A Perfect Planet started on BBC One last night (Sunday January 3) with the Sir David Attenborough nature series attracting praise.
Stunning images, amazing animals… it had everything.
However, while viewers were mesmerised so were their pets at home.
Soon, social media was full of cute photos of pets watching along with their owners.
What was A Perfect Planet all about?
The five-episode series shows how the forces of nature drive, shape and support the Earth’s great diversity of life.
Episode one looked at volcanoes and what wildlife lives around them.
Bears, different types of birds and otters were just some of the animals featured.

However, it wasn’t just humans who were bowled over by the programme.
