The Life Of Mammals

In ten parts, this award-winning David Attenborough documentary introduces us to the most diverse group of animals ever to live on Earth, from the smallest - the two-inch pygmy shrew, to the largest - the blue whale; from the slowest - the sloth, to the swiftest - the cheetah; from the least attractive - the naked mole rat, to the most irresistible - a human baby. The Life of Mammals is the story of 4,000 species that have outlived the dinosaurs and conquered the farthest places on earth. With bodies kept warm by thick coats of fur and their developing young protected and nourished within their bodies, they have managed to colonize every part of the globe, dry or wet, hot or cold. Their adaptations for finding food have also had a profound effect on the way they move, socialize, mate and breed.

Yes, I know what you're thinking. Why oh why did it have to be Megavideo? Seriously, I can't find an alternative. Some of the best documentaries on the net are always uploaded there, there's not much I can do. I put up some tips at the FAQ page, perhaps you can get some ideas there.

Anyone having issues with MegaVideo's limitations needs to do this:

1) Use FireFox instead of Internet Explorer
2) Install the plugin available here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11037

3) Enjoy the films.

I'm sorry, the proper name is "Illimitux" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11037). My bad.

If you only watch one at a time, you won't have to wait. If you're intending to watch several successively you will, however.

You can use a very simple mozilla firefox add-on called "illuminux" to get around the time-limit. All you have to do is install it, and it does the rest for you automatically.

If each video is less than the limit does that mean you don't have to wait? Totally don't mind that it takes me a few days to watch these, it's worth it! Love love LOVE this site!

The stunning images in the different parts of this documentary, made my brain explode. I am now but a hollow husk, forever smiling, and at peace.

Sir David, you are my hero.

Alright, so none of these are over the MegaVideo limit on their own... but it's going to take me a week to watch the whole thing.
