Why no videos like that of bears or horses or humans? I guess I could take it the other direction and picture videos of bugs laying eggs... that seems normal... I suppose fish are different enough from people for it to seem sort of normal.

I remember a teacher also showed my class a documentary that covered that, them he commented "wow, jumping in those waters sound great!", everybody laughed.

Also the diluted bird, fish and mammal excrement and urine plus all the decaying animals, insects and plants brings it to a new level for me.
