    • after hundreds of pods, video, docs on wild life on sat tv, your video still is, believe it or not, the very best above all, very above.
      and I may say,you are very professional, very espressive, very passionate and if I can say (I am not gay - not that's anything wrong with that!) quite hansome.
      forgive me for my english. I am italian and we don't study languages at school.
      take care and insist to share your experiences whit us
      greetings and salutations from rome italy

    • WOW! You Really Held It Together..ME,On The other Hand?? Not Only Would I Had 'Ished My Pants, But I Would've Been "GORILLA STOMPED" For, Well, Let's Just Say. If There Was ANY Incling Of Female Tendencies Living In Me, It Would've Raised It's Pretty Little Head Right Then & There Because The Sound That Came From This 100% Male Body Would Have Been UNknown To The Human Species LoLoLoL

    • Hey, Mr Valverde. I distinctly remember taking a real interest in Rwanda, and especially the ongoing, underreported civil war there, during my youth. Of course, it was thanks in no small part to your coverage on Channel One, which we watched on close-circuit television through junior high and high school.

      So this pod about the gorillas just came on TV, just now, and I am just like, "Oh, hey!" It's awesome, too, a very "round-the-campfire" retelling of these events, with all this footage from ten, fifteen years ago to support the narrative. So neat! Thanks for this.
