"Life" on Discovery - Reptiles/Amphibians

[Lolo76]

I'm watching the show "Life" right now, on Discovery Channel... it's hosted by Oprah Winfrey, and is basically like the program "Planet Earth." The episode I'm watching now is on reptiles and amphibians, and it's awesome!! Definitely check it out on repeats if you have a chance, particularly if you have HD television - I can't believe how amazing it looks in HD. Anyone else catch it yet?

OMG... they're showing a group of garter snakes awaking from hibernation, and competing for the few females nearby. It's hilarious, especially the one boy who overslept - LOL.

I really enjoyed the komodo dragons. If you guys havnt seen it you got to its sick in HD. I liked it personally it took these guys 3 years to finish that life project.

Hi Laura! I've caught snipets of one of the episodes but have yet to watch them. I think my dvr is overflowing so I better log off now!

On a similar but different note, have you watched the "Fatal Attractions" or the "Invasion of Killer Aliens" programs on Animal Planet? I understand better why the Democrat in Florida wants to ban pythons. I believe that they should be allowed to kill all large python species on the spot if they are "at large." And I think that keeping those species of large pythons should be limited in some form. I want non-native species to thrive only in captivity.

And about that Fatal Attractions... what nut jobs!!

Yeah, that was definitely my favorite part of the show... this one fat male wakes up 2 days late, yawning and looking around like "Oh crap, I missed the chicks!" I haven't seen that other show you mentioned, so maybe I'll look for it on my dvr later.

Check them out. I respect the opinions of those who say the shows are bs, but with every story/rumor/joke there is at least an ounce of truth. And I do believe that the burmese pythons are reproducing outside of captivity in large numbers in Florida and it should be stopped with the least cost and most use of logic.

I too absolutely love watching these shows, even if I've seen them a hundred times. I owen both Planet Earth and Blue Planet on Blu-ray and as soon as Life is out I'll own it too . I just love how indepth they get into the lives of these animals and the time and effort they put into it! And yes that pebble toad is awesome! hehe.

WAIT, so if I make a rumor that turtles are amphibians.. that makes it TRUE??
That's amazing!

Haha, I'm just pushing your buttons.
But for serious, I haven't seen a single factual or scientifically based piece of information off of either of those shows. And listening to politicians talk on them just means they have to be full of lies.
