David Attenborough presents an insight into the most successful animals on the planet. Observing an Arctic fox stalk prey in its -20C environment, he reveals warm-bloodedness as one of the key factors in the mammals' global domination. He also studies marsupials in Australia and Central America, offering a unique view inside a platypus's breeding burrow

David Attenborough examines the world of rodents, whose constantly growing incisor teeth are used to chisel through any obstacle and range from squirrels and the English harvest mouse to the large South American capybara. He looks at examples of their dental prowess, showing how agoutis in Panama break open rock-hard nutshells and the skills employed by beavers in Wyoming as they fell massive trees to build dams rivalling feats of human engineering

David Attenborough offers an insight into insect-eating animals, including shrews that dive under water, moles that can 'swim' in the Namib Desert, and New Zealand bats that hunt in packs on the ground, walking on their wrists and foraging. Plus, how hedgehogs and armadillos liven up their diet with fruit and birds' eggs, while pangolins and giant anteaters survive entirely on a diet of insects

David Attenborough uses advanced surveillance technology to observe the feeding habits of herbivores, including elephants forced to undertake epic migrations to ensure a steady diet of the plants they need to survive. He also considers the habits of the sloth, which takes a month to digest each meal, and reveals scientific research suggesting that grazing wildebeest do not follow the rains as originally thought, but detect trails of phosphorus in the grass
