well yeah well anyway i think basically what we say listen please don't feed them because they have a very specific diet and by feeding them something that's not on their diet can get them pretty sick um so that's what i say and i do say it in my uh both languages even though my spanish is a little bit to be left to be desired um having said that that loop only happens when people move in front of it it's set up by a motion sensor so it's just uh it's not playing continuously around the clock that the chimps have to listen to it god forbid
I don't do it. It's been put on the shelf. The only way I will ever do it is if Dan Levitard asks me to do it for something for him.

And it does on occasion happen. I will say it does on occasion, but rarely happens. It's just a wonderful adaptation, Dan. It's a matter of survival. It's a matter of growing up in an environment that you adapt to. These animals, if you looked at their hooves, their hooves are almost like pointed. So they are able to actually grasp the tiniest little ledge and they are able to survive that way.

I mean, this is how they escape predators, things like leopards and other carnivores. But I will say that I have seen an occasion where they lost footing and they died.

I don't know that's possible. I do know that it does happen. But the fact that nature is a circle of life and the ones that don't succeed, they become food for something else. But again, these animals have adapted to an environment that enables them to do things that are absolutely incredible.

Well, I'll tell you what, Dan, I looked at, you know, when I looked at that video, it reminded me of another one, which is probably the most jaw-dropping video I've ever seen. I'm sure you guys can find it. Find a snow leopard actually going after one of those animals and getting it and both of them plummeting down well over 150 feet against the rocks and surviving. Watch that video.

Watch that video.
It is one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen of an animal defying everything to survive. Except it, of course, didn't because it ended up being killed by the leopard. But look at the leopard never letting go and plummeting down on these rocks hundreds of feet down a sheer cliff. Unbelievable.

Now, this isn't the real good one. There's one that it's like death for sure of this snow leopard grabbing a sham. But no, that's a crappy one. There's a much better one. But look at the golden eagle.

It was bad for the snow leopard. But here's the deal. Look at the golden eagle.
