Firstly I would like to say that it was a truly magnificent episode, seeing the bond between human and animal was just so moving. I know this is wrong but part of me actually wished that Carolina and Sancho could have spent a lifetime together because just seeing them happy was just so beautiful. The second thing I wanted to ask was if anyone knew if Sancho ever survived and was ever found, and if so did Carolina ever see him again? I really do hope that he is still alive, I know it was aired in 2008 and it is now 2017 but Otters can live up to the age of 16 so he could still be alive. If anyone knows anything could they let me know asap! <br />Thank you so much and all your comments are so kind and caring it is a privilege to read! <br />Thank you! ��Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618724162645980465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838960770272105688.post-8074033887861428792017-06-25T12:05:55.702-07:002017-06-25T12:05:55.702-07:00Hi all

I came online hoping to find an update and saw your piece above which makes such sense, I found it very comforting - spot-on with your theories of his behaviour. <br /><br />Programmes like that, and follow-ups such as yours give me hope that enough people do still care about nature enough to counterbalance the awful way some of mankind mistreats our precious planet.aliberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575146386130536025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838960770272105688.post-92005514298371084492017-06-25T09:31:32.244-07:002017-06-25T09:31:32.244-07:00A year later and I have watch sancho wondering if ...A year later and I have watch sancho wondering if he is out there.

He was always going to lead a different life from the rest,as do we. Giant otters have a life style ritual (stay with the family, learn, learn to socialize, learn to catch) all with their family. having done that in without his kind, he was always going to think differently and start life in a different way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610316143785379381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838960770272105688.post-91450534320234099232014-03-01T02:16:16.391-08:002014-03-01T02:16:16.391-08:00Carolina and Sancho's relationship was capture...Carolina and Sancho's relationship was captured wonderfully on film in a sensitive non-intrusive manner.

I have now completed my studies and I graduate next month (September 17th 2012) . I am now desperately trying to find an opportunity to become a research volunteer, to study giant otters in the wild and help to conserve them and I am hoping by writing this message someone might see it and put me in touch with someone that can help me follow my dream. My email address is emmyjaywako@hotmail.co.uk and I hope to become part of a research team and contribute to help save this truly amazing, beautiful and intriguing species and do whatever we can to safe guard its future. I would love to hear from anyone who may have some contacts or email addresses of the people I need to speak to. Perhaps even Carolina herself might be able to point me in the right direction.

Restoring my faith and love of conservation and animals, and in captive breeding programmes, in how much we can actually help and make a difference in animals lives whilst maintaining it the way nature created it, and how much we can learn one to one with nature. 2 days ago i have been awarded a 2:1 in BSC with honours degree in Conservation Biology and I have a Zoological Conservation Foundation Degree. I have learnt so much over my time at uni but questioned why i was there because you shouldn'nt need to have a degree in order to find something as special as Carolina did. I have now finished with studying and i am ready to get out into the world and i hope and prey one day i will be as lucky as Carolina with a similar opportunity with any species of animal and do as great of a job as she did with Sancho. Learn so much and gain so much which can help a species and hopefully help to secure their future, have an amazing opportunity to learn about the young life stages which we cannot learn about through observation, which could be vital for conservation projects, and at an individual level and achieve my life ambitions and true happiness. I now need to go out into the world and grasp any opportunities that are offered to me. And thought perhaps if i put my email address on here emmyjaywako@hotmail.co.uk that if someone may have some sort of project or conservation goal or needs an volunteer or extra pair of hands and could offer me an opportunity to start my life as a conservationist, i would be extremely grateful for an email. have watched this documentary about 5 times in the past 5 years to keep me motivated to finish my degree, and cried almost all the way through it each time with happyness and sadness and felt restored or my inspirationemmyjaywakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424064501976229648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838960770272105688.post-28034956148325778232012-07-08T18:16:02.405-07:002012-07-08T18:16:02.405-07:00Sancho and Carolina have inspired me to continue m...Sancho and Carolina have inspired me to continue my degree and keep my eye the goal and the bigger picture.

And I think he was able to do that because Carolina loved him enough to treat him as an otter. <BR/><BR/>In the posts linked above, I argue that people who view their animals as their children are bringing animals too far into their human world, and failing to venture enough into the animal world. Carolina's and Sancho's relationship is the opposite. Carolina did not bring Sancho too far into her world; rather, she ventured into the otter world as Sancho's surrogate mother.<BR/><BR/>This is strikingly evident in her refusal to keep him in captivity. She paid a high price emotionally for that decision, but it was a decision that honored Sancho, and saw him clearly for what he was: an otter.<BR/>What a proper comment!<BR/>Everytime I read your blog I receive an overdose of entusiasm to keep doing my job; Thank you all for your words, you have no idea how it touches me and gives me power to go on! <BR/>Kind regards, Carolina. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838960770272105688.post-37830527128272707332008-02-27T10:40:00.000-08:002008-02-27T10:40:00.000-08:00Badders, good luck.
