Thank you to The Great Courses Plus for supporting PBS Robert: Somewhat random aside: I've been stuck thinking about the original 'Sonic the Hedgehog' games lately. All the animals that you save from the robots are either mammals or birds (except for one level of Sonic 2 that has turtles) but the majority of the robots that you fight are modelled after invertebrates or fish. It's a weird dissonance where it's a story of nature versus technology, but the view of nature is skewed to being very mammal-centric.
It's a bit weird to say about some old platform games, but it feels like a pertinent example of how some people view animals?
