If we measured success by longevity, then dinosaurs must rank as the number one success story in the history of land life.

Jacques Cousteau opened up a world of fantasy for me as a child, with amazing and weird and scary creatures. He will always be not just a presenter, but an active participant in a world he loved and loved to share with others and a hero of mine.

I grew up with Steve Irwin, so I'm gonna have to go with ol'Steve-o.
Buuuut I went with Stephen Fry cause he's a close second.

I didn't know Stephen Fry was a nature presenter.
Well life is full of surprises but I don't watch a lot of TV.
From what I gather it's a little more than a part-time occupation.
I'll have to agree with Cousteau and Attleborough.
Particularly Attleborough because he's the don and I admire his whispering.
I think it's a nice gesture and gives heap of respect to the animals.
It certaintly makes up for the intrusion of the cameras.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Same here.....
I had a model of the Calypso that me and my dad built together. I said I wanted to be a Marine Biologist because of him. Things did not turn out that way, but I will have to agree on this answer!

David Attenborough is the best by far imo. I also liked Steve Irwin, his enthusiasm was like a breath of fresh air, and Jacques Cousteau, he was great at the underwater stuff.

What a glaring omission from the list.
He might be a daredevil and a risk-taker but his enthusiasm is unrivalled.
I call it a tie between him and David Attleborough.

Out of that list, Attenburgh (naturally), Packham and Strachan, because I used to love her on the Real Wild Show... She made me feel funny as a wee lad growing up... 
But come on, nae love for Mr Terry Nutkins? What about that mental, lovable cottonball, Bill Oddie???
Steve Irwin. A lot of folks thought he needlessly pstered the animals.... but if only they knew just how much of the profits of his shows went straight back into active conservation...

Steve always made me think of a big child. He loved animals, and like any kid just wanted to touch them, but you could tell he cared about them.
Absolutely. His enthusiasm almost eclipsed his knowledge. Remarkable man. I did sometimes wish he'd leave the animals alone- but he knew what he was doing, both for his own wellfare and the animal's. It was all these people who thought they could do the same that was a not so welcome consequence of that. But still, he loved the natural world. What he did for conservation sadly will always be underplayed by his public side
