It was a Wonderland... there was a potto, a flying squirrel, hyrax, pangolin, water chevrotain, and tons of terrifying snakes. I think, however, that that film was shot "on set" in his back yard as opposed to being shot in the wild. The Okapis next door and the chimpanzee island were also a treat. Anyway lots of fun. Thanks again.caseygibbonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028871983378655271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-54022454906308392552019-01-14T01:14:29.890+00:002019-01-14T01:14:29.890+00:00Wow, what an amazing experience to see two specime...Wow, what an amazing experience to see two specimens of one of the world's most elusive, mysterious creatures, and up close too. What a shame that you weren't able to take photos of them, but still a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

He indeed had an adult obsurnictis in a cage in the back.. and a baby one he kept indoors as sort of a pet. We weren't allowed to take pics of it though. Amazing experience.caseygibbonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028871983378655271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-4683049662627026322017-03-06T01:05:26.860+00:002017-03-06T01:05:26.860+00:00Hi there, This isn't the 1990s Root video, a c...Hi there, This isn't the 1990s Root video, a copy of which I have on VHS videocassette tape, but it is a very good one that I wasn't previously aware of, so thanks very much for bringing it to my attention.

So I fail to see why it should be thought in any way belittling. People, animals, plants, etc, are either native to a given area or non-native to a given area - typical, scientific terms, nothing more.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-51297988367048590802017-02-08T07:39:57.685+00:002017-02-08T07:39:57.685+00:00An informative article yet the term "native&q...An informative article yet the term "native",sounds belittling & has a lingering air of colonialism to it.<br />Would a little known animal in the heart of Europe exist amongst natives?NorthsideRastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741081714136423378noreply@blogger.com
