Synopsis:
Reptiles and amphibians appear better suited to the past, but through extraordinary behaviour they remain a global success. A pebble toad bounces like a rubber ball to escape predators; a sea krait swims to an underwater, air-filled cavern to lay her eggs; a Komodo dragon uses a poisonous bite to bring down a buffalo, but the venom takes several weeks to kick in. All the while, the dragon relentlessly pursues its prey."Life" aims to highlight the extraordinary lengths animals must go to survive, through telling involving stories from the perspective of individual animals, generating audience involvement in their fate.
