sandymere 8,263 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Some great shooting by those on the ground and one of the few sources of the reality of nature shown on TV these days so should be applauded! Max-wood the snakes are competing against each other to eat the lizard, one may catch but if another is strong/quick enough to steal it from them then its saved itself a lot of effort. Certainly shows the product of evolution and the forces that keep it going......survival! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 You gotta love a trier They can and do kill Giraffes on occasion. I was amazed that they'll even try. I guess I thought that they'd try for a smaller, safer meal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I thought that they'd try for a smaller, safer meal.They got no option sometimes, they only risk the big game if there's nothing else about. I remember watching a program about a group of elephant hunting lions a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaaark 10,858 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I'm with francie and dogfox123 on this one. They weren't real snakes, you could buy one of those from woollies and some other big stores for about 10p, I bought one about 45 years ago! Lol. I've got all attenborough's programs on tape, and nearly all his books, the man's a legend, and like the bbc or not, alot of the wildlife stuff, especially with david attenborough narrating, is top class Edited November 8, 2016 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,315 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Apparently the penguins were actually filmed at Penguin World at Chester zoo and Zavadovski island, which isn't even a place, was green screened on. The penguins supposedly smashed up on the rocks were all equity card carrying actors who spent hours in make up. Attenborough himself has actually been dead for years too, what you see on the screen is a mash up of old unused bits to camera with his lips CGI'd to lip sync the narration done by Alistair McGowan. f****n last time I'll be watching it ? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
