The BESIEBER - Animals & Nature | by prof Drock I use a Canon SX50 HS for most of my videos. It has an amazing built-in macro capacity, as well as 50x optical magnification.
I remember back when I was about 7 years old, I discovered some tadpoles in our pond so I decided to watch them grow. I got a sand bucket a scooped some out only for all of them to die. It wasn't until I was older before I realized that you need to feed them. I was not a smart child
Same thing happened to me; I thought they didnt have to feed until they became frogs and one day I just woke up to the poor tadpole floating inert. I wish adults stopped me but they just left me to learn a bitter lesson on the fragility of life lmao.
I fed mine fish food when i was a kid they grew pretty fast. My problem was I didn't know I had more than 1 type of frog, the bullfrog ate all the others =/
I use to bring a plastic cup and fill my cup with these animals i thought were "fishies" until my mom told me they were frogs and i was horrified after that 😂😂😂
I used this video in our Cub Scout Den. I had a hard time finding a complete metamorphosis video that wasn't cartoons or simplistic. I especially appreciate the attention to the cell division and locating the internal organs. Thank you for sharing this informative and well produced video.
+jdthorne96 Thanks for sharing my video with your Cub Scout Den. It's so important that young people learn about nature. It will be their job to protect nature for the next generation. DYB, DYB, DYB.
Very high quality images and video. Thank you for sharing this. Is it okay to dump the premature frogs in the pond like that or am I just being too sensitive? Lol.
I remember having a small pond with a batch of tadpoles on the way to school when I was younger. Always looked after their growth each day and gave them bits of food every now and then. A while later after each was growing big, only some frogs remained at the pond, then hopped away. I was never so happy so see little frogs growing up.
I really enjoyed this. What I found the most interesting was the fact that frogs start off as herbivores! I had no idea polliwogs only ate vegetation. The fact that frogs are such voracious carnivores as adults, I would have assumed they ate other animals as tadpoles as well! Much like dragonflies or other animals that go through a metamorphosis, they start out as carnivores, so I just assumed the same for frogs. Maybe amphibians are different than insects. Nevertheless, VERY INTERESTING!
Nathan, thank you so much for this clear and helpful video. I've got hundreds of frog eggs starting to hatch in my little whisky barrel water feature, and this video helps me know what to expect and how to care for these little guys. Awesome!
You make it look so dang easy! I've been struggling to keep mine alive. Everything seems to go well until they reach a ceryian stage, before their back legs form and they die. I've tried quite a bit of alterations, from more/less sunlight, plants, spring water, etc.and unless it's just the type of tadpoles I have that are just hard to keep alive, in doing something wrong and I'm frustrated. It would be great if I from all of this could manage to get at least ONE adult frog ... tips welcomed
Just sat and watched this with my 6 year old. She thought it was great. The extra details we could see such as the heart beating meant she was glued! Thank you for the work you've done!
thank you for your video, I vaguely remember learning this in elementary school but not so in depth. I just acquired a little frog, there was a spawn nearby and I saved a bunch of them from drying out in the apartment hallway. I hope I can keep this last one for a while!
I found a ton of tadpoles at a local creek...there have to be hundreds if not thousands of them, they must have just hatched...I am afraid that not even one will make it to be a frog though. I kind of want to take some home and make sure they develop but I don't know if this is the right thing to do. It kind of feels like you are interfering with nature.
surgeyX you can actully do that if your search online and get the proper things, dont worry its not expensive most of the things to have tadpoles to grow.and realease the froglets when their tail falls off you woukdnt be intefering you would be helping, 1 out of 400 tadpoles surivie and grow into frogs
Unfortunately, it rained really really hard, and when I went back again, they were all gone except for 10-20 :( Decided to leave them be, hopefully this year when I come back for Summer there will be tons of new froggies to see!
Great video! I loved the quality, and all the intriguing shots. Thanks for including the 'day count' and all the extra informative details. All the photography was amazing and I find it helpful that you also include some tips on how to raise them as well. Keep up this work dude!
4:44 awe!!!! So damn cute! lol. But in all seriousness, this is a wonderful video. Great visuals and also very informative. Thank you for uploading :).
Bro you have some great vids about the frogs I rather watch your vids even tho no specific explanation than cartoons . The evolution of the frogs are really satisfying. KEEP UP MY FRIEND
+Cee Sem Soon Sorry, but it's hard to say anything without knowing the exact conditions in your aquarium. Sometimes water chemistry gets out of balance, viruses or bacteria can proliferate, oxygen levels can drop, etc.
+Cee Sem Soon did you use tap water? I heard using water with chlorine in it is bad for frogs, so use either rain water or water from their creek/pond.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like that would pointed out things. For example when the front legs were still inside the tadpole. My children and I enjoyed this video.
Aww tadpoles always make me smile, they're just too cute. Thank you for giving these guys a safe place to grow up during the most vulnerable time of their lives
just remembered of my childhood when I was playing with these on the river side...damn, what days, what memories. These kids nowadays don't have such beautiful things to live
They are truly remarkable. any Christian who is still convinced evolution is a myth should watch this. How else does an animal who can live entirely underwater during its adolescence, then climb out and breath air?
Thanks for the very cool video! My kids and I loved learning about the early development of frogs! Especially, my four year old daughter. She was having a hard time connecting tadpoles to frogs but your video was great in showing the transition
It's kind of weird how as babies they're herbivores but as they mature into frogs they become carnivores? I wonder why they'd evolve to have such radical shifts in diet at different stages in their life cycle, and what survival benefit this would give them?
Tadpoles are omnivorous, they aren't capable of predation but will consume carrion and other animal matter such as eggs if they find it. Animal protein is very useful for their development.
Great video! Found it while researching the discovery of black eggs in my kiddie pool. Already have some two week old tadpoles developing and have put rocks and plants in the water for food and climbing, when they're ready. First time nurturing these guys. Almost threw them out with the water until I got a closer look! ;-)
I saw a bunch of tiny frogs by the back door hopping around at Home Depot! I got a paper cup and picked up some that I could catch and went down to the creek close to my house and let them go. They were so cute!

I was expecting a timelapse but your format was much more informative and we get some nice close-ups! Great stuff!
+Ariel Bruce exactly
Same here
I Agree
Ariel Bruce I agree
good i wasn't the only 1 this video is better than expected
nice and calm video without any music, i like it
Damn so i am back looking at tadpoles again i guess😅
When the tadpole said "•¤•"
I really felt that
nice video
·¤·

nice video
This is gift fru😊😊😎😎🔦
I used this video for my project and I got the highest score in my class.thanks👌🏻😘😌😀😘🙂😇
Nice 👍
Really me tooooooo😍😍❤
Good job!😊
i feel like a mother watching her children grow up
😀😀😀
Yes, hahahaha. They are so cute and their transformation were incredible.

Wow, your images are amazing, All thumbs up!
What camera do you have and did you use a macro lens?

NatureNorth Wow, it shows! You have the best tadpole vid that I watched so far... Have a nice weekend! ;)
I remember back when I was about 7 years old, I discovered some tadpoles in our pond so I decided to watch them grow. I got a sand bucket a scooped some out only for all of them to die.
It wasn't until I was older before I realized that you need to feed them. I was not a smart child

I used to watch them, but couldn't understand how they became frogs. Never saw one with legs until now.
Aaaa I did the exact same thing when I was little. Poor little me was devastated 😭
I fed mine fish food when i was a kid they grew pretty fast. My problem was I didn't know I had more than 1 type of frog, the bullfrog ate all the others =/
this is funny-
That blew my 4 year olds mind. Thanks!
+Wes E My 4 year old was speechless lol, a rare thing indeed!
I use to bring a plastic cup and fill my cup with these animals i thought were "fishies" until my mom told me they were frogs and i was horrified after that 😂😂😂
Same
that happened to me except i wanted to see them grow but my mom threw em:(
Nice sharing! I have completed capturing the life cycle of Indian bull frog from eggs to froglets. It take about 40 days.
I really want to do this but I wouldn't be prepared to let them go.
this is me I always have a bug or something and I just wanna keep it forever but then I have to let it go because it doesn’t belong in my house :(
I raised tadpoles since u made this comment and I’m still keeping them
I raised a batch of tadpoles last year, releasing them was difficult, but now I get to hear them sing at night.
my 5-year-old sister loved this
Lol we look like tadpoles in the womb before we begin to develop our heads 😂
lol true
XD this made my day hahaha
but we're not frog species.
and it reminds me of a frog turning into a prince in a fairy tail
The little white critters swimming about are a type of Copepod, commonly known as "Cyclops".
nice one dude keep up that good work :) (y)
Thanks for the information!!
Nice video keep it up
NatureNorth nice i can use this for my school work on frogs
I was reading comments hoping you’d say! Thank you for a wonderful educational resource for my kids!
wow. loved this up-close video. perfect for in-classroom use. very interesting. thanks for making this video.
You are doing a great job . well done 👍
I've never heard a word as cute as "froglet"
I remember in my 6th grade we had a small fish pond that was overrun by tadpoles. A few months later, well...
I used this video in our Cub Scout Den. I had a hard time finding a complete metamorphosis video that wasn't cartoons or simplistic. I especially appreciate the attention to the cell division and locating the internal organs. Thank you for sharing this informative and well produced video.

good job man... you help my homework fast...🖒🖒🖒🖒
Very high quality images and video. Thank you for sharing this.
Is it okay to dump the premature frogs in the pond like that or am I just being too sensitive? Lol.
very Nice little video. It seems like you've put a lot of efforts into this project.
Imagine how terrifying it would be to internally grow arms that eventually break through your skin.....
Puberty was not a problem for me, that one froglet matured way faster than his buddies.
Lol
Oh i am a fish nope I am a frog
I remember having a small pond with a batch of tadpoles on the way to school when I was younger. Always looked after their growth each day and gave them bits of food every now and then. A while later after each was growing big, only some frogs remained at the pond, then hopped away.
I was never so happy so see little frogs growing up.
My 4yr old ask a lot of questions and thank god i found this.!!🙌🏻

Nevertheless, VERY INTERESTING!
Polliwogs? Is polliwog an actual term in real life? I watched Pokemon as a kid, i am pretty sure there was a tadpole Pokemon named POLLIWAG.
Nathan, thank you so much for this clear and helpful video. I've got hundreds of frog eggs starting to hatch in my little whisky barrel water feature, and this video helps me know what to expect and how to care for these little guys. Awesome!
one of the reasons why I love fckng science and biology ... great video sir ..
i appreciated your hardwork sir this is incredible
“The tadpoles are very active and feed aggressively on the bits of lettuce.” I love that lmao
nice documentation
I found this on my recommendation, and it’s worth to learn and watch xP
I find it great that you rekease them immediately after thei envolved!!!
Some people just take them so they eventually die which actually is abuse!
You make it look so dang easy! I've been struggling to keep mine alive. Everything seems to go well until they reach a ceryian stage, before their back legs form and they die. I've tried quite a bit of alterations, from more/less sunlight, plants, spring water, etc.and unless it's just the type of tadpoles I have that are just hard to keep alive, in doing something wrong and I'm frustrated. It would be great if I from all of this could manage to get at least ONE adult frog ... tips welcomed
Sounds like a disease or parasite problem. Try disinfecting your aquarium with vinegar and get eggs from another source. Hope this helps.
Just sat and watched this with my 6 year old. She thought it was great. The extra details we could see such as the heart beating meant she was glued! Thank you for the work you've done!
Thanks for the video. My son enjoyed it very much and now he wants to see more of them.
nice
it's neat to watch
3:08 That... is the most precious thing I have ever seen in my entire life... 😭😭😭
I'm so bored during this coronavirus lockdown I saw and enjoyed this entire video. Thanks for making this a little easier lol

What is the purpose of boiling the lettuce
It softens the lettuce making it easier for the tadpoles to eat.
Celina asked about collecting frog spawn. Check out this NatureNorth.com article: www.naturenorth.com/spring/classrm/wfclass/Fclaswf.html
Hmm my science teacher will be like 😱 if she sees this vid and she might show it to da whole class😑
How can they drown when they are done growing up? They were in water for like 49 days.
If they can't get out of the water they exhaust themselves trying and can't breath properly.
i remember these things from pokemon. Tympole i choose you!
Absolutely fascinating! And the time and talent it took to record this amazing journey is just as impressive. Thank you so very much! 👍
Thanks for the video. Really helpful.
when eating lettuce they look like little mice lol
Well I think the little baby tadploes are cute & when they turn into a baby froggy they are cute too. 🐸
Great video! I loved the quality, and all the intriguing shots. Thanks for including the 'day count' and all the extra informative details. All the photography was amazing and I find it helpful that you also include some tips on how to raise them as well. Keep up this work dude!

Bro
you have some great vids about the frogs
I rather watch your vids even tho no specific explanation than cartoons .
The evolution of the frogs are really satisfying.
KEEP UP MY FRIEND
*4:47** look how cute that is.* 😭❤
I think you've worked hard for this video....
WONDERFUL!!!
Thank you so much. This is really helpful in my classroom.
well made transformation sequence. I can see you put a lot of work in this documentary
What do i feed them when they became frogs?
Small insects.
NatureNorth Can i feed them like fly?
Sure, small flies or mosquitoes.
NatureNorth
NatureNorth Can you feed them like dead flies/mosquitoes?
My children found tadpoles at the local creek however they all died a few days after when put in the aquarium. Any reason why? Shock perhaps?
+Cee Sem Soon Sorry, but it's hard to say anything without knowing the exact conditions in your aquarium. Sometimes water chemistry gets out of balance, viruses or bacteria can proliferate, oxygen levels can drop, etc.
NatureNorth Thank you. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I think we'll stick to gold fish instead.
+Cee Sem Soon did you use tap water? I heard using water with chlorine in it is bad for frogs, so use either rain water or water from their creek/pond.
+foodfood Tap water is OK if you let it stand for a day or two so the chlorine evaporates.
The ideal thing to do would be to collect water from the creek and use that along with any plant matter or algae that is in the area.
Thank you, excellent video :) very interesting
I can't believe you can see it's heart. that gives me chills
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like that would pointed out things. For example when the front legs were still inside the tadpole. My children and I enjoyed this video.
Aww tadpoles always make me smile, they're just too cute. Thank you for giving these guys a safe place to grow up during the most vulnerable time of their lives
They ate each other
Nice anf informative video, great close ups.. GREAT VIDEO!
I adore frogs. This video was the best thing I happen to come across! Thank you! Seeing their beating hearts was amazing!!!
You are really deserved for appreciation.....
just remembered of my childhood when I was playing with these on the river side...damn, what days, what memories. These kids nowadays don't have such beautiful things to live
Whoa this is awesome for my class, since they are just getting to animal life cycle! Great video.
This is such an underrated video! I really enjoyed seeing the progression of the eggs to tadpoles to frogs. Very very cool!
Great video and "subtitles"! nicely done.
Awesome!
Thank you---my four-year-old granddaughter and I enjoyed this very much!
They are truly remarkable. any Christian who is still convinced evolution is a myth should watch this. How else does an animal who can live entirely underwater during its adolescence, then climb out and breath air?
AWESOME
One of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched 🐸
Thanks! I appreciate your hard work! Very informative and pretty cool.
my hatchlings are on day 3-4
I gotta say, those are adorable!!
Thank you for this video! Succinct, thorough and entertaining. My students are going to love this! Thank you!
Thanks for the very cool video! My kids and I loved learning about the early development of frogs! Especially, my four year old daughter. She was having a hard time connecting tadpoles to frogs but your video was great in showing the transition
Wow! Amazing video again. The beating heart really amaze me. Your videos are good for children's.
You should turn this in if ur still in school and have science, it would be an A+ project I bet
It's kind of weird how as babies they're herbivores but as they mature into frogs they become carnivores? I wonder why they'd evolve to have such radical shifts in diet at different stages in their life cycle, and what survival benefit this would give them?
Tadpoles are omnivorous, they aren't capable of predation but will consume carrion and other animal matter such as eggs if they find it.
Animal protein is very useful for their development.
how did you collect the egg spawn from the pond? thank you
That's so cool that you did that!! I commend you👍🏻!! Great job, and video!!!
such an amazing process. thanks for sharing with us. ☺😊💞💙
Great video! Found it while researching the discovery of black eggs in my kiddie pool. Already have some two week old tadpoles developing and have put rocks and plants in the water for food and climbing, when they're ready. First time nurturing these guys. Almost threw them out with the water until I got a closer look! ;-)
This is like the ultimate biology project thing...
Amazing video! Thank you so much!!!! Frogs are the best ❤️ 🐸
Oh NICE lots of frogs MANUFACTURED at once
I saw a bunch of tiny frogs by the back door hopping around at Home Depot! I got a paper cup and picked up some that I could catch and went down to the creek close to my house and let them go. They were so cute!
And the dog ate them
THE END
For me a frog is the most closest you can see on what happens before a thing gets developed cause the insides is so visible when they're young
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for this video! I just showed it to my little boy to teach him about frogs.
Cool video, thanks for making it.My kids and I enjoyed it!
Omg the heart
This was a good tutorial, now I entered the frog form. Thank you so much!
Beautiful baby froggys! 🐸 I wish I was tiny so I could cuddle them! 🥰
They all grow up so quickly ; (
