Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer

[lolwhat2]

Steve Leonard is such a fake douche.

[minutegongcoughs]

Hope you can upload some more of "Orangutan Diary". We think the Beeb really gave us a quality series here.

[cleanarmboy]

yes it is criminal to cut down whole forests. it is disgusting to be quite honest.

i am ashamed of the human race for destroying such beauty

[atrumira]

So true.

It is difficult to face the fact that the human species has every characteristic associated with cancer - on a planetary scale. We multiply out of control, just like cancer & we are slowly killing our host, this planet, just like cancer kills the body.

That poor Orangutan.

Why dont they kill all spiders and mosquitoes instead ... we dont need them anyway ... make sandwiches out of em or something usefull ...

[thetroggs]

mosquitoes no, spiders yes, I can tell from your comment that you are both anoyed of mosquitoes and probably scared of spiders. Mosquitos are a promblem who dont do anything for the enviroment, spiders as much as you probably dont like them, kill the problems with the enviroment, and us. IE rats mosquitoes, bugs etc. No need to kill off a race if they do useful things no matter how much you hate them. An dif the spiders did not kill the bugs they do, the world would be overrun by bugs.

[athriaxo]

Yeah but cant we just genetically engineer something cute and fuzzy with long ears ... something like a rabbit ... to eat insects instead and then kill all spiders? I think we could and should ... we owe it to the future of mankind to be spider free xD

[thetroggs]

LOL but really, it may look creepy, but it helps out more than youd belive

[transcanAngelo]

i want that the people die no the animals

[southhampton91]

Sorry you've got 4 thumbs down. It's just human vanity at work here. Not many understand the context and the deep sense of helplessness that lies beneath the surface of your statement.

[subnuz000]

that so saddddddddd

[climid]

truly a shocking video. although logging in borneo and asia is a roblems, its even worse uin the amazon and the biodiversity there is much higher.

[EtSpiritasSancti]

i love this video

im naked atm bm

[Renrooni]

? what the heck lol

[FrankiEmo92]

you're not sexeh!!! NOT SEXEH!!!!

[jtrumble]

When we displace the habitat of the great apes in service of our need for wood products and let our majestic first cousins drop like garbage to the forest floor we are on the path of our own destruction and extinction. These are sentient beings, whose holocaust we create for the most banal material gain. This is beyond shameful - it is criminal.

[becful21]

well said!!! watch EARTHLINGS, truly learn how man uses animals everyday and how some of us don't even realize it!!

[EnonimusTransmission]

Actually it's not criminal, I think you misunderstand basic concepts of law.

You realizing they are saving the animals life?

[simplytk]

i couldn't even watch it all, how sad :(

[FloatingGrin]

That was very powerful...

[tluagel]

Oooooh! The nice white men are saving the ourang-outangs! Ever thought about saving their habitat while you are there? How about using the tranquilizer darts on those who are operating the machines at the end of the clip?

[DamienZshadow]

White men? I'm sure he would love to, but how much control would that have? As much as we may protest to civilization's expansion into wildlife, we have very little say in how another country wants to use its own land. I hate seeing this too, but until leaders can open their eyes, scientists and supporters can only do their best to save what they can.

[tluagel]

Thank you for bringing a rational response to my irrational reaction to the idea of waiting for another generation of leaders before any improvment shows up in these countries. You preach to an already converted who gets more and more upset as it gets worse.

[DamienZshadow]

I hear you out, dude. I wish there was more we can do, but the cogs and gears of an entire global civilization are real hard to put on a long enough stop to make changes before it collapses on itself. The best that could be done is providing as many alternatives on our lifestyles through as many scientific breakthroughs as we can. Only by that, can we truly measure the capacity of ourselves as a Human race.

[truffles248]

Everyone should really watch this...its very meaningful!

[skillmatrix09]

why are they destroying there habitat??

[FloatingGrin]

They are destroying the habitat because there's money in trees. There's money in farming the land that the trees are on. It's easy to ask why...the answers aren't so easy at all. It so pains me to see the habitat destroyed but at the same time, there are real reasons for those who do it.

[dehbee]

the logging industry. and humans destroy forests for new land to provide new homes for us.

[skillmatrix09]

yes for us but i mean would u wanna live your life with just human's??? dont u like any animals? if earth had no animals that would suck because i have a cat 2 hamster's and without them i would of been sooooooooooo booooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeeddddddd­d!

[Drakoman07]

it doesn't matter. We wouldn't be able to live without animals anyway. We could live without some things, not all.

[skillmatrix09]

yeah but if cows and stuff are dead we would have no meat.... dont you like hamburgers??

[Drakoman07]

that's fine, how do you suppose that we lose our population of cows? they eat grass.

excuse me, but may i ask your age?

[mayinss]

Why are they destroying their habitat?

[freedomwarrior43]

I hate watching these videos because they make me hungry.

[Vertman3000]

Rofl

[phychojuggalo]

this video needs to get alot of views and ratings so it can be seen by the world t let everyone actually know that they always die unkless they can help the animals and they usually cant

[radlations]

Bro at the rate we're going and the fact that almost every country is getting more advanced. It looks like events like these will continue to take place.

And more and more animals will lose their homes as well as their lives.

[VanGaore]

It's such a tragic shame though. We are basically systematically killing everything in the world including ourselves. Sometimes I think our entire race are retards.

[press0011]

i wish i could do that
