The website bbc.co.uk/wildlifefinder is the BBC’s natural history short form video and audio archive.

It enables wildlife fans to browse through three decades of BBC natural history content and enjoy the natural world, its habitats, its animals and their behaviours when and where they want.

Users can also search by their favourite animals, to find out more about them and the changing world they live in – from great white sharks and birds of paradise to Arctic foxes and the fascinating behaviour of creatures to be found here in the UK.

Plus, it offers up-to-date information about their conservation status, where they live and a range of links to organisations across the wider web to explore the subject even further. Over time more species, clips and related information will be added.

Introducing the site David, who has filmed many of the most famous natural history moments in TV history, shares his favourite 50 clips.

They include the deadly interaction between chimps and colobus monkeys in Trials Of Life; the courtship display of the male superb bird of paradise in Planet Earth and the spitting cobra in Life In Cold Blood.

David Attenborough says: “I have selected some of my favourite clips. For me they represent not only a walk down memory lane but also a snapshot of the incredible diversity of life on Earth.”

“It has always been my hope that, through filmmaking, I can bring the wonder of the natural world into people’s sitting rooms.

“The web has totally changed how we can link information, connect people and reach new audiences in an on-demand world.

“Wildlife programmes have always proved hugely popular and the appetite for discovery has led the BBC to bring these two worlds together.”
