David Attenborough will celebrate his 98th birthday in 6 days (May 8th). I find it incredible that he still delights us with such great documentaries and I wish him all the best and that he stays with us for a long time to come. Best wishes from Germany to all who read this! 🙂

God is Good! PS self preservation is strong in actual and human squirrels.. direct quote from inside the tree 'sooo, you expect me to shimmy thru this small hole from which I'll get slivers.. then fly across to that tree over there which is most likely gonna knock the wind outta my sail..

Well, there is a script. Everything in documentaries (the "spectacular" ones, like BBC's) is edited to create stories that did not actually happen, with scenes taken from different situations or days, and then cut and pasted. They also add sounds.

I have a group of these little guys at my cottage i have been feeding them for years and they even let you pet them! Soooo soft and fluffy highly recommend befriending ❤
🎂🎈Happy Birthday Mr Attenborough! 🎉🎁Thank you for many years of sharing the world's nature with us. I started watching your shows as a baby, with my dad. My love for nature comes from you both! Much Love, Ash. ❤
So beautiful. So cute. I smiled through the entire clip.

It's so beautiful as to hold the breath. A squirrel was just about to landing on treetrunk. Take a close look at her hair/fur on the back! An exquisite aerial maneuvering the camera captured. This is BBC.
I love the (as-always-brilliant BBC Earth filming) moment at 1:00 minute in, where you can really clearly see that floofy tail waggling back and forth--just like the pendulum on one of those cat clocks. Tick! Tock! Tree! THWOCK

Isn't nature amazing! Whenever you think you're good at art or imagination or anything intellectually challenging, just watch a few videos on how surprising nature is, to be instantly humbled. From the stars, to the deep sea aliens, to such beauties as flying squirrels, nature has such a dazzling variety of beautiful creations. Breathtaking.

It's true. But what is more surprising is that you are attributing these beauties to inanimate nature when you can attribute them to a supernaturally powerful being.

Assuming we humans allow them to survive, maybe they'll eventually develop powered flight. Bats and maybe even birds probably developed flight by first gliding.
Thank you BBC from Canada.
They are Way too gorgeous
THEY ARE SO CUUUUUUUUUTE 😍😍😍😍😍😍!!
This video made my day ❤️
Used to see and watch such squirrels in St. Louis some 57 yrs ago. Haven't seen any sense we moved away from there. Used to also see stick insects or stick bugs back there. They were pretty cool.
Furry paraglider! ❤❤
Oh my goodness!!!!!! Bless these sweet souls forever!!!!!
I WILL TRY TOMORROW 🤣🤣
It's so freaking adorable!!!
This will not stop being pleasant. Come back when you need a break. 😁
This baby is so cute & amazing to see him fly

That's some bold eye liners out there
Soooo cuteee
Absolutely magical! ✨ Watching this baby flying squirrel take its first flight is like witnessing a tiny miracle unfold before our eyes.

Baby squirrel 1 : Woohoo ! Look at me, I'm flyiiiing ! Baby squirrel 2 : Nope.
The voice of the narrator, the cute stories demonstrated through the video, the sound effects and music. Omg, it's looking adorable 🥰
1:25 As an airplane nerd, that flare to slow down to land followed by clear wing stall is an amazing capture! Look at the fur near the leading edge on mama's shoulders - it is smooth in laminar flow, but as she flares, her angle of attack increases until the air delaminates, and goes chaotic as her wing stalls - just as her air speed and rate of climb reach zero, poink! She sticks the landing.
They don’t fly, they glide.
Wow amazing footage. Those squirrels are so adorable. I can't!!!
I laughed through the entire clip-they’re just so dang adorable!
