The 'Planet Earth 2' trailer's 16 animals, ranked
Are you sick of this divisive election? Take a seat and consider with me for a moment our infinitesimal existence on planet Earth, with the first trailer for Planet Earth 2. The follow-up to David Attenborough's acclaimed documentary series teases more of what you'd expect: stunning visuals, poignant commentary, soothing music — and of course, awesome animals.
How many do they pack into the one-minute trailer? According to my count, there are 16 (if you count the green, glowly fungus-like thing, which I want to).
But if the animal kingdom's taught us anything, it's that mother nature functions on the notion of survival of the fittest, which means competition. So who were the best animals in the Planet Earth 2 trailer? I've ranked all 16, using viable metrics like cuteness, which ones made me LOL or ROFTLMAO and each animal's GIF-worthy actions.
