(Check the words for today)
David Attenborough is a British naturalist (naturforskare) and media personality best known for writing and presenting programs that have inspired the modern format of nature documentaries.
In his 94 years, Attenborough has visited every continent on the globe, documenting the living world in all its variety and wonder. Now, for the first time he reflects upon both the defining moments of his lifetime as a naturalist and the changes he has seen.
He once said, he does not love animals; he is fascinated by them. However, he also once admitted he hates rats.
