This man is amazing. Sir David Attenborough is nothing short of a genius, and has a passion for his work that is beyond infectious. His work is immortal, and will surely survive generations, being remembered as including the first moment in television that inspired the world to understand the beauty, complexity and diversity of life on Earth.
There is certainly no other person quite like Sir David Attenborough. One day when it's his time to go, the world will have had lost one of it's beloved sons.

An incredibly enviable experience,which gives me goosebumps every time.The BBC can be lambasted for much but unarguably this series is the absolute peak of factual entertainment,not only does his wealth of knowledge,quality and infinite dedication to learning in depth every subject he covers, know no peers,there isn't even anyone remotely close, It must be a burden being a nature presenter knowing that you will never achieve anywhere near that status,Attenborough is a national treasure equal to the crown jewels and a true titan!
Sir David has, without any doubt, the greatest, and arguably one of the most important, job(s) in the world. What I would give to tag along with him on his adventures :)
Such a SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS spot to be in! (Potentially, of course!)🤔😬✌🏼😳👍🏼 Humans in a Gorilla's territory, AND amongst their young too! David Attenborough, the crew and guides were bloody lucky to have a peaceful encounter, really!
SIR David Attenborough is an inspiration, this man has basically taught us from what....1930 something? i dont care who you think the best natural docu person is in the entire world, no one comes close to this man, he has forgotten more than all of us know combined, in fact if there is something above knighthood he can be awarded then he should, 1st simple thing is he knows most animals biggest fear....is fear, your emotion and mood carry , not just through body language and scent
Hired at BBC in 1952, Zoo Quest began in 1954. Otherwise correct though. Keep in mind he also listened to the expert guides that were with him and behaved in the way they advised him, which put the gorillas at ease.
@@FunkopediaVery relevant comment, thank you 😊. Thinking about it, it’s obvious and it’s nice of you to also give credit to all the unsung participants making these nature documentaries. But also of course at the end of the day it’s David Attenborough’s (gosh the autocorrector gave me the surname after only typing the first four letters!), whose inimitable delivery and softly spoken genteel manner captures our hearts and holds us in awe😊
GOD has truly blessed you David with such an extraordinary life and all you've experienced.... Thank you Sir for sharing some of these experiences with us ✝️🙏🦍
Prey?? They might attack when provoked, challenged for dominance, or whilst protecting a mum & babies, but they're not carnivores by nature, they're herbivores and will subsist on a diet of fruits and plants. They will not simply just "hunt" humans as prey.
but also electrical impulses in the brain, if you use your head you can almost FEEL fear or comfort in any creature, as long as you take care to not be stupid, like....approaching a snake fast from above.... in its world the only fast things are what it eats and what eats it, and "above" is a predatory position, just simple things like this will save your backside :)
that youongster lying on david attenborough's tummy looked so relaxed
he's been through so many things that not even 0.001% of humanity will experience ever, multiple times. very cool.
Absolutely right! It makes me envious but I have so much respect and esteem for him and what he's tried to do with his work and the planet :)
Im jealous

Respect most animals and their surroundings and they will respect you.
Well, as long as their stomachs are full .

A very valid final point/disclaimer was your concluding sentence.
Gorillas don't eat meat so they wouldn't attack a person for that reason.
Respect Gorilla and they are chill. Chimpanzees must be avoided though, no matter the circumstances. Those things are evil

Sir David is such a wonderful man. Surely a legend, a very special person, a God-send for all living beings. I will always be a fan.
baby gorilla: im just going to lay on top of you good sir
This man has been an inspiration all my life, I hate it that he's now in 80's.
And he's now 94. ❤
@@savp.1337 Goddamn
95 now
I assume 96 now or sometime this year.
David Attenborough is a legend
David Attenborough is the king of nature documanteries.
BBC is the best, mainly because of mr. Attenborough.
He is THE MAN

ThIs man is a legend '
This man is a national treasure
My hero. That man is my hero.
At the time this was important footage. People thought Gorillas were savage and beastly probably due to film- TV. This footage showed otherwise.
I've been to Uganda to see the gorillas and it is one the highlights of my travels.
That gorilla is equally famous in her troop, because she met Sir David.
Sir David has, without any doubt, the greatest, and arguably one of the most important, job(s) in the world.
What I would give to tag along with him on his adventures :)
Attenborough has done great things out there in the wild
Life on Earth may just be he greatest series the BBC has ever made.
I'd rather watch EastEnders.
Loved this moment the gorilla's are majestic beautiful animals just amazing

No, he was born around 1930, and his TV career didn't start until he was an adult. What a pity he didn't teach basic maths!

I love his Documentary! It's awesome , especially the insects!

Majestic and beautiful creatures
When this was filmed, he was 52 to 53 years old from 1978 to 79.
This footage is really beautiful. It's so incredibly sad to read to story of Dian Fossey :(
Outstanding! A genius indeed!
excellent!!!
Absolutely awesome
so incredibly lucky.. what a privilege...😍😍😍❤
I love this man! such a talent!
david is sooooooooo brave
amazing
respect!!!
I remember.
very very nice
@asseeninYOURDREAMS yes they are wild,
What does he do different so that the animals don't consider hims as prey?
+DutchKid121 He shows respect to the silverback, and shows he is no threat. Put his head down and never looked the alpha silverback in the eye.
Prey?? They might attack when provoked, challenged for dominance, or whilst protecting a mum & babies, but they're not carnivores by nature, they're herbivores and will subsist on a diet of fruits and plants.
They will not simply just "hunt" humans as prey.
everyone who posted is smarter than me :(
The only “prey” of gorillas are ants and termites. Gorillas may perceive humans as threats, but not prey.
❤️
those werent wild were they?
woof
