Bill Bailey's Jungle Hero (2013)
Comedian Bill Bailey embarks on an exotic and thrilling journey to retrace the steps of one of the greatest unsung heroes of natural science and exploration - Alfred Wallace. This is the story of a brilliantly eccentric British explorer who survived man-eating tigers, head-hunting tribesmen, pirate attacks and sinking ships. Alfred changed the way we see life on Earth, but he has since been written out of history. Bill has become obsessed with Wallace and shares his passion for wildlife and Indonesia.

@@lennarthagen3638 The narration is phrased weirdly, making it seem like they're talking about Bill.

[@user-jz2fh3le8j]

​@@mokarokas-1727 still confusing considering Bill is from and lives in England, not the US 😅

Sad

[@letolethe3344]

Sorry, but I need more video of the animals themselves and less of the people trying to find them. While admirable, they're not very interesting.

[@helloflesh3367]

Sorry, but this is KZbin, a free platform, and you have the ability to click away to literally thousands of videos about orangutans.

The summarily are the skeleton and having thumbs. Skeleton structure dose not make us related. Also people have a unique genetic make up to all other life on earth!
