Synopsis

Series of talks by Sir David Attenborough on the natural histories of creatures and plants from around the world.

Sir David recounts the remarkable story of a feather, like any other feather from a bird - only it was 150 million years old, and the animal that lost it lived when birds had not yet evolved.
