DANGEROUS POND Design for Kamp Kenan! - Part 1

[@sallyrutledge8238]

Thank you again... You were there when Fred's family needed you to build this new ecosystem at Kamp Kenan. With 60% of the space devoted to land, the remaining 40% of the area that is the water had to carry ALL waste material that would be generated by the Caiman. Once again, your "Aquascape" bioengineering came through. So looking forward to the introduction of these crocodilians so that we can learn about their unique place in the Planet's ecosystems. Kenan says they are active at night... should make for some amazing videos !!!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks Sally! The Caimans have created a few challenges for us but that’s what makes the job interesting! Thanks again for your feedback and support……

[@TheScottronica]

I love seeing this planning portion. Thanks Ed.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

I love designing unique features!

[@bluedeva]

Once again Ed you and your team smashed it out of the park helping Kenan carry on Fred’s Legacy 👌🏻The friendship you have is always so fun and love how you bounce ideas off each other to make these amazing homes for his scalebabies 🤗

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for your feedback!!! I love working with Kenan!!!

[@bluedeva]

@@EdThePondProfessor you can really tell you all have so much fun together 🤗

[@AndyAtTheZoo]

Love these break down videos. I’m looking to build some outdoors ponds for my crocodilians in the near future and this gives me great ideas and knowledge! Thank you!!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Awesome!!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

That’s Great!!! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!

[@tbella5186]

Caiman Creek will be inhabited in days! Such a beautiful enclosure for The Kamp.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks!!! I can’t wait to see how they adapt to their new home…..

[@tbella5186]

They will 💯 live their best life ☺️, treating Kenan like besties in a week!

[@melissamotcheck9705]

I have found so many of the critter channels that I follow on youtube because of pond builds you guys have done. It all started with turtles. Thank you so much for all the information you give us. I now have gravel and plants suspended in all of my aquariums and they have never looked better✌💖

[@sallyrutledge8238]

I agree... Ed and Gary are there designing and building the foundations for the best possible worlds for these wonderful animals !

[@charlie_moorcroft]

Awesome McCarthy footage. They are good friends.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

It’s a great place!!!

[@staceyroberts3468]

Thank u for everything u have done at Kamp Kenan ! I really enjoy his channel and love all the water features and enclosures! My DREAM YARD!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for watching Stacey!!! Kenan’s place is Awesome!!!

[@aronoiiel]

Its absolutely incredible how well you break down the reasoning behind the way you work builds. I wish more people would watch these videos. The system came out beautifully I look forward to seeing how the caiman enjoy it.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for watching!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@sallyrutledge8238]

Yes... his reasoning behind the design shows the depth to which his understanding of the natural world takes his creativity. A man to admire is Ed the pond professor !

[@lorineilly6103]

I have watched KampKennan for years on KZbin so I know who you are. Thanks for all you do for the animals.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Awesome!

[@gabrielpacheco6922]

Another awesome aquascape ecosystem!! I really enjoy these videos of you explaining the science n method to your builds. Great Insight, you truly are an artist. Can’t wait to see the Caimán interacting in that natural ecosystem.

[@sallyrutledge8238]

I agree... the science behind the design lets us see into the process of bioengineering ... and I love it !

[@Donnamhm012]

This video is absolutely amazing!! I love seeing and learning from creative geniuses such as yourself! It looks like it's going to be a wonderful habitat for the Cayman, and I can't wait to see them living in their new home!! Thank you for sharing!❤🐊🐊

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thank you Donna!!! It’s a diverse occupation and I love the challenge!

[@bethmontgomery1331]

Always interested in seeing your vision Ed in the design & planning stage !

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for watching Beth!!!

[@chriskocurekii6085]

Ed I love these designing videos. Most especially when you show alot of details. Cause I will be doing a DIY Cuvier's dwarf caiman enclosure in the near future in Texas. And when it's all complete I would love to have you out and see everything. And yes I will be ordering everything from y'all.

[@catherineengle4196]

That wildlife place looks like our Tigers For Tomorrow here where I live. We dont have the gators or crocs but we have little bit of everything else. God bless

[@deborahcorreale352]

Loved all the information on planning, your reasons why your doing specific things and sketch! What a great video!

[@staceyroberts3468]

It’s amazing at all that goes into a build like this!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

We’ll definitely take our time to determine the best course of action along with identifying problem areas that can cause damage to any of the animals, the enclosure or visitors….

[@beckyjackson7755]

Love all the ponds you have done for Kenan!! They look great and all take the animals into consideration and not just the beauty of the pond.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for noticing the details Becky!!!

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Hi Ed. How are you Sir? I am looking forward to see the project completed. I appreciate you sharing. Thankyou very much Sir. 👍😊❤️

[@tysonwiegand2786]

Alot more to it than just digging a hole

[@assiahinarkansas]

Been waiting for your vids on this project build! The pond looks great. Will be even better when planted.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks! & Yes!!! Much better after it’s been planted….

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

You said you usually apply concrete fabric at the bottom to prevent burrowing creatures from tearing through the linings. If you want to give the animal the ability to burrow, how would you do that? Would you add soft soil or sand at the bottom? For full disclosure, I live in an apartment building; therefore, I don't have a backyard for a pond and don't have a specific example to give, but I love learning about this.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Great question!!! I would add specific areas for burrowing, typically deep sand or very small diameter gravel(1/4” or less) I don’t use too much soil for burrowing because it can cause water quality issues if it’s routinely disturbed.

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Thanks for answering my question.

[@bellis8204]

What great info. Thank you!

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Y'know what's interesting, Fred's caiman enclosure was a lot like the one you're building except a whole lot bigger. Love to see this!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

👊👊

[@thefishylife6823]

Could you imagine being stuck in the woods at night as if that wouldn't be scary enough you have little 5 to 6 foot dinosaurs walking around ....lol oh I love the wild and south American rain forest in particular.... yall did a great job this is my favorite pond build at Kenans .... the pools and falls with the illusion in the middle it's super cool and unique!!! It really is different from most aquascape builds from the design standpoint at least.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for noticing the unique details of this project!!!

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

A very fun video. As I imagined it is complex and detail oriented.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for your support!!!

[@samhue4194]

Great explanation.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@Takhii]

The tiger at the end of the video was absolutely gorgeous 😍 👌 ❤

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Yes!!!

[@FimbongBass]

Kenan and Ed are like two brothers from another mother

[@rashidasimmons6180]

I realize I have very little patience... In the sense that I'd rather watch an hour long video where I can see the entire process to completion, than waiting for the follow up videos to be released 😳. Just eager I guess. Appreciate the sketch and the inclusion of the measurements. Sometimes it's hard to really picture how large some of these systems are.. Or the actual layout. Especially after a year or two when the landscape is developed...

[@rashidasimmons6180]

@Aleesha Sattva oh... Will check it out. Thank you 🤗. Will admit I kind of slack off his channel years back (just got busy); around the time he found back the missing fly River turtle.

[@StarWarz8888]

hello. I am Vietnamese.. what is the use of the black water pipe placed at the bottom of the filter tank? and is it used to suck water up or push water out?

[@Jamesrcrowley80]

Sweet

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks James!

[@robinvarnadoe7434]

Do the McCarthys tigers not have pools in their enclosures? If not they sure need to as Tigers love water!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

They do, It’s under renovations…..

[@drewsfoodforest_tv]

I’d love to be on one of your projects

[@EdThePondProfessor]

That would be Great!!!

[@sallyrutledge8238]

Hope you can do it. This is what True Education should be like !!!

[@dewman1996]

How deep will the pools be?

[@Wysdrem]

I love your work, do you know if you have an associate company near cornwall Ontario?

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thank you!!! Yes, We have another office in Ontario, I’m working at the Toronto zoo next week!

Where did you get the pics printed that are over your right shoulder?

[@zoeys290]

Hi i was wondering if the mango tree leaes are toxic to the reptiles as its toxic for horses ?

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Great question! I’m sure it would depend on the species but there’s no issue with any of Kenan’s reptile collection…..

[@godspi4609]

I want to work with you guys

[@charlie_moorcroft]

Nice. I met you at Kenan’s. Have a potential project for you guys. Sent you an Instagram message.
