    Sir David Attenborough is the best wildlife narrator. He's 97 years old and still going strong
  • 11:22 i still cant get over the fact that this beetle jist kicks the ants like footballs here
  • 34:05 the best story ever... I mean this guy after the "work" just knocked down the lady 😂 unbelivable😂
  • How do they get footage inside these antholes. You guys deserve so much credit
  • @gopalroy9139
    Kudos to Ant cameraman who decided to record this whole event for us and also missed the whole feast in doing so....

    The Stag Beetle’s “Four F” motto; Find ‘em, Feel ‘em, F__k ‘em & FLING ‘EM! 😂

    Cicada:"Can I go to school mom?" Mom cicada:"Nope, you're the feeding-predators sibling"

    The time, work, patience to get these videos/films is beyond me. Thank you film crew, everyone.
  • The stag beetle is hilarious. Just throws her off after he was done with her like, "Well thanks for everything girl. Time to get off my tree now." 😂😂

    This amazing documentary clips made me feel sorry for a slug, root for a cute jumping spider looking for love, be totally in awe of warring ants and wasps with battle scenes better than any period drama. 🤩

    Jeez. Slugs do everything slow, even death.
  • @swizzler8053
    I felt sorry for that snail in the beginning but damn he held it's own.

    I live half the year in Canada and half in Thailand just outside Chaing Mai. The Cicadas bloomed about 5 years ago, what a racket. There were millions dead on the roads, our driveway was full. My wife had never experienced this either. When it first started it was alarming
