"Frogs: Thin green line" on TV

[Hayden]

Excellent video. While it was very scary and depressing, it also offered a bit of hope in the form of captive breeding programs. I was really impressed with the couple at the end of the show who were breeding frogs and releasing them back into their natural habitat. Excellent work!

Thanks for the link!!!

Did anyone record the (maybe hd) tv-show and could upload it to a hoster like rapidshare or else? The online-version is nice, but I prefer the tv-set and larger view.
Thanks a lot for any help.

You can maximize it on off the website.

that´s true, but the resolution stays the same though and the image becomes blurred then if bloated...and I am truly a fan of hd-resolution..

I saw the seconf half of it on air (and in HD Frank) and thought it was pretty cool, especially the Australian captive breeding project.

Yeah it was a darn very good show.
Especially I am glad to know the Australian team is working hard to bring Corroboree frog population back.
Hope their strategy works and the researcher's kids can enjoy seeing them in a field near future.
I fell in love with that frog first time I saw on internet and still want to see them in person!

For those of you that watched it, I'm curious what you think of the process used to selectively breed chytrid-immune frogs. One scientist mentioned that 95% percent of the frogs they reintroduce may die, but the 5% that live can be used to strengthen the species. Does anyone have any ethical qualms about this? What about the idea of man pushing the evolutionary process of selective breeding?

As a side note, this is related a little to the ending of Watchmen, but I haven't been able to have any intelligent conversations with my friends about this yet, unfortunately.

Thank you for that link, I enjoyed it a lot.
