    The Trials Of Life
    Sir David Attenborough continues his study of animal behaviour in the third instalment of his award-winning Life series. Beginning with the ways in which animals arrive in the world and ending with the extraordinary techniques they employ to reproduce, the Trials of Life is one of the most comprehensive wildlife documentaries ever made. Taking some three and a half years to make, Attenborough travelled almost a quarter of a million miles to complete this fascinating and insightful documentary.

    The air conditioning units in some buildings is based on the way termites keep their nests cool, another example of biomimicry and another example of how we are influenced by the natural world

    There's as much info in this 4 minute clip as in a whole episode of Planet Earth. The BBC has really dumbed down the scripts. They should just let him talk.

    can we just take a second to applaud the cameraman who’s getting all these shots probably with some termites crawling up his crack

    Respect for Sir Attenborough for crawling into that place, & the same for the camera operator who went in there to get the shot.

    David is just such a genius man & I love his voice. He can read the way toilet paper is made & I will be in complete awe.

    One of the people I admire regardless of beliefs is you Mr Attenborough, your passion for the environment and towards wildlife both vertebrates and invertebrates as a whole is your most admirable characteristic in my opinion.

    holly smokes! Impressive construction! I wish you included more footage all around the structure and how exactly did you go underneath without being attacked by them?

    You can call them "vanes" or just call them what they are... cooling fins. Just like what air-cooled lawnmower engines have. :) Brilliant engineering from a bug with a brain the size of the dot at the top of this lowercase i. Just amazing. :)
