Sooooooooothing.......

I was hungover with some type of food poisoning on a Sunday afternoon. I popped this in a friend's VCR and we both agreed it's rather helpful in trying to get over a previous night's drinking. Animals running around, being filmed all over the world. It's nice to watch. I did have to get sick in the bathroom one or two times but it made the visuals all the better. What's great is the filmmakers setting up "encounters" where all these weird staged fight scenes between animals take place. Guess the American Humane Association wasn't monitoring this set. I feel better, so thanks for asking.

Talk about a set-up.

I don't think I've seen another wildlife documentary so sappy and deceptive. I can't believe they used 2 large male domestic ferrets and pretended they were native to the American west. Obviously the cougar kittens and the black bears they were playing with were planted too. One of the cougar kittens had a head tilt, indicating an inner ear problem, and one of the black bears had his tongue sticking out, indicating he was missing teeth in that part of his mouth.

Toward the end they said baby emperor penguins spend the first few weeks perched on their mothers' feet. Uh, their fathers take the eggs from the moms and they're the ones who care for the babies at first. It's amazing they got anything right.
