          I learned about it from kids at summer camp and a penthouse we found under the leaves in an alley by a middle school when I was 6. Super healthy.

        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.

        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.
