This week, we weren’t able to watch “Boys State,” so we watched the jungle episode of “Our Planet.” I had no idea that the jungle was home to so many interesting and unique animals. I enjoyed learning about animals of all shapes and sizes, from gorillas and pitcher plants to eagles and leafcutter ants. I thought the segments about the treeshrew and the black sicklebill were especially cool. It amazes me that the treeshrew can hop from plant to plant with such grace. For some reason, it seems like the treeshrew shouldn’t be able to jump as high or as far it actually can because of its small size, but it does so with ease. Watching the mating dance of the black sicklebill was entertaining. I didn’t know animals could change eye color like that at all. The narration also made everything easier to understand. I’m Filipino, so it was interesting hearing about the Philippines in this film. It saddened me to know that over 90% of the rainforest has vanished. It was interesting learning about the Philippines eagle; normally, when I think of eagles, I think of the United States, not the Philippines. Watching this film motivates me to support conversation and preservation causes to stop deforestation. I believe these amazing creatures should not go extinct because of human activity.
