The BESIEBER - Animals & Nature | by prof Drock I use a Canon SX50 HS for most of my videos. It has an amazing built-in macro capacity, as well as 50x optical magnification.
I remember back when I was about 7 years old, I discovered some tadpoles in our pond so I decided to watch them grow. I got a sand bucket a scooped some out only for all of them to die. It wasn't until I was older before I realized that you need to feed them. I was not a smart child
Same thing happened to me; I thought they didnt have to feed until they became frogs and one day I just woke up to the poor tadpole floating inert. I wish adults stopped me but they just left me to learn a bitter lesson on the fragility of life lmao.
I fed mine fish food when i was a kid they grew pretty fast. My problem was I didn't know I had more than 1 type of frog, the bullfrog ate all the others =/
I use to bring a plastic cup and fill my cup with these animals i thought were "fishies" until my mom told me they were frogs and i was horrified after that 😂😂😂
Just sat and watched this with my 6 year old. She thought it was great. The extra details we could see such as the heart beating meant she was glued! Thank you for the work you've done!
I used this video in our Cub Scout Den. I had a hard time finding a complete metamorphosis video that wasn't cartoons or simplistic. I especially appreciate the attention to the cell division and locating the internal organs. Thank you for sharing this informative and well produced video.
+jdthorne96 Thanks for sharing my video with your Cub Scout Den. It's so important that young people learn about nature. It will be their job to protect nature for the next generation. DYB, DYB, DYB.
Nathan, thank you so much for this clear and helpful video. I've got hundreds of frog eggs starting to hatch in my little whisky barrel water feature, and this video helps me know what to expect and how to care for these little guys. Awesome!
I remember having a small pond with a batch of tadpoles on the way to school when I was younger. Always looked after their growth each day and gave them bits of food every now and then. A while later after each was growing big, only some frogs remained at the pond, then hopped away. I was never so happy so see little frogs growing up.
Aww tadpoles always make me smile, they're just too cute. Thank you for giving these guys a safe place to grow up during the most vulnerable time of their lives
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like that would pointed out things. For example when the front legs were still inside the tadpole. My children and I enjoyed this video.
What a wonderful video! I brought frogspawn into our conservatory and have been showing them everyday on FaceTime to my grandchildren in Malta and London since we are all now in lockdown because of Corona Virus. Your video is going to make the development of the tadpoles much clearer. Many thanks for posting!
Great video! I loved the quality, and all the intriguing shots. Thanks for including the 'day count' and all the extra informative details. All the photography was amazing and I find it helpful that you also include some tips on how to raise them as well. Keep up this work dude!
This is the most amazing video I've ever seen to show the transformation!! Such Clear, close ups, great detail, i love that you used little arrows to point to parts of the body that you were describing. Love it xx
I tried your methods here at a park Visitor Centre here in Alberta and it worked beautifully! I only had one hitch, in that there was a snail born parasite that gave the tadpoles huge air bubbles under their skin. But with medication and using spring water instead of their pond water the problem has not returned. Thanks for a great and easy rearing system! We have successfully raised our tadpoles and released over 70 frogs over the last two years.
Thanks for the very cool video! My kids and I loved learning about the early development of frogs! Especially, my four year old daughter. She was having a hard time connecting tadpoles to frogs but your video was great in showing the transition
Bro you have some great vids about the frogs I rather watch your vids even tho no specific explanation than cartoons . The evolution of the frogs are really satisfying. KEEP UP MY FRIEND
thank you for your video, I vaguely remember learning this in elementary school but not so in depth. I just acquired a little frog, there was a spawn nearby and I saved a bunch of them from drying out in the apartment hallway. I hope I can keep this last one for a while!
Wow that was a wonderful video! We used this for our homeschool classroom today and my son had so many questions about frog development (We found one earlier!). Thank you so much for taking the time to film this to give and up close look at the entire development of a frog. It's so much more useful than just drawings!
By far the best video I've come across. Looking forward to sharing this with my grandkids as we go through the process and they get to see first hand. Thank you
I really enjoyed this. What I found the most interesting was the fact that frogs start off as herbivores! I had no idea polliwogs only ate vegetation. The fact that frogs are such voracious carnivores as adults, I would have assumed they ate other animals as tadpoles as well! Much like dragonflies or other animals that go through a metamorphosis, they start out as carnivores, so I just assumed the same for frogs. Maybe amphibians are different than insects. Nevertheless, VERY INTERESTING!
Thank you for your fascinating work. I just discovered this today, and watched several of your videos. It is a fascinating process and obviously takes a lot of fastidious care to do it in "captivity." Wonderful job!
just remembered of my childhood when I was playing with these on the river side...damn, what days, what memories. These kids nowadays don't have such beautiful things to live
I just spotted some frogspawn in a local pond this morning which made me Google "tadpoles" and found your little film. Your video has made me feel very "broody" for a bucket of tadpoles. I used to collect them when I was a kid and never failed to be thrilled and delighted and entranced by their development stages. Lovely stuff!! x thanks for cheering me up on a dull old day.
This is an excellent video! thank you very much for sharing. My daughter learned about the life cycle with real images, not just drawings. Thank you again.
Great video! Found it while researching the discovery of black eggs in my kiddie pool. Already have some two week old tadpoles developing and have put rocks and plants in the water for food and climbing, when they're ready. First time nurturing these guys. Almost threw them out with the water until I got a closer look! ;-)
You make it look so dang easy! I've been struggling to keep mine alive. Everything seems to go well until they reach a ceryian stage, before their back legs form and they die. I've tried quite a bit of alterations, from more/less sunlight, plants, spring water, etc.and unless it's just the type of tadpoles I have that are just hard to keep alive, in doing something wrong and I'm frustrated. It would be great if I from all of this could manage to get at least ONE adult frog ... tips welcomed
Thank you for doing this!! I have frogspawn in my pond outside and have been worried I’d miss seeing them hatch so watching this has eased my worries and if I miss it then it won’t matter so much.
Very high quality images and video. Thank you for sharing this. Is it okay to dump the premature frogs in the pond like that or am I just being too sensitive? Lol.
4:44 awe!!!! So damn cute! lol. But in all seriousness, this is a wonderful video. Great visuals and also very informative. Thank you for uploading :).
I grew tadpoles in my class in 2018 and my students were so amazed at the different stages. I love your close up views. Thanks for sharing with other nature lovers!! Fort McMurray, Alberta Canada animal lover
Doug, thanks for the great video capturing the development of these wood frogs! It is interesting that there is such a variation in development times for the same batch of eggs!
Bruce Kosugi As I replied to another person, this batch was actually quite unusual in having so much disparity in apparent fertilization, or lack there of, and in development. First the eggs were developing rather out of sync, then the tadpoles were out of sync, too. It's too bad the batch that I ended up videotaping was actually rather atypical.
When the tadpole said "•¤•"
I really felt that
nice video

nice video
This is gift fru😊😊😎😎🔦
I was expecting a timelapse but your format was much more informative and we get some nice close-ups! Great stuff!
+Ariel Bruce exactly
Same here
I Agree
Ariel Bruce I agree
good i wasn't the only 1 this video is better than expected
nice and calm video without any music, i like it
Damn so i am back looking at tadpoles again i guess😅
i feel like a mother watching her children grow up
😀😀😀
Yes, hahahaha. They are so cute and their transformation were incredible.

I used this video for my project and I got the highest score in my class.thanks👌🏻😘😌😀😘🙂😇
Nice 👍
Really me tooooooo😍😍❤
Good job!😊
Imagine being a frog

Wow, your images are amazing, All thumbs up!
What camera do you have and did you use a macro lens?

NatureNorth Wow, it shows! You have the best tadpole vid that I watched so far... Have a nice weekend! ;)

Same thing happened to me; I thought they didnt have to feed until they became frogs and one day I just woke up to the poor tadpole floating inert. I wish adults stopped me but they just left me to learn a bitter lesson on the fragility of life lmao.
I used to watch them, but couldn't understand how they became frogs. Never saw one with legs until now.
Aaaa I did the exact same thing when I was little. Poor little me was devastated 😭
I fed mine fish food when i was a kid they grew pretty fast. My problem was I didn't know I had more than 1 type of frog, the bullfrog ate all the others =/
this is funny-
That blew my 4 year olds mind. Thanks!
+Wes E My 4 year old was speechless lol, a rare thing indeed!
I use to bring a plastic cup and fill my cup with these animals i thought were "fishies" until my mom told me they were frogs and i was horrified after that 😂😂😂
Same
that happened to me except i wanted to see them grow but my mom threw em:(
my 5-year-old sister loved this
I've never heard a word as cute as "froglet"
Nice sharing! I have completed capturing the life cycle of Indian bull frog from eggs to froglets. It take about 40 days.
Just sat and watched this with my 6 year old. She thought it was great. The extra details we could see such as the heart beating meant she was glued! Thank you for the work you've done!

wow. loved this up-close video. perfect for in-classroom use. very interesting. thanks for making this video.
You are doing a great job . well done 👍
Lol we look like tadpoles in the womb before we begin to develop our heads 😂
lol true
XD this made my day hahaha
but we're not frog species.
and it reminds me of a frog turning into a prince in a fairy tail
I really want to do this but I wouldn't be prepared to let them go.
this is me I always have a bug or something and I just wanna keep it forever but then I have to let it go because it doesn’t belong in my house :(
I raised tadpoles since u made this comment and I’m still keeping them
I raised a batch of tadpoles last year, releasing them was difficult, but now I get to hear them sing at night.
Nathan, thank you so much for this clear and helpful video. I've got hundreds of frog eggs starting to hatch in my little whisky barrel water feature, and this video helps me know what to expect and how to care for these little guys. Awesome!
Thank you---my four-year-old granddaughter and I enjoyed this very much!
“The tadpoles are very active and feed aggressively on the bits of lettuce.” I love that lmao
I remember having a small pond with a batch of tadpoles on the way to school when I was younger. Always looked after their growth each day and gave them bits of food every now and then. A while later after each was growing big, only some frogs remained at the pond, then hopped away.
I was never so happy so see little frogs growing up.
I adore frogs. This video was the best thing I happen to come across! Thank you! Seeing their beating hearts was amazing!!!
Imagine how terrifying it would be to internally grow arms that eventually break through your skin.....
Puberty was not a problem for me, that one froglet matured way faster than his buddies.
Lol
Aww tadpoles always make me smile, they're just too cute. Thank you for giving these guys a safe place to grow up during the most vulnerable time of their lives
They ate each other
My 4yr old ask a lot of questions and thank god i found this.!!🙌🏻
Thanks for the video. My son enjoyed it very much and now he wants to see more of them.
nice
it's neat to watch
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like that would pointed out things. For example when the front legs were still inside the tadpole. My children and I enjoyed this video.
3:08 That... is the most precious thing I have ever seen in my entire life... 😭😭😭
This is such an underrated video! I really enjoyed seeing the progression of the eggs to tadpoles to frogs. Very very cool!
What a wonderful video! I brought frogspawn into our conservatory and have been showing them everyday on FaceTime to my grandchildren in Malta and London since we are all now in lockdown because of Corona Virus. Your video is going to make the development of the tadpoles much clearer. Many thanks for posting!
My daughter is impressed! Thank you :)
I remember in my 6th grade we had a small fish pond that was overrun by tadpoles. A few months later, well...
The little white critters swimming about are a type of Copepod, commonly known as "Cyclops".
nice one dude keep up that good work :) (y)
Thanks for the information!!
Nice video keep it up
NatureNorth nice i can use this for my school work on frogs
I was reading comments hoping you’d say! Thank you for a wonderful educational resource for my kids!
Great video! Love the close ups of tadpole features!
i appreciated your hardwork sir this is incredible
Absolutely fascinating! And the time and talent it took to record this amazing journey is just as impressive. Thank you so very much! 👍
Great video! I loved the quality, and all the intriguing shots. Thanks for including the 'day count' and all the extra informative details. All the photography was amazing and I find it helpful that you also include some tips on how to raise them as well. Keep up this work dude!

I'm so bored during this coronavirus lockdown I saw and enjoyed this entire video. Thanks for making this a little easier lol

This video is awesome! Every now and then I come back to watch it. Thanks for sharing.
Really cool. Thanks. I love the close ups.
Bro
you have some great vids about the frogs
I rather watch your vids even tho no specific explanation than cartoons .
The evolution of the frogs are really satisfying.
KEEP UP MY FRIEND
thank you for your video, I vaguely remember learning this in elementary school but not so in depth. I just acquired a little frog, there was a spawn nearby and I saved a bunch of them from drying out in the apartment hallway. I hope I can keep this last one for a while!
Thank you for this video! I just showed it to my little boy to teach him about frogs.
I really enjoyed watching this transformation. It was so well done. Thank you for uploading this!
I think you've worked hard for this video....
WONDERFUL!!!
Oh i am a fish nope I am a frog
Wow that was a wonderful video! We used this for our homeschool classroom today and my son had so many questions about frog development (We found one earlier!). Thank you so much for taking the time to film this to give and up close look at the entire development of a frog. It's so much more useful than just drawings!
Everything about this video was perfect. No annoying music, extremely helpful and fun to watch!
*4:47** look how cute that is.* 😭❤
I found this on my recommendation, and it’s worth to learn and watch xP
By far the best video I've come across. Looking forward to sharing this with my grandkids as we go through the process and they get to see first hand. Thank you
What a fantastic video you have uploaded. Brilliant for kids at school, especially with life cycles. Thanks for sharing.

Nevertheless, VERY INTERESTING!
Polliwogs? Is polliwog an actual term in real life? I watched Pokemon as a kid, i am pretty sure there was a tadpole Pokemon named POLLIWAG.
well made transformation sequence. I can see you put a lot of work in this documentary
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video capturing the growth of frogs. Thumbs up!!!
Thank you for your fascinating work. I just discovered this today, and watched several of your videos. It is a fascinating process and obviously takes a lot of fastidious care to do it in "captivity." Wonderful job!
This is very informative and nicely filmed. My 4 year-old daughter and I love it!
Thanks! I appreciate your hard work! Very informative and pretty cool.
I really am impressed by the awesome footage, close-ups and descriptions! Very informative! Good job, sir! 👍
Well done! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
very Nice little video. It seems like you've put a lot of efforts into this project.

Thanks so much for posting this. We're learning about the life cycle in school and this helped so much! The kids loved it!
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing this!
This was a good tutorial, now I entered the frog form. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. My kiddos absolutely loved watching and learning about frog development.
For me a frog is the most closest you can see on what happens before a thing gets developed cause the insides is so visible when they're young
Thank you for sharing this. Every form of life is so fascinating.
one of the reasons why I love fckng science and biology ... great video sir ..
This is an excellent video! thank you very much for sharing. My daughter learned about the life cycle with real images, not just drawings. Thank you again.
Great video and "subtitles"! nicely done.
My little boy says "he loves your film". Cheers for putting in the effort.
nice documentation
Thank you for this video! Succinct, thorough and entertaining. My students are going to love this! Thank you!

Sounds like a disease or parasite problem. Try disinfecting your aquarium with vinegar and get eggs from another source. Hope this helps.
Thank you for doing this!! I have frogspawn in my pond outside and have been worried I’d miss seeing them hatch so watching this has eased my worries and if I miss it then it won’t matter so much.
Your videos are amazing. My kids watched your egg-frog and egg-salamander videos and learned a lot and loved them.
good job man... you help my homework fast...🖒🖒🖒🖒
Very high quality images and video. Thank you for sharing this.
Is it okay to dump the premature frogs in the pond like that or am I just being too sensitive? Lol.
The video is very beautifully made, mostly natural sounds and close up videos. Thank you for making this one. Good job !
This video is exceptional, I never saw such a video with this type of clarity.
I gotta say, those are adorable!!
This video is a gift. Using it for school!!!!
Thank you for showing this, it’s amazing
This was awesome to watch, thank you!! I was more riveted watching this than normal tv. Creation is amazing!!!
Great video, thank you for your time & effort :)
4:44 awe!!!! So damn cute! lol. But in all seriousness, this is a wonderful video. Great visuals and also very informative. Thank you for uploading :).
Really cool of you to show this process, I commend all the effort that must have went In to this project.
One of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched 🐸
such an amazing process. thanks for sharing with us. ☺😊💞💙
when eating lettuce they look like little mice lol
