Has anyone been watching this marvellous BBC nature programme hosted by the one and only Sir David Attenborough?
It is a follow on from Planet Earth 1 and 11.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06mybwy
It's a one hour programme over 5 episodes.
Five extraordinary animals, battling rivals and the forces of nature for the future of their families.
If you love wildlife you will enjoy this.
It's emotional, brutal and often heartwarming to watch.
Beautiful stunning photography, which we have all come to expect with all Attenborough programmes
Also ends with Sir David telling us how long each episode took to film. Nearly 3 years for the chimpanzee episode. It shows you the camera men and women and their struggles to get the perfect shot.
The final words are from the great man himself. Talking about the loss of the environment for these animals. With the chimps it's due to gold mining in Senegal. The numbers of chimpanzees in this region has been decimated to 200.
If you love David Attenborough, wildlife and care for the environment, this is a must watch series...

I recorded it and just about to watch. It's been an amazing series, but then all Sir David's are. The man is a living legend in my book.

Loads of excerpts on You Tube. However, this is the first full episode I could find. (It was the first one on TV)
The Chimpanzee Dynasty
Sorry I had to remove that. It had nothing to do with it at all. Someone was 'having a laugh'!!!!

I always watch the repeated programme when it's on. You always catch things you miss and appreciate it all the more.
