Attenborough examines monkeys from around the world. Monkeys started life in the tree-tops, and it is here that the capuchin still lives, in the swamps of Costa Rica.
Tree dwellers - mammals that have adapted to life at height. The hyrax, tamanduas, and the flying squirrel have developed different tactics to thrive in the treetops.
David swims with sea otters, dives with manatees and pursues a blue whale as he follows those mammals who, millions of years ago, left dry land and returned to the water to feed.
Attenborough studies the raccoon, and the bear - omnivores, animals that eat whatever is around at the time. They're opportunists and have developed skills and features to adapt.
A look at the dangers carnivores pose for other animals and the threats they face, from pack-hunting wolves, to arctic foxes. David trails a lone leopard and a Siberian tiger.
David looks at rodents who possess incisor teeth with chisel-sharp enamel on their front edges. Learn about the agouti, the beaver, and the capybara -- Earth's largest rodent.
David looks at the sloth that lives on nothing but leaves, the rubble rabbit that makes poisons work to its advantage and even elephants who go underground to mine for salt.
When the giant reptiles disappeared, the mammals seized the chance to conquer new territory. David meets moles that can swim through sand, and a shrew that hunts underwater.
Mammals are one of Earth's success stories. David visits Australia and South America to study marsupials; then examines mammals, who develop their young in wombs, not pouches.
