That's sad. I think animals are amazing and it's important to take a break from the negativity to refresh and regroup.

episode. Fav snack: scorpions! I was so in love with them, when matriarch Flower was killed defending her babies from a cobra, I couldn't believe it. Totally done in.I actually didn't understand why Flower's death didn't headline every news show. The death of Flower was an international disaster! Come think of it, she SHOULD have had an obituary all day!!!
