Broadcasting legend Sir David Attenborough found himself being held up at Auckland International Airport today.
But there was nothing sinister going on – the legendary environmentalist posed with MPI staff and sniffer dogs for a photo.
Posted to Twitter, the photo shows two customs staff with dogs posing with Attenborough.
It was captioned: “And now, out of it's natural habitat, we see the lesser-spotted Sir David Attenborough in NZ! 😍 😍 😍”
