Considering the size and the vegetation that makes keeping up with small things like that almost impossible. The filming is mind-blowing to me. Phenomenal work
absolutely agree
Yo post name 👹 🤮
@@YAH-1 It's Devil....maybe Mr. Devil.
That's true
Just so you know, most likely this was staged and shot in a studio. I know this cuz I worked on some National Geographic shoots.
That is the sweetest thing. You'd never expect a frog to be such a dedicated parent, but time and time again, though they look as if there's not a thought in their head, they amaze and astound.
African Bullfrogs take care of their young too, at least the dads.
@@hunterhq295 I love that one video where an African Bullfrog digs out a fresh current to replenish their drying up nursery and saves their tadpoles.
We are program of taking care of kids.
😅 k always feel offended on their behalf
... What are thoughts supposed to look like?
@Merci Politely oh brother 🤦
The fact that the camera man was immersed in this smaller spectrum and kept up… the production crew was top tier… absolute excellence
Probably use drones to capture
@@jygogaming3550 These shots are literally the exact opposite of a drone shot capturing the entire landscape while 750 ft off the ground. It's filiming tiny animals in tiny spaces just a few inches away.
Even if you could get a drone in tight enough without scaring everything off (you couldn't), the ability to capture these shots with the correct focus, aperture, and exposure requires an absolute artist with the camera.
@@paulybeefs8588these shots actually made in studio
They probably filmed it on a stage. Everything is set up.
A lot of these "nature" docos are either shots in captivity interspread with natural footage, or 100% in captive. The shot with the tadpole entering the water gathered in the plant crevices is physically impossible for any camera
I had no idea Poison Dart Frogs were such good parents!
Not all are. I have one kind where a female has produced 124 tadpoles in about 6wks. The dads give a one-time ride to water, and then the tads are on their own, and mom was out after she laid them.
Lots of darts make great pets.
@@TheHumbleWordsmith Lmao that's not in nature though, you can't compare the two
I like this. 💓
Some dart frogs eat the eggs and/or the tadpoles. Just like with humans, some parents are selfish.
@@TheHumbleWordsmith aren't they super dangerous? Why would you keep them as pets?
Best parent award for those frog parents 👍🏻
Yes I agree.
True man ❤️
I'm the 1000th like.
yeah! surely true ❤
the fact that the parents memorize a ''for their scale'' MASSIVE 3D space is incredible, not to mention the evolutionarily genius move of laying un fertilized eggs as convenient food sources for their tad poles. nature is amazing.
and they could be startled, had to flee away or even killed by other animals at anytime during their hectic duty
So it's all thanks to the process of evolution huh? That's like praising the process of pistons moving and turning the crankshaft of an engine, instead of praising the engineers who designed the process.
@intosilence1773 take your meds
@@intosilence1773this is the first time i've seen a passive aggressive creationist 😅
@@intosilence1773 Yes. Without evolution, they wouldn't have the synaptic capability of understanding the premise of raising their children. You are being pedantic why?
Wow! To be able to get around that 3D maze and remember what nooks you stashed your babies in...amazing!
These animals are spectacular
I feel like humans would fail this test in a jungle
@@swadhinpatro1986 I sure would! My sense of direction is crap, at best! lol GPS has been one of the best inventions in my life. :D
There's a study showing that they also smell the water hole to make sure there's no other tadpole there (their own or otherwise). If two tadpoles are in the same water cup, one of them will be eaten by the other!
@@swadhinpatro1986 I certainly would. I'm directionally challenged , have poor eyesight and hearing.
How did you guys manage to film all these stuff?! It's unbelievable! Hats off!
Some of the "environments" are actually pre-staged in special vivariams, especially for the close-ups. Not all of it is filmed like this, but some of it is.
@@sephen131 yup, none is bringing millions of dollars of equipment to the middle of the jungle. Not because they dont want to but because there is too much room for error and malfunction. Besides danger of poisonous critters.
For close up it has to be this one macro lense that's soo long it's meant to film sensitive animals that runs away when approached closed forgot what it was called but it's for macro shooting close ups so u won't disturb
@@cionm7077 the frogs are animatronics
Green screen man , come on
Look how the father jumped and walked gently and cautiously to prevent falling off while he's giving it's offspring the piggyback ride to go to a safer location for it's child?
*That's one hella Dad 🤙🏽*
“Hella” dad?
@@botulismcasserole9832 yup *hella.*
Unlike ya mum
It’s incredible that this basically a convergence of song birds!
-monogamy pair bonds
-rearing young in nest-like structures
-bringing back (or in this case creating) food
-calling to one another
-sharing the workload
It’s not a perfect one-to-one fit. But the similarities are striking!
A number of fish pair bond too. Parenting is pretty ancient 😁
@@TragoudistrosMPH fish don’t put their eggs in a nest and vocalize to their mates like birds. These frogs did. Hence the term convergence: to come to a similar conclusion.
@@devonhill9099 sticklebacks:
Toadfish:
Furthermore there’s many fish that essentially have what could be called a nest of a small ditch in the ground or other thing

And the Mom & Dad of the Year award goes to this extraordinary couple. Congratulations!
It's 97 years of David attenborough this guy outlived my whole generation.
These little guys have always had a special place in my heart because they were one of my favorite animals as a small child. They almost don't look real! So beautiful
omg same!
@Slawsers yep they get their toxins from the prey they eat. I hope to get some bumblebee dart frogs when I’m older. They grow about 2 inches and are the easiest dart frog species to keep as pets
@Slawsers I’d recommend doing lots of research before hand though. From what I’ve found they like a humidity level of around 60-100% for bumblebee dart frogs
The hardest part for the poison dart frogs is how they are endangered species. They need to be protected at all costs.
y
You're absolutely right
There are several species, some are not endangered at all but yes others are at risk. However safe and responsible exporting means the frogs will also exist safely in the capitivity hobby in case deforestation destroys their home, they won’t go extinct..
I have a dozen in my living room.
Npc
This is my very first time to see how great those creatures are. The sweetest parents!
Яка відчайдушна боротьба за своє життя в своїх нащадках! Дивовижно яка відповідальність у батьків і прагнення зберегти кожного малого. Дякую BBC!
I am amazed by the hard work, dedication, team efforts that must have gone in to making these kind of gentle, informative and thought provoking videos. Hats off !!
ちゃんと親わかるし引っ越すことも分かるし背中から落ちない 一粒種かわいい
Always Stunned by the quality of the images.
Thank you to all the people that work hard to give us this gift.
Great video on how they can survive and multiply in their natural habitat. They need protection from us. Thanks BBC and David Attenborough
These frogs are better parents than most humans.
There is always someone posting this in such videos.
@@akj7 thanks dad
@J Kiss probably because they don't worry about working ,paying the bills , driving them to school and back etc...
They just hop and live life to the fullest no worries just croaking and watching out for the occasional predator
@@garex1939 nice excuses to neglect your kids 👌
@J Kiss I don't know what is like to have kids is just an assumption
It’s unbelievable. No words. Just tears.
Just beautiful little critters! 🙂 An immense amount of time, effort, and skill must have gone into showing them to us. 😯
The agape love, dedication and commitment of the dart fog is so adorable and worth emulating
The biology of those frogs is amazing. How is it that such a tiny creature can remember things like placement, listen to and understand a call, know when and how to transport it's young. This goes beyond instinct.
There certainly must be a God of the Universe who put a parents' heart & guiding system in these frogs to care for their young
They too have tiny but efficient brains, untill frog satan comes and puts evil thought to it so the PD frog cheats on his wife.
Quran 2:26
“Behold, God does not disdain to propound a parable of a mosquito, and of what is above it, Now, as for those who have attained to faith, they know that it is the truth from their Sustainer - whereas those who are bent on denying the truth say, “What could God mean by this parable? In this way does He cause many a one to go astray, just as He guides many a one aright: but none does He cause thereby to go astray save the iniquitous.” Surah al Baqra, 2:26.
The Animals follow the paths they where inspired to follow by the Creator.
@@DoreenWongSingapore it'd imagine its got to do with the brain and neurons. As same as humans and how our brains are firing millions of electrons, thus giving us information. Although some of us seems not to be getting enough
Oh Attenborough 💔
He's still alive.
How is this even captured. Incredible video.
I am in a Shelter right now and down the hall is a woman with a 2 month old baby....She leaves her baby screaming in her room and goes down stairs to have her lunch and play with her phone and chat with other girls I am literally right this second listening to the baby screaming his head off for the last 25 minutes.....watching the devotion of these Frogs is depressing in comparison...
That sucks
Awww, that face at 0:56
Nature is beautiful... No matter how cruel it can be but it stills offers so much to rethink about everything
The visuals and editing are top-notch. You have serious talent!
Tadpoles are so cute 🥺
That's interesting, cuz I found them ugly. But the frogs are the cute ones thou.
@@W-H98 but tadpoles are baby frogs
@@Kiki4meezi Frogs are the cute, imo. Not tadpoles.
@@W-H98 they look like sperm with faces lol
That tadpole is just like "frather! Help me frather!
And the frog goes "of course my child! Quickly, onto my back!
The way the little tadpole nuzzled on its father’s leg after being dropped off into a new pool, like it was saying, “Thank you, Daddy,” and then, “Papa, I’m hungry.”
The genius behind - cameraman
...what an extraordinary journey he/she had.
Frogs always act as a dedicated parent, as we all learned and saw in Fable town.
Being a tadpole's parents is a very complicated undertaking. I'm amazed these tiny juwels are able to do what I just believe to have observed.
Am very impressed by everything this video shows, and of course Mr. Attenborough's comments fit in more than perfectly.
I used to keep some Poison Dart Frogs, very interesting to observe them in a terrarium with live plants. I mainly kept a species like this one (Ranitomeya Inermedius) and Highland Sirensis.
What did you feed them?
@@AbcAbc-sp1od captive dart frogs are fed flightless fruitflies dusted with supplement powders. Tadpole diets depend on the species.
@@AbcAbc-sp1od What Seraphim said, flightless fruit flies, also microfauna like springtails, occasionally pinhead crickets.
@@greekatso thanks!
@@seraphimseptimus6984 thanks!
I love BBC nature documentaries - and Sir David. 💕
Hi how are you doing?
They’re so adorable. I love them.
This show the love of mom and dad for their offspring.🥰
The film is astounding. Salute!
I saw another one that said the poisons (from their food) is present in these unfertilized eggs, so when they eat them it leaks into the water and causes their little pools to become poisonous- to protect them from predators
that moment when frogs have a better marrige and relationship and better patents than humans XD
Hats off to the entire team of BBC for this masterpiece 🫡💙
I love the BBC docus! Well filmed and Peter making a great job! Greets Stefan
Tiny and yet amazing creatures 😊
1:51 - mummy? Are you my mummy?
I still have no idea how they capture these moments so well... I mean where do they find these at that precise timing. Seriously cameraman species is from another planet :)
Thankfully frogs have a handy habit of screaming their location for everyone to hear
sometimes it's hundreds of shoots man
their camera people are on another level also they have access to unbeleivable equipment
They are paid actor frog
Simply amazing! Not just the nature that is being shown but the photography!
Can we please for forever keep these forests intact 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've always wondered how on earth the team filming such gorgeous shots, i mean, thats so close angle, incredible!
Dude I just LLLOOOOVVVEEE that. Fathers and mothers working together as a team and not trying to compete with each other. Mother not trying to take the job of a father. It's refreshing to see.
Incredible. I had no idea these frogs cared for their tadpoles. This beautiful documentary blew my mind!
I didn't know this about poison dart frogs at all! Thank you for this video
nautre is so wow magnificent in all aspect of good and evil.
Masterpiece 🔥
Watching this and all I can think is the two frogs translating to; “hey babe! ----What!!!” From across the house lol
Truly amazing.... I'd like to understand how long it took to film this????
NAAAH TOO CUTE omg I wanna see how the dad put his baby on his back 😭❤️✨
The baby swims onto his back and holds on with a sucking motion from the moisture.
that was so freaking adorable they are tears in my eyes
amazing, this is so interesting that these frogs are such great caring parents.
Human parents should watch this, great for parenting classes 💯
froggy back ride
This is just amazing. My mind is blown. Nature is astounding. 💚💛🧡
I am amazed by their behaviour. The coordination and effort put into raising offsprings are very human-like.
Crazy coincidence I was just thinking about this practice by frogs putting tadpoles in bromeliad plants. I was thinking about it because I have a bromeliad in a terrarium that is a clone from the first one I got about 7 years ago, it's about 4 years old on its own and it's starting to flower, which I understand only occurs once in its life.
Sort of depends what you consider to be the one plant. Bromeliads will produce pups after flowering, which are clones of the original plant. I personally consider these pups to still be the same plant, but opinions vary.
@@biosparkles9442 I think about this often: where is the line between individual plants and their clones or between them and plants grown from their cuttings?
When a tree is cut down and a new shoot begins growing from its stump, is the tree that grows the same one that was cut down? Just because they share identical genetics and origin, are they the "same"?
When they’re climbing up the stalk, she slaps his back as if to say “come on, what are you doing? Let’s go!”
What an interesting relationship!
It was so amazing to see those beautiful scenery.
Beautiful video!
My mind the whole video was like "where did u even get this footage"..
It's just hella majestic ❤❤
What the frog didn't know is that the camera is already in place before he reach the safer place for his tadpole. Amazing!
Crazy good quality. Thanks
These folks are better parents than most humans it's insane what parents do for their children
That's because animals don't have to deal with human problems.. feminism, custody battles, money problems, men and women who seem to have forgotten their roles in life etc...
I still will never be able to understand how they get such good footage of such hard to see animals in their natural habitat no less 🤯🤯🤯
Male and female, they do different things and provide what the other can’t. Simple and awesome.
It's just science, some people will be offended by what you said. lmao
@Christian Dimatulac literally no one is offended. You tried though.
@@velspy9851 Our society say otherwise.
@@chn92694 okay joker
@@velspy9851 I'm not even telling you a joke.
Someone discovered them, others studied them, and they filmed them. Those tiny little creatures. Congrats! I'm impress. 🤩
This is adorable, what a great frog father he is to those little jelly children ☺️☺️☺️ edit : and great frog mother! 😄☺️
Gosh, the eyes of the little one, just like "Daddy, I need help!"
oh my god, i had no idea that a frog would go to such lengths for parenting!!
I have multiple varieties that exhibit this behavior. What's really amazing here is that they caught all this on camera. Often my first sign that there's been a successful breeding is seeing a new tiny frog hopping about.
Wow. Nature is absolutely amazing.
How does it get on his back?
I think it jumped on his back, it must be an instinc thing
RUclips search for "tadpole swim-up" the parent stands over the drying tadpole and the tag wiggles up the leg and onto the back
Baby is so cute.. just a head and tail. And when he was on the back of his dad… how did he even stay on? But it was super cute!! I hope they are doing well.
The things we do for our babies ❤
Fornication.
Life is fragile, meaningful and beautiful.
How do you guys even capture this , it’s really amazing
The music is so majestic.
What an absolutely phenomenal filming !
This made me chuckle
I love how they can put tiny cameras to capture all of dart frog's moment.
These frogs are better parents than some humans
Mr.Attenborough's voice makes it even more spectacular
❤❤
..and after watching this video ,we begin to respect these tiny creatures...
Watching a tadpole in 2160p is just fabulous!!
Nature is so fascinating.
All hail camera man. From smallest detail to size of known universe the camera man always there for our enjoyments
The way the tadpol n the dad looks each other n then gave a piggy ride..😜
love hearing this man's voice
