Faking is what you lead your audience to believe. If you tell them you are film the birth a polar bear in the wild, it had better be in the wild. Lying is even worse than faking. Faking is not telling the audience what is really going on.
As a wildlife photographer I do not want captive animals considered wild. Just state that some of the scenes were filmed in captivity. That makes the truly amazing wildlife image precious compared to one taken where the animal was under some control.
Ethics.

You may have fooled others, but not me. A common loon in a tree? Nice try! ;D
How about a groundhog in a tree?
OK, let's hijack this thread - its gone on long enough, anyway
How about a great blue heron in a tree?
BTW - that loon etc in the tree was great!
Jackson_Bill, love that great blue heron shot!
+1...how about a juvenile AND an adult BCN Heron in the same Octopus tree? ;D

I would have been more impressed with an Octopus in an Octopus tree
While we are stretching..... how about cats in a tree? I used this picture last winter for Christmas Cards, and yes, that is the front of a canoe on the wall of my living room
