We're supposed to be the more intelligent of the two species.

Yeah . So I am told but evidently there are exceptions to the rule.

Sometimes I think television lulls some people into thinking it is safe to be in the same vicinity as top predators. After all the host(pick any nature show) gets close enough (and the zoom camera lens) gives the unreal sense o intimacy and safety when viewed in the security of our living rooms.

Add in the "Disneyifcation" as all animals are cuddly fuzzy creatures and just like humans It's no wonder people have lost their natural self preservation instinct of danger.

Just my humble opinion. Take it for what's it worth, ;-)

I agree whole-heartedly. The Disneyfication (and anthropomorphication) of wild animals is dangerous. “Cute & cuddly” they ain’t! ;o)
