Earth’s King Sir David Frederick Attenborough evolves into his tortoise final form as he reaches 100 turns of the planet (the world’s oldest tortoise was an unsubstantied 250 years old<\/a>).<\/p>\n
FYI: Sir David Attenborough English broadcaster, natural historian, conservationist, writer, producer and narrator. With a career spanning eight decades we have been gifted the opportunity to learn about our planet and all its inhabitants in more specials than I can name. Attenborough’s presenting career began as host of Zoo Quest in 1954 (72yr ago [I checked with the calculator]).<\/p>\n
