Planet Earth: Jungles
Continuing with his grand exploration of the great diversity of life on our planet, David Attenborough takes us on a journey to discover the world of the jungle and the incredible varieties of life that make their appearance there.
Attenborough's got all kinds of interesting things up his sleeve, from birds of paradise and their grandiose courtship displays to howling monkeys, flying frogs, the eerie cordyceps, and even a disturbing case of warfare and cannibalism among chimpanzees :(
As always, the footage is simply captivating... they even manage to make fungi look beautiful :)
