"flora and fauna that has been documented since photography / film exist" -> I don't mean fossil record, I mean "ongoing speciation" ...

[John H K]

Well, obviously, you're not going to see a given species get pregnant, and give birth to a completely different species.

The human lifetime (and recorded human history, which is only about 6,000 years) is far too short to witness speciation of that nature.

Which, of course, gives rise to the idiocy of young-earth creationism.
