Sir Attenborough turns 100 in less than one month. He was born 8th of May of 1926...
The size of her eggs compared to her! They seem huge. Thank you for showing us.
I love when the newborn skinks hatch around my property they’re so cuteeeee
"Lizards are not known for being caring parents." Baby komodo dragon: "YOU THINK???"
The contrast between the robin’s helpless chicks and the skinks’ independent babies is mind-blowing!
I love these little things! They're in my yards. From Louisville, Kentucky
All babies are cute!
Skinks' are amazing!!! I love reptiles'.
It's interesting just how "ready to go" lizards hatch compared to most of the rest of the animal kingdom.
HOW did she manage to lay such big eggs?
Question: How does a lizard that size lay that many eggs that are SO BIG?
Too cute
Amazing.
I would pay good money to listen to Attenbourgh read the back of a shampoo bottle.😂

Sir David's birthday is May 8, and he'll be 100 ! Early happy b'day, sir. This video is a surprise to me because I had no idea any lizards incubated their eggs.
The precious little blue tails, they are mesmerising
This makes me so happy! I take care of the skinks and anoles and tree frogs and everyone else in our yard. The skinks recognize me and they have their warm sandy and undisturbed spots around the property.🦎🌱🌻
Amazing! ❤😍 There's always an exception to every rule!^^
Then they become food for the robin. That’s their circle of life. 😂
