David Attenborough is extremely delighted after catching on camera the rare golden snub nosed monkeys that he’s been trying to film for more than fifty years on Seven Worlds, One Planet.

During the shoot for Asia, his team surprised him with the golden snub-nosed monkeys, which he has been looking for ages.

Attenborough said: “It is a wonderful creature. I’ve never seen a film of it before.

“I always had it in the back of my mind and this lot (his crew) got it. The footage shows the monkeys have snubbed noses to stop them getting frostbitten.”

“Each of these ­continents has a different ­geological issue.

“They have different ways on how life has ­arrived there and how they survive in isolation.

“Every one of our shows has one or two sequences that take my breath away and have never been seen before.

“I would like the audience to appreciate how beautiful these things are. But also how they integrate with others and how we are dependent on them.

“Each continent has its own systems. Our influence is everywhere and we’ve made a tragic, desperate mess of it so far.

“But at last nations are coming together and recognizing we all live on the same planet.

“All these seven worlds are one and we are dependent on it for every bit of food we eat and every breath we take.”

“In some circumstances when the animal is in isolation, like a penguin, if it gets into trouble maybe you can help it and that’s OK.

“But when you have a cheetah stalking a baby antelope, if you interfere with it you are likely to cause more trouble than not.

“If you frighten the cheetah away, you frighten the antelope. The cheetah will be without its food and it will go and find another one.

“So you end up causing more problems if you don’t let nature takes its course. Those baby cheetahs have to feed so you have got to be careful that you know what you’re doing.”
