Netflix faces backlash over walrus death-plunge scene in David Attenborough’s 'Our Planet' doc series | Channel24
WARNING: This article contains content not suitable for sensitive viewers
In the gut-wrenching scene filmed in the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia just south of the Arctic Circle, walruses fall off a cliff and plunge to their death because the Netflix documentary says they are unable to cope with climate change that has caused ice to melt and their natural habitat to shrink, driving the animals in large numbers to land where they can't properly fend for themselves.
"What we think is going on is that the ones at the top can probably hear the ones in the water, and they can sense that there is water below. They teeter on the edge, and they just can't work out how to get down there."
