Cute Little Killers:
The Predators With Pouches
1 x 60’, 2019, 4K
It was a case of mistaken identity. Explorers confused them for ravenous cats, rats and weasels. But they were something completely unknown...a curious band of marsupials with a taste for blood, bone and meat. Scores of different predators with pouches live all across Australia. The lives of many are at risk. Introducing the numbat, the northern quoll, the dibbler – strange names, strange animals – and the strangers who want to keep them safe.

The Deosai plateau in Pakistan is the home of the endangered Himalayan brown bear. The Deosai national park was created to protect the species’ survival, and this film throws the doors wide open. We look at the ways the bears’ welfare is protected, but we also consider the impoverished communities that live nearby and rely on the park’s resources themselves. How will man and the bear reconcile their needs so that both can thrive?

Puggles, schnoodles, labradoodles and cockapoos are all part of a growing international trend: Designer Dogs. Known as hybrids, they are purebred to purebred crosses. The American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes close to 400 of the new crosses, everything from rat-chas to bossi-poos to dorkies. Ultra hip but not cheap, puggles can cost up to $3,000 per pup.
