Dude, I had to sit down in my bed for this, the battle sound made it more intense. I was pulling my hair out and when the crisis averted, I was more relieved than the frog himself.
WASPS! these damned wasps. Bullies of nature. I'll never forgive them.
I especially love how the frog turns over after fighting for his offspring's lives, just to watch the sunset and reflect.
Deep
One must reflect and prepare for another day, the fight is far from over
Definitely not capable of reflecting methinks
I like to think he's looking at the sunset thinking : this some bullshit.
May I stand unshaken?
My man didn’t get entrusted with 4 clutches of eggs for no reason. They knew he was a warrior!
You can tell by those wasp kicking legs
well maybe if the baby mamas weren't at the club all the time they could help. you know, like what a mother is meant to do ffs

Not the Earth or plants though. Wasps are great scavengers, population control for other bugs and pollinators. Some plants like figs even rely on certain species to reproduce.
@Nicolae Ceaușescu ,
If your too stupid to figure it out i can't help you with anything. And now what "role" do they play? They don't pollinate but they eat flowers and spiders that eat mosquitoes and other annoying insects.
So I'd rather have the spider even though the wasp is the evolution of the spider. But excuse me there sir, why did you call me an idiot? Is it the way I play hockey?

@@diobrando5549 magic
@@dionyzus2909 Makes sense.
The complexity of nature is stunning. The way the father frog knows how to defend its eggs and that it will defend many of them by itself shows the power of a parent's instinct to protect. And I especially love how the hatchlings (the oldest) can recognize danger quickly, even when they're still in eggs, and they are able to escape from the predators to the safety of the stream. It's just incredible.
This goes to show that even the most simple-looking creatures are extremely complex and interesting organisms. I love nature.
Let's see how much u love nature once you are the hatchling, being slowly eaten alive by the wasps...
God truly has thought of everything. His creations are amazing.
Nothing this complex can ever happen by chance.

I don't know what it is about parents that would die for their offspring, but it really just brings tears to my eyes
Some of us would do so as well, and it is quite understandable from a parents point of view
When you have kids, they're your creation. You literally made them with somebody else and that makes them special and you would do anything to keep them safe because they are innocent. You're given the responsibility to raise your young to be better than you and it's your job as a parent to keep them safe. You love them more than you've ever loved anything or anyone. You love them enough that their survival is infinitely more important than your own.

True
Animals elbow one another out of the way to be in his videos.
@@ToyotaGuy1971 This comment makes no sense. What do you mean by "patronizing"?
He really said to the older eggs it’s sink or swim
Then again, this species evolved so that the babies an hatch when they’re still premature. They aren’t ready to hatch, but once they’re developed enough that doesn’t matter if they’re attacked. The premature tadpoles hatch early, and do just fine. It’s a pretty clever survival adaptation.

Yeah that's why they have so many babies. Because some are gonna die regardless.

Even us human,when get Sting by a wasp, we already feel the pain. This frog male is the most gentleman and father ever, guarding his eggs.😭
Take the pain of a wasp sting - noting that most wasps over a yellowjacket or common hornet have a sting pain index rating not of 2, but of 3, 3.5 or even *4* (same as the Bullet Ant), and note that we're several hundred thousand times the wasps body mass.
Now imagine if we were 1.5 times the body mass of that wasp.
Yeah. "Agony" probably doesn't even come close. "The source of all pain, torment that transcends the bounds of space and time and makes the suffering of Hell itself seem a mercy by comparison" is probably about it.

Frogs are definitely my favorites...with Attenborough´s legendary narration it is no doubt. I could listen to him all my life
Completely agree about his voice. That and his longevity! I don't know if he's still doing presenting like this, but he's still got a full deck of cards at his age!
100 percent. That man can speak about absolutely nothing and I’d be calm
most of us have listened to him all our life !!!
Yes, at 95 he's still producing and is doing well. I hope he is with us for many more years.
Love how after the frog grabs and flings a wasp, he leaves his middle toe extended. Yeah I’m with you my amphibian brother 🖕🏻Wasps.
But then you watch something captured by these same talented crews about wasps that amazes you and you forget about them being the villains in this video.
@@stephenbuckley9940 True. At the end, they're just trying to survive too anyway.

Nothing like seeing Frogs doing some awesome things from the small screen.
Also wish y'all a great day.
Wasp came in, got a snack and a doggy bag, and called in his friends. Frog came out fighting and swinging. Awesome follow through. Dude can really kick it. Saved the day for many. Was interesting to watch. Great video

Frog : Throws Bruce Lee roundhouse kicks like a boss.

Kicks and slaps wasps*
Wasp: oof
It's amazing to see the complexity and aliveness of such a little frog's life. We often think of animals as these simple creatures that just fumble around and blindly follow their instincts like robots. But this frog clearly shows insight in the situation and embodies various actions that ensure the best outcome, with a bit of luck.
He decides to protect his youngest eggs because the old ones can potentially hatch early and survive. He uses his own body as a distraction. He kicks and punches the wasps away, even reaching behind his back, which is an abnormal movement. You can say "oh but that's just the evolutionary process". But do you look at yourself that way when you overcome a difficult challenge? "No need to congratulate me, that was just this thing called evolution, it got nothing to do with me".
evolution created our brains which are capable of making certain decisions, i don't get your point
Well if we are splitting hairs, EVERYTHING that happens on this planet is a step in evolution. Including your TH-cam comment.
What’s your point? Evolution gave u the intelligence to make decisions
it's the jungle man. you have to step correct 24/7. such an environment would foster such strong levels of competition for predation and survival. would be interesting to see how quickly those jungle animal species evolve over the years. highly specialized species
Everything he does can still be a blind instinct, and it most likely is. He doesn't have to *know* that his body is functioning as a distraction. He doesn't have to know *why* he is sitting where he's sitting, to realise what his body looks like to the wasps from above, which eggs are the youngest ones etc. He probably just has an urge to sit above the the highest batch, without knowing why. The kicking is a self-defence reflex. He certainly didn't invent all of these 'cunning strategies', and he didn't even learn them by observing other frogs. When I overcome a challenge, it's not the exact same challenge and I'm not overcoming it in the exact same way as every other member of my species for millions of years.
I'm always stunned by the power and quality of the microphones they use to catch the sound of a wasp munching
