No, I didn't see the Jack Hannah appearance on Larry King Live, but I'm not surprised at this report of his latest screw-up. My husband and I are active wildlife lecturers and have been absolutely stunned at the misinformation we've seen him put forth on many other television shows. He's misidentified birds and snakes on several appearances we've seen and it's unfortunate that the hosts don't know enough to even question him. For any general viewer, this "expert's" word is taken as the truth and that's the sad thing about having a "showman" passed off as an authority on any topic. Perhaps one day people will realize that it takes more than safari hat and a nice smile to qualify someone to educate the public about the natural history or pet suitability of any creature. --Victoria Rouch [Posted in FML issue 2538]
