Attenborough's Ark
Attenborough's Ark
Tonight on BBC 2 at 9pm, this programme could be worth a look or recording. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01ntt8p
Re: Attenborough's Ark
I missed the first half because of "Have I got news for you" but the second half was great. Does anyone know which butterfly house he was in - it looked like it could have been the one at Bristol Zoo?

It was really great. So many fascinating creatures.
I dont know which butterfly house it was but you cant doubt the sheer joy that butterfly brought him.

There is an episode being broadcast at 1930hrs on BBC2 this evening. Don't know whether it's the same one.

Re: Attenborough's Ark
I really enjoyed this.
It was easy watching, whilst at the same time put an important message across.
Some new and very interesting creatures featured - can't say I've ever come across a Solenodon or an Olm before ...
I want a Quoll for Christmas

Cheers for spotting that Mark - I'd prefer a Pangolin, it would look good hanging from the curtain rail

Re: Attenborough's Ark
Must admit, I thought that the quoll was by far the most engaging creature. They are simply gorgeous.
Bit disappointed that the Birdwing butterfly got less airtime than any of the others.

I agree, it is a shame the butterfly got barely a mention compared to the other creaturesDavid M wrote:Bit disappointed that the Birdwing butterfly got less airtime than any of the others.

That Olm is certainly a strange beast. Did I imagine it or did Mr Attenborough say it can go without food for 10 years and live for over 100
