PLANET Earth 3 fans broke down crying just minutes into the show as great white sharks trapped and attacked an adorable group of baby seals.<\/p>\n

BBC viewers were exhilarated to see the heart-racing comeback of the wildlife docuseries, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, after a six-year hiatus.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Planet Earth show fans were left teary-eyed minutes after watching the action-packed first episode of season 3.<\/p>\n

The BBC nature series was last on screens back in 2016, and its highly anticipated revival has not disappointed viewers.<\/p>\n

During the first episode, the 97-year-old took viewers around the globe to witness wildlife within coastal regions, including the Cape fur seals on South Africa's Robberg Peninsula, who faced a tough battle for survival.<\/p>\n

The pups shuffled off the rocks to the waters below to get food while avoiding the great white sharks, who circled their territory in large numbers.<\/p>\n

Planet Earth III is expected to be released in 2022 – with David Attenborough<\/h3>\n

During the episode, Sir David explained: "These usually solitary hunters are gathering in unprecedented numbers, a dozen at a time.<\/p>\n

"The seals are nimble, but great whites are patient and have explosive acceleration. Cornered, the seals keep close to the jagged cliffs, they are trapped."<\/p>\n

Viewers quickly took to X(Twitter) and expressed their opinions on the baby seals as one pup unfortunately didn't get a lucky escape.<\/p>\n

One user simply wrote: "5 minutes in, and I'm already crying."<\/p>\n

Another added: "Attenborough doesn't f*** about, does he? Nine minutes in, and a great white shark is already breaking a nation's collective heart."\u00a0<\/p>\n

A third commented: "Less than 10 mins into #PlanetEarthIII and we've got Great Whites and seal pups… doesn't bode well\u2026"<\/p>\n

A fourth penned: "Me: This world is horrifying and scary right now, I'm going to calm myself down with #PlanetEarthIII. David Attenborough: Buckle up, b******s, let's see who's fighting for survival this time. First, a baby seal…in MORTAL DANGER."<\/p>\n

As the episode continued, an unexpected turn of events occurred when the seals banded together to push the great white out of their land.<\/p>\n

In an interview with DiscoverWildlife,\u00a0 the natural historian spoke about the seals, saying: "It's rather heartening, really.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"The seals are the poor guys in the face of this finned death against sharks at high speed, and you think they're the boss.<\/p>\n

"But the 30 seals are starting to get fed up with this, and in some extraordinary way, they form a team, and they chase the shark out of their territory. And it's very heartening and very engaging to see, but it's also new knowledge."<\/p>\n

In the new series of Planet Earth, fans can expect to see 'the most astonishing wild places' and 'mysterious creatures' whilst witnessing the 'rare' and 'spectacular wonders', which reveal breath-taking animal moments through a new lens.<\/p>\n

Planet Earth continues next Sunday on BBC One from 6:15pm.<\/em><\/p>\n
