Attenborough and the Giant Egg

Attenborough and the Giant Egg

David Attenborough returns to the island of Madagascar on a very personal quest. In 1960, he visited the island to film the television series Zoo Quest. Whilst he was there, he acquired a giant egg belonging to an extinct bird known as an ‘elephant bird’; the largest that ever lived. Could the elephant bird’s fate provide lessons that may help protect Madagascar’s remaining wildlife?
