Deep in tropical jungles lie floating kingdoms ruled by beautiful and deadly masters: They are sort of the high elves of the ant kingdoms: Talented architects that create castles and city states. But they are also fierce and expansionist warriors and their kingdoms are ensnared in a never ending war for survival. Oecophylla weaver ants.

For those that seek everlasting life, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today. Pray to The Lord and ask Him to come into your heart, accept Him as Your Lord and Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and then resurrected on the 3rd day. 📕(1 Corinthians 15:1-4) "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" 💬By accepting Him as Your Savior in prayer and believing in His gospel, you are saved (John 3:16). But if you reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the wrath of God abides on you (John 3:36). No religion nor false gods can grant you everlasting life, Jesus is the only way to salvation. (John 14:6) "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"

I dunno if anybody else has noticed it but Kurzgesagt has drastically improved their animation and graphics. They almost added another dimension and with the shadow and blurring effects, the video is aesthetically supreme. Damn, the birds deserve a raise.
