Prince William, Father of Prince George, and Mr. Attenborough attended the outdoor watching session on the grounds of the palace on September 24.

Then, the 94-year-old naturalist spoke to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's three children and gave gifts to Prince George, according to CNN.

The tooth belonged to the extinct shark Carcharocles megalodon. The world-famous naturalist discovered this tooth in limestone rocks on the island of Malta during a family trip in the late 1960s.

The giant shark Megalodon is believed to have an average length of more than 10 meters, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

On the same day, Mr. Attenborough broke the record of gaining 1 million followers on Instagram in the shortest time, the Guinness Book of World Records said.

After creating an Instagram account to raise awareness about the climate, Mr. Attenborough took just over four hours to reach the milestone.

In his first Instagram post, Mr. Attenborough warned everyone in a video that "the world is in trouble". He also listed examples including melting glaciers.

He promised to shoot more messages in the coming weeks to explain the problems facing the world in climate change and come up with solutions.

The 94-year-old naturalist teamed up with the Duke of Cambridge to create the Earthshot Prize. The award was announced by Prince William last December to help deal with the climate crisis.

Idle scenery in the coastal village in Hai Duong

The village road and coastal land in Hai Duong (Huong Tra district) score by its poetic scenery, clear and blue water, and high and low stone field.  The road to the coastal village of Hai Duong in these days is quite deserted. Direction from the highway 49 to Tam Giang bridge is praised by many Thua Thien Hue people "picturesque" with the white cloud bands on a background of blue sky, without any smoke.  Across Tam Giang bridge, turn right into Thai Duong Thuong village, you can catch up with the green grass fields and buffalo herds which are leisurely grazing. Author of the photo set Tran Oi (real name Ngọc Trân) said the tranquil scenery recalled a childhood of many local people who are living far from their homeland.

Go along this road, you will to Tha
