I’m obsessed with the groundbreaking Discovery Channel series “Planet Earth.” What makes this nature show particularly fresh is the innovating and inventive cameras they utilized to capture really amazing videos of the wild.

Go penguin, go! Run goddammit!!

The Arctic Fox is so freakin’ cute, I want to toss it into a deep fryer. But how does the fox find the eggs it hides in the ground later?
Damn the music! It sometimes make me tear up a little. JUST a little.
