KOTA KINABALU: Renowned British naturalist Sir David Attenborough is once again turning his attention on Sabah’s wildlife.
The documentary maker is spending about a month with a crew of 44 in Sabah’s Lost World, the Danum Valley and Gomantong Caves in the east coast to film flying creatures in three dimensional format.
The segments would be part of a documentary called Conquest of the Skies slated for release in the United Kingdom in December followed by other countries later.
“We are making a story about how insects and animals with bones have evolved to fly. There are more examples of the interesting flying creatures in Borneo than anywhere else in the world,” Attenborough said here on Wednesday.
“There are all sorts of flying reptiles such as frogs and snakes and then there is the flying lemur. This land is rich in wonders,” he said.
Attenborough said shooting a documentary in 3D format was most suitable as it would show clearly the movements of the animals.
This would be his second foray to the Gomantong caves that is home to thousands of bats.
