UKTV - Attenborough's Natural Curiosities (2013) Part 1 Stretched to the Limit.
Attenborough's Natural Curiosities
A five part series in which Sir David Attenborough shines the spotlight on some of nature’s evolutionary anomalies and how these curious animals continue to baffle and fascinate. Attenborough turns away from the kind of widescreen wildlife that often sweeps across our screens and adopts a more zoomed-in approach. As you’d expect, it’s exemplary broadcasting. What the series lacks in lush landscapes and beauty shots, it more than makes up for with extraordinary stats. It’s the best kind of educational television.
Part 1: Stretched to the Limit
David explores nature's evolutionary anomalies and examines two creatures whose stretched features have given them an edge in the natural world. The chameleon has an extra-long tongue that helps it catch prey and the giraffe's neck is so long it is easily able to reach the tops of trees for food.
