David Attenborough Presents: Tasmania

Editor's Take

Tasmania's relative isolation, which has produced an unusually strange cast of wildlife, is the focus of this Attenborough-narrated film. It travels the island's varied terrain, from forest to coast, to meet creatures shaped by evolution in a place set apart. The tone balances appreciation of beauty with genuine interest in oddity, treating strangeness as part of the appeal. It is an engaging regional portrait for viewers drawn to the more unusual branches of natural history.

This film, narrated by David Attenborough, explores the weird and wonderful wildlife of Tasmania. It travels across the island's varied landscapes to meet the unusual creatures that have evolved in its relative isolation, from forests to coasts. The documentary highlights both the beauty and the strangeness of Tasmanian natural history. It is an engaging look at one of the most distinctive corners of the natural world.
