I have never seen a fish move objects out of the way to find something specific it wants, let alone BANG SHELLS AGAINST SOMETHING TO OPEN THEM! This tuskfish footage is INCREDIBLE! #PlanetEarthChat

#PlanetEarthChat Hey @adamthomasford they're talking about designing human structures so wildlife can still use the habitat!

#PlanetEarthChat I've been to Archie Carr refuge, and got to see baby sea turtles hatch. This video of turtles dying in storm drains is heartbreaking.

Some people in Florida "helped" Gopher tortoises by throwing them into the ocean. Tortoises do not swim. #PlanetEarthChat www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/bl...

#PlanetEarthChat Thus far, "cities" has much less of an explicit conservation message than I'd like, but it's more than Planet Earth 1, and the footage is incredible. Some crazy animal behaviors I've never heard of before!

#PlanetEarthChat That's the first reference I can remember in Planet Earth to invasive species extirpating native species.

#PlanetEarthChat I don't find this "birds use human junk to make colorful displays" behavior cute. I find it horrifying.

#PlanetEarthChat Ah....presumably this episode is also going to focus on the many, many, many ways that urbanization and habitat destruction are *BAD* for animals? As fascinating as these examples of animals thriving in cities are?

#PlanetEarthChat Really interesting to note that food subsidies from human cities can result in major changes to wild animal birth rates and behavior.

#PlanetEarthChat The original Planet Earth was criticized by conservationists for focusing on "wow look at this cool stuff" without a focus on conservation. This episode is all about human impacts!
