			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night, at my friends, I actually watched some TV, and this &#8220;Creatures from the Deep&#8221; from David Attenborough&#8217;s Life series was absolutely fascinating (below, a ray eating a soft-shelled crab) &#8211; you can see this particular episode on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lbpcy">BBC iPlayer</a> for the next 19 days, or <a href="•	http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002KSA4FG/britishomefro-21">purchase the series</a> from Amazon!</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 23px; font-size: 17px; color: #404040; "><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-687" title="rayeatingcrab" src="http://drbexl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/rayeatingcrab.jpg" alt="rayeatingcrab" width="515" height="332" />&#8220;&#8216;Life&#8217; will chronicle the extraordinary patterns of animal behaviour and the ends to which animals and plants go in order to survive.</span></p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.38em; color: #404040; margin: 0px;">For the first time on television, viewers will be able to see dolphins creating circles of mud to entrap fish, hunting cheetahs collaborating to bring down prey twice their size, killer whales who have learnt to stalk seals and Komodo dragons trailing buffalo.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.38em; color: #404040; margin: 0px;">The series, which took four years to make, will also include epic spectacles such as millions of fruit bats darkening the Zambian sky, dozens of polar bears feasting on a whale and a billion butterflies cloaking a forest in Mexico.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.38em; color: #404040; margin: 0px;">Produced by the BBC Natural History Unit using state of the art filming technology, the show includes strange creatures such as star-nosed moles and stalk-eyed flies &#8220;growing&#8221; their eyes.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.38em; color: #404040; margin: 0px;">Martha Holmes, the series producer, told The Daily Telegraph: &#8220;We have chosen 130 stories from the animal world and the series is incredibly dramatic, with stories that people will identify with.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.38em; color: #404040; margin: 0px;">&#8220;Each tale is told from the perspective of the animal. We aren&#8217;t just doing broadbrush nature, we are telling individual stories and new behaviour. This is cutting edge evolution. You think you know what cheetahs do – watch this.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.38em; color: #404040; margin: 0px;">See <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/5795325/BBC-David-Attenborough-Life-series-goes-deeper-than-ever-into-world-of-the-wild.html">Telegraph Article</a>.</p>
