Sir David Attenborough’s latest is more horror show than nature documentary
I had expected it to leave me feeling warm and fuzzy. Instead I was nauseous, and massively relieved that I was not born a seal – a sentence I never thought I would write. Only, what’s that? Hang on – a scrap of hope. Look! Another calf has managed to escape the grizzly bear. But where is its mother? Cue the camera zooming out, and you discover she is miles away. Leaving the calf stumbling in the snow to try and find her, only to collapse, left to die exhausted, freezing and alone. Dear God, life is bleak.
like the human one, can be brutal, senseless and random is a key part of growing up, and one of the most difficult lessons. I remember resisting it, feeling furious with the cameraman, and even saintly Sir David, for allowing the poor animal to die when they could have intervened.
