Madagascar - BBC HD - Island of Marvels - Part 1

Fifty years ago, Sir David Attenborough went to Madagascar to film early wildlife TV series Zoo Quest. With several return visits over the intervening years, the country and its wildlife has continued to capture his imagination.

Madagascar is an island of extremes. While the east is cloaked in soaking rainforest, the west and south is almost a desert. This is a scorching landscape where it might not rain for nine months of the year, and some years not at all. To live here, you have to be a specialist. The animals and plants of the dry southern lands are stranger and more mysterious than on any other part of the island, and their strategies for surviving the dryness are extraordinary.

its so disappointing, such educating and amazing videos, made by great people like Sir David Attenborough gets barely 6000 views, where'as stupid meaningless videos like Judas, gets millions of views !

People need to stop the Gaga hate, its getting old.

Why are you even comparing Lady Gaga videos to a Madagascar documentary? They are two completely different things lol

I'm a big Gaga fan but right now I'm here for sir David Attenborough not Lady Gaga.

@jamieboytellem I though the same no one cares for the planet just money and power and its sad.

[TECpeds94]

Its so beautiful i wana run from the city and go visit these beautiful places, run from the pollution and noise and experience cleaner air and natural noise emitted from these beautiful creatures. I swear as i get older i want to make an oath that i will try my hardest to go visit at least one beautiful place like this such as the rainforest and experience this wonderful nature :)

[jamieboytellem]

In 20years time natural marvels such as this may not exist due to human activity. I wonder how long it will take for us to realise we are destroying our planet!!?

Sir David Attenborouguh , a class act!

[superhornet69]

When the continents were all together, it was a great time to walk the earth and be free. I know, I was there as a warrior chieftan of the Great Northern Asshole tribe and we ruled the land for millenia before the Breakup.
