The Life of Mammals
Insect Hunters
Season 1 Episode 2 of 10
David Attenborough offers an insight into insect-eating animals, including shrews that dive under water, moles that can 'swim' in the Namib Desert, and New Zealand bats that hunt in packs on the ground, walking on their wrists and foraging. Plus, how hedgehogs and armadillos liven up their diet with fruit and birds' eggs, while pangolins and giant anteaters survive entirely on a diet of insects
The Life of Mammals airs on U&Eden at 7:00 PM, Saturday 2 November. (Subtitles.)
