Honey, that is nowhere near graphic. No blood, no guts, just prey flopping around in the mouth of a predator.
The only thing that made my stomach churn was the lack of camera control.

Well, I guess it's official. I'm completely desensitized to violence / blood / gore.
Personal loss, and stories of true love, on the other hand, makes me bawl like a baby. Even though I know what's going to happen I cry every time I watch UP!, and this video makes my face a waterfall:

Of all StoryCorps' videos, this one will always make me feel like someone's punched me in the gut.

Oh yeah, waterfall face. The secret to loving one another is really no secret at all.

I'll watch some of them thinking "You're okay, you can make it through this time, you don't have to cry, you know what's coming," and then Annie says that line about walking in and out together and it's like someone turned on a tap.
The only one that didn't make me bawl was Miss Divine.

I didn't make it that far before the tap was turned on.

Tapirs are what? Something like an elephant? Anyway, they are endangered.

Their noses may be prehensile, but they're more closely related to horses or rhinoceroses than elephants. They're really only endangered due to human interference - destruction of their habitat and hunting them for their skin. They also have an extremely long gestation period.
I hope that jaguar enjoyed every morsel of his high-end lunch.

He's part of the endangered brotherhood himself, no need to explain.

Wow. It's kind of weird but 400 miles off the coast of Chile is a giant statue of the last King of the Maya with a Jag holding his back. The Egyptians had a Pharoh with a lion. What was with these Felines? Did Extra Terrestrials bring them Facebook?

Felines have been worshiped for centuries for various reasons. The Egyptians domesticated them as they protected their crops from mice and other pests, and were seen as good mothers.
In the Americas, cats were both feared and admired for their power and were part of religious practices that were earth-centered and full of animal symbolism.
Such admiration and worship of cats has been seen in Ancient Egypt (Bast, Maahes, Sekmeht), Ancient Greece, Ancient Nubia, Assyria, India, Scandinavia, the Americas, and even somewhat in Christianity.
It's very much a case of big cat, little cat. The large wild cats were personifications of power and warfare, while domesticated cats were associated with hearth and home.
Some things never change.

My love of my antique furniture, hardwood floors, various valuables, etc makes me slightly trepidatious of feline ownership . . .
Plus as a shift worker I can't give them the love and attention it would ultimately whore from me.

Many years ago, I was a cat person. I raised Siamese cats. When my last cat died of old age, I then switched to dogs, and dogs it has been since then.
I prefer dogs. Nothing wrong with cats, but I did discovery that I was allergic to them and that accounted for my sneezing, wheezing and itchy eyes all those years. I don't seem to have that problem with cats.
Cats are beautiful and independent and make great pets. Just no longer an option for this former cat owner.
Also, they do tend to destroy your stuff with the scratching while ignoring the scratching posts. Cats are quirky like that.
