these ravens are under special protection. if something were to happen to them, an entire kingdom could fall. more on that legend coming up in the show. everyone and welcome to a furry and feathery, a special edition of your max with me, your host. megan lee. here's a look at what else we've got in store for you today. they may look cute, but watch out our reporter hendrick veiling visits, germany biggest predators and these busy bees in the netherlands are not just making honey. they're creating the works of art. but 1st, during hard times we often turn to our friends and family. and even our animals to get us through, after all, dog is man's best friend. right. well for the german actress and right are lot to

look called her best friend in tough times is a stubborn donkey. i'm not joking. when she experienced a family tragedy, she hit the road with her 4 legged companion while we caught up with her and her donkey to see if he really does live up to his reputation. these 4 hoofs and 2 feet belong to traveling companions and 2 very close friends. hello. hi, i'm laura look called us and this is my, i think the little donkey johnny or nash don back south of munich. the actress is out for a walk with johnny, a loyal companion, ready for anything. the do out is an experienced team by way bound by love of perform that i'm one special about johnny is that he helps me

naval my stress behind and he had best with other you could ever wish your best travelling companion. i'm the best number. i mean, just look at those it even when she was a little girl, lot to luke calling had the strong desire to take to the trails with a donkey. but it wasn't until life dealt her a bitter blow that she made her dream reality. i'm struck this man papa conquer. why not suddenly fell very ill up at the and 2015. he was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer and i didn't have much time left together, which my food side in the but on the hub. i can't for him until don't ride from anger. come up with august robin spent a good deal of time together. i've never gone before it when minded all the time long had this dream of buying it honestly and going hiking with him finish again, and that's when it hit me. is this a call? i have no idea what tomorrow will bring with me. okay, now or never on was more pos yet yet the older me

ah. 2 2 2 latina found her donkey in a classified ad. it was love at 1st sight. after months of preparation in the summer of 20, teen lotta and johnny hit the road. they hide from munich over the alps to italy's adriatic coast a truck of around 600 kilometers. that took 80 days money. my mares sometimes i could have gone with asked if it hadn't been for johnny ruby brought some by for example, i was afraid of cranky bridges with rapids below. oh, of course he's worry dental to lapse. it can happen. okay. it might take him about 20 minutes to muster the courage to finally crow. so that really slows you down. so if you've gotten a stress of needing to get somewhere else and while i'm or wouldn't recommended, don't have a company. but if johnny has taught her anything,

it's to take life easy. the 29 year old has also written a book about her experiences of hiking with a donkey. the 2 are inseparable, and they've even got their own set of wheels that really are still not done eating . the converted mini bus has living space, not just for humans. it's also suited to move small aquiner, allowing johnny the donkey to safely come along for the ride. me about i'd risked his boat. it was important to me if he wasn't in a trailer hanging off the back where i couldn't be in direct contact with him at him though. now he's right behind me, but when i drive, there's only the match between us. so i can talk to him and see how he's doing in that y'all, and he's been going along with it pretty well. a lot, but of cobra. in fact, johnny turned into such a good traveler that in december 2020, they set off on another adventure and took the many bus to portugal out of consideration for johnny looked, i didn't drive more than an hour

a day. they spent 3 months on the road, but he will read. so the way you want to go next, johnny is cloud. i'm back from such a big trip together to look at coal mine. i think this year we'll just go down to the i was in hiking and so we can look up a few nice places about an hour away from here. and then i'll spend a few days hiking my part of online. good luck to luca and her donkey are looking forward to many more adventures together. we now turn to london where the fate of the royal family, according to legend, lies in the hands or rather the wings of a few birds. now it said that the ravens which reside at the famous tower of london possesses special power. they've been there for generations, but if they ever fly away, then the kingdom and the tower will be doomed. and while the royals may have their

share of critics and even bad luck, most people do support them. so we went to the british capital to find out more about this local myth relating to these very important birds. ah, the face of the british monarchy depends on these ravens. ah, they are considered the true guardians of the town of london and the entire nation . and this man is responsible for looking after her majesty's ravens. ah, my name is chris gave. i am the raven master, he at the tire of london. who is a legend, the ravens lead the tire of london. it will crumble the dust and the great harm will befall our kingdom. so it is my responsibility to make sure that they stay here. his 1st task in the early morning hours is to check on the ravens.

kind of playing what i got for you today was optimized for. yeah. i get tickle your face. christopher escape has been in charge of the ravens at the tower of london since 2011 the raven master, and shows the well being at the birds. there are 8 of them at the moment. papa! papa! 2 year old. she lived with me in my home for about 45 weeks before she can enter the enclosure. he's absolutely beautiful, really intelligent. raven's blevins our course very intelligent indeed and can't stretch our wings. air lawn then with the ravens can fly around freely. scaife knows each individual bird very well they are very peculiar. they all have their own different characteristics, some of them of a boisterous, some of them of a shy. some of them are very,

very inquisitive. so i kind of have to get used to the characters of the ravens, and it's just really for observation that i could actually manage to do that. the tower of london is a place full of secrets due to superstition. the ravens have been under special protection by royal decree ever since the 17th century. they cared for by the human hoarders who guard the tower throughout its tumultuous history. the tower has been used as a palace, a prison and an armory. it's a tourist attraction in the heart of london and with the ravens. it's the place said to determine the destiny of the british monarchy and its subjects. be quite happy for the ravens to stay, but for the monarchy to end. this is the fest, have heard of the legend proving some reason to mason's last so long. i'm up to the believer as one to kristof escape. the job is a lifelong commitment. he lives in the tower of london with his family. he takes

care of the ravens, making sure they don't fly away, one safe way to keep them here. the right food, mice, rats, and even biscuit soaked in blood are on the menu. but sometimes what even that is enough. to feed the ravens here on occasions i trim up there, flight 5. i don't use the word clip. it doesn't sound right to me, but over the years as the way the master i, i've managed to actually stop doing that. so now the ravens actually flying around the tower and i use a minimum wing trim policy depending on the size of the wave in the white, the waving who they're bonded with and what type of year at what time of year is football, football, football. sometimes the ravens just want to play a foot board, which doesn't seem to fit their ominous meaning. ravens throughout history of been connected to bad omens. death. they,

they were one of the 1st birds because they're so intelligent to, to follow men into battle. and so they do have a dark connotation about them. but here at the tire of london, it is a little bit lighter because she, they leave the tab lundy will crumble, and i got home before the kingdom. so it's a good omen here. ah, every night christa escape says good night to his ravens. it's the end to another day. when he has said the entire nation from doom every winter between november and january, something very special happens on the german island of hello go land. the birth and the breeding of gray seals will during this time, young pups are born and raised here on the when protected dunes before they discover the water. and while it may be tempting to approach the adorable animals, visitors are only allowed to witness these incredible scenes from a distance on

a special trail for euro. max reporter hendrick belling went there for a 1st hand look and discovered that these pups aren't as harmless as they seem. ah, medical land is a nursery grounds for the gracie. i'm visiting the north sea archipelago where hundreds of seal pops are born and raised every year. there only a few places where you can get as close to grace youth as he own helical and, and they're much cuter than i thought, but also much more dangerous. after a 2 hour ferry ride, i reached germany's only island in the high seas. helical land was once a hide out for pirates before becoming a popular tourist destination in the 19th century. but i haven't come to visit the famous sandstone seas thick known as the longer i am headed for bod. juna, the smaller island next to the main island. in the winter,

there are fewer tourists, but many more seals. i'm here for them. sometimes they are so many animals that ranger into powers must block off the beach for a while. this gifts, the seal some peace and quiet, but mainly it's to protect the humans. because while they may look acute, these are germany's largest predators living in the wild. from this special path through the jones, we can observe the seals and see why they've come from november to january as mating season. and the time when mothers give birth, it's war, floods us. the saw. the reason it's so attractive is because it's protected from storm tides. and scott, it's very important when it comes to choosing a place to give birth to their young kid gray seal pups, me to be on land for at least the 1st 3 to 4 weeks. so that's what counts monthly income on tuffs saint lou from up close,

i can observe her mother suckled the young after 2 or 3 weeks. the cow leaves her pop on its own from then on. it has to fend for itself. ready ah voici i live elijah, although they look much the same. they're very different. there are fearful pops and ones that are always out for a pfizer that are always our friend leg bosses and ones that just peacefully observe. everything's good place so completely different characters or duffy militia cocktail. ah. after a few weeks the pops make their 1st attempt at swimming, but only after if molten, or shed their 1st for a coat. their company wide, le new go, doesn't offer them enough. protection in the water. over 650 pops, were born here this winter more than ever before. and just 2 weeks after giving birth, the cows are ready to mate again. at

this time, the males are even more aggressive. the bolts which way up to $300.00 kilos fight for the cows favor. i witnessed that right on the beach. i think safer by the range of thought, there goes of us off he in the larger one is certainly a young boy. ah, unfortunately he's trying to mate with a very young female and young kid so, but they might look cute, but they really aren't of as the season, doesn't it? now i know why we have to stay 30 meters away from them. do they buy advice like are they bite? is rota songs or i'd say they could buy it right through a leg like ours campus. really, really? once they've raised the young and made it again, the cs gradually leave helical lamps. then there are only a few left until next winter. seeing so many grace is in the wildest,

really impressive, especially the little babies. they are really, really cute. and when they get so close to them, you realize that they are really, really dangerous predators. and that's why i prefer to watch them from the safe distance. ah, but to satisfy my urge to pet one, i've borrowed this stuff toy from my daughter. definitely the smarter alternative. but the creatures in our next report might not be as cute as those gray seal puffs, but they're important all the same, love them or hate them. bees are an essential part of our lives. while after all, a large portion of the world's food production depends on their pollination. now, while they might be pesky to some bees are also essential to the work of slovakian artist till much liberty is b is not only make honey, they have proven to be true artists themselves.

some 60000 busy bees are hard at work in forming the 3. the bodies of sculptures with a wax in arch and nature go hand in hand and it's the brainchild of slovakian born artist. tom ashley martini. the reason why i wanted to work with the b is i want to celebrate and not typical hero. in this story, bees are seemingly longer book creatures, but they produce something that last time and time over again, and survived everything. it's not a typical hero that you can expect. he makes the models and leave the rest of to nature. his sketches out his ideas in his studio in the dutch city of rotterdam. he creates the frame 1st on the computer then in reality, by hand using wire on natural material. later the bees will be black, honeycomb,

the obvious know, would be like so when i work with these frames and variety of frames that i build, i have to be aware of one thing and that is the bees love is this will actually forums and beautiful changes between convex and concave forms. bees love curves. liberty nice be colonies live in a garden, north of the city center, where he looks after them. it takes lots of energy for the bees to produce their wax. they get most of the next, they need from april to july have glance on the abdomen that secrete scales from the base, collected on their hind legs. add some either needed with their mandible until they shape it into honeycombs. but the artist is well aware that nature cannot be

planned, it looks like it's quite cold outside, and the bees have receded to protect their broods. so i think they haven't built much in last couple days, which is normal. and we kind of expected that when you have some building activity already and at the bottom. so that's quite nice. the weather and the size of the sculpture, it can take anything from 2 weeks to 2 years to complete. i think this project is also very important besides being beautiful artwork in the context of saving the nice. i'm really happy and humbled that this project helps to promote these ideas in the kind of most entertaining aesthetic away. thomas leave a teenager westcove to have been exhibited the world over his famous version of if a t t was 1st exhibited and most of them couldn't tell me the and then in amsterdam

radiators gallery. this work is on show at the muta museum, and is on switzerland, new york city. moma owns one of the artists gotten. ah, the most fascinating thing about the b specs is that it's on one and extremely soft on the other is extremely durable. i love this contradiction, and it's a beautiful metaphor for how we should look and treat our society, that there are people around us that may look weak, but they possess something, a quality that extremely strong and something to celebrate. the lake allen live sweeter. and now making contribution to the world of on me and if you want to see more from your max and be sure to log on to our facebook page there, we will keep you up to date with the reports on the show. as well as with other stories from the world of culture and lifestyle. here's how to find us. or

lund, alice gustav son's farm is no exception. the 82 year old knows the centuries old tradition of cooling from her childhood days. the drawn out chance i used to call cattle back from grazing yet. oh, purple cornel. well me dig, i'll tell the cows home in my indistinct way. i'm bought off on his going for his was what it sounds like. com corblu. oh no. oh oh no. jenny is fascinated by these traditions. she's especially interested in stories of women who would spend the summer months all alone at these forms. tending to cattle. ah. was i want to let the odd. yeah. and if at the having and i don't want it that we don't learn about this in the school that his dad likes them. and

viola, his story of something that was a part of our history that simply not talked about it. thank you. i think then me leave leave. so i thought i will tell the story and as he stood em, fewer and fewer farmers practised cooling. today, though, lately the hurting coals have evolved into a veritable outfall. i am on cooling, come on board, assuming calls can be high or low pick on whatever get they can sound very pleasant . corolla growling, call it when it's done. when at set, that means there's so many different sounds and nuances more and plenty of traditions have grown out as her to coolness on her foot studio. jenny often shows office goes at special cooling concerts like here at this abandoned some a farm in lake sun. c

ah, good, i'm in the cooling from my childhood or there was an older woman who would make these hurting coals given it was great hearing these chance again in the local defence border. but now when i hear cloning that i it relaxes me to sense al harlem. you can feel these chance in your sources vibrating inside of in the body of. 2 these days might be more odd form in less farming call, but it remains a tradition very much alive in sweden. and on that note,
