Description:
David Attenborough journeys back to Madagascar on a deeply personal mission. In 1960, during filming for his early wildlife series *Zoo Quest*, he found a giant egg – the egg of the extinct elephant bird, the largest bird to ever live. This has remained a treasured possession for him ever since. Now, fifty years later, Attenborough returns to explore the island further and understand how it has changed. Could the elephant bird's story offer insights for protecting Madagascar’s current wildlife? The film combines archival footage from *Zoo Quest* with new footage as Attenborough revisits familiar locations and meets conservationists. Back at Oxford University, scientists reveal the egg’s age, potentially shedding new light on the legendary bird.
