Nature's Most Wanted: Cat burglars and robber duckies
About this episode
This episode explores the criminal behaviors of various animals and the motivations behind their actions.
Leonardo da Pinchy is a literal cat burglar with more than 350 pieces of evidence against him — evidence that's easy to confirm because when he steals his neighbour's underwear, he brings it home with a satisfied look of great pride. Steven Seagull is banned from the local corner store after a six-year beef-flavoured-chip-thieving spree. Then there are the monkeys holding phones hostage for fruit juice. These aren't the only creatures with a criminal record — far from it So when animals steal, what is driving their behaviour? Featuring: Dr Neeltje Boogert, associate professor in animal behaviour at the University of Exeter Helen North and Leonardo da Pinchy Julia Henning, PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide Professor Sindhu Radhakrishna, National Institute of Advanced studies in Bengaluru, India With extra sounds from bird enthusiasts: Romuald Mikusek, XC912877.
