SEVEN Worlds, One Planet viewers were left in tears last night during what they have described as the most traumatising episode yet.
In heartbreaking scenes an orangutan fought with a digger and hundreds of walruses fell off a cliff and died as they tried to escape a polar bear.
Those watching at home first started crying as they watched the walruses scramble over each other to avoid being attacked.
The distressing clip showed hundreds of them desperately trying to escape – only to fall from the edge and die.
Things got even worse when it switched to a forest in Borneo and a lone orangutan was seen running along the last remaining tree trunk while being chased by two men and a digger.
His fight didn’t last long though as the digger won and bulldozed through – forcing the ape to fall.
The men – who were actually trying to get it to a safe space in footage filmed last year – reached the exhausted orangutan who appeared to be unconscious.
Seven worlds one planet got me crying. So important that the reality of deforestation is being shown. Poor animals. Poor planet.

The walruses I’m crying
—
MYSTIC PIDGE
Taking to Twitter to discuss what they had witnessed, one person wrote: “Didnt expect to be crying over walruses tonight but here we are #SevenWorldsOnePlanet #Rip .”
A second added: “Also crying at the orangutan pushing away the digger .my heart #SevenWorldsOnePlanet.”
While a third tweeted: “Literally crying through #DavidAttenborough’s #SevenWorldsOnePlanet at the Orangutan lashing out at the digger…what have we done and why didn’t we listen decades ago? My heart hurts .”
And a fourth heartbroken fan remarked: “It’s Sunday and I’m crying, recoiling in horror & screaming at the TV hoping that the walrus won’t throw himself to his death. #DavidAttenborough #bbc1 #SevenWorldsOnePlanet.”
The Sun previously revealed that the scenes of the walruses on David Attenborough’s BBC show had in fact already aired on Our Planet, which was on Netlfix in April of this year.
