Summer = brain rot.  Brain rot = TV.  I don’t know where I was trying to go there, but I feel really rusty with this now O________o.  Time to get back into it, I suppose!

Last Chance to See is a wonderful BBC documentary series.  The show follows Mark Carwadine (a wildlife photographer and zoologist) and Stephen Fry (Hugh Laurie’s old comedic partner :O ) as they search for animals on the brink of extinction.  Of course, all the while they are exploring the wildlife of their surrounding regions.  The project was actually started by Carwadine and the late Douglas Adams in 1990 – however, it was in a book format at the time.  I think Carwadine was interested in seeing how the dynamics had changed over the past 20 years, so he decided to embark on this long journey again.  Stephen Fry had a friendship with Adams, and therefore opted to take Adam’s place as Carwadein’s partner.

Some of the moments in this show are just beautiful.

Animals covered so far include the:

The Amazonian Manatee

The Northern White Rhinoceros - now declared Extinct in the Wild

The Aye-Aye - in case you are wondering, it's a lemur, lol

Carwadine PRETTY much has my dream job.. like actually.  I often say that I don’t know what to do with my life, but if i had a choice now – this would be it.

Watch this show!  It is wonderful.  Aside from searching for these fascinating creatures, they also encounter a variety of  wildlife along the way.  Not to mention the fact that some of the places they go to are truly just breath taking.
