Not mine, but the BBC series hosted by David Attenborough. Talking about millipedes the other day, I just finished rewatching Life In The Undergrowth. Have you seen it? It's my favorite from the Life series since I'm quite fond of bugs and invertebrates myself... As long as they don't jump out of nowhere and eat my face, then I'm good.
Right up there is also The Blue Planet. It's so mesmerizing to watch. Some of my favorite species are the octopus, jellyfish, sunfish and the wondrous leafy sea dragons!! Have you seen pictures of a "Dumbo" octopus? Though for the larger sea creature category, the one I absolutely love is the manatee! Cuz it reminds me of, well - me. Maybe it's their go about way-of-life that I like... so kick back and carefree. Sea cow, so funny. Uh huh, they're my favorite. What's yours?
There's also Life of Mammals and Life of Birds. The only show which I haven't seen is Life on Earth, and one which comes out next year - Life in Cold Blood, a series on reptiles. Lastly there's Planet Earth which is coming out the end of the month. I can hardly wait since I have no cable. So have I bored you enough yet?
Here is the trailer to Planet Earth if you're interested. It's an absolutely fuckin' amazing world we live in.

When I was a teenager on spring break I swam with a manatee in the Keys. I was snorkeling and I fed it a head of lettuce. It was the most peaceful creature I have ever encountered. I later learned that you are supposed to leave them alone so that they don't get acclimated to humans. I would never approach one again, but it was something I'll never foget.

You will enjoy "Planet Earth." Great series. I would also recommend the film "Anima Mundi," also. Though there's no dialogue, it's still a fine film.

Did you ever watch Crocodile Hunter? Just asking because although I did find Steve Irwin annoying sometimes, he was really really enthusiastic about the animals. I kind of miss his zany antics. Crikey!

I have Life In The Undergrowth in my Netflix queue to watch after I'm done with Fullmetal Alchemist. Can't wait! I think I read about it in Entertainment Weekly.
I've just started to tape the Planet Earth series and watched the two extremes -- Ocean and then Desert. It was a fun juxtaposition. The series is outstanding.
