Got to share this classic with the twins tonight...great hook into the documentary binge I've been prepping for weeks 🥰 #planetearth #planetearth2 youtu.be/el4CQj-TCbA?...

Attenborough on Parky on BBC4. To mark it, the obligatory glory of the wee iguana against racer snake bastards. #PlanetEarth2

Here’s the #planetearth2 footage:

You guys.

They repeated the bird of paradise footage between #PlanetEarth and #planetearth2

Alright. That was six episodes of #PlanetEarth2 - or, as I called it multiple times while stoned, “Planet Nature.” Thanks for not unfollowing me over it.

Did James Cameron just steal the art direction for Avatar directly from Singapore or is this a case of convergent design? #PlanetEarth2

“Are you - did you just hug a penguin and say ‘squish’”
[i delicately put down the penguin]
“No. I said “squeesh.”
“Please don’t squish the penguins.” #PlanetEarth2

I could never be a nature documentarian. “Amanda please don’t hug the raccoons. What’s in your pockets?”
“Nothing.”
“Is that - are your pockets full of baby turtles?”
“They were confused by the lights!” #PlanetEarth2

Normally I’m Team Anything Other Than Pigeons but I’m not ok with a giant catfish that can hunt. Kill them with fire. #PlanetEarth2

I am not ok with the film crew just letting the monkeys pickpocket people for the sake of content. #PlanetEarth2

I’m going to need a lot more baby raccoon content. In this show and in general. Thanks. #PlanetEarth2

I just cheered for a bird stealing a felt heart from another bird. #PlanetEarth2

“Look at my shit! Look at my shit! Look at my shit! LOOK! AT! MY SHIIIIIT!” - Bower #PlanetEarth2

Wait he’s stealing trash from his neighbor’s trash pile? Fuck it no sympathy. Don’t be a dick man, you know that bird spent 2 hours organizing those bottle caps. #PlanetEarth2

I’ve never felt sadder for a bird than I do for this hoarder bird who spends 2 hours every day rearranging the literal garbage he uses to decorate his nest. #planetearth2

Life rule: if you’re feeding the monkeys enough that they can have twins, you’re over-feeding the monkeys. #PlanetEarth2

Last episode of #PlanetEarth2! Time to learn about big city monkeys. Fun fact: monkeys freak me out so this should be promising.

Do you think that sometimes, when a lion pack loses a hint, a couple of the lionesses start gossiping about the others? “Well you know we lost that musk ox because Sheila’s slow.” #PlanetEarth2

Watching these two wild horses fight for dominance becomes a lot more poignant when you imagine them both arguing in BoJack voices. #planetearth2

It took me several seconds to process that Attenborough was saying “these zebra” and not “these Debras.”

It’s weird to know you can pronounce words better than David Attenborough. #planetearth2

Locusts are proof there is no benevolent God.

Why do they exist? Why are they so hungry? What are they up to that they have to eat so much? #planetearth2

[Wilson’s Bird of Paradise appears on screen]

Me: What kind of The Capitol shit is this thing? It’s the Caesar Flickerman of birds. #planetearth2

Ok Frog Claude Van Damme kicking the wasps away from his eggs is my favorite action movie.

After he kicked he first one I bet he said “I’ll bee seeing you.” #planetearth2

Having camouflage would be so boring. Attenborough makes it sound whimsical “A gecko masquerading as lichen.” But your whole day is spent standing still.

You walk two steps, then you’re stuck as a lichen for six hours, obsessing over that thing you said at work. #PlanetEarth2

I was refilling my water when David Attenborough said “Giant otters the size of a man” and I got very excited about the thought of giant, van-sized otters.

This is the first time I’ve ever been disappointed to see regular otters. #planetearth2

Also @Attenboroughs_D is way better than most of this thread so go follow that instead. #planetearth2

Wait why do baby iguanas know how to run like they’re in The Matrix, but baby spider monkeys have to learn how to swing?

I just watched a baby monkey fall out of a tree like three times how did we evolve from monkeys and not parkour lizards. #planetearth2

“Like every jungle animal, Indri have to find their own way to survive in the most competitive place on Earth.”

You think the jungle is competitive? Just wait for episode 4, set at my high school.

This was a joke for literally 7 people who follow me.

#planetearth2

Time to mute me because it’s time for EPISODE 3 JUNGLES WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE AT TURNS HEARTWARMING AND ALSO NIGHTMARE-INDUCING #PlanetEarth2

“Mother and cub were not seen again.

[pause]
[pause]
[pause]
[I quietly mourn the death of a strong female snow leopard]
[civilizations rise and fall]
[the sun becomes a red giant]

“Until over a month later, high on a ridge -“

DO NOT TOY WITH ME, ATTENBOROUGH. #PlanetEarth2
