LEST WE FORGET BAMBI'S MUM!

There’s this incredible new show on the BBC on Sunday night’s called Planet Earth. It’s packed with incredible footage of deer migrations over the frozen arctic tundra, elephant herds roaming the african Serengeti and even little bunny rabbits doing bunny things. I love watching them as they remind me of the constant struggle between life and death that takes place in the world we live in.

Despite how many times I’ve watched nature documentaries and witnessed the horrible inevitable conclusion of when a big animal with sharp fangs and claws chases after a smaller animal with big brown eyes and soft fur I just cant help rooting for the little fella. The fluffy bunny, the Bambi like fawn and the Dumbo lookalike. This usually leads to the following conversation. “I bet you a fiver he gets away” as the lion stealthily approaches the herd of antelope. My mate snorts “You’re on!” and before I know it I’m handing over a fiver as the lion rips an antelope into a thousand bloody pieces.

I’ve got to stop gambling while watching nature shows or at least bet on the lion.
