- Comment on ex-kakapo 1 day ago:
To quote Douglas Adams:
[The kakapo] is an extremely fat bird. A good-sized adult will weigh about six or seven pounds, and its wings are just about good for waggling a bit if it thinks it’s about to trip over something — but flying is out of the question. Sadly, however, it seems that not only has the kakapo forgotten how to fly, but it has forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Apparently a seriously worried kakapo will sometimes run up a tree and jump out of it, whereupon it flies like a brick and lands in a graceless heap on the ground.

There are grey and red squirrels. The grey ones are invasive in Europe and are causing all kinds of problems for the native red squirrels

Yup
I kept forgetting that the stuff actually happened. Because the humor just feels like straight out of h2g2

And on this note I can highly recommend the book “Last chance to see” that this TV show was based on. There also an audio book version read by Adams
Douglas Adams and Cawardine go around the world in the 80s to try to find almost extinct animals
When they created the tv show the plan was to revisit them, but a couple of animals went extinct in the meantime
Kakapo population is the only one that was somewhat positive, iirc

I don’t know if Morgan was an alcoholic or not
he was. and he kept it a secret during the documentary. There’s even a moment in it where the doc basically said “I only see values like this in alcoholics” This alone basically completey invalidates anything in the documentary. regardless of any health problems fastfood might cause.
In 2017, Spurlock – who previously told his doctors he did not drink – admitted to copious amounts of alcohol consumption during the making of the film. Documentary filmmaker Phelim McAleer questioned whether this may better account for Spurlock’s liver issues and other health problems, since it is uncertain whether he changed his alcohol intake during the experiment.
