LOVE YOU MR. ATTENBOROUGH!

[@drinny26]

I planted an elephant ear plant for the first time and cannot believe how water resistant the leaves are. It’s amazing.

[@jennywithaglock3916]

have you noticed how they even excrete excess water through their leaf borders? it collects at the tip of the leaf, take a look a day after your next watering :)

[@drinny26]

@@jennywithaglock3916 no but I will definitely take look. The leaves keep getting bigger and bigger.

[@carbon_no6]

Human skin is waterproof. We also sweat. Pretty much badasses!

[@gazepskotzs4]

​@@jennywithaglock3916 yes, banana and the most Aracea do this, Also the water a banana leaf pushes out also taste like banana!

[@teresadixon2899]

I've loved nature shows since I was little. And when my son was little he would insist on leaving his TV on, so I gave him the choice of National Geographic or Animal Planet. Nature shows are so soothing/relaxing!

[@Chase_baker_1996]

Indeed

[@xDevoneyx]

David Attenborough, what a legend. Still executionally passionated about nature.

[@townstunsltd6727]

The strategic evolutionary form and performance of plants is absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much.

[@sashagabriella8075]

My favorite channel since when I was a little kid.. lot of knowledge that I can learn it from... thank you Mr. David Attenborough for the knowledge about nature..is amazing..

[@exilbayer6377]

Sir, not Mr.!

[@julieprior3126]

Extraordinary. Fascinating. And just a bit spooky!

[@lohanysmith4316]

I never care about plants so much until I started watching his videos. They are so interesting and voice is perfect.

[@saschaschmidt7543]

Sir David Attenborough, your love to nautre, plants and animals is a big inspired for my. I wish i can say it to your face: Thank you

Fun fact: Taro leaves are also known as 'Brède Songe' in Mauritius, and its stem is cleaned and crushed to make really delicious items, especially a delicacy usually served for Indian weddings.

[@NightDocs]

I’ve been friends with Polynesians (mostly Tongan / Samoan) for years and I’m kind of embarrassed that I’m just now learning what the name of the Mauri language is lol

[@kasturiswami784]

How extraordinary!

[@ricardoperez3879]

The tora plant you will find that one on El Yunque national forest in Puerto Rico ...when i was a child we use the tora sleeve as a water cup ...we also have other plants like the tora plant that does the same thing and we eat there Roots ...

[@soheilak6208]

Hats off to you Sir

[@golddee2040]

Yeah... my mother in law grows taro. Came across some psychedelics the other day. Was hanging out in the garden playing with taro leaves after the rain.

[@fritzeder1847]

Probably a reason for many bush fires around the world as the "sisters" widely used as a decorative plant, therefore spread all over the world, so also in the US . California for example.

[@KevinKickChannel]

Usually it's arson though, since accelerants are often found

[@Tentin.Quarantino]

@@KevinKickChannel arson implies it’s a malevolent act. Many places require bush fires to maintain the land and control the levels of dry materials. The whole reason there were such bad bush fires a few years ago was that the galaxy-brains in government said to not do it any more due to ‘climate change’. It’s a great example of Chesterton’s fence.

[@akilahgeorge978]

Taro plants ; in our country we call it dasheen bush and the roots we just call it dasheen. They make so many delicious dishes in the Caribbean ❤

if someone having hallucinations sees the last plant burst into flame, they might think of it as the burning bush

I didn't know about sister plants but I got good information, it burns itself 😢

The plant that burns itself 7:00

[@renater.540]

May this plant have been the "original" of Moses' burning thornbush 🤔

[@huldu]

I like that plants approach to life, just destroy *everything* so their seed can survive. It's like us humans, I think that's why I like it so much.

[@exilbayer6377]

SIR David Attenborough! It is SIR!!!

[@NightDocs]

Thinking from an evolutionary perspective, it hurts my brain to try and imagine how plants develop systems like pollination in the first place in response to its interactions with the ecosystem around it

[@aisod34]

[@sindobrandnew]

0:40 Waterproof eh?

[@Simon_Jakle__almost_real_name]

There is a species of plant that has no "green cells" (anymore), a so-called fallen plant. And on an other hand there is a sea snail specimen that carries algae in its body. Would nature be embedded in the cosm? NatAm (native americans, even though one would rather say new norway natives or new asia natives) kind of avoided having a word for nature in use.

[@BState]

If that "phoenix plant" can spontaneously burst into flames then it shouldn't exist near that house, or any other house.

[@wonderwend1]

Way too many repeats. This is the 3rd time I've seen that orchid clip

[@SecretEyeSpot]

ah the only downside to Nature Docs as a whole. literally recycled clips with new voice overs

[@z-horn7265]

There we have the burning bush explained

[@fletch332001uk]

the plant can instantly burst into flame yet you are standing in the middle of them. Have a lot or respect for you sir, been watching your documentaries for 50+ years (in black and white), I watched every show I could, but this seems a little odd when you know they can burst into flame and you are standing in a field of them. You obviously were safe or you wouldn't be there

[@jonimitchell8037]

They look like many underwater plants found in oceans

[@user-re3zl1uj2c]

I look at nature and figure out all what we see is a combination of ingenious work of many different Gods scientists, who wrote codes to make different life circles of all the livings, The evolve which we see its perfection of former godly scientists,

Maybe? LOL Dinosaurs arrived at most 243 million years ago. Plants about 1 billion years ago.

Bite off your “roar” soundbite at the end. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again- it’s out of good taste following a narration by such an incredible man. You’re probably still not going to listen, so I’ll keep commenting. Love David. Wish he wasn’t on your channel.

so plants have intelligence, maybe people should stop eating these sentient beings....
