We try not to show the bludgeoning and the cruelty of the animals.
We try to avoid that with Tiger King and Jim Crazy in the show because people turn the channel.
So we try – if we wanted to, we could do that.
Why do you think people vilify reptiles?
You like mammals.
You said, why do you think people aren't so keen on reptiles?
But you don't think – because we like to talk about the warm, cuddly, charismatic animals like a panda bear or a koala bear or a – Well, that I think is anthropomorphism that's done by Disney movies.
Of course it is.
But I would argue that a bear, a Kodiak bear, a polar bear, a lion is a lot more concerning than most reptiles.
So why we vilify reptiles and have that...
Feeling about them is, I think, maybe more as to what you said about the anthropomorphism.
A snake has no legs like us.
They don't breastfeed their babies like a bear or like a mammal.
They have a forked tongue.
They have no ears.
A snake is weird.
They're nothing like us.
So maybe we feel so removed from them and they're scary, even though they're really not that scary.
He's like an animal behaviorist and sort of more in the groove of like –
you know, animal welfare and animal behavior.
