[@theisnoplanet]

the fact that you really belive that just coz bbc earth told ya it's pretty retarded, it's clearly just a coincidence of color and they don't run like the beetles

[@LesKirby-o9b]

lol I was looking for the scene after reading your comment. It. 's funny because it's usually the little one trying to act like a big one.

This video serves as a reminder of the fragility of the ecosystems that wild animals call home. The bond between some of these wild animals is truly heartwarming to witness. I'm in awe of the adaptability displayed by these wild animals in their natural habitats.

Sorry but the moment I heard Sir Attenborough I just chilled out in perfect contentment. Nature programs are the Beebs best shows ever. Their natural history unit is one of the best in the world. The macro lens work is incredible. No matter what I see on my walk to work, I can't help but smile knowing there's so much going on that I just can't see. There are still wonders to discover. This makes me very happy.

Army ants are the best! Another species of ant found in the Amazon forest is the leafcutter ant. Our camera got them on camera, and it's fascinating to see that they're leafcutter but not leaf-eaters. They spend the whole day carrying super heavy leaves around to grow a fungus!

[@charadreemurr1083]

the reason that snail can suck down a worm so easily is exactly the thing mentioned at the end, it's "thousand teeth" are effectively a pad that has spikes not unlike a cats tongue, only that a snail is designed to only lick, so it can do it very rapidly. the result is that it looks like suction as its gulping down a worm, but its actually more akin to an eel's second jaw, which pulls whatever it can touch further into the mouth
