ANIMALS IN THERAPY

#ANIMALSINTHERAPY

Please, come on in. Take a seat, yep, just there is fantastic. Now, how often do you think 'If they don't turn that light off I'm going to be eaten by a falcon' or 'That drilling sound will literally drive me to my death'? You're not the only one – Animals in Therapy is back. This time we're beyond bugbears, past pet peeves, and we're heading to injustice-ville. Strap in for some serious home truths. Humans, we got work to do.

There's a superstar whale who's had enough of our deep-sea antics, a seriously desperate tree frog on the croak of extinction, and a bunch of night-dwellers straddling the edge of existence with one very clear, very simple request.

You might not have heard of cochineals, but you’re more familiar than you think. They’re global superstars. It’s a rich journey that starts here: at cochineal career day. But there’s a dark secret behind this bug fame.

A waaaaavey release here. Tail Impala sends us some signals about the unnatural noise 
disrupting their habitat. But where's the inspiration? Male Humpback whales sing to find love and friendship, but sonar, boat engines, and non-identifiable sounds are getting in the way.

Artificial light is wreaking havoc in nature

Why exactly are there some very confused and slightly frustrated species out there? HINT: humans don't come off that well.

Animals and humans, having a natter

This year we're spicing things up. We've introduced interviews for the first time in Animals in Therapy history. Our favourite species have been grilling some famous names on whether humans feel emotions like they do. Think we might show or cope with them slightly differently...

FEATURING HUMANS

Murray Bartlett & otters discuss joy

Sea otters are a happy bunch, aren't they? These funtime frolickers know how to let their fur down, but they're not sure we can do the same. If anyone’s going to change their minds, it might be Murray Bartlett!

FEATURING HUMANS

Patricia Allison tackles the tricky subject of pain... with fish

These slippery sea-dwellers want to give Patricia Allison some schooling on their relationship with pain. Can she educate them about our feelings, too, or will she take the bait?

FEATURING HUMANS

Amybeth McNulty & California condors celebrate faces only a mother could love

Big, googly eyes, chubby cheeks, and button noses – our babies are cute, right? Unless you're a condor. They can't seem to wrap their beaks around our love of human little ones! AmyBeth Mcnulty is on the case.

FEATURING HUMANS

Jaz Sinclair gets deep with the turtles

Sometimes, a wave of the sads can put us in our shell… but these turtles aren't buying it. Jaz Sinclair has some unorthodox ways to show them humans can be doom and gloom, too.

Animals in Therapy Anthems

One thing you never knew about animals: they can sing! And they're using this ancient superpower to challenge all of y'all's thoughts and perceptions about their private lives.

I'm not your pet

A few 'pets' have taken over the studio with synthesisers, autotune, and an ick they need to get off their chests... listen up!
