merjet Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Spy In The Wild is a PBS miniseries airing this month. We watched Episode 1 two nights ago and enjoyed it a lot. Most of the Spy Creatures described on the web page above the brief episode descriptions are in Episode 1. They and the animal reactions to them are funny, too. Well worth watching. After each broadcast, that episode will be available for limited online streaming at pbs.org/nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the video of the Orangitan cutting a branch with a saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/spy-wild-nature-mini-series-orangutan-learns-saw-wood/14982/ Guessing, it was a preview of Episode 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merjet Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 We saw Episode 2 last night. Live stream (temporary). We learned something new. We see squirrels chasing one another a lot, but why so often? They are thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding them as "thieves" is projecting human judgement onto a non-human action. If we call squirrels "thieves" are we implying that what they are doing is "wrong". The live stream presentation is almost a Simon pure example anthropomorphization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the term because the show used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
