Description

Collection of documentaries focusing on the natural world presented by esteemed British naturalist David Attenborough. In 'Natural History Museum Alive' (2013) the residents of London's Natural History Museum are brought back to life, from famously extinct creatures such as dinosaurs and the dodo to less well-known creatures from Earth's prehistoric past. In 'Galapagos' (2013) Attenborough explores the lives and journeys of remarkable animals from the giant tortoise to the waved albatross, allowing the viewer to get up close to the creatures and their natural habitats. In 'Attenborough at 90 - Behind the Lens' (2016) the life and work of Britain's most respected naturalist is showcased, featuring birthday congratulations from some of his biggest fans. In 'Micro Monsters' (2013) Attenborough explores the everyday lives of creatures such as killer ants, spiders and scorpions and the intriguing acts they perform from weaving silk trap doors to wearing their victims' corpses. Pioneering film-making technology enables the audience to get up close to the creatures and their natural habitats. In 'First Life' (2010) Attenborough explores the beginning of life on Earth and the documentary shows how some of the evolutionary features of these most primitive creatures are present in modern animals including humans, and traces the evolution of the first eyes, the first solid body parts and the first feet and backbones. In 'Kingdom of Plants' (2012) Attenborough and his crew set out to capture the life and dynamism of plants, something that is often invisible to the human eye, by exploring The Royal Botanic Gardens in London, home to a remarkable 90% of all known species of plant. In 'The Penguin King' (2012), filmed in 3D, the early years of a young penguin are documented as he battles his way through adolescence to become a fully-fledged king of the Antarctic. In 'Rise of Animals' (2013) the latest scientific advances are used to research fossils and investigate how animals alive today have evolved from a small number of ancient life forms. In 'Conquest of the Skies' (2015) Attenborough looks into the scientific reasons behind gravity-defying animals. Using modern technology and new advances in high-speed filming, the documentary travels back in time 300 million years to investigate the evolution of flight. In 'Flying Monsters' (2011) the prehistoric flying reptiles known as pterosaurs gain Attenborough's attention as he travels to Southern France, New Mexico, Germany and the Jurassic Coast in Britain, and attempts to uncover how such massive creatures were able to become airborne. Finally, in 'David Attenborough Meets President Obama' (2015) the esteemed broadcaster and naturalist spends his 89th birthday at the White House where he discusses his life and work with President Barack Obama.
