• Panda takes a deeper look at the theme of animal cooperation, explaining fascinating real-life examples of animals teaming up, including different symbiotic relationships like mutualism (where both benefit) and parasitism (where one benefits at the other's expense).

Tune in for laughs, thoughtful film critique, and some unexpected lessons from the animal kingdom!
