Examining the nature of the beast.

[@Nikki0417]

It's very minor, but I appreciate listing the animals' names and conservation status when introducing them. It puts into perspective which ones need the most help.

[@whiqeddik7615]

It is not at all minor, it may be mentally instilled to be that, but it is most important to know, that's why it rolls off so naturally when described by mouth. It paints the mental picture to truly appreciate the standings of the animal and humans stance with them

I love these longer videos, and it's great to see that there are some parts of the world where rainforest cover is actually increasing. The ecosystems animals live in are just as fascinating and important as the animals themselves, and Costa Rica's ecosystem is one of this planet's most diverse and beautiful. Thank you so much for making this.

[@biowebtv]

This ecosystem really is incredible. The amount of animals and plants it houses is unsurpassed. It's great to see places like this preserved.

[@fermintenava5911]

They've been doing this for 3 decades by now - even Michael Crichton mentioned their efforts back in the original Jurassic Park-novels.

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Couldn't have said it better myself. 😄👍

[@canfloyd]

I absolutely love when the jaguar looks at the camera at 3:56 after failing to kill the tapir as if to say “you didn’t see that…”

[@adpirtle]

If only every country prized its biodiversity the way Costa Rica does.

[@biowebtv]

The world would be better

[@nerfherder4284]

It does have some serious wealth inequity going on, like top 20 in the world, way ahead of the US, in fact so does Guatemala and the other neighboring countries. So yes everyone protecting biodiversity is great, but not necessarily for the poorest people.

[@madnessends2477]

Sadly the right wing of our country is trying to loosen environmental protections to help hotel chains and other companies instead

[@annamaria9073]

tbf, they only started doing that after biodiversity declined and tourism took a massive hit due to that. Most countries aren't that obviously economically dependent on biodiversity.

[@randydominguez666]

I saw one Tapir at a Zoo in Playa del Carmen about a month ago, the thing was just chilling, sitting under the shadow of a tree but I’d never imagined how colossal they actually are, they are gigantic, and definitely an animal you wouldn’t want to piss off

[@boboboy8189]

Malaysia is the only country outside central/south America that have tapir. but ours is black and white

[@terramater]

So cool! South America has many fantastic species. Our crew managed to film also some curious species in detail, like the leafcutter ants that harvest plants but not for eating or the brave giant otters that are fearless of jaguars or sloths and their dependence on moths!

[@Jc2469.]

Really enjoyed this feature length video! Glad to see so many animals thriving and being diverse in Costa Rica

[@rubidot]

I thought this was going to be about tapirs, and was very confused and irritated that after 4 minutes, the video switched randomly to a completely unrelated animal, and continued to do that every few minutes. I had to look at the comments and restart the video to realize that the actual topic was animals of Costa Rica. That's a great topic. You could have made a title that makes it clear what the topic is. Please, rename this to something like "Amazing Animals of Costa Rica", and then make another video called "Tapirs Are Straight Out Of The Ice Age" that spends 10~30 minutes on tapirs and their fascinating ability to survive through massive climate change.

[@linoacetyd]

Omg I didn't know you were making a video about my country, this is so cool. I have followed your channel for so long HAHA, this video is just great, I love the music you chose and it genuinely shows the praise you have for nature. Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to see more of this type of videos for other countries.

[@biowebtv]

Your country is very special. And we are proud to see that it is home to this incredible forest.

[@76rjackson]

What a nice post to read. Pura Vida, indeed! Ty

[@pamelamays4186]

Not to date myself, but, when I was a kid, my favorite wild life show was Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Animalogic reminds me of that show. Animalogic definitely shows a wide variety of animals, and plants, from all over the world. Danielle and her crew are amazing.

[@dmac1465]

Guys this is unreal, cannot believe the footage you captured, top tier doc, funny tense cute all of it!

[@jhonjeromesatairapan6435]

Thanks for the tour, magnificent wildlife interaction from great country.

[@connorswanson]

Agreed! Gives me early 2000s Animal Planet vibes in the best way

[@lmlmd2714]

I honestly didn't know you were doing long-form content. I love this so much and would *love* to see more of it. The enthusiasm and geeky passion you guys have for life and nature is just infectious and heartwarming.

[@Chaos89P]

Personally, I'd like to see more reforestation efforts. That may be partly due to the fact that I've lived near forests almost all of my life, but there are ecological benefits regardless.

[@orishaeshu1084]

Reforest your own property. No lawns.

[@MossyMozart]

@Chaos89P - One of the benefits of healthy forests is improved air quality. They remove CO2 from the air and give off oxygen.

[@hollyoswald7808]

This is one of your videos that I can see repeatedly because there are so many unique animals, great photography and Danielle’s enthusiastic voice.

[@DracowolfieDen]

Awesome video! I love the longer form. It's also great to hear stories of where environmental efforts are succeeding and making an impact. While it is important to hear about life in danger, it can often feel hopeless, so mixing in videos about what habitats and areas are actually getting better is powerful.

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! 16:46 Look how oddly cute those little guys are, they remind me of when in the old Daffy Duck cartoons he would slick his hair(feathers) back to look suave and they would have little curls at the ends kinda like these birds here. 😆👍

[@Aquacurve80]

I absolutely loved this video. This was truly a wonderful journey through Costa Rica seeing all the wonderful animals and reptiles. My only problem with this video was that it was hard to enjoy it with ads popping up every two minutes. It really takes away from the beauty of the video, but I know that’s nothing you can control. I wish KZbin would tone it down a little bit with ads. I hope to see more videos like this one where you explore countries

[@bigbich4559]

they actually can choose to manually select where ads play, or to let youtube do it automatically. that’s why with some creators like jaime french you’ll see them say something like “it’s time to take a break” and then an ad will play right after. it’s just obviously less revenue when you have less ads

[@biowebtv]

Costa Rica has a rich biodiversity. It is an amazing place on the planet.

A lovely video from the Animalogic team, and Danielle's joy and love is evident. Watching this I couldn't help but wish we could decolonise Costa Rica, remove all signs of human habitation as best as we can and leave it to the animals.

[@kuprum7]

This land, the land of my country, belongs to indigenous people first and foremost. We can't just "remove all signs of human habitation" without further pushing indigenous people out, if that were even possible

Hope u guys were careful down there. About 30yrs ago some genetically modifying animals escaped an island chain off the coast of Costa Rica and fled into the jungle.

[@orishaeshu1084]

Was it you?

[@Darfeyn]

Okay, I was wondering why most of the video felt like déjà vu, because it's actually the 4 "Animalogic Wild" videos from 2019 condensed into 30 minutes (not even sure there's new info). I had watched 3 of them recently, so it's kinda nice to see the 4th now, but could've been more transparent about it by listing the originals in the description (after the "flashback to 2018" line).

Came here for the tapirs, and learned more about literally everything else. You should just call this episode "Animals of Central America." Each animal deserves it's own episode.

[@boboboy8189]

you came come to Malaysia, we also got tapir. we called it tenuk, cipan or badak tampung (patches rhino) because black and white color

[@cantan111]

I read a story once, of a man who was stuck in the jungles in South America.. He saw a Tapir, & it wasnt just a plant eater.. The man Henry watched the animal take & chew poisonous leaves, or a type of neuro toxin that created paralysis amoung the fish in the pond, where the Tapir would then come grab the fish & take them to shore & eat. It was my favorite books, I cannot remember if is was in “Papillon” or his sequel “Banco” by Henry Chereirre (misspelled last name)

I really like this longer video format about a given location, but I hope they have more descriptive titles. Tapirs are cool but I would've clicked on it sooner if I knew it was about many animals. It also makes it a bit confusing since I kept expecting it to go back to tapirs, but it was not about tapirs any more than the other animals shown.

[@boboboy8189]

you can watch Malaysiaan tapir. we the only one that have tapir in Asia. nobody know now they got here. some people speculating, we Malay people use to be sea fairer became part of Polynesian who use boat to seafaring around the world. we might arrived there long before Magellan
