Bloody Penquins literally, some being smashed to pieces on rocks. Komodo dragons cage fighting, and F1 snakes after baby lizards, it was like watching WW3. I thought it would be a nice quiet nature film. Then we got Dan Snow searching for gold in the wilds of the Klondike on their own with helicopters boat builders tow boats and around thirty minders. Why did they not fly in do a bit of panning and fly out?

PS. I hid the kitkat in the fridge in case we get bears wandering around in the night.
This is starting to sound like posters only liking species that are pretty and not aggressive.
Those Comodo Dragons fighting were scary and the poor little lizards being chased by those horrid snakes. How about those small bugs which we encourage to eat the poor aphids? The slugs being eaten alive by nematodes. Those poor penguins getting battered.
Nature is red in tooth and claw. It would be scary to young children though.
Those Bullers Alabatross were very handsome birds.
I loved the Planet Earth episode and was amazed at the speed of those snakes. I was cheering on the little marine iguana and holding my breath to see it escape. Nature just doing its 'thing'.
BTW - and I apologise if this has been mentioned somewhere else already but I was really angry about the earthworm - forever to be known as Dave - who was killed to be stuck in a museum. When I first listened to the story on the Beeb and they were all saying how long he was etc.etc. and then they reported he had died I felt quite sad for him. Then in a later covering of the story the scientist said he had been painlessly euthanised I was incensed. How cheap is life! They could have kept Dave in a wormery to see if he would increase in size. On a lighter note, the film 'Tremors' came into my head and retribution for the needless slaughter of Dave.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
We were cheering on the baby iguanas against the snakes.
Apparently the BBC want to cut down the natural history unit.
What's the betting they all go and work for National Geographic. I'd sooner they cut out some of the antique and baking programmes. Or cut the salary of some of the "presenters" that do chat shows and the like.
Loved this prog! Some of the shots "didn't look real" to me - maybe it was the ultra-high definition film they used?
Those Komodo Dragons! I can't believe we share a planet with those creatures! They look so dinosaur; so alien! I too was shouting at the Iguanas! Best prog all week.
I loved the snakes, the Komodo dragons, ants, crabs all of it. I love the way nature survives and evolves taking on the elements and challenges and still finding a way to thrive. The most disturbing part was how humans have been responsible for so much of the decline in many species. That's the real story.
