  • One of the most amazing stories in the natural world -- a tale of intrigue and drama, set against grand Africa and its wildlife.
    The fig tree and fig wasp differ in size a billion times over, but neither could exist without the other. Their extraordinary relationship underpins a complex web of dependency that supports animals from ants to elephants. Each fig is a microcosm -- a stage set for birth, sex and death.
    One of the most amazing stories in the natural world -- a tale of intrigue and drama, set against grand Africa and its wildlife.
    "Truly, a masterpiece" - David Attenborough

    The Queen of Trees is the most exquisite, interesting and enlightening documentary I've seen in my 60 + years of life. Thank you and God bless you! I'm going to check out your other documentary. I wish you could make a dozen more as rich as The Queen of Trees!

    The incredible wonders of nature never cease to amaze in their complexity and beauty! There's no way that humans can ever recreate such perfection and accurate balance, but we can indeed protect it and be part of that wonder we call mother hearth.

    Fascinating story! Exceptional photography! Everyone should see this documentary. I'm fortunate to have 3 ancient oak trees. I actually understand their behavior better now. My chubby squirrels are do spoiled they leave hundreds of acorns on the driveway. We drive over them and crack them over then the wild turkeys feast on them. Loved the film

      @KosmiekAltertainment 3 года назад +9

      A doc like this is shot in different parts. The scenes inside the figs are most likely not shot in the figs on the tree but in a sort of lab/studio set up. Which makes it a lot easier to put in the tiny little cameras that in size could compare to the ones used in for example phones.

This highlighted why deforestation is very destructive to the ecosystems on earth and to man survival.Hope where ever these trees exist they are protected. So much life depends on them.

    Absolutely in awe of this tree - a more regal, majestic and inspiring Queen than any "royalty" I've ever heard of in any history lesson or current affair. Mother Nature is the epitome of nurture; a family tree i am honoured and eternally grateful to be a part of from my roots to my every cell of Beingness. Uniquely beautiful in every possible aspect. Wholeness. Giving thanks to my IINnerverse for it all starts from withIN 🌳

    Grew up with plenty of these massive trees. We even eat the fruits, but you need a lot of trying to find one with no small insects inside. Growing along river banks, the tree will attract even a specific types of fish along the river where the shades of this tree provides, it is believed the fish even eat its fruits falling into water. Different large birds will build their nests on the very top of these trees. The documentary is great, took me back to my childhood.
