You might be interested in this wonderful radio piece on exactly that
phenomenon (but in Thailand), a segment of the wholly wonderful RadioLab
show on WNYC:

 http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/episodes/2005/02/18

Scroll down, it was the second part of the program -- MP3 available at the
top, you have to d/l the whole show though; the segments stream in some
other format as well but I don't have the right player for those. :D
