A TV Programme i enjoyed as a Child: La ley de la Selva

i always liked the documentaries about the animal life, but in the open TV there was really few programmes about it. In 90' there was a programme called Maravillozoo, but it was cancelled when i was very young. Lately, in 2000 (more or less) in Megavision started one of the most popular tv show in the decade: La ley de la Selva. The programme had four animators: three vets and one model. They talked about animals in different ways. Sometimes they traveled around the world showing the nature, in other episodes they went to the zoo or examinated some random animals in the studio. I liked how they tought about animals in a funny way.

At the end of the decade, the programme was dying gradually. First, they started to talk frecuently about pets. They did not even tought something, they just spoke and spoke about cats and dogs. Second, the programme incorporated ufology in its contents. This destroyed the scientific responsibility of the programme. At the end, La ley de la Selva just showed a group of men competing in archery, force or balance.

However, i will never forget how much they tried to teach us about the danger of the insects, the nature’s respect and its beauty in general.
