The cinematography is gorgeous. The close ups, showing so many facets of diverse birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and insects, is often extraordinary. I was fascinated to see solitary people, truly alone, living their daily lives without the chance of a conversation with anyone. However, constant references to Tolkien and his fantasy world got tedious, very fast. Eventually, it was irritating. A completely unnecessary addition. Nature is fantastic enough, without fiction to detract from it.

I spent a month in Cetinje, Montenegro and hiked several trails there. I was amazed at the variety and quantity of butterflies I saw. Locals also let their horses walk themselves along the trails... with no fear they will be hurt, or stolen, or not come home.

14:00 "when they were finished, nothing was left behind" This is supposed to invoke fear into our hearts... Imagine if wolves went about killing and only ate a part of it, leaving the rest to rot. Now, imagine if they were the dominant species on the planet ... Perhaps 7.9 billion of them? And, most of them kill to only eat part of it, trashing the rest... Does that invoke fear? (See what I did there 😌) Can't demonize wolves but turn a blind eye to our own feeding habits.

By waiting for a very long time. Usualy it takes a few years to film a 1 hour documentary. Its not like just going into the woods and start filming. You need a spetialist who shows you the best places for a specific animal and then you wait and wait and wait. But sometimes they also stage some shots. Somebody finds a rare animal, brings it to the team and then they put it into a good place for filming...and so on.

Very nice documentary, I found one part ironic, toward the end, after explaining how the European Mink is being badly effected by the introduced American Mink, shortly after this they pan to that amazing flock of countless 1000s of European Starlings, which happens to be one of the most prolific and damaging introduced birds to America!

North Macedonia is also geographically correct designation. For an example the valley of Pelagonia is not a natural border with Greece, therefore you should not be surprised if there are ancient Greek artifacts in the region.

Macedonia = GREECE ? How sure are you about this equality? This is like you are trying to say, borders of ancient Macedonia are equally the borders of GREECE??? In claims like this, connecting present with distant past/future... there are way more possibilities than you think. mind-blowing possibilities. The sites might be thousands of years older.
