He was a naturalist, writer, and did it as an experiment. I found it interesting on how close he was able to get to all the different animals when he had the turkeys along in tow. It was also interesting at how the animals interacted with each other. The snakes, the turkeys playing with the fawn plus how the turkeys knew exactly what to do and how to choose what to eat right out of the egg. Thoroughly enjoyable hour.
