Why everyone is talking about a walrus scene on Netflix
Our Planet clocks in at eight episodes, but it's a single scene from the newly released Netflix documentary series narrated by David Attenborough that's making waves.
It's found in Episode two, "Frozen Worlds," and it involves hundreds of walruses falling to their deaths.
The series was made over the course of four years by the same team that gave us the BBC's Planet Earth series, and Quartzy highlights a distinction between the two: the Netflix series much more actively incorporates climate change and its impact on our planet's animals.
