Zoo Quest

During the 1950s, David Attenborough and a team from London Zoo worked to conserve rare and exotic animals by traveling to West Africa and Guiana. It provided the blueprint for animal and natural history documentaries to come. Now, thanks to a remarkable discovery in the BBC's film vaults, the best of this breakthrough series can now be seen in color.

Described as 'the most important natural history program of its time', Zoo Quest launched a genre and changed how audiences saw the world. Visiting remote overseas locations and filming wild animals in their natural habitats were both firsts for TV. This fascinating Zoo Quest episode features a Komodo dragon filmed in the wild for the first time ever.
