Simply stunning as expected - I mean Life in Cold Blood - not the bacon fest  Oh my word - those chameleons - you couldn't make it up with a childs paint box - how fantastic - I shall watch the repeat later in the week (cos I'm ashamed to say I kept falling asleep............)

Yup, excellent as you say Pauline, those fish eating crocs could tuck away a few bacon sarnies with those gobs!!!!!!!!!
Quite funny seeing the frogs having a little wrestle......... |

top notch as expected - who needs african mega faunas! DAs reaction to the pygmy chameleon just shows nature can still make you go wow, even with his experiences |

Simply stunning as anticipated. I've never seen so many gaudy chameleons + what a joy to see DA's excitement at seeing the dwarf chameleon at night- I don't think I've ever seen him with that look of pure glee before- like a young child getting their big Xmas pressies.
If it was only so easy to pull the opposite sex as getting the highest rock!! |

Superb! Can't wait for the next one! I thought the horned lizard that buried itself in the sand was amazing, as was the armadillo lizard biting its own tail.
Think I'll try and persuade my boys to get me the book for Fathers' Day.

And I have just downloaded BBC iPlayer and watched it again cos I kept missing chunks the other night thro falling asleep despite my looking forward to it all week - I kept missing bits - tonight I have enjoyed watching it again here ......... oh those chameleons - the colours and textures - a photographers dream ........ and the footage around the puff Adder ......... and the boa constricter - I think I might keep seeing that deers ears disappearing slowly into that big mouth it would be interesting to grasp that protruding windpipe and hold it shut for a few seconds, do you think ?

Perhaps it is but is it that there are not as many Mac users so you don't get catered for?

I don't know about any scenes repeated from earlier programmes but I thought it another excellent edition - wildlife TV at its best.
