Happy 100th Birthday David Attenborough; a plea; a question, if you be so kind

[Archimedes Plutonium]

I watched NOVA yesterday about your career in filming wildlife. Unaware of how many dangers your crew had faced, especially in Africa.

I love every wildlife show. 

I have a plea of you before you pass on. Please correct Smilodon science, for it is highly likely that they are walrus tusks that museums glue or screw onto upper cat jaws. At least one of your shows has you in sympathy with this notion. I believe otherwise, since no cat jaw has ever been found with saber teeth attached. And no-one performed DNA testing of saber teeth to see if walrus. Please start the research, real research to finalize the issue. You believe it is all cat, while I believe it is walrus tusk glued to upper cat jaw.

If it is found that the Smilodon saber teeth are truly walrus tusks, it puts your career in wildlife as a stain on your record. So, please, initate a search for the final truth on Smilodon.

Question David, since it is rare that scientists make it to 100 years. I have a hypothesis that if you get 10-12 hours of sleep every night once you reach the age of 65, you have a good chance of making it to 100 years. I get on average 12 hours of sleep every night. And many women make it to 100, because, as I believe, they get 12 hours of sleep.

So, David, how much sleep do you get on average???????

Please, David, put one of your shows "to right". The one with you at a museum on the Saber-Tooth cat.

It is Anti-Darwin Evolution.

To create a cat whose teeth get in the way of everything the cat wants to do in life.

No fossil has ever been found with teeth in tact.

All museum specimens are glued on or screwed on.

Fix this David, please for your reputation is at stake.

Start the process by asking for any Fossil find of Smilodon with intact upper jaw and saber tooth.

If none, start the call for DNA testing of all those screwed on teeth for analysis as to whether they are Walrus tusks.

Yes, you are old David, but not that old that you can do one last great science discovery--- putting the Record Straight on Smilodon.

A smile by the Smilodon tiger.

Please, David, set the record straight on true science of Smilodon for your British Museum show makes you look silly and ridiculous on the saber tooth tiger. Utterly silly and ridiculous-- David Attenborough-- "first used its great weight to pin down its victim.
Then it would have used its sabers like blades to slice open the soft flesh of its victim's throat."

First show that no museum or collectors piece comes with a upper cat jaw and saber tooth in tact. Then test all museum pieces with DNA to see if Walrus tusks.

Tonight on PBS is a repeat of NATURE: Museum Alive With David Attenborough on at 7:00PM and again at 11:00PM. It is a shame for me and others that David cannot understand that no cat ever existed with saber teeth for they get in the way of --- "making a living". David falsely said that the tar pits fetched a entire fossil jaw with teeth intact. The sabers in truth are the tusks of ancient Walruses, which the cats preyed upon.

I dare any paleontologist to show us a cat jaw with tusks in tact.

And if a paleontologist comes up with a jaw with tusks in tact, we expect him to run DNA analysis to see if it is Walrus or cat.


In this program on BBC, I was squirming in pain upon seeing David explain that the cat caught its prey by stabbing it with its saber teeth. So sad, so sad to see David ending his science career with science poppycock nonsense.
