    This is great, Z. Aleuts in Alaska used to have sky burials, too.

    I thought so to CW, the way in which Tibetans who use sky burials to deal with death and give the body back to nature, is really fascinating.
    I did not know the Aleuts did this as well, very interesting.

    It's crazy you brought this up, because I was just talking to my husband about it last night! I think I even saw that same special about it.

    Hi tamm,
    LeonBasin created a thread the other day on Attenborough - Life of Mammals, and it made me think about the other BBC series Human Planet, and I remembered the Tibetan Sky Burial. So I thought I'd try and see if it was on youtube, it was, so I thought other people might be interested in seeing it. :)
