Educational Videos for Animals?

Some of you know of my interest in Susan McCarthy's, Becoming a Tiger: How Baby Animals Larn to Live in the Wild (that link is to a great blog entry about one of her book signings in San Diego). McCarthy worries that humans will never be able to teach captive-raised animals natural behaviors. Well, according to the BBC, San Diego native Hua Mei got pregnant and gave birth to twins after watching panda sex on-screen. I wonder if animals can actually learn things this way?

Do you provide a way to view sample clips of your videos?

They're not my videos... I don't know if they provide clips of them or not. I doubt they're much different from what you'd see on Animal Planet anyway.
