Primeval New Zealand on TV last night

[F5 Dave]

Well I have to say I was impressed, both with the presenter & the production. The content was fantastic as well.

Its like a nature program that one could imagine was made by the BBC. . .well, on a lower budget of course, we saw the Frozen Planet just after with Sir David to rub that in.

But it was a good rolicking look at our history, but presented in a "We think this happened, here are the options & this one looks most likely because. . " rather than take a stab at the popular option of the day & preach that one.

As for the slightly disturbing origin of our wildlife I wasn’t too bothered, I mean as a people we either (of our two main ethnic groups) originally came from Europe or Asia so who cares if our birds weren’t unique? They pretty much are now.

Yeh we enjoyed it here too. Fucking big ass eagle to take down the moas!

[mashman]

They were brilliant programs to have back to back. The NZ prog was well done. They have a Moa and a Harris Eagle at Zealandia and you could imagine the battles they'd have. It is indeed a feckin big eagle, certainly wouldn't let the kids out unaccompanied.

[James Deuce]

Haast's Eagle, FFS.

[Motu]

Yeah, I thought it was well done too. I was at Auckland Museum on sunday (doing The Poisoners with my kids) and walked past a huge sculpture of a bird of prey above the sports ground...I thought it was probably representing the Falcon, but the name I saw on the plaque wasn't right....now I know what it was, a gigantic eagle.

[yungatart]

It gets a :2thumbsup from our household too. Informative, interesting, well presented!

[mashman]

Haast's Eagle, FFS.

:rofl: yeah yeah, Haast's eagle... dunno where I got Harris from, was only looking at the thing last week.

[scissorhands]

Loved it! Nature is harsh eh?

Got a dvd here 'sex in the bush', has a marsupial mouse that fucks itself to death, and a flatworm that copulates once then is permanently fused together for the rest of their lives

Plus a sacrificial mother spider that lets her babies eat her. Now thats parenting

[george formby]

Me to! Loved it. More please!

Re the frozen planet, hope I don't get reincarnated as a polar bear. Did ja see the state of the poor bugger? Or a Weddell seal for that matter, Orca hacky sack.

At least the Dorca's waved :eek:

Don't stop...you're on a roll...

[Swoop]

Yes, quite a good programme indeed.

The comment was passed about the inherant laziness of our birdlife, however. Fuckers prefer to walk instead of fly.

[kiwifruit]

Incredible cinematography

Humans aren't so different, keeping a regular lay is tough work for us too! Mind you it's usually the females that chew our ears off instead of other suitors.

[Number One]

Was good eh! Love the idea of the Haasts eagle :)

[Laava]

I loved the terrified look on that poor weddel seal and then finally it's look of resignation as the Orca slowly dragged it under. Did anyone else notice how slow that was? as if David Attenborough was there himself dragging the poor bastard under and then saying "Game over!"

[pete376403]

I'll pass on the eagle, thanks:facepalm:

Shudder that broke my heart. Funny quite a few remember that sequence alone. Still nature is harsh.
