Preposterous Pets

Petting Jaws is a single‑episode programme that falls under the “episode” genre. It is presented as a slice‑of‑life documentary‑style feature, focusing on unusual animal companionships in contemporary settings. The title hints at the quirky nature of the stories it follows, and the format keeps the narrative tight and focused. The first segment follows a young woman living on the west coast of America as she navigates the nocturnal world alongside a pair of tamandua anteaters. Rather than a typical night‑out, her evenings are spent observing and interacting with these small, arboreal mammals, offering a glimpse into a world where human and wildlife rhythms intersect in unexpected ways. The second storyline centres on a couple who have chosen to share their home with hippos. Their daily routine includes caring for these large, semi‑aquatic animals, highlighting the practical and emotional dimensions of cohabiting with creatures far removed from ordinary domestic pets. Together, the two narratives provide a portrait of people forming bonds with animals that lie far outside conventional pet ownership. By juxtaposing the quiet, night‑time companionship of the tamanduas with the more demanding presence of hippos in a household, the episode paints a picture of diverse, unconventional relationships that challenge typical ideas of what it means to live alongside wildlife.

Set on the American west coast, the episode centres on a young woman who spends her evenings out in the city’s nightlife, accompanied by a pair of tamandua anteaters. Together they wander through dimly lit streets, observe the buzz of late‑night venues and experience the urban after‑hours from the curious viewpoint of the small, insect‑eating mammals. The story also follows a couple who have opened their household to two hippos, learning to accommodate the massive creatures within their everyday routine and sharing their living space with the unexpected companions. They adapt to the hippos’ dietary requirements, modify their garden and manage the water needs, all while maintaining their normal domestic chores.
