    The little lizard trying to run and look like the beetle was just too cute!
  • @WetAdek
    that bombardier beetle just kicking the ants around is one of the funniest things I have seen lately ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Funniest moment: "But the hurling habit dies hard..." ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

    The camera shots never cease to amaze me.

    I like the part how the red ants look down at that sand insect hahaha
  • those bees mobbing the hornet was so incredible!!! they work as as a unified body, theyโ€™re so amazing to watch work.

    28:23 The beetle beat 5 other males to get to her just for her to be like "no thanks, not interested" ๐Ÿคฃ
  • 6:10This ant has taught me a valuable life lesson - to never give up, no matter the obstacles. Their persistent efforts are truly inspiring and a reminder that with enough determination, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.โ™ฅ

    The stag beetle one killed me lol. Nature is brutal and does not pull any punches.
  • I think the insect that can freeze holds a lot of secrets about life's history. Mountain ranges don't appear overnight - similarly, the animals don't adapt in a few generations. It fascinates me to think about the intricacies of the process to adapt over millions of years as the environment changes. We often say things like "this animal is perfectly adapted to x environment" but that completely misses the dynamic aspect of an environment over millions of years.

    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!
  • @Summitic
    I wanna see more episodes on parasitic fungus! Please ๐Ÿ™

    The fruit will explode when it is watered, I used to play when I was young so happy
  • @TQNWildlife-202
    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.

    One of the best nature compilations on the entirety of YouTube! Thank you BBC for this phenomenal work. The beetle that battled his way to the female, got rejected initially the chucked her off after having his way had me dying laughing. What a male shovenist! And who needs sci Fi aliens with those mantis. Nature is mind boggling.
