Of crows, bears and kites

Here is a great video of a bear interrupting play at a golf tournament. Maybe it wanted a beardie. The spectators look mighty calm, don't they?

So seeing this video, I was reminded of Arun Lal's commentary during the last test match. I am fascinated by places, wonder about the impact of the tsunami on galle, put away information about whale watching and turtle farming for future reference. But when he spoke about a slow moving kite and followed it up with usefulness of the crow, it was a bit too much - don't you think?

Yeah, it was a bit too much. Especially when the camera panned on a crow eating what seemed like remains of a rat! Eek, that's not what I'm watching Ten Sports for! Maybe Arun Lal has an alternate career with AnimalWorld. That said, one of the creatures (lizard like only a lot bigger) was cute. Was that the ant eater? :)

@vmm - we are all now agog with curiosity on the ant-eater :)
