Re: Nature shock

Im loving this series (although largely not about the UK). Oddly the only one i have missed so far is the one talked of in this thread (cannibal bears).

The ones i have caught are:

The Dolphin Murders....turns out it was infanticide...bottle nose dolphins killing baby bottle nose and killing scottish harbour porpoises as target practice

Zombie Crocodiles.....full grown crocs going belly up and losing ability to move etc....cause was a chain reaction....people polluting the lake, poisonous alien algal bloom (blue green algae)killing most species of fish....one species thrived on this polluted habitat and the population exploded....meaning the crocs were eating solely this species....however the fish carried a bacteria that detroyed something called thiamin? i think?...which is basically vitamin b....so the crocs were dying of a vitamin b deficiency!....fascinating stuff.

Then last nights was

Dolphin rescue:.....humans sustaining shark attacks were saved by groups of dolphins circling them long enough to drive away the sharks!

Not sure if the :Man who lived with Wolves or the Man who lived with Bears were 2 programs in this series but they were also on recently and very interesting !
