David Attenborough presents a nature documentary series looking at why mammals are the most successful creatures on the planet.
For 30 years Oxford Scientific Films has concentrated on animals that are difficult to film and action that is often impossible to appreciate with the naked eye. In Secret Nature, we open the treasure trove of world class images that includes stunning timelapse, slow motion, high speed and macro sequences.
More than four years of filming have been necessary to capture the impressive images of the most varied animal species that inhabit the Iberian Peninsula: amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, insects and fish are represented in this wonderful journey through the different ecosystems that we can find in Iberian lands.
Latest research has revealed that first mammals and first dinosaurs appeared on earth at about the same time and that the ancestral mammals underwent dramatic evolution while challenging the dinosaurs. It was these struggles that created the basic nature of all present mammals, including humans.
