Sir David and Mother Nature

Conhecem Sir David Attenborough? Aquele biólogo que faz programas sobre... bem, tudo o que entra nos limites do conceito de 'mundo natural'? Adoro os programas do senhor. E porquê? Porque ele é o maior! A partir do momento em que o vi a acender uma lâmpada com uma enguia eléctrica, a minha visão dele mudou: "O homem é fixe..." - foi o que pensei. E é mesmo! Um século mais cedo e provavelmente teria abafado todos os Cuviers, Darwins e Wallaces que existiram. Mas enfim... abençoado século XX com todas as suas fraquezas. De qualquer forma, andava por aqui à procura dos nomes de uns programas dele e descobri uma lista dos melhores momentos de televisão de Sir David Attenborough. Take a look:
