We recently finished watching The Life of Birds series. The three disc series, totaling 600 minutes, was hosted by famed naturalist David Attenborough. The series was wonderful! We got it from Netflix and the girls really enjoyed watching it. The series explored 42 countries, and discussed over 300 species of birds! PBS has a featured webpage for The Life of Birds, which we still need to check out. You can find it here.
We are now starting on the series The Life of Mammals which is just as interesting and exciting! David Attenborough hosts this series, too. We've only watched the first chapter and we are amazed. We didn't realize there were so many marsupials in South America! The first chapter spoke mostly of marsupials, monotremes, and at the end started on placental mammals. We can't wait to watch another chapter! The BBC has a website for the series here.
If you have a Netflix membership I believe you can watch these two series online, as well. But we like to watch them all snuggled up together on the couch. My dad said there was a way to hook the computer to the tv, but I have no clue how to do that...and he's a thousand miles away so he can't help!

Oh yeah - my girls loved these series, even though I had to explain about the 'evolved' bit and the 'adaptations'. Am enjoying your site - our girls seems to be doing similar things.
