WEBVTT - Short Stuff: The Amazing Tale of Juliane Koepcke

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, and welcome to the short Stuff. I'm Josh. There's

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Chuck and Jerry sitting in for Dave, which makes this

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the traditional arrangement for short stuff.

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>That's right, A tale of survival of a young German woman.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't know why, but Julianne Kopka started making

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the Rounds like a year ago, and since then everybody's

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>written on her story because it's an amazing story. But

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't figure out what it was that set it off.

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I heard about her on like some Quora thread that

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was suggested to me, and I don't know if that's

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the one that kicked it off or not. But she's

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>made the rounds and.

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 3>She may have just opened up for business.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>No, no, I don't think so, because she released a

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>memoir and but that was back in twenty eleven, so

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what happened. But she suddenly became part

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>of the zeitgeist. And I understand why for two reasons. One,

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Zeitgeist is a German word, and she was a German

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>national by birth. And secondly, the story is just so

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>frankly amazing that everybody should know it.

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, there's a great verner Herzog documentary about it.

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 2>That's a pretty quick watch for such a harrowing story,

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 2>but as all things for in our Herzog, I highly recommended.

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>It's called Wings of Hope or yeah, Wings of Hope.

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:24.199
<v Speaker 3>It's really good.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>So she was a young woman that was raised in

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 2>the jungle. Her dad was a zoologist and her mom

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>was an ornithologist, and she was raised in the jungles

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>of Peru because they were researchers in the Amazon, and

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>she sort of grew up with this, I mean, I

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>think kind of idyllic life of you know, being this

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>nature girl living in the jungle.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>She said.

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>She went to the school of the jungle and it

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>was a really unique upbringing for a young German woman.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean her parents were like hardcore. They were

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>in Germany. They met in Germany. They were like, where's

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a place that's just so biodiverse, it's not really on

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the map. And they went there and they founded a

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>research station called Panguana And that place is still there today.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a large nature preserve now. But her parents founded

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>that and she was raised there starting in her tweens,

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe, and then eventually moved on to private school

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in Lima. But yeah, in between that time, like she

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>learned all of the animals, she learned what sounds they made,

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>she learned how to avoid who She basically just learned

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>how to survive in the jungle, which really set her

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>up nicely for one of the most significant events in

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.519
<v Speaker 1>her young life that came later.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a very sad event. Christmas Eve nineteen

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>seventy one. She was a seventeen year old. She was

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 2>on a flight with her mom and looking to go

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>celebrate Christmas with dad, and this flight turned really scary.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>There's a very bad storm and one of the sort

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>of one of the few times where you can point

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to an actual plane being struck by lightning in the

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>air hasn't happened that much. I think this one's regarded

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>as kind of the worst of all the times that's happened.

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>And with about twenty minutes to go in the flight,

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 2>this plane is hit and all of a sudden plumbing

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>toward the ground with ninety two people on board.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's said is apparently her mom was not a

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>fan of flying, she found it unnatural. And before it

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>got hit by lightning, it had started to hit some

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>horrible turbulence, like luggage was falling down on people from overhead,

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and her mom said, she's like, I hope this goes okay.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So when the plane did start to break up, apparently

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Julianne heard her mom say, now it's all over. So

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty horrible, right, this is not just a regular

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>plane crest. They were at ten thousand feet and the

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>plane broke up so thoroughly that Julianne said that essentially

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>she didn't leave the plane. The plane left me. She

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>was still strapped to the bench seat that she had

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>been sitting next to her mother in, but all of

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a sudden it was just her mother and the other passenger.

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I guess we're just sucked right out of their seats.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And she found herself totally alone, ten thousand feet in

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the air, headed straight down toward earth.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just hurtling toward the ground. She said that, and

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>this is the only thing that saved our life, basically,

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>was this really thick jungle canopy.

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 3>And she said she.

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Remembers literally remembers being in the air, falling toward the

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>ground and seeing that the tree tops looked like heads

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>of broccoli. Next thing you know, she wakes up on

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the ground. She's alive. She got a broken collar bone,

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 2>she's concussed, cut up pretty badly, got kind of you know,

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>beat in the face obviously, so one eye was swollen shut.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>So she's in bad shape, kind of going in and

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>out of consciousness.

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 3>But eventually he wakes up.

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>She had pretty poor eyesight and was missing her glasses,

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 2>which was no good, and she would soon learn that

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>she was the only survivor out of the ninety two

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>passengers and crew.

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I say we take a break and come back,

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>because as bad is falling out of the sky two

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>miles down and surviving alone in the Amazon is it

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>actually just went from bad to worse for her at

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>this point, So you said, Flight five awaits considered the

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>worst lightning strike disaster in aviation history. Ninety one of

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 1>the ninety two people on board died, including her mother.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>At this time, though when she'd landed miraculously survived falling

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>two miles down to earth from midair, she didn't know this,

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>so she started looking immediately for her mother. She spent

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the first day of looking for her mom, looking for

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 1>anybody really, but in particular her mom, and she didn't

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>find anything. I don't know what day it was, I

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 1>think perhaps the fourth day of walking around in the Amazon.

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>I guess we can say she walked by herself in

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon, surviving for eleven days. Day four, she came

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>around the bend and found a really grizzly piece of

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>wreckage that I can't imagine seeing this.

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was two men and a woman who landed

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>headfirst so forcefully that they were buried three feet into

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the ground.

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 3>And this is the part I don't quite get.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>She checked the feet to see if it was her mother,

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>and saw that the toenails were painted, so she knew

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't. But and I'm not nickpicking, she was clearly traumatized.

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.679
<v Speaker 2>But I thought her mom got ripped apart or ripped

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 2>out of the seat next to her on the bench,

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and so she wouldn't be strapped into another bench.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 3>But I guess that's a nippicky.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I know, I had the exact same thought, and

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I chalked it up to trauma too, or just maybe

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>hope or something like that.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, sure, Yeah.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah, I mean three people exactly, But I

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>mean imagine seeing three people still strapped to their bench seat,

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>all headfirst into the ground with their legs sticking up.

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>That's just I just can't imagine that stuff like that

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>actually happens sometimes in the world. And this poor girl

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>saw that on day four of wandering around the Amazon,

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>totally lost. But like we said, she was just about

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>as prepared for this experience as a person can be

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>from her upbringing. And she remembered after a while, like, Okay,

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>what did I learn as a kid about living in

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the jungle. And one of the things that came to

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>her was her father telling her, if you're ever lost

0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>in the jungle, find water and just follow it one

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>way or the other, because eventually you're going to find

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>humans living around that water.

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Totally And that's a smart rule of thumb period, if

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.239
<v Speaker 2>you're ever you know, lost in the woods or something,

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and at the very least you have some water. And

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>she lived on that water because she didn't have much food.

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>She had a little bit of candy. It was a

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>wet season there, so there wasn't like low hanging fruit

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 2>literally that she could get a hold of. It was

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>obviously because it was wet season. It was super hot, superhumid,

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.839
<v Speaker 2>but she did get some water from that river, which

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>kept her alive.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 3>And like you.

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Said, for eleven days, she tried that creek, then stream,

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>then it became bigger into a river. Eventually she was

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>basically at the point where she had given up hope

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and she was, you know, kind of succumbing to the

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 2>idea that she might die. And she saw a boat

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 2>on the river bank and thought it was a mirage,

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 2>but she went over and touched it to make sure

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 2>it was real. Followed a path from that boat to

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 2>a shack, where she found some forest workers who immediately

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 2>were like, you know great. They gave her some fruit

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and started taking care of her and taking care of

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 2>her wounds right away.

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think when she came in the shack, their

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 1>famous quote was what the what? Yeah, this was gross.

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember which article. I think it might have

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>been for the New York Times. Article by a guy

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>named Franz Litz, and he said that they poured gasoline

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>on her wounds that had maggots sprouting from it like

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>asparagus tips. I mean, she was in bad shape. Chuck,

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>just put yourself in this girl's mind for a second.

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't need glasses, do you just like some reading glasses?

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Maybe? Yeah, reading glasses?

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>So you've never needed glasses.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Except to read.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>One of the worst things that can happen to you

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.599
<v Speaker 1>if you wear glasses and are significantly nearsighted, in particular,

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>is to lose those classes. This girl wandered around the

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Amazon for eleven days nearsighted without her glasses, and that

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>was one of the east of her concerns at that time.

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I just when I think about that, it just sends

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>a chill down my spine because it's so awful to

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>not be able to see like that.

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:11.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I imagine.

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>So she, you know, she survived, she got flown to safety,

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>she got reunited with her father. The real obviously huge

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 2>tragedy here for her personally and her for her father

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>was they lost their mother and wife. And so you know,

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 2>she comes back home, you know, obviously elated to be saved,

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 2>but instantly mourning her mom's loss.

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 3>She avoided the media.

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I think she maybe didn't you know,

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>was open for business more recently, because she very famously

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>avoided the media, except for Bernard Hertzog, who was supposed

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to be on that flight because he was scouting stuff

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 2>for a either movie or documentary. I couldn't tell which

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>and he reached out. You know, he's very moved by

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the story. Obviously because his close connection and reached out

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 2>to her, and again because of his Eastern European heritage,

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 2>they might have bonded or at least she trusted him,

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 2>and that's when he made wings of hope.

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Man, it's just nuts. So yeah, in that documentary, apparently

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.319
<v Speaker 1>he got her to go back to the wreckage site

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's still yeah, man, plenty of wreckage just sitting

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.719
<v Speaker 1>there in the jungle from that plane crash. Because it

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 1>crushed in such a remote area, there's just no way

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.319
<v Speaker 1>they were ever going to remove it.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was tough stuff. She also talked to some

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>of the people who saved her. It's really amazing.

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got to see that.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Then it's not long. You can watch it on YouTube.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Cool.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>There was something else that I thought was really great

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>about her. She apparently made one of those deals with

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.959
<v Speaker 1>God or the universe or whatever and said, like, if

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I make it through this, I promised to dedicate myself

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>to nature and humanity, And after she was saved, she

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>made good on it. She's she's been She's used a

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of her spotlight to help drum up. I guess

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>contributions and donations to preserve the Amazon, particular to preserve Peguana.

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.839
<v Speaker 1>That the preserve appropriately enough. It started out I think,

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>around four hundred and forty five acres, and it's grown

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to four thousand plus because of her, just through private fundraising.

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if God was like, oh, I thought you

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 2>were going to say, like in service of me, but

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 2>that's cool, like that that's good too, or.

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>But first God said, how are you alive? So yeah.

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>One of the other sweet things I think about this

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 1>is she returned to Peguana. She got her own doctorate

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 1>in biology. She focused on bats and worked with her dad,

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and then her dad died in two thousands, so she

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>took over the Panguana Biosphere Preserve in research station, and

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>as far as I know, still runs the show there

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and she considers it her sanctuary, just like it was

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>for her parents.

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Amazing.

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if she has shirts that says not that biosphere.

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Amazing Tales Survival. I'll tell you that much, buddy.

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.559
<v Speaker 3>And does that mean short stuff? Is it?

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I would say so?

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Sure.
