After the 4th or 5th fake static video transition (with accompanying sound), I gave up. Intentionally introducing such fake artifacts just annoys me. I tried to watch it, I really did.

There hardly is anything anymore that isn't super cute, super deadly or both. Unfortunately, that’s the way most nature/animal documentaries are presented these days.
