Watched this on Iplayer this morning and what a wonderful programme. It's narrated by Stephen Mangan and the camera work is beautiful.
Was nice that there was no killing of the main animal stars. A very interesting show and very cute babies.

I was surprised that part 2 is on tonight.
I didn't like the bit where the snake ate the rodent though, but it was funny when the monkey tried to steal it from him/her.
Seems it is a 3 parter, last one tomo.
I know it's nature but I don't like the killing parts the monkey was funny tho
Were the Otters 6 foot long? I don't do metric
Yes, I think they reach about 5/6 feet long. And, as we saw tonight, have super cute looking pups too! I missed last nights so will watch that tomorrow on catch up. Great documentary though, thoroughly enjoyed tonight's episode. Some of the photography/filming was stunning, especially the night sky with all the stars against the illuminated termite mounds, I wish they'd dwelled longer on that bit, it was just amazing, as well as that waterfall - bigger and wider than Niagara Falls evidently!
Same here. but didn't they say they are the largest of the cat family but still .. a Caymen in one fell swoop
I am so fascinated by this programme. The camera work and scenery are totally stunning.
The baby monkey has stolen my heart. His so cute.
That is big!!
Agree I would have liked to have seen more of the termite mould. What an amazing sight that was at night and the amount of stars in the sky was incredible.
Would love if we had more of these shows than all the cooking progs we get.
All that hacks me off a little is does the background music have to be soooo loud at times. It got so loud a several points you could hardly hear the narrator
Been lucky enough to go to Iguassu and fly over them in a helicopter - if you ever get the chance, go, as it is an amazing sight. They feature in the film 'The Mission'. Those termite hills are just massive.
I was just surprised that this is being shown quickly over three consecutive days at 9pm.
When I will the Lotto that will be on my bucket list, even tho I am a bit scared of flying!
I can imagine from above it must have looked amazing.
I had no idea it was on consecutive nights, so have only watched the first two, was going to watch part 3 as well, but I'm starting to fall asleep.
Jaguars are a tad bigger than Leopards aren't they ?. Biggest In South America. Hardly in the league of Lions or Siberian Tigers. Liked the program but Stephen Mangan is a boring voice over. I was struck by how human some of the monkey's behaviour was. The nervous grins etc.
