Seriously, they probably got some antifreeze in their blood
Anyone else is amazed at how they are able to get this footage? Thank you for enlightening us and for your tireless, hard work.

Frogs Race For Love | Planet Earth III | BBC Earth 23.11.23 2306pm maybe it's tired old contrived set scene which is a mainstay of BBC natural history productions... i thought they'd given that kindda caper up....(?) i was amazed by their attitude to the cold and snow capped environment.
It's likely mostly fake, most animal documentaries are. As in the animals are real but they're put in sets, it's not the wild. The "stories" are also mostly fake, it's probably not the same frog in each scene.
Oh, and all the noises are always 100% fake
@@FrostedCreationsyou are fake and so is your comment
"It's time to wake up" *suspenseful music plays* 😂
Me late for work
Unbelievable filming skills. Mindblowing!
David Attenborough just makes these episodes even better!!! He is so witty. 😂
Here you go 🙄
There's nothing for it, but to... He is so old school English! 😊
he's like Biden, been dead 10 years, these days they AI his voice. No-one's noticed that a bloke who was already mature in the 1970s seems to be living forever.
first crabs teach me how to find love and now frogs ! i can't handle this much knowledge !
@maxcockallen welcome to the club !
That smile at the end, he's satisfied and content
He really did a heart with his slippery fingers
When art imitates nature
Cgi
Remember they have a sound guy who has to edit in all the squishy noises and who probably had to listen to/make hours of slurping sloppy noises to chose the right ones for a frog s*x scene🐸
Thanks BBC
French culture is so beautiful ❤❤❤
Yes
One day I came to France.
😂❤
The French hate you, and anyone else that isn't French
So beautiful 😅
Frog is french?
Must be nice to find love and affection ❤️
You must be a wildebeest, shits easy to find my g.
@@sage1682 Bet they have heard after pre mating fighting
It is pure lust
@@seansingh4421 Police station?
@@sage1682i think not
LOL and we all lived happily ever after
btw isn't it amazing how many camera angles they have!? even in the tunnel
✌🤓
Yeah, it's clearly all scripted, they're all in on it
Dude ikr... Anglo Saxons are even deceitful in their NATURE DOCUMENTARIES lol. I am a Kiwi, I can say that... Also Spanish (bicultural)... Many European nature documentaries actually have better stories but it's all real!! Great example, this beautiful french nature documrntary about Orcas in the Southern Ocean:
@@Huia87 how is this deceitful??
No shrinkage concerns due to cold weather lol 😂😊😅
"Another latecomer". Literally.
I nominate this series, The Best Documentary Series Ever. It's that big. Not to mention the story line, the film, the contrast, the drama, the hours... years. like fine wine that just gets better by age. Thank you guys for one more.
The fact that there are frogs in those places is just insane.
They will show for all but Humans😅😂
And then a dozen of them got stacked on top of each other.
You would think that moving across the snow would shut them down. I guess the sun and the urge to mate are enough to keep them warm.
i mean same goes to humans hehe
Frogs: I feel a burning hot passion in muh loinsss
@@Kwint.But we wear clothes to protect us from the cold and are warm blooded🤔
i meant that the urge to mate keeps me warm @@NyanyiC
@@NyanyiCyou ever seen the ladies goin to the club in the middle of winter still wearing short skirts? yeah no we def do frog stuff
The music while he was "wrestling" was so goofy lmao
Cameraman is true professional. High quality footage
It's remarkable to have this footage...I love David Attenborough!
Sometimes being late can pay off... Really good cinematic photography and well narrated by David Attenborough
Slip through the fingers script was amazing
3:01 😭♥️
so cute
He's literally held her so she can't get away and he can breed her. Yall calling it cute 😭
On one hand, it looks like they're romantically swimming together, but, on the other, it looks like he dragged the female and is drowning her.
That is very common especially when mating balls happen, you might get 10-30males swarming a female and she drowns... But they don't care they just squeeze the eggs out of her body when that happens 😅 Certainly not as romantic as it seems 😅
Can't frogs breathe underwater? She won't drown
@@harimauindia5775 "It looks.."
Yes they can "breath" underwater but too an extent.
They breath air but also supplement gas exchange by doing it through their skin (CO2 diffuses from the blood to their surroundings and O2 from the air/water diffuse into their blood).
But for most species they still need to breath air when they're "active" as in both physically active but also when their metabolism is active. As they have higher oxygen requirements.
So when in an active part of the year this just prolongs the time they can spend underwater not mean they can stay under indefinitely. And normally this is when avoiding predators, they'll dive/swim quickly in a short burst then remain motionless.
A female constantly in motion due to being piled up on by makes will need more oxygen then the passive diffusion through her skin can provide and if she can't break free will drown pretty quickly.
Plus certain species or the same species but at different life stages can't swim well so will panick if in water where they can't touch the bottom so frantically try to get out which will result in them getting exhausted and drowning if they can't get out. Including the species in the video especially females. Outside the few weeks of the breeding season they actually aren't good swimmers. They'll still dive into water to escape predators but will straight away head for cover in the shallows some distance away so they can cling to the plants to hide with their head above the waters surface. If they dive into an exposed water body with steep sides within a few seconds of diving into the water the females go into panic mode trying to scramble out.
Same thing for a lot of newts and salamanders of both sets but more dramatic, as species that have a yearly terrestrial - aquatic - terrestrial cycle for the breeding age adults when in the breeding aquatic stage they have a slimy skin and are very efficient swimmers even hunting under water and a lot of males develop dramatic fins. You put the same individual in water deeper then a couple inches with no way out when it's in the terrestrial part of the year and they'll drown very quickly. A lot of newts develop a hydrophobic skin when in the terrestrial phase outside the breeding season to conservative moisture better. Problem is it makes them float but once their tired and are just bobing about their main body floats more having more surface area forcing their faces below the water and then drown quickly.
Only times when you have frogs that can be fully aquatic and don't need to breath are either species specificity evolved for this or species that brumate (kinda like hibernation for reptiles & amphibians but there are some big differences) under water. Again like what the species in this video can with the males. The males will either brumate on land like the individuals shown in this video but other individuals of this same species will go into ponds and spend the whole winter under water even under ice (you can have some males doing it on land and some in the water within the same population).
But they can spend the winter underwater by breathing through their skin because the water is so cold and they're not very physically active and their metabolism has slowed right down meaning they don't need a lot of water.
Males from the species in the video that over winter underwater will sometimes go on the tip toes and sway side to slide slowly if they need more oxygen, as it increases water flow over the skin.
When you look at other species which are fully aquatic and don't breath air at all they're from very cold typically high altitude lakes and have adaptions like big skin folds/wrinkly skin to increase their surface area and have slower metabolisms and generally slower to move around.
On the flip side it's why when you see truly fully aquatic species from more tropical/temperate climates (like African Clawed frogs) rather then having a slower metabolism and larger surface areas to completely breath through their skin they instead opt for a more streamlined body, faster metabolisms, and being capable of having higher bursts of speed because they live in a ln environment with more pressure as their pray is faster and more reactive that they got to catch, there's more predators trying to eat them and there is less oxygen in the water as it's warmer. So they opt for that but as a trade off they still have to breath air, granted not as frequently as terrestrial species, so there is the risk of drowning. Though there's less risk of drowning as they're obviously more adapted for swimming.
Short version is yes some species can fully breath underwater but most can't including most fully aquatic species. Most can "breath" underwater to an extent but still need air and are at risk of drowning.
Though some terrestrial species can spend the whole winter underwater (like the males of the ones in the video) though that's because they're metabolism has slowed right down and they don't move a lot/when they do very slowly.
Obviously the males showcased in the video didn't but as I pointed out in my long comment some individual males from this species do spend the whole winter underwater and some individuals don't even if from the same population (like even different siblings might do it differently or the same individual male might switch it up from year to year).
Will add I'm not talking out of my ass I used to be an Ecologist specifically working with European Reptiles & Amphibians which included me working a lot with the specific species shown in this video 😅

Cool! I was thinking that very same thing
Beautiful writing
I’m stunned! There are frogs in snow?..!

Spring has come in French Alps 🌿🥀🍃🌷🌿
Frogs is healthy, active and passionate.Nice🐸
I love wonderful country French Alps. Thank you BBC earth video, crew team work is excellent, Thank you🌎️🤗
How is that shot... Astonishing !
1:56 the story of my life, bro.
Some times late can be payoff..I liked it.😊
Creating a story with the captured footage is amazing. I always wanted to know how they do it. Is it the story first, then the shots follows? Or is it "get as many shots possible", then make a story from it?
well they probably have a good idea of the behavior of the animal already and then just gotta be there to get the shots... I am sure it takes weeks to get some good video without disrupting them too much !!
@@YesItsReallyKeithyeah I agree. They have a good idea of animal behaviours and once they have footage; they make a nice end to end story with it.
Abortion is never the answer
I guess it was like Mark Rober’s style. Shots then story.
Lovers 🐸😅
You are slippery and you are mine👍💖❤️💕...
BBC earth have got one thing that the other channels don't have, "Sir David Attenborough "
Thanks for trying to save the frogs, save the herbatology world, life is precious. Amen
The voice is Soo sweet for nature...love from kenya
I just learned something today😮 I had no clue frogs could survive in the snow!😅
Frogs are better than me, at least they havent found love once in 22 years 😂😅
The cinematography is par excellence !
Did not need to see the frog pulsing at the end! Lmao!
Perfectly captured ❤❤❤
I guess that's too much internet for one day. 😂😂😂😂
Just amazing. BBC is just so incredible.THANKS . THANKS . THANKS.

It's hard to tell if the love is consent.
Nice upload as usual, but.. there's no need for a 10 seconds preview on a 3 mins video..
TIL frogs can survive in cold climates. For those who already knew this, you're probably like, "well, duh?" But, for me, this is like learning pandas live on the moon. My entire concept of frogs has been shattered.
This is a different comment I put as a reply to a lady but figured you'd probably find it interesting to read (for context she was saying she was shocked to learn frogs hibernate as she thought it was only mammals that could. So this comment is just giving a condensed run down of how different types of animals do it/how it works for them including for frogs).
"Yeah most small animals (other then birds) in climates with extreme seasons (either cold or heat/drought) that can't migrate do some form of hibernation.
In the context of below freezing temperatures.
Fresh water fish go into torpor. They go to deeper water and go through periods of slowing their metabolism right down to conserve energy but then will boost their metabolism for short periods of time to (it's a cycle with each stage typically lasting for a few hours before switching to the other stage). So they still eat but just a lot less, and when in the decreased metabolism stage they're virtually dormant for those hours.
Terrestrial (land) invertebrates do Diapause which basically puts them in suspended animation (like how Fry from Futurama gets frozen). Some species produce "anti freeze" around important organs and let less important/delicate parts freeze (I'll mention more about this when talking about some frog species). Others do what's called Supercooling. It's weird but to keep it simple before the temperatures get below freezing they change the properties of their body fluids so it's freezing point is lower then say it is in the summer. It's like how water doesn't always freeze at freezing point. If you change it's properties it will still stay a liquid even if it's in the -C.
Some invertebrates also have high concentrations of salt in their bodies to prevent freezing.
Reptiles & Amphibians (like these frogs) do Brumation.
It's like the middle between hibernation & torpor. It's more closer to Torpor but rather then working on a daily cycle (animals going through certain parts of the day with their metabolism slowed right down and other parts it's boosted) the decreased metabolism part of the cycle can last for weeks or months at a time. But it's different from hibernation as they stay semi conscious so can react very quickly to temperature changes. So if one day say a month after it first went in it's den for winter the temperature suddenly gets a lot lower then normal (like say -5c to -15c or 23f to 5f in the space of a few hours) and so the frost line suddenly starts to get deeper in the soil despite being "asleep" they can sense it and dig down deeper before the frost reaches their den. If the next day it goes back to -5c or 23f then they'll dig back up to the same depth they were at before. Also if it suddenly warms up for a few hours they can come up to the surface, bask and boost their metabolism then dig back down and go dormant again if it gets colder again a few hour or days later. It's why sometimes you'll find snakes basking in a unusually warmer day in January but then they vanish again as soon as the temperatures get colder again or aquatic turtles brumating underneath the ice in the water coming to the bottom of the ice to bask in the light that gets through the ice or even start mating even if there's still a fully solid sheet of ice over the pond, some species "breath" through their "butts". They have a membrane around their cloaca (aka their butt but along side using it to poop they also pee out of it, lay eggs out of it or push their penis out through it and insert it into the females cloaca) which allows oxygen to diffuse from the water into their blood and CO2 to diffuse from their blood out into the water. And some species, the the ones I have in my pond that freezes in the winter, do this but with membranes in their throat, mouth & tongue.
Not all but a lot of frogs also do this spending the winter in water under the ice. Though they don't bury themselves and often slowly swim about as they need their skin exposed to the water as they do the same as I said about the aquatic turtles but all the skin on their body.
So yeah they typically don't go fully unconscious so they can react to sudden changes in the environment but also predators, it's why if you dig them up when dormant in most cases they can still quickly react ie run away or bite.
Only exceptions I can think of are the frog species that literally freeze themselves. They're still quick to react to environmental changes but not to predators, ice crystals form in the cells of none essential body parts like in the skin, body cavity, muscles (if I remember correctly for Wood frogs up to 65% of their bodies freeze solid) but they produce high concentrations of glucose in their organs so it works like anti freeze. Though they stop breathing and their heart stops beating once it's warmed up enough that the frozen parts if their body defrost they can then wake up quickly and start hopping around."
Most frogs live in much warmer climates which makes this one even weirder. This could be expected from some salamanders that live almost as far north as the Arctic Circle but yeah frogs are typically pictured as swamp or forest dwellers.
Fantástico 👍🏻👏🏼💓‼️

I did not expect to see frogs walking over snow.
How bbc capturing these can't understand... Love to watch bbc earth regularly....
Thanks BBC earth 👍
Finally, the gene pool
When male frogs do it, it's perfectly fine. When human males do it, they go to jail.
@@loveistheanswer5924 I only mean that in the video, it's male frogs' nature to just get on top of a female and start breeding with her. A human guy would obviously be a rapist for aggressively throwing himself on a girl like like, sexual assaulting her, so yeah he'd go to jail.
What's the punishment for that in Germany?
Nice documentary ❤
BBC 💚professional cameraman💙
There are Michael's angels and lonely angels too.🐸👼
Sir David Attenborough makes this even more entretaining 😆

I think one of the frog was the camera man. Thats the reason he has got so close to that intimate scene.

That's warm weather for the Alps...
Amazing❤
what a wholesome lovestory
just like titanic👌
Morning Wood ignores weather conditions.
nice ❤
wow
now I know where the term Frenchie Frog comes from.
Actually, no. It is a British slur because the frog legs is a French delicacy. Although another slur the Brits had (especially in the 19th and earlier 20th centuries) is that the French and the Italians were the overlibidoed European races
Ah, intraspecific competition at its finest
I didnt know that frogs hibernates. I thought it was just land mammals
