Sir David Attenborough turns 99
Thursday, May 8, 2025
The world’s most famous naturalist turns 99. I love and respect him for the way he talks about nature and how he makes people fall in love with it. Just look: It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
