If you have yet to see any of Sir David Attenborough’s nature collections, then you have missed some of the rarest glimpses into our world’s environments. There is a very obvious reason that this Natural Sciences academic from Cambridge is world-renowned: He is one of the world’s foremost experts in his field.<\/p>\n
Each of Attenborough’s BBC series take place in different kingdoms.\u00a0Some of the series that\u00a0my family has been able to enjoy are: \u00a0The Life of Birds<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, \u00a0The Life of Mammals<\/em><\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0 Life in the Undergrowth<\/em><\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0 Life in Cold Blood<\/em><\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0 Life in the Freezer<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (Antarctica).<\/p>\n Attenborough\u00a0travels the entire planet so that we don’t have to. While “there”\u00a0 (wherever that might be!) he brings us truly remarkable sights. And, he is not without the youthful heart of a small boy at seeing something truly amazing. Attenborough’s sense of glee when he watches an elephant quite literally going bump in the night is infectious. His obvious enjoyment at watching an orangutan grab a cracked nut from him or his laughter at watching an albatross land is contagious. >>> Even those Grinches among us are not able to resist his enjoyment.<\/p>\n Did I mention the filming? The Attenborough series are simply spectacular. He has hiked through the hot, dry Sahara Dessert or the hot, humid Amazonian jungles so that we can enjoy the sights that he and his production crew have had to wait for… sights that we would most likely never have seen even if we had been in the dessert or jungle… sights that took enormous amounts of patience and time to capture on film.<\/p>\n I’m happy to let Attenborough and his production crews\/experts do the work so that my family can enjoy these beautiful pieces of nature’s art work! The\u00a0footage we see is absolutely\u00a0incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n (As with most things in nature, some of these\u00a0shows include scenes not suitable for young children.)<\/p>\n
