We interview father and son Hari and Venkat Sankar about their mammalwatching adventures at home in California and around the world. We talk about how Venkat got the mammalwatching bug when he was 14 after a very close encounter with Wild Dogs; Venkat's love for rats and bats; and how their relationship survived the Puma that Hari saw but Venkat didn't.
Here is the YouTube trailer.
