Mammals stand as a testament to evolution's capacity for adaptation. David Attenborough examines their journey, tracing their development from reptiles some 200 million years ago. This extraordinary transformation saw the emergence of vital capabilities: the ability to control body temperature, gestation within the womb, and nourishment through suckling. Attenborough further investigates the South American roots of marsupials and their subsequent dispersal across Australia.
