David Attenborough - Life in Cold Blood
A Natural History of Amphibians and Reptiles
They arose from the first backboned animals on Earth 300 million years ago, long before birds or mammals, even before any flowering plants. Dinosaurs apart, amphibians and reptiles are the great survivors.

Amphibians and reptiles have adopted almost every habitat and every device for survival. Humans, however, are irrationally prejudiced against them. ‘Cold-blooded’ is a term of dislike, though their blood is not cold at all - merely on occasion cooler than ours. They offer no threat unless, perhaps, when trodden on or cornered. Of all groups, surely the reptiles deserve our better understanding and this is what Sir David offers, with greater enjoyment along the way. Few people will read him unmoved or unenlightened.
