Loved Planet Earth? Now the Discovery Channel’s come out a sequel of sorts: LIFE. And green LA girl readers can win tickets to an advance showing of the premiere episode — “Challenges of Life” — on March 16! Here’s your chance to experience LIFE on the big-screen in HD format [Update: Tickets are now all gone!] — before the series premiers on March 21.

But first, about LIFE: Narrated by Oprah Winfrey, LIFE takes a closer, more intimate look at different animal and plant groups, showcasing amazing scenes from the natural world in all seven continents.

For example — Remember those fun falling scenes in Avatar, when Jake Sully and Neytiri break their falls by dropping onto a series of leaves? I just found out there’s a toad that does exactly that to escape from its enemies.

That would be the waterfall toad, which happens to have opposable thumbs like humans! Watch the frog break its perilous fall in this short clip from LIFE:

The first two of LIFE’s 11 parts — “Challenges of Life” and “Reptiles and Amphibians” — will air Sun., March 21 on the Discovery Channel. But if you’re in the L.A.-area, you can win a pair of tickets here to see “Challenges of Life” on the big screen on Tues., March 16, 7:30 pm at The Landmark, 10850 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles.

Simply email me at greenlagirl@gmail.com with your full name, and you’ll get a pair of free tickets — until I run out. I’ll put up an update once all tickets are given out — which means unless you see said update after this sentence, tickets are still available — so email me now! [Update: Tickets are now all gone!] Winners will receive an email confirming their tickets.

Here’s a couple more clips from LIFE‘s first two episodes to pique your interest. Watch cheetahs hunt ostrich and Komodo dragons hunt buffalo!
