The males are like sleeping.

And they'll turn their back on you, which to me is a sign they're very comfortable.

Because you don't turn your back on something that you're worried about.

You want to keep your eye on it.

And, you know, they'll be laying there and then they'll just roll over and just continue sleeping.

The one thing I will say about tourism is it's incredibly valuable, but it can't be our only solution for conservation because we saw it during the pandemic.

People stopped traveling or if there's an economic downturn or if there's civil unrest.

And so if all the money for conservation is being generated through one mechanism, whatever it is, tourism, in this case, it's not sustainable.

So we need a diversified approach to conservation if we want these kinds of animals to stay on the planet.

I think that that's a really important part of it.

There's a lot of playing in the movie.

And when they play, they pull their lips back and you can see their teeth really well.

So I think it's not just...

the teeth, but it's all the other context that goes along with it.

The same way we can make a scary face when we're showing our teeth and you can just tell, is that person tense?

Like if they have a tense smile versus if they're really relaxed.

The other thing that people talk about too is direct eye contact can be aggressive.

And it can be, but they love to look at you.

They like to come up and look.

I always equate it to like when you're in an elevator.
