Acacia Ants Vs. Elephant | A Real Bug's Life | National Geographic

[@pedrodepacas9690]

The cameraman risked his life so he could film inside the elephant’s trunk. Proof the cameraman never dies

[@tosha9994]

My only explanation is that they recreated what it would look like but idk thats not like nat geo to do that

[@ntruter42]

@@tosha9994 It's a new world with Unreal Engine 5, and generative AI. They must somehow make use of these in order to up the ante (pun intended) 😅.

Hats off to the film crew. That was one of the best footage I've seen

[@Michael-hb3ip]

Do you want them to say thanks so you can feel special? Hahahaha

[@jaggyp9457]

About 10% of that footage was real

[@carlosangulo3035]

@@jaggyp9457i know right,the video was pretty much close ups of ants being throwns in the air with sand,close ups of the ocasia branch breaking,and clips of the ant biting “HUMAN” skin.

[@Replicant-by1eh]

When you know all the audio is fake too. Created in a garage with vegetables and utensils it does take away the shine a bit for me.

[@ZoeTV_Chedda4Life_ChadLoso]

The camera they use is insane

[@LittleBigJon]

No, it's super-natural

[@J.Sanchez210BxB]

It’s a lense actually can be used on most cameras lol

It’s legit 10 percent real and the others are ai

"Strange time to twerk" had me chuckling Lol Involuntary twerking 😆

[@piotrkmiec6590]

I lost it at 'strange time to twerk' xD Never expected this much sass from natgeo

[@nghialetnghia6376]

Awesome achievement of protecting family and the the host (acacia trees).

[@j5nephews558]

Super footage, but anyone who has to battle ants in the house every spring will root for the elephant every time!

[@dem-ming3417]

Yaaaas

[@sandhy81]

NatGeo: Simply the best. Enjoy every single moment.

[@ntruter42]

There's no way this live footage. No way! How did they follow those ants into the trunk? This is amazing CGI though. Has to be Unreal Engine 5.

[@DarAlbrentPolido]

3:25 was so sad😢😢

[@kinga.anna09]

Good recording, it's amazing how animals protect themselves !

[@MNS_creativity]

How did they film inside the trunk? That's crazy 😲

[@S2minute]

Good question! Lol

[@almirhajdarevic8752]

There are two holes, simple...

[@mahendra_devalkar]

Elephants are huge, so maybe cameraman was short enough to fit inside the trunk 🙂

[@Mxrcusq]

That’s what I’m saying

[@Ayoub-adventures]

Maybe fabricated ?

[@captainjpz]

This was pretty much a Marvel movie script 😄

[@insectilluminatigetshrekt5574]

Yeah

[@coffeeaddictanonymous]

Wow, whoever was filming is brave! Got right up into the elephants nose and shook around. The real winner here is whoever was filming this lol, I'd be scared of being stomped squashed or who knows what xD

[@Farish_Asalman]

Still wondering how they did inside the trunk

[@deckthompsonjr2887]

I nominate this best short movie in the animal kingdom!! 🎥 Remarkable footage!!

[@brucehicks5817]

My nostrils were swelling just watching this.

[@ansalicru]

I bet the filmmakers had a great time torturing the ants to get that perfect footage of simulated conflict

[@sukhnathoram1126]

Ofcourse

[@melatonin1371]

I cant believe twerk is a real term now

[@francesconiccolai6592]

Quando la siccità...è al massimo le Formiche demoliscono anche i rami più alti e lontani delle acacie ....in questo modo permettono poi agli elefanti di poter raggiungere comodamente a terra quel poco che l'acacia permette di mangiare al pachiderma....si può parlare di una Straordinaria forma di ... mutuo soccorso fra ....il Gigante e la formica 🐘💪🐜

[@einsam514]

Would it be "insect cruelty" if NatGeo could do a documentary about ants or other insects that are being fried, cooked and consumed in certain parts of the world? I'm already imagining the slow motion of the ants being thrown into the frying pan with some classical music (cliche) in the background. Well, maybe it's kinda cruel. 🤷‍♂

Well no offense to anyone, but if I were a hungry elephant and something was preventing me from eating what I want, I'd destroy everything in my path to.

[@MrWarrenRB]

Well yeah, there are rarely free meals in the wild. Everyone has to fight to survive.

[@badlaamaurukehu]

Is this AI narration?

[@badlaamaurukehu]

Seems like every PBS/Naturalist/YT/whatever mainstream channel has the same model of people narrating. At least let me pretend that the narrator has actually been out of the city before or has actually been on the planet long enough to understand some basic natural concepts and consequences. I miss Attenborough and Freeman and the like. As a kid this would have turned me off immediately as it sounds like the average curricular dribble from the average unhappy bureaucrat that thought themselves a teacher.

Twerk and booty shake? Could we get an adult who uses real adult words next time on the commentary next time? I mean unless your target audience is 15 years old then your right on track.
