Two decades after Life of Mammals, Sir David Attenborough revisits this “extraordinary” group of animals in a major new series for the BBC, titled ‘Mammals’.

The six episodes will explore different environments; Dark, Cold, Heat, Water, Forest and The New Wild – an episode that explores the “ingenious” ways mammals are adapting to a world dominated by humans, “arguably the most successful mammal of all”.

Each episode will run for 60 minutes and cover a range of mammals – from the miniature tenrecs of Madagascar to the humpback whales of the Indian ocean.

The series starts on BBC 1 at 7pm on the 31st March 2024
