Conflicts of Nature : Conflicts in a Pond - Wildlife Documentary

[@grahamkelly8662]

Oh boy , I feel overwhelmed. Am I the only 1 that loves Wildlife Documentaries, found loads on KZbin, saved as many as you can to playlist. Realise that you have over 100 and don’t even know where to start? I find a new KZbin channel and if they have lots of full docs, then I feel compelled to the extent that I MUST save to playlist. I’m kinda having a laugh but I’m kinda serious, at same time. I feel like a hard core drug addict. I don’t even have enough time to watch all these docs and I still can’t stop adding to list. 😭

[@MakateRapulana]

The best documentary I have ever watched in my life. The suspense of not knowing what creature those devils will turn out to be. The dragonfly is a monster indeed.

[@emilyoftheemeraldcity]

I think the sound effects are cool. Makes it more interesting. If the scenes were just silent, it would seem there was something lacking from the film... You wouldn't be able to put your finger on it but something would seem missing and off... I think the sound effects- weather a bit overdone or not- were necessary.

[@djwildlifeclips9779]

Thanks for uploading this wonderful documentary - it is the first one I have seen purely dedicated to Dytiscus (marginalis). As an entomologist (herpetologist), I love the study, conservation and photography of freshwater macro-invertebrates! I am both interested in water insects of the temperate zones as well as in those found in the subtropics and tropics (including giant water bugs)!

[@mmlindsey8635]

I'M ENJOY THIS DOCUMENTARY

[@petelongrs]

This is a great video, very good quality with some really nice shots. One question: Is the 'green monster' really a dragonfly nymph or a damselfly nymph? I did think damselfly nymphs had the three fins at the end of their abdomen.

[@peterashby-saracen3681]

I think there was some confusion between the two - the nymph in the pond was a dragonfly, then what emerged was definitely a damselfly and then we briefly saw a shot of a dragonfly.... poor continuity there.

[@juanandresblancomachado]

[@mudlark4099]

The overdone sound effects are always obnoxious in these documentaries. A water bug laying eggs doesn't sound like a person abusing a bunch of celery irl.

[@andreabell9194]

Heather Deer thank you!!! Totally agreed.

[@CalliopeCarina]

I agree with you to a certain extent, and while I wholeheartedly agree that a water beetle laying its eggs in Iris stalks would not sound like a human chowing down on a stick of celery! My only disagreement/dispute with you would be that we don't know how these sub-aquatic sounds appear or present to other pond-dwellers... I am no expert, not by a very very long shot! but having owned fish and other aquatic creatures for 20+ years, I know that they are capable of picking up things we would not have thought possible. just my 2 cents...

[@AlichinoAi]

Ok in my opinion I wouldn’t have noticed all the sound effects if I hadn’t gone into the comment section first and all the complaints about them. I became more aware of what I was hearing while watching this, which is what made it distracting.... BUT... Honestly, besides the hatching & snail eating sounds, the rest wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be. Is the sound quality exaggerated? Yes.. And yet it still managed to kept me intrigued & was overall, an enjoyable program to watch.

Does anybody know which camera they used to shoot this documentary?

[@bearvillebear1468]

I have some words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this: All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? God is described as a "righteous judge" in the bible, many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This essentially means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortallly and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What is this new way entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. ... What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith to believe it. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured and *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still sin after accepting Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong one - of God bringing you back to Him and away from the destructive pleasures of sin (think greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did xxxx. I just felt that I should tell you regardless, just so that you know, tried to answer any questions. Xxx let me know if you have any more if you need clarification x

[@metalmamasue3680]

@@RPI79 We still have free speech and freedom to worship as we choose, or choose not to. No one said you had to read it, if you don't want to. If I was to guess, I'd say maybe you don't like everyone to have the same rights & freedoms or maybe you don't want to think about your own eternity after death. But I'm just guessing. In any event, other people's rights don't end because of your feelings. And if you're concerned about your eternal life, what do you have to lose by saying a prayer or reading more about eternal life ? You don't even have to say it out loud if that's not comfortable, and one can always find private time to read what we want. The choice is yours, of course.

Also, chirping worms and the sound of a recently hatched arthropod leg touching a leaf underwater is _totally_ like crinkling paper/plastic bags. Sound design is all over the place. I love it.

Saw this documentary in the Spanish tv years ago and it was since then my favorite documentary. I am very happy to have found it again, but the version in English is atrocious. The narrator and the sound effects are over the top, and destroy this marvelous documentary. It does not appear in the catalogue of Saint Thomas Productions, so I really don't know what to do to find the version in Spanish. I hope there's another version somewhere with better narrator and sfx.
