American Reacts Top 10 David Attenborough Moments

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Sir David attended the Centre Court at Wimbledon yesterday, to enjoy the first day of the Wimbledon Fortnight. He was afforded a standing ovation as soon as the crowd saw him, passing David Beckham in the Royal Box. At 98, he remains amazingly sprightly.

[@nessus47]

He's an amazing man and I love to watch anything he's in.

[@johnm8224]

I salute you for correcting yourself immediately to say "Attenborough is an INTERnational treasure". You clearly "get it". 👏 The reason why meeting Obama was important was because Obama was actually interested in the conversation, recognised and deferred to Attenborough's expertise, and asked some genuinely insightful questions, not just the photo op. He also went on to shape some of his policy on the advice of such an expert. Can you imagine Dubbya or Trump doing the same?

I would take the words and advice of David Attenborough over anyone on the face of the Earth. Hes probably been to more places than anyone in the world and has seen it change for nearly a 100 years! He seen with his own eyes the effects of things like climate change,deforestation and poaching etc

David Attenborough was born about two weeks after (or before?) our late Queen Elizabeth II, I don't remember his birthdate but the Queen's birthday/date was 21st April 1926...so he must've been _98_ this year. If he doesn't receive something like a "state funeral" there's no justice in this world... Can _any_ of us imagine a world without that man? 😮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿♥️🇬🇧🖖

Hi Connor, that Elk call was surprising, such a high-pitched sound for such a large animal. Although Sir David began his stellar career back in 1954, his brother Richard, Lord Attenborough had already been a film actor for more than ten years. You'd know him best as the owner of Jurassic Park, he was also a director, Gandi, A Bridge Too Far, and others.

[@johnkemp8904]

I recollect his elder brother Richard Attenborough once reminiscing that when they were young he would be hanging around theatre stage doors whilst ‘Dave’ would be coming home with wiggly things in jam jars. Thus were set the career paths of two great men.

[@martinsear5470]

The phrase GOAT gets thrown around a lot, Sir David is The GOAT.

[@krystalryan9174]

I was once asked if I had an hour to spend with anyone, who would i pick. I could have been a smartass and said some beautiful female but I gave an honest answer. I would love to spend an hour speaking with David Attenborough. I have my favourite actors and sports people but he is my most favourite person in the world.

He was the same age as Queen Elizabeth. Sadly, only one of them is still around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Wcf6mClJuCaas

He's 98. His documentaries over the decades on the BBC have fundamentally changed the world's attitude to the planet. You have to watch them all. He is the world's best educator when it comes to natural history and the environment.

Wow... had not heard an elk call before and I thought I had seen heard almost every wildlife show.ever. Amazing sound 😊

[@Shoomer1988]

Sir David also met the Queen on many occasions and actually became quite close to Her Majesty, but his clip of them exploring the garden and telling her the sundial is in a stupid place is great.

[@helenwood8482]

You're absolutely right. A lot of animals that are hostile to most humans have let him get very close. The mountain gorillas let him get close to their babies, not something they would normally do. Nothing is more effective with animals than showing your sincere love and respect.

[@mattybob12310]

Wolf and Elk calls are very ethereal, 100% agree with you !

[@WookieWarriorz]

mate we love obama in europe haha hes probably been your best president in my lifetime hes a genuinely respectable and professional person and definitely has the aura of a leader. His convo with David was great and particularly important to bring the discussion of climate change to americans.

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Please don't generalise. We don't all love O'bummer. He was a poor president and married his boyfriend. A total fraud. His policies were nothing and he was mostly snake oil smoothness. His rise to the top is suspicious.

[@Rocky19577]

It said at the beginning its Davids best moments including interviews. Thats why its there. If you stopped pausing and talking over it you would have heard it.

[@szabados1980]

And Sir David was absolutely right to take the opportunity to sit down with the president and talk to the Americans. Although I also prefer his meeting with our late Queen.

[@mervinmannas7671]

I think the reason the Obarma clip was included is to highlight just how well repected Sir David is. There are probably plenty of scientists the president could go to for advice but by talking to Sir David someone not only an expert but widely loved. It would emphasis that the President was taking this seriously and that it would maybe get the message across to the audience as Sir David is so well known. It made for good TV rather than someone the public didnt know.

David Attenborough was born around the same time as our late Queen. They were friends over many decades. He's around 98 years old now. Love from the UK.

Sir David has "been there" my whole life, as in he has always been on the TV. And I'm 52 years old. I'm not a fan, that would be an understatement, the man is a legend. In the true sense of the word. And on a sidenote...when I se Lonely George again, I actually can't hold back a tear. The last one of a whole species. It's the same when I see that old movie clip of the last (or maybe not the last) Tasmanian tiger that actually froze to death. But Sir David, I salute you!

[@rosemaryjessop4045]

I have always loved animals and Davied Atteborough! He is amazing especially as he is still campaigning for the benefit of future generations. We were actually on holiday in Adelaide, Australia from our home in Devon, England when Steve Irwin died. Very sad, very young.

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

2:37 You have a valid point regarding what is known as 'sexual selection'. The main investment is usually carried out by females, developing and raising the young for the most part over the males. As such, many sexual species have evolved strategies wherein the females select males on the basis of certain traits usually, but not always, contributing to fitness (meaning the amount of offspring produced, as well as quality therein).. Anyway, I only commented to point out your use of 'female species' and 'male species'. Perhaps that was just cutting your words down instead of saying 'female/male *members of a species'.*
