Britanski televizijski voditelj i prirodoslovac David Attenborough nedavno je bio u posjeti kraljevskoj porodici. Kate Middleton, princ William i njihovo troje djece, prinčevi George i Louis i princeza Charlotte, ugostili su ga u dvorištu Kensingtonske palače, gdje su on i William pogledali njegov novi dokumentarni film “A Life On Our Planet”.

Veliki obožavatelj voditelja je princ George, a David mu je poklonio zaista poseban suvenir – gigantski zub rijetkog morskog psa megalodona koji je pronašao šezdesetih godina za vrijeme porodičnog odmora na Malti.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share new photographs of their family with @DavidAttenborough. The photographs were taken earlier this week in the gardens of Kensington Palace, after The Duke and Sir David attended an outdoor screening of Sir David’s upcoming feature film 🎞️ ‘David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet’. With a shared passion for protecting the natural world, they continue to support one another in their missions to tackle some of the biggest environmental challenges our planet faces. This includes working together on The @EarthshotPrize 🌍 the most prestigious global environment prize in history – further details of which will be shared in the coming weeks. When they met, Sir David gave Prince George a tooth from a giant shark 🦷 the scientific name of which is carcharocles megalodon (‘big tooth’). Sir David found the tooth on a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s, embedded in the island’s soft yellow limestone which was laid down during the Miocene period some 23 million years ago. Carcharocles is believed to have grown to 15 metres in length, which is about twice the length of the Great White, the largest shark alive today.

Princ je bio oduševljen, no sada su se javili problemi. Naime, Malta želi taj suvenir nazad uz objašnjenje da bi fosil trebao biti izložen na otoku na kojemu je pronađen. Vjeruje se kako je star oko 23 miliona godina.

Tamošnji ministar kulture Jose Herrera smatra da bi zub trebao biti izložen u mjesnom muzeju te je obećao da će se lično angažirati da bude vraćen u svoju zemlju.

Inače, Malta je bila britanska kolonija do 1964. godine.
