A third tweeted: "‘Anal jet propulsion’ Cor, one phrase I wasn’t expecting to hear on @BBCSpringwatch #Winterwatch!"
Meanwhile an equally surprised viewer wrote: "Beavers, ringed woodcock and anal jet propulsion. As likes to say, THIS is what you pay your licence fee for."
It isn't the first risque comment Chris has made during this week's live shows.
Chris made a surprising sex gag about dogging during a segment about how foxes snare their prey with co-host Megan McCullen.

In Tuesday's episode the presenters stood in the New Forest woodland and explained they were going to wear paper animal masks to demonstrate how a fox hunts a mouse.
Chris whipped out the masks and explained to viewers: "I've got a couple of masks here because one of us is going to have to be a fox and one of us is going to have to be a mouse.

"I'm feeling quite foxy. I've got to tell you."
Hearing mischief in his voice, Megan replied: "You're feeling foxy? Just because you said that I'm going to be the fox. Come on," and she grabbed the red mask from his hand.
"But they're so precious to me! I was given them in a car park a little while ago. I'm going to be a mouse, then. I'm just not going to squeak," Chris remarked.
Winterwatch is available on BBC iPlayer.
