Poor King Kong.  The abandonment of Earth’s natural environment and the creatures that depend on it is one of the worst things ever.  There is absolutely no excuse for it.  :nono:

Its a really cool quick documentary on Gigantopethicus. Good graphics.

It must be some sort of copyright issue here in Canada, it won't play even when I search directly from my browser, not through the forum. That sucks!!

I clicked watch on YouTube and it worked for me.

Nope, that goes to the video, I see the intro picture, then "video not available" pops up. Are you in Canada?

We're in TN, USA.  Although, with all the bs in 'the states' these days, Canada often seems like it would be better.  :thumbsup:

 

I don't know why anyone would restrict a youtube video to the US only, but apparently that does happen.  These are some things you could try:

Works fine for me, and I'm in Coquitlam. Could be either your browser or your Service Provider. I'm on Telus, and using Firefox.

In the past I've received a warning point for a comment that was much milder but was perceived as political commentary, which is restricted to the Tar Pit.  However, I primarily respond to note that it may not be a YouTube video creator limiting viewing to the US, but it may be other countries restricting access.  Without offering any commentary on the wisdom or need for doing so, I understand that both Canada and the European Union now have stringent requirements to prevent "fake news."  Since these types of things are usually performed by computer algorithms, there are often many unintended limitations in what can or cannot be seen in such places.

 

Don't have any idea what's actually preventing someone from viewing this clip.  Usually, when I have a problem its because the computers are actively conspiring to make themselves as annoying as possible to me.
