David Attenborough returns to the island of Madagascar on a very personal quest.
Subscribe: bit.ly/BBCEarthSub
Watch highlights from Attenborough's orginal trip in 1961 here • Sir David Attenborough...
In 1960, he visited the island to film one of his first ever wildlife series - Zoo Quest. Whilst he was there, he acquired a giant egg belonging to an extinct bird known as the 'elephant bird' - the largest bird that ever lived. It has been one of his most treasured possessions ever since.
Fifty years older, he now returns to the island to find out more about this amazing creature and to see how the island has changed. Could the elephant bird's fate provide lessons that may help protect Madagascar's remaining wildlife?

When he says "come on little one" to the lemur I instantly had a flashback to his brother Sir Richard (RIP) encouraging the baby raptor to break out of the egg in the original Jurassic Park.

It's possible earth could be the most alien planet in the universe. We have flying things, swimming things, floating things. We have shape changers, color changers and everything inbetween. There are animals with tentacles, other animals with legs, arms. We have animals that live in extreme cold, extreme heat, and even in acid. Some animals lay eggs, others give live births. There are giants, and microscopic ones as well. Then we have the smoothest talking alien of them all, David Attenborough. 🙂 What a wonderful alien world we live in.

These birds in the wild are gone this is very sad . What’s in your opinion the best thing we can do for such tragic loss . Thanks David Brown from Detroit

One of the things that fascinates me is that eggs really can't get much bigger than that. Even the eggs of giant sauropods that were 90+ feet long and 50+ tons couldn't have been much bigger than those of an elephant bird. Once you get up to the size of a basketball eggs can't be much larger or the shells would either collapse in on themselves or be too thick for whatever is in them to break out.
