Was completely gripped by this. Timely reminder of our ability to tolerate and co-operate with different attitudes and ways of being in testing times. The frantic neuroticism of the lemur, the cool distance of the secretary bird, the playfulness of the labrador, the nonchalance of the capybara. They find ways of accommodating, without necessarily understanding, each other when it’s needed most.
Also a great take down of speciesism, particularly when the secretary bird rejects the biases of its kind to stand up for a member of another species and recognise them as a peer. The secretary bird ascending got me right in the feelies. Vital stuff.
