What is everyone's favorite pond that I've built for animals? Bears, otters, bald eagles, koi, snapping turtles, hyenas, and caiman alligators, to name a few.

[@debbiestumm511]

Slinky's enclosure... y'all killed that one!!!❤❤❤

[@blitzen850]

Otters with bear has the highest death rate.

[@GatorMike79]

Caiman Creek at Kenan's

[@HELENGodLoves]

MINKMAN!! Even his kiddos enjoy LoL

[@YochevedDesigns]

LegaSea. Not only is it a gorgeous build, but what y'all did for Brian makes me tear up every time I think about it. You are all really special people.

[@BlakesExoticAnimalRanch]

This pond for the bears is epic

[@726fhd7ywhjjfuudik]

Blake youre a certified animal G

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thank you!

[@diysnapdragn]

The thing that struck me the most, is when the bear was laying there eating his carrot and watching the waterfall. So serene. He looked so relaxed. He's living his best life and you helped make that happen. I hope you get the chance to build wonderful homes for more animals in the future.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

The irony the bears 🐻 and the otters 🦦 were living the Aquascape Lifestyle but you still have a hard time convincing the industry that it’s better than their old swimming pools habitats. 😢

[@boberry66]

Nice virtue signaling. 😂

[@phuntsokdolma]

Would have dearly loved to have seen the bears actually in the new pond.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Me too!!! They’re older Bears and much more apprehensive especially after we altered their habitat.

[@phuntsokdolma]

Of course! I understand now. Thanks for explaining. I know they will absolutely love it once they deem it is safe. So beautifully and thoughtfully created. @@EdThePondProfessor

Burgers zoo in the Netherlands has the largest indoor mangrove ecosystem in the world, with manatees, tropical birds, butterflies, mangroves, and so on. And they also have the largest living indoor coral reef in Northern Europe, which they started 20 years ago and it looks spectacular. They also have an equally impressive colossal shark tank with a variation of sharks, and numerous other tanks with different type of fish ecosystems. And they also have a lot of mammals which all have their own mini ecosystem instead of cages. This guy got a private tour at their facility. The video is called, Dutch Aquarium - #3 Largest Aquarium in The World!! - (Private Tour)

[@KampKenan]

Awesome job as always Ed!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks, Kenan!

[@Causemoi]

Nice, Ed. Would like to see.a follow-up video next year to see how well it holds up and what you would do differently.

[@donzbarker-cross4330]

Wonderful! I hope the bears and otters have many happy years in the ecosystems. Well done team!!😊

[@veronicacharnley2392]

WOW I JAD NO IDEA YOU ALL EXISTED HERE IN FLORIDA JUST A HOPE AND SKIP ACROSS THE POND FOR ME! HOPE WE CAN VISIT YOUR BEAUTIFUL SANCTUARY!

[@silicondave2797]

Hyped for the whistling duck build ! Bear pond is officially open ! Well done.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks Dave!!!

[@elizabethcave7666]

That was terrific. Would have loved to see the otters more, enjoying their new space.

[@LeslieLanagan]

That bear *understood the assignment.*

here from BamaBass's Crimson pond :)

🙏🙏🙏

[@kamilakennedy2686]

Wonderful job on these projects! Your generous contribution is invaluable

[@pamandliv]

I have been waiting for this video to come out! Couldn't wait to see the final results. I knew it would be beautiful and the Bears would love it🐻

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thanks for your patience and support!!!

[@jordanvargovich]

Add some fish to that pond the Bears can do some natural hunting It looks great

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Yes!!!

[@KHeinz_57]

Love going here. It’s 20 minutes from my house.

[@EdThePondProfessor]

That’s Great!!! It’s an incredible facility and organization…..

Great Job, as usual :)

Thanks!!!

Ed wouldn't it be awesome if you and some others go help get the aquarium ready at Brian's place yes there doing OK but maybe check in and see how's it is going

[@christinawyckoff2164]

Love how you love animals and making it perfect for them and people smart man happy to seeing how you make it perfect for all God's bless you 🙏💖

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thank you!!! 🙏

[@kiwikoxo]

haha i love all the people dipping in the pond! One lady only had her head up lol idk that's so funny

[@colleenheitzler8670]

Awesome projects! The bears and the otters!

[@Rockscapes]

Fantastic work on both ponds!

[@roseyrose9467]

Lucky Bears ❤

[@Poseidonponds]

The pond looks amazing! Loved the later part of the video where you compared the traditional ponds to the ecosystem pond, what a difference. I am sure you will be back there to rebuild some of those traditional features. Very cool stuff and super educational, Ed.

[@michellemorningstar880]

Wow Freaking Epic you guys are truly amazing love your pond ..and the bears are truly happy too thanks so very much

[@R3BxFinessaTiapetorG]

Keep growing

They like it❤

[@greenbankreptiles]

Most say us British are as nutz about animals as our brothers and sisters across pond. I probably send a 3rd of my income on mine! Much love and respect to you all!🐢🦎🐍

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Thank you! 🙏

[@LeslieLanagan]

You really know your stuff. I'd like to see you do a zoo build. If that's what you want, I mean. :P

[@MorsCertaMoraIncerta]

I'm concerned on the keeper valve line. It should be 6 ft deep if you want to keep it away from bears. Source- I had them rip up an exhibits sprinkler system at that depth

[@cepontzsons]

I wish we could've made it down for the build............... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Id like to see how its working out, a bear can toss those rocks around like pixie sticks.Should be an interesting test.

[@Blue.Willow7]

Watched this whole video and you didn’t show the bear in the pond. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing that.

[@on.kars5]

where is the hyena and caiman alligator pond ? any links available

[@TheeeCrew]

it’s not one brotha in that pic at the end

[@RBarn2000]

I see no bears

[@alisong2328]

Where are the bears and otters? I wanted to see them in the pond!

[@lucilledelorme]

If I heard that this was a make over up grade for human prisoners I'd be utterly dismayed but for bear cons- yay!

[@adamlyons4982]

Never showed a bear going in the water!

[@jclark2752]

Every time I see something like this I find myself thinking that I hope we are as well treated when we are no longer "intellectually significant"… 🤓

[@Skay24]

19:31 Sorry but it so big animal and so small pond. Why can't you build something bigger that is for this animal size...

[@lizarrrdbeth]

Get a bigger monitor... that pond is huge!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

Great question! This species only goes in the water for small amounts of time, they require more land than water so this is a good size for them and the enclosure….

[@nikiryan8648]

the otters is ALL WRONG. otters like to have a slide, and this water feature has NONE OF THAT> shame

[@Whunter22]

ED MAN YOU TALK TOO MUCH!!!!! I try to support you. But my God you won’t stop talking???? Get to work we need action!!!

[@EdThePondProfessor]

😳

[@Whunter22]

@@EdThePondProfessor I want to see the build. I want to see how it’s done. I don’t want to hear u talk the whole video. Just being honest.

[@annwithaplan9766]

@@Whunter22 - Same here. I came here because of the title and got nothing but talk, talk, talk, and only seconds worth of the bear by the pond. Nice pond, but very disappointed in this video.

[@Whunter22]

@@annwithaplan9766 Yes most of his videos are like that. I can’t watch them. I gave him another chance and it seems that he talks even more now. It’s like having a boring college professor. We want to see some action man.

[@lada3264]

@@Whunter22 yes, I agree, education is so overrated and learning is boring. Who needs the headache of learning by listening to experts talk. Let’s all just look at the pretty pictures 😂
