In america they have Sigourney Weaver doing the narration. When it comes to Attenborough's piece to camera at the end, they must wonder who the hell he is.

For the more sensitive posters on here, the BBC have tweeted that every turtle hatchling shown was placed in the sea afterwards.

I am amazed the cameramen/ scientists helping with the series put the turtles back in the water. I thought cameramen and others kind of had a no intervention rule about such things. I guess as its human created they feel its OK.
Loved the series. Love David. I also love Hyena's. They are fascinating creatures. The largest hunters in Africa and not just scavengers like many think. They are amazing large predators that are as interesting as lions. Lets all appreciate them

I would like to think that all those people going about their business would have collected the baby turtles to take back to the sea.
Turtles that get crushed by cars are food for insects and birds, possibly rats or mice too. |

Animals and birds that are much maligned and misunderstood. |

Even the ones that got squashed on the road ![]() Poor little mites. What a way to start life just because of us humans ![]() We need David Attenborough ending speech played through the day to make people realise what is happening

Nature is a hugely wasteful mistress with or without human assistance. |

I love the concept of introducing wildlife back into our cities as they are doing in Singapore, but sadly that's gonna do sod all for rhinos, giraffes, tigers etc. i read recently that giraffes will very soon join the list of critically endangered species. That's an alarming prospect considering what great survivors they are. Or should I say, what great survivors they have been so far. |

So happy to hear some of the turtles were given a hand. I kept thinking about them today.
![]() Anyone who claims helping them is interfering with nature must be a right miserable git. Especially when it;s a man made problem in the first place. |

Earlier on I read a review of the DVD on Amazon by a supposed expert on Nature and Nature programmes and they basically said that the whole series was complete crap, they came across as a bit of an idiot!
