<p>First let me point out that actually I usually hate nature shows:).</p>
<p>That said, I am obsessed with Planet Earth, showing in the US on the Discovery Channel. Most of you have seen it already, I’m just getting to it.</p>
<p>The show has taught me a couple of things.</p>
<li>You are safer in a group. Hunter or hunted, stay with your group. </li>
<li>Strong and determined will eventually beat cool and fast.</li>
<li>In areas of scarce resources, like the desert, animals can be really ugly. Think camels, hyenas.</li>
<li>In areas of lush resources, animals focus on getting beautiful. Well, at least beautiful for the opposite gender of their species.</li>
<li>Water is an amazing thing.</li>
<li>Sand is a terrifying thing.</li>
<li>Mountains are really high.</li>
<li>Elephants swim in the water like people, turning upside down, the babies pestering the mommies for rides.</li>
<li>You do not want to be a seal if a Great White is nearby.</li>
<li>The Himalayas cause the monsoon.</li>
<li>High definition is a glorious invention:).</li>
<li>Living things are so determined to live they will do it in the most impossible places.</li>
</ol>
<p>I like this show even more than Flavor of Love Charm School, although I have learned valuable lessons there as well.</p>
