Happy Thursday, BERGers!
Special thanks to all who came to the "Cane Toads: An Unnatural History"
Documentary Day yesterday! We had a great turnout, and an engaging discussion on the
ethical issues surrounding the cane toad.
For all who did not attend, do not fret, the documentary can be found on Youtube, Here:

During said discussion portion, Sophia Daoudi and Hannah Buchanan-Smith highly recommended
this documentary on 'BBC 2: Natural World', titled "The Octopus in My
House." The short description reads:
"A professor invites an octopus into his home to learn about its amazing
intelligence.The octopus, called Heidi, unravels puzzles, recognises individual humans and
even watches TV with the family. The episode also shows remarkable behaviour from around
the world - from the day octopus, which can change colour and texture in a split second,
to the coconut octopus, which carries around its own coconut shell to hide in. But most
fascinating of all is seeing how Professor David Scheel and his daughter Laurel bond with
an animal that has nine brains, three hearts and blue blood running through its
veins."
Sophia says you will be amazed!
