Attenborough’s Ark

Felt like I needed to do something non-political to clear my head a bit, and while surfing the web I came across this article:

Sir David Attenborough picks 10 animals he would take on his ark

For those who don’t know, Sir David Attenborough is the face and voice of a multitude of BBC nature documentaries.

Anyway, the Telegraph article provides his list but not many photos of the creatures on it. Since some of them are animals I’m not familiar with decided to do some image/video searching and post my results here. So on to Sir Attenborough’s list.

1. The black lion tamarin

2. The Sumatran Rhino

3. The Solenodon

4. The Olm salamander

5. The Marvellous Spatuletail humming bird

6. Darwin’s frog

7. Sunda pangolin

8. Priamus Birdwing Butterfly

9. Northern Quoll

10. Venus’s Flower Basket

“Attenborough’s Ark” will be the subject of a new BBC special in November. Hopefully we’ll be able to see it in the states soon after.
