    Bryan Maltais takes you into a forest of southwest Germany to meet its wildlife as they emerge in the last days of Winter, and flourish through the breeding season into Summer. Large mammals, insects, amphibians and reptiles are featured in this whimsical tale.
    The Fire Salamander and its plight with Bsal are featured. Bsal is a microscopic fungus that was accidentally imported into Europe and destroys the skin of many types of salamanders. The Fire Salamander is currently disappearing in parts of Europe due to the invasion by the non-native Bsal fungus. Watch this documentary to the end to learn about Bsal and how you can help prevent its spread.

    I logged in only to comment on this video. The first time I listened, I didn’t even realize this wasn’t a large scale production. Your narration is absolutely beautiful, and even if others don’t like the “flowery” language, I think it gives the video an almost ethereal feel. Absolutely fantastic work.

    Beautifully crafted video. I am a researcher who has studied chytrid and its affects in North America, I hope the amphibian version doesn't result in the same outcome. On a side note, when I visit Europe I always go looking for Fire Salamanders, almost always at the wrong time of year, so have not been successful. A really beautiful species, I do hope to see one day in its native habitat.

    Fantastic work on this documentary. Such an amazing array of shots of these fascinating creatures and candid looks into their life cycles. It must have taken ages to get that good footage, not to mention editing it together. My only gripe is the delivery of the script is a bit stiff. It sounds like it is being recorded one sentence at a time and it becomes choppy and distracting when it should all flow together for a more narrative, story telling feel.

  • @2baSelkie

    Dear Bryan, I have just watched this beautiful documentary again, it was so captivating. As good as any National Geographic or BBC productions. In a way the forest is my church, I don't have to drink wine or eat paper. The peace and constant wonder of the surrounding nature does more to lift the spirits than anything I can think of. I have sent messages to friends whom I know will love this. I want to find out more about this fungus too.
    I have always wondered if you have exotic pets why they can't be the kind that live in the wild. The butterflies, i.e. why not the swallow tail and the lesser swallow tail which used to be a daily sight once. Then they could be put back in the nature., and so many others too.
    I have a 4 meter diamiter, 90 cm tall pool with an island in the middle fot turtles. These I got as the former owners were just going to realease them in a lake. I get so cross. The bull frog is marching in this direction. It is the bees I worry about though. Yesterday I saw over 50 Asian hornets. For anyone who wants to learn how the Asiatic bees protect themselves, Nat. Geog. have a video on how they survive How they learnt this micro wave defense is beyond me Well worth watching.
    Now I must gather "God's little apples" Only the Americans could come up with this lovely term for 'shit'. :)

    I can relate. I spend most of my time in the forest as well. Foraging for mushrooms, plants and animals. I never get bored in nature. Its all unique and ever changing.

      Is that really his actual voice? Just wondering. I was a bit confused. Sounded a little robotic or computerized several times. Lol. At least this is a GOOD robotic voice.
      And also, he mentioned his childhood home being a “medieval village,” yet this voice or narrator has a fully American accent. The only medieval villages in America were Native American villages, I’m pretty sure, haha. I know you can move away, grow up somewhere else, develop a different accent, etc, whatever. Just saying.

    I really like how it's filmed in a specific area, during a specific period. Most nature documentaries lack context. A few minutes of few minutes of this and a few minutes of that, swapping constantly until it's over, showing only the most spectacular parts of either place. I've seen elephants a hundred times by now. I really like how this film focuses on an ecosystem as a whole. The sum of the parts is more spectacular than the parts themselves. And space is given to many often overlooked details.
