It's Sunday morning, this is Newsround with me, Ricky. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
First up, a very happy birthday to Sir David Attenborough, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
one the world's most famous wildlife explorers on TV. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Today he turns 90 years old and we've been taking a look back | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
at what natural wonders he has uncovered over the years | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
during is epic career. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
Even before colour TV, David Attenborough was travelling | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
around the world to explore remote areas | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
and find out about wildlife. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
For more than 60 years now, he has been | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
bringing back amazing footage of rare animals, plants and insects, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
to audiences around the world. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
These engaging chicks are so inquisitive | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
that you only have to sit down to their own level for them all to | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
gather around you to try and discover what sort of creature you | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
are. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
He is so influential he has 30 honorary degrees, a knighthood, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
and even had a new species named after him, including a type | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
of spider, a flesh eating plant and a fossilised fish. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:11 | |
No museum in the world has a complete specimen of this species. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
Human beings exterminated it in the middle of the 17th century. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
There are a lot of animals today that face | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
the same fate as the dodo. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
He's used his programmes to tell people about | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
different animals that need protection from extinction. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Some of his biggest admirers include US President Barack Obama and CBBC's | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
very own Steve Backshall. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
My earliest memories of Sir David Attenborough were watching his | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
Zoo Quest series, which was quite a long time ago now. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
I instantly thought, that is amazing, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
that is what I want to do with my life. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
Hello. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
Attenborough often gets up close and personal with the | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
animals in his programmes. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
His unique voice and enthusiastic descriptions are his trademark. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
These are greylag geese, the same species that | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Konrad Lorenz worked with. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:07 | |
David Attenborough has changed the way many people see and think | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
about the natural world. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
From everyone here at Newsround, a very happy birthday. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:21 | |
And topping off our celebratory first bulletin of the day, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
yes, Leicester have finally got their hands on that | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Premier League trophy! | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
The Foxes beat Everton 3-1 in front of their home fans - | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
and it wasn't just them that were celebrating. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Over in Thailand - the home of Leicester City's owners - | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
fans there were getting in on the action too, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
with paint on their faces and stickers on their heads. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
All while watching the match on the big screen. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
That's your lot for now, we'll back through your afternoon | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
