This one is hilarious. I got a strange message through youtube about one of my videos: Cobra vs. Ground Squirrel. (You can watch it below.)

The email was from a researcher with a Japanese television show. They wanted to use Cobra vs Ground Squirrel on their show “as an example of a very unique animal behaviour.” Here’s a fun excerpt from the message.

I was requested by a producer from TV Asahi (Japan’s most heavily watched TV channel ) to contact you and ask about the possibility of our introducing your fine video of the “Cobra vs.Ground Squirrel- Surprise Winner!”
