      2000: I watched a pack of painted wolves (African wild dogs) at their den with a litter of pups on one of Africam's cameras, and felt awe that I could do that from my own living room.
      I still firmly believe the Internet is a blessing. All the social media, hate groups, and corporate domination and advertising in the world haven't changed my mind.
      "There is coming into being a kind of Internet of Animals, whatever that means. Better perhaps to say they are citizens now, and have citizens’ rights, and therefore a census is being taken. Watersheds upstream from cities are adopted by urban dwellers who observe their fellow citizens from afar, along with making occasional visits in person. Wild animals’ lives and deaths are being noted by people. They mean something, they are part of a meaning. Not since the Paleolithic have animals meant so much to humans, been regarded so closely and fondly by we their cousins."

So they compile different clips that they have filmed to tell a story of what would have happened when a documentary isn't filmed. Occasionally, if they can't film what happens in the wild they'll film it in zoos, animal sanctuaries, national/federal parks, greenhouses, botanical gardens, or a special studio for smaller animals and/or plants.

    - The owl blinks one eye at a time to avoid ever losing sight of its target. So owls are smarter than people in _Doctor Who._
    - Videos like these are great, but they always make me wonder how fake they are. I mean, how the HECK do they get these shots? How do you get a shot of a weasel running TOWARDS the camera in a tiny hole? How do you get shots of the owl lunging towards the vole as well as the vole escaping at the same time? How do you know what's going to happen in order to arrange cameras in all the right places to get shots of the event from multiple angles? As fascinating as these are, I'm certain they're fake, at least fake like reality-shows. They might really have happened, but what we're seeing isn't the actual event, but a reenactment or footage that's stitched together from multiple events to recreate the event. Still, nature-photography is the most impressive photography of all and renders zoos obsolete. Who needs or even wants to see poor animals locked up in cages, bored and listless, waiting for their next meal, when you can watch these instead?

    • @stephenfennell
      @stephenfennell ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the vole is in a glass-sided cage. Some of its tunnels come up to the glass, so they can film the vole as it moves around its tunnels. The owl claw at 2:37 can be a claw from a stuffed owl that someone plunges in in front of the camera, inside the glass cage.
      You can play the video one frame at a time if you're using a keyboard, by pausing the video and then pressing fullstop ("period" in America) to go forward one frame, or comma to go back one frame. That way you can see that the owl's claw doesn't close at all, which I think proves it is not a real live owl.
