Watch video from the PBS Nature film, River of No Return.

Nature’s mysteries are unveiled the more we look. The ability for care, compassion, even love is not limited to us hairless primates. Perhaps it is not as Hobbesian a world as we thought?
Very moving. Animals can an do feel compassion and loyalty toward each other – maybe even more than we do!
Why is there such a surprised notion surrounding nonhumans showing affections, etc. What ever we think makes us exclusively human is actually around long before humans evolved. And this is most like a mother and injured daughter elk.
