Al principio nos parece extraño esta relación tan simbiótica y aparentemente tan cambiadas desde la naturaleza, sin embargo al ver la armonía y el respeto qie Zhong Man tiene por los Cormoranes cambia nuestra percepción. Simplemente es una relación de vida, alli en ese china rural y hermosa rodeada del río y sus afluentes. Saludos desde Colombia.❤

No es una relación simbiótica. En una relacion simbiotica se benefician ambas especies de la "cooperacion". Aqui se trata de un caso de explotacion, tortura y esclavitud hacia el cormoran.. al que le amarran el cuello para evitar que se coman los peces que atrapan, y los condicionan desde chicos para obedecer al humano.

Wow! That is amazing! Cormorants are really regal beautiful birds. I never had the feeling they had any potential to "fraternize" or even allow humans to be anywhere near them. I've witnessed them from afar many, many times in the McLusky canal in Turtle lake North Dakota. Pretty amazing to see them working in tandem with humans.

Maravilloso documental, la convivencia del hombre y los animales con la belleza del medio.
Animals don't care what you have or how you look. They see our souls and hearts. They love him. And the way they fought to get that one fish...all of them are determined to take it to daddy.😂❤ Edit: the way his grandson was mad about his bird not being home.😂😂
So, this video was released in 1993. It seems unlikely to me that Zhong Man is still around nor, in the age of cell phones, do I hold any hope that his grandson took over, so I'm sort of sad having watched this. This is the sort of thing I watched a lot as a kid and now much later I feel like a great deal of tradition has simply been tossed in the last 30 years.

Beautiful documentary. Thank you for showing❤️🌸 His method of Cormorants shows trust and humanistic, different from what I saw Japanese method of using same birds by tying ropes around their throats and keeping in close range. It is considered skilled task to keep birds within controll without tangling the ropes. Very interesting tradition and skills based on the intuitive connection with birds and nature. 🤗💕🕊️

In fact, there are also ropes wrapped around the throat, which can be seen in the close-up at 14:23, but the director avoided this problem. If the rope is not wrapped, the Cormorant will instinctively swallow the fish.

@@user-ng1qd4bn4s Not all birds have a rope, it seems only some of them do. Perhaps it is the ones that cannot be trained to ignore their instinct to swallow the fish.
Amazing how nature, working in concert proves to be so mutually beneficial. Seeing approaches and techniques over 1000 years old just makes me wonder. How much has been transferred and what secrets remain occulted from most contemporary eyes? Thanks for sharing.
