-To survive in the wild,
one must be tough, fearless and have the ability to adapt.
One of the few mammals that possesses those traits
is none other than the Hispanic father.
Much like the honey bees who work
up to 12 hours a day, tending to their honeycombs,
the Hispanic father also works a long and tedious day.
He is truly one of the hardest workers
in the animal kingdom.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hola mijo
- Oh, is it cool if I go out with some friends tonight?
- Similar to the mighty lion of Africa,
the father leaves the majority
of the parenting to the mother.
- I did already, she said yes.
-Much like a koala,
who lays itself in a tree to relax,
the Hispanic father settles into his usual resting position
as he engages in his favorite pastime activity,
watching soccer.
The array of color and light released by the television
causes his eyes to spark in excitement like a chameleon.
Similar to the howl of a coyote,
the Hispanic father also has his own battle cry.
Goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal.
Can you tell Anthony to take out the trash before he leaves?
He told me he asked you already.
- The dopamine levels
of the father quickly diminishes
as he realizes his own offspring has betrayed him.
He wants to lie to me?
-Like a Spanish fighting bull,
he quickly charges towards his prey
and, without hesitation,
he pounds on his offspring's den.
-Mijo, open up!
- [Son] Why, am I in trouble?
- No, no, no, you're not in trouble,
mijito, don't worry.
-He begins to unravel a mechanism from his waist
known as, el cinto.
For most mammals,
this tool is harmless.
But, in the hands of a Hispanic father,
it becomes a weapon.
- I just want to talk.
- [Son] Okay.
- Did you lie to me?
- No.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
- Okay
You want to keep on lying?
- Like the stinger from a scorpion,
el cinto
possesses a quick and lethal strike.
And the offspring is all too familiar
with what is about to occur.
He has no choice but to accept his fate.
- Ramon!
- It seems as though his companion
does not approve of his actions.
- The Hispanic father
knows he is no match for her and puts his weapon down.
The offspring is relieved to know
he will live to see another day.
Much like in bonobo society, it's the female
that rules the land
and this female alpha has asserted her dominance.
