Some thoughts:

① There is no need to watch this documentary with undue awe, because human existence is not that simple. It's just that animals pay the price for survival, while humans pay the price for their greed. There's no need to watch this documentary with pity either. That's the way animals live. They're tenacious and self-satisfied, and don't need human pity.

But looking at it, you will still sigh at the insignificance and stupidity of human beings. Daqian world is so majestic, how dare you say that you want to conquer the world?

②The life of an animal is only for two things, one is survival and the other is reproduction. Human beings are different. After getting rid of the situation of struggling for survival, they began to churn out countless desires, which caused countless wars and even disasters. The more you have, the more you want, and the more you lose.

③ Survival is survival, regardless of the importance or the lowly. The capture of a rhino by a pack of lions is a form of hunting, as is the capture of a termite by a golden mole. There is no substantial difference. After the pay and the gain are balanced, there is no difference. So do people. There is no need to be complacent about appearing to be at the top of the crowd, just like drinking water. All beings are equal, good is good.

⑤I have to sigh the greatness and secret of nature. All creatures are intertwined with each other, with the wisdom of suppressing each other, and the secret method of escape, it is really interesting to watch. It is also because of this that it can reproduce for thousands of years. It may be better to say that the greatness of nature is the power of life.

Foraging at minus 40 degrees and survival at 50 degrees in the desert are miracles created by a strong will to survive.

④ Is it possible to create an environment where people and wild animals coexist? Do animals need the existence of this environment? Is it not greed to keep animals in captivity in human greenhouses?

One thanks:

It is such an honor to see a documentary filmed by so many professionals, who have gone through so many twists and turns, used so many elite instruments, and spent so much effort. May more such documentaries be created, and may our children and grandchildren have the opportunity to see such a shocking natural scene with their own eyes.
