rich_magnetLargest bird? Sort of. According to wikipedia:
Steller's Sea-eagle is the biggest bird in the genus Haliaeetus and is one of the largest raptors overall. Females typically weigh from 6.8 to 9 kilograms (15 to 20 lb; 1.07 to 1.4 st), while males are rather lighter with a weight range from 4.9 to 6 kilograms (11 to 13 lb; 0.77 to 0.94 st).[3] At its average weight, the Steller's outweighs both the average Harpy and the average Philippine Eagles by over 0.5 kilograms (1.1 lb; 0.079 st).[3]
...
The Steller's sea eagle has the second largest median wingspan of any eagle.[3] Both the wing chord and wingspan, at an average of 2.13 m (7.0 ft), are similar or slightly smaller than to those of the Steller's close relative, the White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), which is rather smaller in both weight and total length.[3]
...
The bill is very large. In fact, the skull (at around 14.6 cm (5.7 in)) and the culmen (at around 7 cm (2.8 in)) of the Steller's Sea Eagle are the largest of any eagle and are comparable in size to those of the largest accipitrids, the Old World vultures.[7][8]
zaustAttenborough's voice is probably the most boring thing I've ever heard. What he says is interesting but he is makes it a challenge to listen to a word he says - he's like the rohypnol of the presentting world.
gharkAttenborough is irreplaceable, people tried, and failed. Getting him out of retirement for these new series was a big win as there's simply nobody else that can present in such a natural manner. Maybe it's just because a lot of people grew up watching him, I don't know, but there's certainly a lot of people that don't share your opinion.
