Life in Cold Blood - 4/5 - Sophisticated Serpents

Mon 25 Feb, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm

David Attenborough reveals the fascinating lives of the most misunderstood group of reptiles - the snakes.

They have taken the most simple but elegant body plan and run with it to succeed on land, sea and even in the air. A CCTV stakeout of wild rattlesnakes hunting shows, for the first time, what sophisticated predators they truly are. David Attenborough is also seen on the receiving end of a spitting cobra's chemical weapons system. But the surprisingly beautiful and tender side of snakes is also displayed in the sinuous courtship of king snakes and the water birth of 15 beautiful yellow anaconda babies.
