Fighting to preserve ugly species | DW Documentary

[@ShyFirefly]

These animals are not ugly to me, Olms are beautiful animals, they look like wee dragons to me. It's great to see these wonderful people trying to save animals that otherwise may be forgotten. I love the weird, and wonderful too. Thank you ♥️

[@jaex9617]

I agree!

Yes, we deserve to be saved. Ty DW

Thank you DW. Takes courage and a set of great hearts to put these unpopular ideas forward! Authentic!

These interesting salamanders live in their native habitat on the adriatic coast (coast of Croatia and Slovenia) and usually dwell in super dark, cold and moist caves. In these regions they are called "human fish", although they are neither human-like, nor fish-like.

In Bosnia also

[@scottywills124]

@@abvideoactive You sure thats the same ones? They must vary in sub species no?

[@RikodiusRex]

I don't know how people dont find them cute

[@scottywills124]

@@RikodiusRex Me neither. Maybe Germans have a different perspective for what they think is considered "cute".

This for me is the amazing side of humanity! Those who seek to preserve & protect nature. It's a wonderful thing to extend this to tge smaller lesser known species

[@TheGrace020]

Love stuff like this! Its so important thanks DW for showing and making this :D

[@detlefschnepel2237]

Fascinating documentary ! Thank you very much !

Nothing in creation is ugly

[@scottywills124]

Stop shining lights at it and maybe they can relax and get more comfertable to mate. You can clearly see the Flashlights are still causing a flight response even though the animal is blind.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder

[@faith6978]

Ugly is perspective

[@fredziffle447]

ugly will never wash away since it lives inside the soul - outward appearance has nothing to do with one's worth

[@faith5563]

So true. What a beautiful 4 legged albino creature. Similar on appearance to the (legless) albino walking catfish.

[@lancesay]

these scientists are heroes in my book!

[@akira9900]

what a majestic creature, it´s like a small dragon.

[@shqip_sumejja]

Ugly is subjective but tradition has seen this as supernatural evil.. olms are a unique balkan animal, I love them

[@maureendrozda9960]

ALL LIFE MATTERS!!! OR IT WOULDN'T BE HERE!

[@Richard-zc1cj]

Ohms looks like the stage of a tadpole right before he loses his tail. After that a tadpole turns into a frog. Maybe in another million years or two ohms will be a land animal.

[@mohsenal-sraimi3371]

We thank you for this wonderful content and we hope it will be translated into Arabic

[@SlickMajic]

Probably not helping but disturbing them so much if they’re 80 years old

[@leonidavkhimenko2339]

Thanks again !

[@m1tche11one]

I don’t really see the point in caring about a weird salamander in a cave, stop messing with them and shining lights in their eyes that’s never seen light, and maybe they could recover? Let’s save animals that actually matter for humans like honey bees, or just work on saving ourselves? “The creatures hate bright lights” they have the whole cave lit up shining spot lights under all the rocks like idiots

[@SoYouSow.SoYouReap]

neonicotinoid's documentary is missing. I can't find it anymore. Why?

[@Sam-ht4og]

Olms look real cute tho

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

A wonderful biological science documentary about ( ugliness) creature's...DW channel always sharing scientific outlook,enlightenment..thanks for sharing....all living creature's are having importance presences in their ownership ecosystems...they are not ugliness.....appearance..

[@mightybondgayming5330]

I think a good definition of an ugly animal would be.. if it looks or resembles human features... Just like when we call another human ugly...

[@ReginaJune]

ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars was too obscure? 😂

[@BeigeRot]

Um..axolotls aren't ugly 😤

[@tude17]

...they kind of are, just a little

[@Ddub1083]

not an axolotl... olm is a different animal, they arent even closely related.

[@arbaz79]

Great documentary by DW regarding conversation of species which we don't even talk about because of how ugly or creepy they look.Tho Olms look really cute.

[@moonlightsky4840]

Aaaaand what is ugly about them exactly?

[@EchoDot-dj9qz]

Animals are here by design we are profoundly ignorant in understanding what actually matters in the ecosystem rather than focused on abstract profits. Let the sad panda go they don't even want to be here anymore.

Don't take them out of the water!! It turns red and calls itself Mushu from Mulan🤪

Humans r the only species growing so faster........

[@nelliethursday1812]

Now if ugly must be used it should be applied to human behavior that is going on all over the earth

look up the variety of mulberry species. Where I am from, they are red and short. I was astonished to learn in Afghanistan of mulberries that are long and differently colored.

[@extremepsyche3135]

you mean an amphibian?

[@oatbelly8195]

Ugly is subjective especially when it comes to animals, i prefer to use words like unique features to describe animals, Humans are ugly though lol

[@mightybondgayming5330]

Ok

[@elliot8967]

Blowfish look nothing like that in their natural environment 2,000 or 4,000 feet below sea level. Without that high pressure environment they swell up. It's a horrible photo and it should not be representativeof the species. It isn't ugly It's tortured and about to die.
