He is always so excited to observe and talk about the various animals. One of my favorite videos is of him trying to talk about a bird of paradise while it keeps interrupting his lines. Instead of getting frustrated or impatient, he has wonderful reactions of surprise, joy etc. he is a treasure.

My favorite of his series both book and TV documentary. It explained how life evolved one step at a time in the clearest of terms.
Wow 90 and still like a kid in the forest.
