Blod on Amazon.com.  read full article
