They are advertising for help for the sweet little pangolin. David is supporting the cause - Flora and Fauna international. They are hunted more than any other animal, and their bodies are sold for mythical medicine, and the meat consumed as a delicacy.

DISGUSTING.

David gets 5ft10.5 for his peak and 5ft8.5 for today.

It was lovely to see Sir David Attenborough paying tribute to the Queen tonight, and not for the first time either.

Peak - 5ft10 and 1.5” less today.

5'10¼ peak and seemed to hold that height into the early-mid 1990's.

Here he is in 2019 looking a bit less than 5'9 / 175cm Prince Charles. 5'8 /173cm today in his mid 90's seems right. Click Here

Happy 96th Birthday Sir David Attenborough!

Only a two inch height loss by 96, now that’s very impressive.

Amazing how people like this are still missing from here! He was much taller than his brother, about 5'10 peak seems right.

Looks like a 5'10 guy when he was younger. Nowadays might be 5'7.5-5'8 range.

Such a great addition, the man has devoted his whole life practically to raising awareness and advocating for wildlife, a passion for me to. He was considerably taller than his brother Sir Richard, they didn’t even look particularly like brothers, I thought he could pass for 5’10”-5’11” as a young man at times.

Looks no shorter than Prince Charles, wonder if Chaz is getting into 174 territory

Oh my - I'm in Heaven seeing that the great Sir David Attenborough has a page like his brother, Richard. I have some amazing DVDs of his, and they're all so interesting and educational. I love his publicity ad/appeal about the most hunted mammal the world over - the little pangolin. I had no idea until I saw the advert and my heart went out to the creatures. 💓😢

Some animals are so treasured whereas others are killed for medicine, furs and other body parts.... - disgusting. The pangolin curls up in fear, but the small, scaly species never gets the chance to escape.

Yes, this 95-year-old man has a wealth of knowledge and a heart of purest gold.

5ft10 - peak; 5ft8 - today. 😀👍🏆

by 90's, losing 2-3 inches would be common. With David, I don't think he looks to have lost as much as 3 inches.
