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!

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 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.

@tayloreverard2039 7 месяцев назад

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.

@Sk8erMorris 7 месяцев назад

That's Darwanism. But what if we look throught the ángel that these 'insects' teach themseleves and so have last so long. Telepathically teaching themseleves to the point of living long enough for us to grasp such beauty both genetically and physcially. Just food for thought ay.

@tayloreverard2039 7 месяцев назад

the point of my comment was to point out that we too often simplify things to statements like "that's evolution" or in your case "that's Darwinism" - and to make any reader think one layer deeper, that it's not as simple as "they are from x place, this explains y behaviour or trait," and then to think about how that applies to our own biological responses. I don't think these animals teach themselves to act in this way. You don't teach yourself to breathe, you just do it. @@Sk8erMorris

@i-never-look-at-replies-lol 7 месяцев назад

it's actually been observed in fish & flies that they do adapt in a few generations

@tayloreverard2039 7 месяцев назад

I know what you're getting at, but adapting and evolving aren't the same. Elephants changing their migration patterns to match changing water distribution isn't evolution, but if it turned out that they have electromagnetic sensory in their big ears that helps them find water, they might get smaller bodies while retaining big ears. That would be evolution. Whether an adaptation has the staying power to become an evolution is determined by how the environment around them changes over those same millions of years. That hopefully colours in my personal perceived grey area of evolution.

One of the best nature compilations on the entirety of RU-vid! 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!
