Reptiles and amphibians ruled the world for nearly 200 million years and today there are still over 12,500 of them. Some are huge, the deadliest creatures on earth. Some are tiny, among the strangest to be found anywhere. Together, they not only outnumber mammals or birds but in their colourful variety and extraordinary behaviour, they far surpass them.
So where did these ancient creatures come from? How have they transformed themselves into the bizarre and beautiful forms that are alive today? And what`s the secret of their epic success?
In Life in Cold Blood, David Attenborough traces the story of their evolution and overturns the myth that these creatures are just primitive killers, to reveal them for what they truly are.
(5 episodes)

Reptilien und Amphibien haben die Welt für nahezu 200 Millionen Jahre beherrscht. Heutzutage gibt es über 14.000 unterschiedliche Arten. Einige sind riesig und andere die tödlichsten Lebewesen der Erde. Andere sind winzig und zählen zu den merkwürdigsten Artgenossen. Wo kommen diese uralten Lebewesen her? Wie haben sie sich in die heute existierenden, teilweise bizarren und schönen Formen verwandelt? Und was ist das Geheimnis ihres grossen Erfolgs? Der Einsatz neuester Technologie ermöglicht die detaillierte Darstellung von aussergewöhnlichem und nie zuvor gezeigtem Verhalten, was den Mythos widerlegt, das Leben der Kaltblüter sei langsam, einsam und primitiv. Kaltblütig zeigt, dass diese Lebewesen genauso dramatisch, sozial, fortschrittlich und leidenschaftlich wie Warmblüter sind.
