      @@AniWatX that’s true even acting scared can annoy or frighten many animals. Especially reptiles. My tame tegu tried to bite a friend for being too shaky petting him. Because it makes them feel insecure they sense your fear and they become fearful themselves.

    I am from Greece but because thankfully we didn't use voice dubbing on foreign programs but instead we only used subtitles, I was listening to Sir Attenborough's voice on every animal documentary on the TV since I was a little kid. Whenever I heard his voice on a program I always new that it was going to be great! The English have by far the best TV presenters/actors and TV programs in the World.

    I think the Earth vs Space argument can best be simplified into species vs territory. Those who prefer exploring our planet tend to do so because of all the different creatures we've yet to discover, whereas space-lovers do so because of the unique landscapes and vast regions different to our own. This is however subjective, I'm just giving an idea
