96 years old and going strong. Thank you Sir David.
He's simply Amazing ❤️
Sir David Attenborough is the definition of an international treasure. Thank you, sir, for continuing to record more and more science programs in that same wonderfully calming voice of yours, no matter the insanity that exists elsewhere around us. Your voice is like a warm, home cooked meal. Always feels right and comfortable.
Kinda weird comparison but I know what you mean lol
I whole heartedly agree with you. In my humble opinion, the designation of knight has been bestowed on many people in our living past, yet I feel very few deserve such an honor as much as Sir. David Attenborough. His dedication to the natural world is to be admired and rewarded accordingly
Alot of praise
Couldn't of said it better.. calming voice ,home cooked meal,👍👌
I am just dismayed that Attenbrough should be the most Thankful to Almighty for what he has seen
I went through a period of really bad panic attacks/anxiety and David Attenborough/nature docs really helped me through that time. It is calming but still interesting enough to keep your mind engaged.
Same here. Had a breakdown and was bedbound for months. His documentaries helped so so much
I always loved him as a kid and into adult hood. I also really suffered with anxiety and stress… Now at 43 I've been diagnosed with autistic spectrum… This calming and interesting world that David Attenborough and the production team creates it's just perfect to sink into and melt away all your troubles whilst learning so much about the world. :-) Just great for an artistic! Of any age!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I feel very dissasociated when I have anxiety and this seems to bring me back
Try Jack Hargreaves, similar vibe
#MeToo
I can listen to Sir David Attenborough's voice for like hours straight. It looks like The nature chooses him to represent its concern to the World.
I asked mother nature, she said yes and you're welcome. Lol. Jk

साइंस की स्टूडेंट हो या आर्ट्स या कॉमर्स में
indeed. He's like the messiah of wildlife education
Me too. ✋
I can't believe I've never heard of this plant before! One that can spontaneously combust?! This is what I love about nature, you think you've seen everything, then you discover something new and amazing! Natures ability to amaze people is what keeps me coming back.
Please don't bring it to America.
I wonder if that’s the biblical burning bush plant?
@@Lynda812 Probably. The geography matches
Fire flower
@@peterherrington3300 are the leaves fireproof?
That self ignite plants is insane
I was hoping for a real demonstration.
Is this Moses' Burning Bush ?
@@j4rey989 Just what i thought aswell. Turns out it combusts by itself and no god is needed.
@Craftylemon People have to grow up eventually
If you think about it, it means that plants discovered how to make fire way before humans. We made fire about 2 million years ago, but a plant like this has likely existed much longer.
Props to the sound guy that invented the "plant growing" sound effect used on every one of these
Foley artist's can be pretty impressive
I think he’s related to the guy who invented the fire sound ;))))
I still have hope for the release of the 'gurgling fly' sound.
Foley artists are wizards. If rhubarb is anything to go by, plants growing sounds more like crackling and squeaking pops.
Imagine how terrifying human hunting carnivorous plants would be? Like falling into a pitcher plant that you cant climb out of or trapped in a venus fly traps jaws.
Have you read Day of the Triffids? Great book.
I watched the movie. I like it.
Then getting stuck in quicksand at the bottom that dissolves your body while you're still alive.
New fear unlocked
feed me, Seymour...
The other day I found myself watching another of his plant documentaries without even realising I was there for hours just calmed and charmed by his amazing voice calmly and clearly explaining stuff.....Such a wonderful man
Be honest. You weren't searching for this. It just popped up
No. I searched for it
I searched for this too ur wrong
😂true
It did indeed...
Can you… shut up?
What a class act, Sir David Attenborough is. A true treasure of humanity.
The burning plant is amazing ...evolution is really mind bending!
Sir David Attenborough is the perfect nap time tv voice. He’s my version of Bob Ross 🙌🏻🤩 can’t believe he is doing this STILL at 95 years old!
97 now
I grew up listening to David Attenborough’s nature shows still going strong that’s amazing keep trucking man
My guy has his own pitcher plant that he has been growing for two years now. It is so interesting and really cool to watch grow!
There’s a group of ppl in this world that have the pleasure of being lucky enough to have Sir David in our entire lives. I’m 39 and remember being very very little listening to him while my dad and brothers watched a documentary.
Those leaf growing sounds will haunt me forever now...
It's a G I G A N T I C TUBER turns corpse smelling flower . 😂😰 😧😂 Is creepy..
I'm sure it's just bad foley, sorry.
That statement is truly hilarious!!
@@dyllans1225 bad foliage?
Those leaf growing sounds are fake, like the sounds you hear in movies. Sound designers create them to make it more interesting.
David is a living legend
Thank You, Sir David Attenborough. For all your dedicated work. Trying to save the earth. Trying to save us, from ourselves. ✨
Thank you for all your hard work filmmakers and David.
I usually hear Attenborough commenting about animals. It was such joy to hear him narrate a video about plants. Plants can be so fascinating!
Its always a pleasure to spend some time with David ! Thank You Nature Bites !
Awesome sir.... you are a true inspiration....huge respect for you Sir🙏..... every time I see you my heart and mind bow before u
A smaller version of the largest bloom grows in Thailand, near where I resided for 20 yrs. Its bloom is dark brown and spreads about 2 feet wide, thick and dry/fleshy. I once saw 2 little boys cutting one open with a penknife. They each took a large black beetle from inside, tied a cotton string to the beetle, and used them as toys, ....buzzing around at the end of their 30 inch tethers, around the boys' heads and bodies. The seed stalk from that plant has amazing garbanzo bean sized smooth and shiny seeds, bright primary colors, either bright yellow, bright red, or bright blue. As it comes out of the ground, it grows very fast and looks exactly like the plant shown in this video special.
I love the way he tell the story of nature in reality so true words and knowledge thanks always I appreciate ❤❤
5:53 I have the same plant (Titan Arum) in my yard, also not all the plants of titan bud as a flower as shown in this video but all of them definitely have leaves. Actually the roots of that plant are gigantic and it’s edible as a vegetable, when cooked properly it tastes delicious.
I had no idea the bulb was edible!
They're tasty and nutritious but why eat them when you can raise them lol
Cooking property is the key. And that flower can also editable.
What do you call the plant in your language, Amit bhai? I am curious to know.
It’s beautiful to see the flowers “sleep” and “wake” during the titan time lapse 🤩
Got me at the end with the peyote there Sir, was not expecting that 😅
What about it?
@Satwik K look it up, it's a crazy hallucinogen
That's not peyote, that's Lophophora diffusa. Peyote is Lophophora williamsii, and it is much flatter and blue, with well-defined ribs and white flowers with central pink stripes down the petals.
Self immolating plant was mind blasting.. Mother nature is truly amazing
Alien species.
Sir Attenborough is the best and we thank him and the crews for all the hard work!!!🙏👌🦉❣️
Plant with ability to create fire before humans could...😳🔥
Imagine being the first person to discover that. They were probably not right for a couple of months
I remember a story of a guy who spoke to a burning bush
Thank you so much David and Nature Bites!
A self combusting plant now that’s fascinating! It’s like something right out of a video game or from an alien planet like pandora.
Not really! Go to Australia and see all the Eucalyptus leaves releasing oils in the air and leaving a blue haze, type into Google "Blue Mountains". It's not an unusual mechanism in plants.
Such a great man Many many salutes for bringing this video to us. Now this is video which require patience and time. Nothing is instant in this world.
A plant that burns itself. Everytime i watxh Sir David Attenborough's documentaries I'm always fascinated
I could watch him & listen to him for hours!
It's nice to finally put a face to the voice of someone I've learned so much from over the years.
Thanks to the camera man for going inside the pitcher plants to bring us amazing footage of digesting insects.
I think now they use tiny remote cameras. I've seen them used even in tiny insect holes in the ground.
@@gy2gy246you are ruining it for me. 😢
I can listen to sir voice all day along... 🙏
That one voice l can go on listening to endlessly..Sir David Attenborough's magical and enchanting voice is always so soothing to the soul.
Sir David Attenborough had been" teaching "me for more than 40 years.
Has* been ....
While watching the pitcher plant section i kept wondering "why doesnt the fly simply fly away?!" lol
That fly is a paid actor!!!!.
David's voice is so soothing . Greatest narrator ever.
These are the best Timelapse’s I’ve ever seen they’re absolutely seamless
I believe this is from his series on plants repeated on "Nature" on PBS a few months ago. If that's so, you might find the other on the "Nature" channel on YT.
His voice is the best EVER!!!
Many years ago, i had a "Neophentes Alata" meat eating plant at home. It had around 15-20 big cocoons. I had it hanging from the roof in my living room. Flies and small spiders is basically what ended up at the bottom of the cocoons. This plant required a lot of water in the cocoons, and also outside on the big leaves. This plant were from a rainy area.
I thought they said it stinks like rotting flesh? How did that work with having it inside your house?
Mine didn't stink, but some other kinds might do,
@@V3ntilator huh, okay, well thanks for answering!
@@DosYeobos I’ve kept many types of Nepenthes, none of them smelled bad.
Good info for off grid people. Thank you for your help and info. 😮😮😮
Love Sir David ! An These Beautiful Plants about to start raising them
How's it going?
I love everything that he's narrated
amazing nature bless and beautiful
Remarkable work. Keep up the good work Sir.
Hands down the BEST voiceover artist in the industry!! If I could I'd call this dude every night to get him to speak to me ever so softly as I drift away to sleep😁😁g.
Awesome!! Thank you 🤗
Thank you soon much Sir David for all the thousands and thousands of hours that you have spent dedicating your life ,so that we can enjoy and appreciate our beautiful world.
It's his job! I think 'every day' nurses, who are being underpaid and overworked, deserve more credit.
@@carmenl163 you could bring some random comparison to any random statement like this.c and the dude is still like in his 90s doing it. This has nothing to do with nurses
In 93 I took a biology class that met on Saturday mornings for 3 hours. Lectures were an Attenborough series from the early 90's. It was an entertaining class.
Wow his voice is a gift I wish my teachers had this amazing voice
God bless this man’s future with so many more years of life . his been like mentor for so many nature activists and conservationists I’m in my 50s and I remember my self as a child I used to run to the TV every time I hear his voice bringing the world knowledge about nature
Another great video sequence from my absolute favorite presenter. Thank you to the staff who put together these videos for my enjoyment. I honestly appreciate it
Nature is incredibly amazing! Thanks for the content.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى said, كَذَٰلِكَ يُحْيِي اللَّهُ الْمَوْتَىٰ وَيُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His Ayat (Signs), so that you may understand. [Al-Baqarah 2:73] أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ Do they not observe the earth - how much of every noble good kind (of growth) We cause to grow therein? إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ Verily, in this is an Ayah (Sign), yet most of them are not believers. [Ash-Shu'araa' 26:7-8] يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ He manages and regulates all affairs; He explains the Ayat (Signs) in detail, that you may in the meeting with your Lord, be certain. [Ar-Ra'd 13:2] إِلَى اللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ To Allah is your return, and He is Able to do all things. [Hud 11:4] وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِن بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ And if you were to say to them: "You shall indeed be raised up after death (for the Day of Judgement)," those who disbelieve would be sure to say: "This is nothing but obvious magic." [Hud 11:7] أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ Do they attribute as partners to Allah those who created nothing but they themselves are created? [Al-A'raaf 7:191] أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators? أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are not certain. [At-Tur 52:35-36] وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except time (Ad-Dahr)." And they have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture. [Al-Jaathiyah 45:24] ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ That is because they loved and preferred the life of this world over that of the Hereafter. And Allah guides not the people who disbelieve. [An-Nahl 16:107] وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ ۗ مَن يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ Those who reject Our Ayat (Signs) are deaf and dumb in the darkness. Allah sends astray whom He wills and He guides on the Straight Path whom He wills. [Al-An'aam 6:39] وَإِن يَرَوْا كُلَّ آيَةٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءُوكَ يُجَادِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ And even if they see every one of the Ayat (Signs) they will not believe therein; to the point that when they come to you to argue with you, the disbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients." [Al-An'aam 6:25] وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is inside the chests (hearts of men). أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Subtle, All-Aware (of everything). [Al-Mulk 67:13-14]
I love sir David explanation ♥️
Thank you so much sir❤
beautiful
Short and sweet. Love me some david Attenborough so i do
Sir David Attenborough quite simply a Legend and a British national treasure thank you for all your wisdom and information over the years 🙏 😊
I love him so much...The way he narrates things is marvelous
Vimal bolo zuban kesri😂😂😂
Fantastic video and commentary ❤
This is magical to me and I'm not just talking about the peyote plant..lol... Makes me want to learn so much all the way down to the molecule... To understand all..
God is great.
Bless everyday we have with David! What A Legend
A legendary commie
@@Sugarsail1 Prove it
Thanks sir David, that's a awesome explanation 👍
i had the same ad for period pads 4 times watching this video, it was a very interesting one! 😄
Qué curiosas plantas, tus reportajes David siempre me han encantado. 😊
My first time viewing such but I can tell that this guy is good at what he does
amazing amazing video, The Venusfly trap is a freak of nature💙💙💙💙
LOVE Nepenthes! I have a collection of them in my house. Extraordinary plants
I'm a plant nut and I've killed every carnivorous plants I've had as I'm more succulent / cactus oriented but I set them up on a wick system but I think the 20% humidity in the winter here in Minnesota indoors was a huge factor in their decline, do you use humidifiers to keep yours happy?
Wow, I bet those had a good time ' evolving ' . I love the way he makes it sound as if the plant had a brain and intellect and spent time pondering how it might get the chemicals and nutrients it needs.
It was obviously designed by someone
Evolution is incredible over many millions of years . Narrow minded creationists wouldn't understand
Plants are actually quite intelligent - science is only just starting to reveal their mysteries. They communicate, have the ability to learn, and have even been shown to take care of their young and old, sharing more nutrients with them to help them survive. They are not the unthinking, unfeeling organisms we might like to think they are.
@@peterherrington3300 how blind
Mam 50 lat i odkąd pamiętam pan Dawid zawsze wspaniałe opowiadał o przyrodzie. Dzięki mu za to.😂
Sir David is awesome.

Wow a lot of very new to me. Thank you sir...
Interesting, instructive and wonderful nature.
Nice to listen to you Sir
Fascinating!!!!
Thank you for amazing videos you shared to us...
The pitcher plant segment is the most terrifying film I've ever watched.
It was like looking at a real life torture chamber
Absolutely brilliant 👏
This video is exactly why I talk nicely to my houseplants! I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night with a diabolical plant trying to melt me with enzymes! 😃
😂😂
Funny :D
Jazakallah hu khair 🌺
I enjoy listening to David Attenborough. He is the best narrator for any nature documentary.
Thank you ❤
Tnx ,amazing this I love this .❤good educational program .
The burning bush!
I love u I swear 😂😂😂😂
I was looking for this comment 😅
Just tought about that, maybe it has connection with Bible
Wow. A Jenius.
but lower don their are a up rirght bristle
If i wished someone eternal life and health, it would be Sir Attenborough.
Sir ur my always inspirtnnn...I love ur documents
I've seen several Titan Arums bloom at the SF Conservatory of Flowers. They have a few of them so they usually have one blooming every 2 years or so. The most recent was earlier this year, and they also had one last year.
Love you sir David!
So beautiful
this man is a global treasure
He is👍
