I am out of the US at the moment, so I may not be able to access the show until I return.<br /><br />The title "Life at the Waterhole" reminds me of a waterhole I once saw on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The water was green, and all around the waterhole were skeletons, presumably of animals who tried to quench their thirst and then died. That waterhole must have contained some powerful poison.Victoria Grossackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808023266088914173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-14331416000404825282021-07-05T16:10:23.245-04:002021-07-05T16:10:23.245-04:00CLARIFICATION: My previous comment about avoiding ...CLARIFICATION: My previous comment about avoiding the previews has to do with "Life at the Waterhole", not "Night on Earth"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78697568100032120412021-07-05T14:59:01.889-04:002021-07-05T14:59:01.889-04:00Great review Victoria, thanks. Another excellent s...Great review Victoria, thanks. Another excellent show to check out is "Life at the Waterhole" - a three part series on PBS that first aired in late May and early June 2021. It's the best presentation of the SCIENCE of animal behavior observation in the wild that I've ever seen on TV (but it's far from dry, the photography is stunning). The on-camera host is more than a pleasant voice, he actually has legit credentials for this type of show: a PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.<br /><br />One suggestion: The first minute or so of each episode contains a preview of what you're going to see in that episode. Try to avoid viewing/listening to those previews, they do spoil some of the actual surprises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
