I would like to offer this resource for therians, an extensive list of all of Sir David Attenborough’s nature documentaries that are available on soap2day, and a full list of what species* they each (notably, prominently) feature the natural behaviors of, separated by episode, and omitting species that were only shown dead, juvenile or being predated on. This took me a while (I have been working on it since Prehistoric Planet’s release) because I did in fact have to watch every single series in full in order to list all the species and the episodes are around 50 minutes long, but enjoy.

Long post ahead:

Most of these shows have closed captioning, which is why I’ve picked soap2day. Planet Earth is the only one that doesn’t. I did not include Dynasties and Dynasties II because each episode only features one species.

Thank you to Birch (@ambiguousmutt​) for his help (he watched about half of the episodes) so I didn’t have to do it individually. Credit goes to him as well.

*Sometimes Attenborough doesn’t say the specific species and I was too busy trying to get through the episodes to identify it. In those cases I just put the most specific name I could.

There are no squirrels in Australia!! Source: I’m Australian and went to Texas as a child and lost my mind that the weird movie rats were real! When travelling with other Australian kids squirrels held priority over everything else. We’d abandon conversations and attractions midway through to look at those weird little friends.

man that’s insane. that’s so wild. imagine not having bushy tailed rats but having giant sleep paralysis demon rats instead. you should bring a squirrel to australia and have it fight a kangaroo or smthing

Tiny Creatures (Netflix) review – not your average nature show

I came in at episode 4, Texas, and the tiny adventures of a kangaroo rat made me put this on my favorites-

*(also, one of my cerebral palsy friends has a gait that mimics a kangaroo rat and it's adorable so it always reminds me. I want to walk like a kangaroo rat hopping around, instead of a drunk duck going "hey guys hold my beer I'm going up the stairs!" - my life is an organic comedy routine sometimes. One friend thinks that between my gallows humor cerebral palsy jokes and my flat autistic delivery I could do a bit, but another friend isn't sure I'd convince audiences to laugh. Although we CP'ers tend to be natural comedians whether we want to or not: "No, I'm not drunk, I just have cerebral palsy." Besides, at least in my case alcohol loosens the spasticity a little. But that's also why we like the Baclofen treatment haha.)

would anyone be interested in buying these 12"x15" posters I had made back in 2014?

Throughout the long term, the overseers at the Southern Plains
