The Trials of Life is quite simply the greatest study of animal behaviour ever filmed. Trials of Life isn't afraid to shy away from the cruelty of nature ever. It graphically shows Chimpanzees hunting Colobus Monkeys in Africa and Killer Whales preying on defenseless Seal Pups. Every aspect of animal life is here, arriving, growing up, finding food, hunting and escaping, finding the way, homemaking, living together, fighting, friends and rivals, talking to strangers, courting and finally continuing the line. David Attenborough's style of presenting is also quite brilliant. He is content to take a back seat and let nature be the star, he never tries to have the spotlight on him.
