I've been to Nepal, but I'd like to go to Tibet. It must be a wonderful place to go. I don't think there's anything there, but it would be a nice place to visit.

You have to steer a course between not appalling people, but at the same time not misleading them.
David Attenborough

I've never actually met one in the wild, but I have seen a king cobra. They go towards people, they rear up six feet tall and they're very aggressive and they are very fast. And one bite means certain death. So if I encountered a king cobra in the wild I would be very alarmed.

The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?

If we and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if the invertebrates were to disappear, the world's ecosystems would collapse

I would love to see a giant squid. Very few people have seen them. And only about half a dozen people have seen one alive.

Birds are the most accomplished aeronauts the world has ever seen. They fly high and low, at great speed, and very slowly. And always with extraordinary precision and control.

It never really occurred to me to believe in God.

No one will protect what they don't care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced.

I'm against this huge globalisation on the basis of economic advantage.

I would love to go and see the Himalayan Mountain Kingdoms. There are very few left now. I would loved to have gone to Tibet and Nepal. And there are still parts of central Asia that are utterly unexplored.
David Attenborough
Image
The idea that the Lord had given us a present, that the world is a gift from God... well, the amount of stuff, back then, that the Lord was giving away was limited. We do not have dominion.
David Attenborough
Image
I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programmes a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature.
David Attenborough
Image
I've been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: 'Oh, it's not poisonous' Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
David Attenborough
Image
I am an ardent recycler. I would like to think that it works. I don't know whether it does or not.
David Attenborough

Fundamentally not to waste energy. If we were all to reduce our demands for energy, it would make an enormous amount of difference.

The more you go on, the less you need people standing between you and the animal and the camera waving their arms about.

I don't like rats, but there's not much else I don't like. The problem with rats is they have no fear of human beings, they're loaded with foul diseases, they would run the place given half the chance, and I've had them leap out of a lavatory while I've been sitting on it.

I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.

Its about cherishing the woodland at the bottom of your garden or the stream that runs through it. It affects every aspect of life.

Apart from anything else, I am designed by evolution, like we all are: if we see a little thing like that, big eyes, tiny nose, we go 'aaah'. That's what evolution does. We are programmed to do that. So to find babies the most amazing, isn't surprising, I don't think.
