Did you also see the tree kangaroo and the giant rat?

Got any links, Gail?? I'd love to see them as well. In my opinion, Planet Earth--the BBC Series is the most amazing animal/nature footage I've ever seen. Beautiful stuff!

Thanks for posting, it was amazing.

WOW! I know it took him forever to get that little bit of film, but I wish we could have seen them in relation to something we know the size of. I want one.:)

I thought the same thing! (Glad to know that the video I posted FINALLY reached it's intended addressee!)

Found those on the BBC website. Someone in the office was looking at related stuff and I told her about the smallest parrot. That's when we found the big rat. He was so tame because he had never seen a human. They even touched it.

Try here, Aubrey. The link to the rat portion was still there on the right. You could probably search "volcano" or "tree kangaroo" for the other:

I have a lot of David Attenborough DVDs. With the development of fibreoptics and very small cameras capable of catching microscopic stuff, I have found their productions even more amazing. If you have not seen it, Life in the Undergrowth opens up new worlds of things to see.

It's absolutely amazing what they've captured in the Planet Earth series. My kids all love it, and have given each other sets as gifts.

Now, that was a big rat! (But, I've seen bigger: ROUS)

Thanks for the links, Gail!
