David Attenborough Defends Bear Clip Filmed In Zoo Video

David Attenborough Defends Bear Clip Filmed In Zoo Sir David Attenborough has defended the use of archive footage in documentaries, following a row over scenes from his recent Frozen Planet series. The veteran broadcaster told Sky News "making natural history film is an art". Some viewers were outraged when it emerged that a scene in Frozen Planet, showing a bear giving birth, was filmed in a zoo. The programme makers were accused of misleading audiences into believing the scene had been captured in the wild, but later said it would have been impossible to have filmed the footage in the wild. Sir David, who is promoting his latest Sky 3D film, The Bachelor King 3D, said the decision to film in the zoo was made for the safety of the animal and the crew.
