Sir David Frederick Attenborough, OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FLS, FZS, FSA, is the best. That sounds like an opinion, but it's pretty much objective fact at this point. The British broadcaster and naturalist has been narrating the wonders of the natural world for over 50 years now, traveling to almost every country on Earth to do so.
His crowning achievement is a massive documentary series known simply as the Life collection. Thirteen separate series filmed over the course of 20 years take on the entirety of life on Earth (and maybe in the universe, who knows), and do a pretty damn good job of it too. It's the gold standard for nature documentaries — for a breakdown of all 79 episodes, check out Ed Yong's labor of love here.
