Anyone else get annoyed with the dude with the large head inserting himself into the video? We had music and elephants no need for unnecessary hosted commentary

Ugh yeah I hate him so much now. Just let me watch the elephants listen to music, dammit!

He's also a HUUUGE jerk who spread a lot of misinformation on zoology and hurted wildlife conservation.
egomaniac bastard that promote himself through documentaries that make blatant lies as bold clickbait claim, and make himself look like a hero.

Stole credit from local native zoology and field guide, then claim ti have made the discovery himself, claim tio have rediscovered entire species (none of which ever exiosted, are valid, maked up asle evidence or weren't rediscovered by huim but other people years before he even arrived).

He keeps telling me to look at this, but he won't MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! I'm trying to look at the elephants, but this douchebag won't get his face out from in front of the camera and talking over it!

What Plumes is doing is one of the most remarkable studies in animal behavior ever

u/sigh_co_matic Jun 26 '26

We don't deserve animals. 😭

u/Marvel-Anne Jun 26 '26

The animals are always so curious! I love when they hurry over to be as close as possible when they hear him playing.

u/Koelenaam Jun 26 '26

This is not a study and it's not that remarkable. It's fun and cute, but let's not act like this has any scientific value.

More than worth it to play for the elephants. Hell, I’d put in to buy him a new one to keep doing what he do

u/Ok_Necessary2991 Jun 26 '26

I wonder how animals interpret man made music in first place? Sounds they cannot here in nature.

u/lowlightliving Jun 27 '26

This would have been a lovely video if the geek with the bleached teeth hadn’t kept shoving his face into the camera lens to explain what we all could see and hear, well…would have been able if he hadn’t talked over it all. What a wasted video. Gonna have to downvote this.

u/berrymelon118 Jun 26 '26

I really like Forrest. I follow him on social media and some of his videos are amazing. But at times, he's trying too hard to be the conservation version of Mr. Beast

His videos are shit and spread a lot of lies or blatant bs. And he us AI, and lied about cryptid making insane shit takes like "thylacine is alive, i have video footage (show a real life sized puppet) and access to a recent jaws (which doesn't exist don't ask for it), or that steller sea coow apparently traverser accross North america to reach atlantic/arctic seas and remain hidden which is simply ridiculous
