For those of you who are not watching David Attenborough's latest gift to television, you need to put Netflix down for an hour and check it out.

The programme, which is a sequel to the highly successful Planet Earth series that first aired in 2006, is back with a bang, lining up a number of uniquely fascinating creatures for us to get to know from the comfort of our couches.

Last night's episode kicked off with a baby ibex navigating a treacherous ledge.

Moving swiftly on to an Golden Eagle wearing a GoPro. Sure why not!

Golden Eagles have the ability to spot prey 2 miles away, and dive at speeds up to 200mph. Incredible. #PlanetEarth2 pic.twitter.com/lhRyiyzgrJ

Of course the real cuteness was kept to the end and this week we were in for a real treat as we got to see some newborn grizzly bear cubs playing in the snow!

Finally the Planet Earth crew captured some spectacular footage of bears having a scratch in the woods and it was just magical.
