I'm pretty sure these frogs are all fake. You must have brought along liitle frog figures to pose in the forest. Posted 2 years ago

  Hah, such accusation isn't far-fetched when you consider that the typical wildlife documentary would absolutely film such scenes in a terrarium, not in the wild.
  
  In this cased we paid for the privilege of the real thing with lots of suffering. Worth it though. Posted 2 years ago

    No, really?! I had no idea about filming in a terrarium. Your trip no doubt made better memories. Posted 2 years ago

      Yep, it's a common practice. Another highly common method of deception is filming two completely separate scenes (say a male and a female bird) and then later stitching this into a story using cut scenes, as if it was a singular event. Posted 2 years ago

        Wow. I always assumed it was all 'as is' and true. My naïveté is showing, lol. At least I don't fall for reality TV. Posted 2 years ago
