Has anyone been watching this series on Discovery?

Pretty amazing scene, and some interesting facts, like the Inuit harvesting muscles twice a year during a 30 min window when they can go out under the ice.

Yeah, I saw that video when it was first posted. I was just having a bit of fun at undercoverbrother's expense.

Admittedly, it took me a while to realize what he was talking about when I first read the post. Spelling actually does matter. My first thought was of a giant Venus Flytrap-like plant in the tundra, from which the Inuit would retrieve bits of digested meat the plant had eaten (there's a video out there of a Venus flytrap that ate a mouse, and all that was left was bits of soggy fur - even the bones/teeth were gone).

that's fair, I will own that, the original post is a fail.

still it's a very cool program.

Yeah I have seen a few of them and I really like it. Some great footage and, like you say, interesting facts.
