    An episode of the Netflix "Our Planet" series shows walruses jumping off of a cliff to their deaths. This is portrayed by the producers of "Our Planet" as an act of desperation by the walruses who have been deprived of their natural habitat due to global warming. Others suggest that the walruses more likely jumped off the cliff because they were scared by the drones that were used in the filming. -- Washington Times

    Did David Attenborough’s film crew choose to put walruses at risk in order to get their global warming tale? It seems more than possible.

    Did David Attenborough’s camera crew block walruses safe exit to sea?

    "But it wasn’t long before some fairly large holes began to appear in the story. One commentator pointed out a newspaper report of polar bears driving hundreds of walruses over the cliffs at a Siberian site called Cape Kozhenikova, a tiny peninsula around half a square kilometre in area, near the village of Ryrkaypiy. When it was subsequently shown beyond doubt that this was the location where the Netflix team had obtained their footage, alarm bells started to sound".
