He outlasted his brother by quite a while. Managed to travel more miles than nearly anyone else apart from popes and political leaders.

Well, one brother lived til 90, which is still above average, and iirc he only died because of complications of a fall and would have lived longer without that bad luck. And one other brother who lived to 84 and was taken out by a rare neurological disease.
So it's probably just that he has genetics for longevity in his family. And they were all wealthy which helps
And apart from his film crews who actually shot the footage...
He travelled with them on numerous occasions. In some of his earlier programmes, you can see him on location in the most farflung corners of the world. I am sure he has been to the Galápagos and Antarctica, on multiple occasions. In more recent times, Attenborough has just tended to do the voiceovers.
Crew ain't a single entity.
Desperate not to let anyone else have a go at his job.
Remember when planet earth first came out? And they had sigourney weaver dub it for the American version? It was basically unwatchable.
Maybe they won't: AI versions of his voice pop up everywhere now (especially older Attenborough) including on YouTube videos about Irish Republicanism of all things.
