I've only just seen this documentary and I can 100% agree with you. I shed tears watching it and was absolutely in awe of the photography and filming process. It makes you appreciate the fine woven relationship between flaura and fauna. It was truly wonderful

Me too...when I first saw this film I was overwhelmed with emotions. I sent to everyone I thought would love it...still today I'm watching it again! Marveling at our Creators magnificence.

Other than the fact he lied about being millions of years of evolution no such thing

i cant get a glimse into how many minors you have molested

shut up

I agree! Beautiful!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful, one of a handful of the best documentaries ever, superb photography of our wonderful insect life, excellent commentary, extremely interesting and educative, thank you so much for posting. It also brings back good memories for me of Africa and Kenya. Hakuna ma ta ta.

TRUE

Yes, this documentary is perfectly made!

Absolutely fantastic. We were delighted watching this documentary. Stunning

We serve a mighty Lord God indeed. What all He created in this world, we’ve seen but a fraction.

@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 Yup, & just think of what he has for us after we pass our final exam. Its something to work really hard for.

evolution

So you are saying God is simply not involved ... that nature and all in the universe is a spontaneous act of randomness? Consider that a universe with only random existence would never have order in any part of its members. Gravity would not exist. Solar systems would not exist. Spiraling galaxies would not exist. The elements and their atomic order would not exist. No, I think we may see a pattern of how God develops things in nature and call it evolution. We see God's patterns and order displayed in everything around us. @@nom5205

Yes

Best documentary that I've ever seen.

Can some please recommend something just as spectacular as this documentary?

Absolutely agree. Like a beautiful story you don't want to ever end. Truly exquisite. Heartfelt admiration and gratitude to the creators. Bravo!

The Elephant Queen is wonderful too.

i think we've watched this at least 5 times ... it's excellent!

Thanks this is truly amazing

Truly wonderful and fascinating!

I agree.

used this to teach for 15 years

Yeah. What if the fig wasps forget to pollinate? Do you think that is even possible, or it is in their genes?

@@vedantsridhar8378 I don’t believe they do it knowingly. They are driven merely to reproduce themselves and I think the pollen sticks to their undercarriage and inadvertently gets redeposited in the tree where they lay their eggs and so forth and so on.

@@christinafidance340 I thought something similar. But i found it amazing that they actually 'pack the pollen in special pockets' as the documentary tells. Absolutely amazing. Still its most likely not a conscious act since humans think insects act merely on instinct. I am not sure about that but wont debate it -what do i know-. The wasps wont forget to pollinate tho, In any case the instinct is way to strong to ignore. They simply have no other purpose, choice or idea.

@@christinafidance340 It may be all instinct, driven by genes - but pollination isn't random. The female fig wasp actively takes pollen and fills pollen 'baskets' on her thorax her natal fig - at the next fig 'garden' she digs it out and places it where it will pollinate.

beautiful comment.

@@rosemarykaloki7639 add ''in Kenya'' and still you're not right. There are many others, but they're ignored....

It would be even better in HD. Just imagine...

+Jaygo Tee No. This is no God's work. This is evolution.

@@EarthAngel504 you sound like an idiot

You need to watch it again! You SEE only competition, not the intricate cooperative community which is the real story. A species that "succeeds" too well can destroy the plants and animals upon whom their own lives depend. Humans are like King Midas, who wanted gold so much he prayed that everything he touched would turn to gold. Soon, he starved. Then he inadvertantly turned his daughter into a golden statue. By trying to convert everything into profits for the next quarter, we are killing the goose that laid the golden egg. It will be impossible to replace all the FREE SERVICES THAT NATURE PROVIDES US. Science STILL doesn't even know all the insects and how they maintain a balance with other life forms. Yet we want ALL of every resource, leaving behind only a wasteland. We won't know how much we have destroyed when we kill a keystone species, but the cascading effects over decades will be horrific. If you believe that God created each species, why do you destroy the art He created? To destroy the masterpiece of Nature's intricate web of interdependence is blasphemous!

I grow with this tree 🌳 and i ate the fruit and we made chewing gum lt is the provider of food from human to small microorganisms.

What a wonderful phrase!

Yes I seriously don't understand how can anyone give a dislike for such a great documentary, that I can watch a million times!

People think that figs contain insects but they didnt value the most important thing that these little creature teach us. It's life's purpose and solely performing their true nature.

prolly becuz of the male fig wasp making babys with the unborn female wasps...lol

Lol. Yes! I'll be watching them much more closely from now on.

Yeah 👍..I felt the same way...but truely fascinating documentary ...

*@F*CK tRump* Playing the devil's advocate for a minute.......Trump has his use.......for once in the two(one?) party state that is the U.S. , since the coup of '63 , the U.S. electorate has a *real* choice and will force the "democrats" to be less to the right of the political spectrum ....For decades in essence it didn't make very much difference which of the two allowed political parties occupied the white house ; they both serve "Our Fine Military" first and foremost ,and allowe it to grab the biggest percentage from the people's treasury .....both put "Our Fine Military" on a pedestal, which would cause a scandal in most normal democracies where more than two parties are allowed to function ,and the military is all but invisible like it should be . A west European type labour or social democrat party will never ever be allowed in the nation that proclaims to be the guarantor of democracy ........Why don't we hear most of the main U.S. news media complain about that ? ....because most are in the pockets of far right corporations .

Nothing at all to do with a God. Grow up and leave those childish notions behind. Or do you still believe in Santa?

@Rebecca Farley I'm sorry for missing it, but where does Daniela express a desire to worship the act of creation? I read her words to be an expression of profound respect and of enlightenment of the connections life has shared over millenia, and a lament for man's foolish exploitation and destruction of the Creator's work. She isn't worshiping anything but the Creator by expressing her admiration for His work and the shame of humanity's foolishness. Her amazement lies in observing the Creator's wonder of life in all it's intricacies. See the good before the bad for life is better without negative criticism. Be safe, be happy. :)

@Rebecca Farley your reply was one of the worst and most idiotic things I have EVER read on youtube.

It is protected. In fact, this very tree is considered holy for the people living there.

That blows my mind. In Arabia, it's integral to daily life as a cheap, sweet, affordable snack, but it's great with meat and salad too. I'll bet it's do well in fermentation or pickling. Food stores so long when it's pickled. Is pickling a part of African tradition anywhere on the continent? I've never seen it featured in discussions about food.

Kathryn Smith I don’t think it’s that simple lmao

THEY PUT TINY CAMERAS ON CRICKETS

A doc like this is shot in different parts. The scenes inside the figs are most likely not shot in the figs on the tree but in a sort of lab/studio set up. Which makes it a lot easier to put in the tiny little cameras that in size could compare to the ones used in for example phones.

P.S. when I REWATCH this Extra extraordinary LIFE-GIVER documentary I will have pen and columned paper at hand... listing tree, flower, fig life ... Main Fig-fly life ... and ... the other pop-up MANY - MANY life-forms that make their pilgrimage to this ONE tree (type) during this filming of this specific Queen Tree. At the end, I would still have my eyes bulging as I count the HUGE NUMBER of reciprocates shown within during ONE SEASONING of figs, within the many seasons each tree celebrates. P.S.S.. LOVE the word & phrase: Co-Evolving over Millions of Years together.

For me I must say I have no words left to appreciate this

All beings/races have their own particular 'superior' talents and to ignore that or diminish it is the height of arrogance and ignorance.

kwgrid have you watched Zeitgeist Moving Forward?

@@davidcollegerosemont I am a white person and I think we are the scourge of the planet. I think Christianity probably meant well to begin with but white people decided that they were the only ones that were right and everyone else was wrong. It has been all downhill since. Pretty soon the planet will be so damaged that nothing humans do will be able to save it.

That's a pretty arrogant statement as you can look at everything man has accomplished.
