NOVA special on PBS on 4/3

[monty]

Someone posted on the yahoo ceph list that there's a PBS special on cuttles, particularly camouflage, on April 3 2007:

NOVA | Kings of Camouflage | PBS

Is NOVA shown internationally?

Anyway, looks like a good show...

Looks great! I'll certainly record this.

America only.....

We get that channel in Canada. I'll be taping it!

 

[Animal Mother]

THANK YOU!!!

Hooray! I'm glad my Yahoo! post helped get the word out about the NOVA cuttlefish program! (You can usually order the DVD program for $20 (USD) after the program's first airing.)

Cheers, Amanda

to TONMO, and thanks again for posting that to the yahoo ceph list!

BTW, I noticed that it's on the HD PBS channel as well, at least in Los Angeles!

After I watch it I'll be adding the info to "An incomplete list of recommended viewing for fans of large and amazing cephalopods"

Video Features on Giant Squid etc...

I really enjoyed the special

Thanks for posting! In addition to other things, I did not know that there was a poisonous squid or that the Flamboyant (sp) also has a toxin. I wish it would have been longer though.

I was also glad that they emphasized the short life span but it was still kind of hard to look at the female after it went to the lab

Neal was also suitably impressed and I expect him to start looking for eggs to try again .

Yup, I'm one of several new members pressed on by that show. I've been a long-time fan of Ceph's, but only recently found this site.

I had no idea the striped-pajama squid was toxic, and it's good they tested the flamboyant, with that species being unfortunately collected.

I ordered my copy, and I wish I could replace my VHS "Incredible Suckers" with DVD as well, but I guess I'll have to convert it myself at home.

I'll have to check out that list posted above; I'm sure I've missed other good programs!

does anybody know if you can download the nova program anywhere?... I missed it

It said at the end of it that you could order the DVD online for $20, I think. I don't remember if it was wgbh boston's web site or PBS...

Looks like there's a "buy the video/dvd" link here: NOVA | Kings of Camouflage | PBS

I'm just re-watching my taped copy and it says "to order Call WGBH Boston Video at 1-800-255-9424"
