Captiva Island

Detailed Animal Action Report

Sam and Jeremy stop on their way to her grandfather’s to inspect her crab traps. Sam pulls the trap out of the water and takes three crabs out with a pair of thongs and shows them to Jeremy. She then replaces the crabs back into the trap. There are several scenes where we see a pelican sitting on a perch. The pelican that was used in this film came from the Care and Rehabilitation Of Wildlife in Florida, an organization for the rescue and care of injured wildlife. The bird had been rescued five years earlier after having been found shot. A representative from the organization was on the set at all times when the pelican was used. In several scenes a golden retriever is seen with T.J., a friend of Sam’s and owner of the cab. The dog is either on T.J.’s docked boat or in the cab. There is one scene when T.J. takes the kids out on his boat looking for a buried treasure and a storm starts. The dog is on the boat but is never seen during the time of the storm. The dog was the personal pet of the cameraman and just obeyed the instructions of his owner.
