The Mad Catter: Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough

As it is David Attenborough's 88th birthday today, I felt it was only fair for me to share some brilliant facts and favourite video clips of the man who has made everyone love nature.

Sir David actually studied Geology not Zoology or Biology as many would have thought.
Rats are one of the animals he actually doesn't like
The Bird of Paradise is his favourite species (well, one of them I expect)
Sir David does eat meat, he says that humans have evolved to be omnivores, not vegetarians
In 2005 he was awarded the Order of Merit (OM) by Her Majesty the Queen
His brother Richard is an actor and played a role similar to David in Jurassic Park
The BBC boss thought Sir Davids teeth were too big and so was originally discouraged him, how wrong the boss was.

The 10 species Sir David Attenborough would take on his own personal Ark:

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. Priam’s birding butterfly

9. Northern Quoll

10. Venus’s flower basket
