Henry is fascinated by it.
He doesn’t care about the television when we’re watching it. It makes no difference if we’re watching Football, Survivor Island, or Cops. He doesn’t care unless we turn to a Nature program. Then he is engaged.
A year ago we took this video of him watching the bird migration.

This week, we watched a program about radioactive wolves. A team revisited Chernobyl 30 years after the entire area was evacuated. Wildlife abounds now in the abandoned overgrown cities even though there is still a severe radiation hazard for humans. It looks like a futuristic apocalyptic movie set. Hundreds of wolves run wild through the forest that is reclaiming the city streets. When the wolves come onscreen, Henry gets agitated. He talks with them when they howl.
He got more engaged when we watched a program on mountain lions. Talking, growling, and barking.

Every time a big cat came on screen, he just couldn’t help himself.

We couldn’t hear the narrative.

Finally, we had to make him leave the room so we could finish the program.
