I normally don't care when I miss television documentaries, but I'm going to have to find some way to see this when it airs in three weeks;

Well, didn't know about this, but quite interesting nevertheless.
First ever footage of the Hispaniolan solenodon has emerged from a conversation group working in the Dominican Republic. The Hispaniolan solenodon was thought to be extinct due to habitat loss, but this video proves otherwise.
Last weekend, the sprogs and I were delighted to attend a late Australia Day/early Darwin Day party. Our hosts apologized for "not having much interesting kid-stuff" on hand.
Bakker was my favorite paleo talking head when I was a kid. He looks much older now but still has that captivating and entertaining way of speaking and presenting information.
Fantastic! absolutely fantastic.
I've been lucky enough to be there for some of the filming - and the documentary is going to be amazing. When I saw this preview, I literally jumped out of my seat. The best part is when Bakker and all the paleo guys start reacting to the scans like they're watching the Super Bowl - "yeah, baby!!"
Michael Jorgenson (the filmmaker) is incredibly talented, the subject is fascinating, and the scientists are really cool to watch. I can't wait to see it! (And, for anyone who's interested, we're posting a whole series of videos about Leonardo and Dr. Bakker at the HMNS blog and on youtube)
