You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a broad, awe-filled tour of mammal behavior and survival, similar to Frozen Planet II or Seven Worlds, One Planet; Not for you if you’re tired of familiar clips or want only rare species.
Pros: striking new animal moments; wide range of mammals; engaging, curious tone | Cons: some footage feels familiar; focus on well-known species; episodes can feel unfocused
