I agree with Swany - he sounds nothing like Jeremy Clarkson. However, it did make me wonder if that was the first time you'd seen/heard David Attenborough. If so, you have a lot to look forward to - get ahold of his back catalogue of documentaries and start watching them, pronto!

I'd guess that within a 30 mile radius of my home there are 7 very distinct regional accents that all sound completely different :-)
Wayne having lived in the UK you know we all sound alike ;-)

Doc, Sorry for the interruption.

not actually sound of voice or accent, but the manner in which he speaks is fairly similar, very measured with emphasis on certain key words in the sentence structure. A parody can be heard here where he emphasizing all the nuances of the way he speaks.

Ah, now I get you. Yes, they both hesitate before saying (and emphasising) a key word.

Unfortunately, I haven't taken many lately as I've been so busy with work.

Here are a couple from October, though:



... and two from a recent feeding. The male appeared to be hanging on with only one hind foot, but I think he was cheating and using his tail. I can't recall if I have posted this here before, but I thought this was pretty impressive for a such a big lizard. He was clearly hungry.


After feeding was over, he just spun around and climbed up to bask.
