A
man whose list of books in Wikipedia covers half my screen,
and whose TV credits require an entirely different Wikipedia article—and lots of scrolling.
A
man whose career as the writer, presenter, narrator, and/or producer
of programs about plants and animals has filled our screens in the
1950s and 1960s, the 1970s and 1980s and 1990s, the 2000s and now the
2010s – a career that has lasted more than 60 years now! And it's
still going!
A
man whose career has been so illustrious and so long that he received
BAFTAs (the British equivalent of an Oscar or Emmy Award) for
programs in black-and-white, color, HD, and 3D. He is the only person
to have done so.
Sir
David Attenborough is sometimes called a “National Treasure” in
his own country – the United Kingdom – but I think he could be
called a “World Treasure,” too. Check out some of his works
today!
Here
is a bit about carnivorous (meat-eating) plants.
Here
Attenborough reads the lyrics
of “Wonderful World” - and it's quite simply wonderful!
Here
Attenborough says “boo” to
a sloth and lets us in on the mystery scientists have never solved
about a sloth's pooping habits!
Here
is a long video on climate
change.
You
can also watch many of Attenborough's documentaries on Netflix and Netflix streaming.
Check out Planet Earth,
Blue Planet,
The Life of Mammals,
and The Life of Birds. And more!
