Re: "The wonder of Sir David Attenborough"

If I remember correctly, his parents were named in honour of /Zaglossus 
attenboroughi/, and that's how he obtained his surname.  Given their other 
astonishing range of tricks and perceptions, it doesn't surprise me that the 
foresight of the monotremes has obviously been vindicated.  At last, a 
placental mammal arrived that was worth some recognition.
