...question that's not answered-and probably not answerable-by either the video or the scientists is how well the beaten-up baby fared after the cameras stopped rolling. Certainly the right bite to the neck would have caused the baby to bleed out fast-which did not appear to happen-and the right hold on its hind legs would have broken them, making it impossible for him to trot back to the herd as he did.

"I can't imagine how bad Japanese health really is. I'm surprised...
...simple to blame the decline of the Japanese diet on the arrival of Western fast-food chains over the past several decades. It first took a hit at the end of World War II, when the nation was starving, and the U.S. occupation sought to fatten up a generation of underweight children through mandatory school lunch programs that pushed calorie and fat-rich Western foods such as milk, pork and bread at the expense of the Japanese diet.
