00:00Animals with a funny face that move in a circle
00:04are the ones that will catch our attention in the new wildlife series,
00:08South America's Weirdest.
00:12Elephants that hide in the water are discarded.
00:23They are eager to guard the house to save it.
00:30Chans are always looking for a way to escape.
00:42Penguins in the island of Pantropico,
00:44travel miles in search of food.
01:00A giant cockroach that moves in a circle.
01:13For those who are new to this past week,
01:16let's relax and enjoy the beauty here in Purok Cuatro, San Mateo,
01:21where you will experience your adventure this Friday night.
01:26Amazing Earth!
01:30Amazing Earth!
01:32Amazing Earth!
01:34Amazing Earth!
01:36Amazing Earth!
01:46If you will join the talent contest,
01:48the animals that I will introduce to you will receive an award.
01:51They are multi-purpose.
01:53They can be used for fire, food, and snorkeling.
01:56We will introduce them in the story of Amazing No. 5,
01:59the story of Amazing No. 5.
02:03In South America, the land is fertile.
02:08Trees, forests, and mountains are abundant.
02:16Living here is a big challenge.
02:19In order for their population not to be depleted,
02:23those who live here change their lives.
02:27Evolution is the reason why the people here are happy and sometimes laugh.
02:36Expect the unexpected.
02:39Here, the stranger, the brighter.
02:44South America is vast.
02:48It is home to weirdos and weirdos.
02:52The king's favorite is grass.
02:56An ancient animal and the largest land mammal in South America,
03:02the tapir.
03:05It is a living fossil.
03:08Within more than 20 million years,
03:10its species has not changed.
03:13Its nose is long.
03:16But it is not the offspring of elephants.
03:20Horses and rhinoceros are closer to the offspring of tapirs.
03:25Like elephants, the tapir uses its nose to get food.
03:33And of course, to smell the predators.
03:36And at a weight of up to 250 kilos,
03:39the heavy tapir cannot easily bite.
03:44Its only enemy is the jaguar.
03:49This fierce cat is the strongest predator in the world.
03:55But the tapir will not be easily defeated because it hides its prey.
04:02Its scent is like a snorkel.
04:05Even in water, it can hide for a few minutes.
04:11The jaguar is exhausted.
04:14The jaguar is exhausted.
04:20The tapir has defeated its enemy.
04:23But of course, it is also afraid.
04:29It is afraid of the tapir's explosion.
04:33But it is a snack for a small animal.
04:38It is the scrap beetle.
04:41It is also known as the dung beetle.
04:44With its sensitive antenna,
04:47these beetles are able to find fresh food.
04:53And in just a few minutes,
04:54the tapir's food is instant food for the insects that feed on it.
04:59The food is depleted.
05:01While most people like to dine-in,
05:05some people like to take out their biscuits.
05:08But it is hard to roll the pile of dirt.
05:14It is too heavy, so we need to help.
05:18The dung beetles seem to clean the jungle.
05:21But they also have an important task.
05:26Those round pieces of dirt
05:28are filled with feces from plants.
05:32And every time the beetles pick it up to throw it on the ground,
05:35they also plant new trees in the jungle.
05:40There are animals that are like boy scouts.
05:42Always ready.
05:43Like the one I will introduce to you.
05:45To save the enemy from tragedy,
05:47he made a lot of holes under the ground.
05:50Meet the Boy Scout of Animal Kingdom
05:53in the story of Amazing Number 4,
05:55Boy Hukay Bahay.
05:58Cerrado,
06:01the savannah in South America.
06:04The dry land seems to be waiting to be ploughed.
06:15And the hot wind
06:17makes the fire burn faster on the ground.
06:22The other animals run away from the fire of the empire.
06:26And the others will be the dinner of the boy scout.
06:31But the white-tailed hawks can't wait any longer.
06:37This is what they are really waiting for.
06:39That's why they will attack right away.
06:42Even if they can be burned alive.
06:45The fire reaches 800 degrees Celsius.
06:51But that's not the problem of the fire hawks.
06:53They are allies of the infernal fire.
06:57The insects and the mayas
06:59are the target of the hawks.
07:04The fire is getting fiercer.
07:07It will take a few days
07:09if it won't be extinguished.
07:13But the fire that kills
07:15also has something to give.
07:18Finally,
07:19the scavengers have a chance.
07:23The fire here in Cerrado, New York has not changed.
07:27But for a unique animal,
07:30the fire is not a problem.
07:33The six-banded army dildo
07:35is unique in any way.
07:39It has a hole under the ground
07:41and it doesn't reach the ground.
07:44It has a hole under the ground
07:46and it doesn't reach the ground.
07:49It's cold under the ground
07:51and it needs to be heated.
07:55Even though it's in the tropics,
07:57the temperature can go down to 8 degrees Celsius.
08:01But when it comes out,
08:02it's frozen,
08:03so it has a crack.
08:07But that's not enough for it.
08:10The armadillo likes to prepare.
08:14Using its strong nails,
08:16it cuts the grass.
08:19Because it wants to be always ready
08:21for the events.
08:23But in Cerrado,
08:24the grass is in demand.
08:28Even the barrowing owls
08:31can eat their own grass.
08:34But why are you struggling
08:35if you can accept others?
08:38That's why the armadillo
08:39roams around
08:40to make sure
08:41that no one is in its way.
08:45It's really stressful.
08:47But maybe it just needs to be dipped.
08:53But it's also not allowed
08:54to just let it sleep.
08:58Especially if there's a maine wolf
08:59that's sure to be around.
09:03This dog is the tallest
09:04in the whole world
09:05at more than one meter.
09:10Because of its height,
09:11it's easy for it
09:12to catch prey in the grass.
09:17But because it's strong,
09:19the armadillo is always ready.
09:27So sorry to this dog,
09:29the plan was a failure.
09:32But it's not all over yet.
09:36Because it still has a lot
09:37to offer.
09:40This wolf loves
09:44bitter fruits
09:45like lobera.
09:48Other animals
09:49already eat it,
09:50but this is the wolf's favorite.
09:52Because it needs the fruit
09:54to get rid of its kidney worms.
09:57It's a deadly parasite.
10:01And the wolf
10:02knows how to watch
10:03the armadillo.
10:07It marks its territory
10:08on top of an anthill.
10:11The lobera's seed
10:12doesn't dissolve
10:13in the wolf's blood.
10:15That's why it will come out
10:17to get fat on the ground.
10:21Leafcutter ants
10:22take the falling leaves
10:24and bring them to their nest
10:26to feed on their fungus content.
10:31It's humid, hot and dark.
10:33This is the perfect place
10:34for the lobera's seed
10:35to grow again.
10:38And to complete
10:39its life cycle.
10:58This is the Scrub Forest
11:00in Boa Visita, Brazil.
11:03The sun shines
11:04in the quiet wilderness
11:07until...
11:10the Kaputsin monkeys
11:11roll the rocks
11:12from the top of the mountain.
11:17These monkeys
11:18are not fond of chaos.
11:22They are the so-called
11:23Einstein Kaputsins,
11:25the so-called
11:26most intelligent
11:27in their species.
11:28And breaking the rocks
11:30is just part of their plan.
11:33Because nature
11:34gives them delicious
11:36but hard-to-eat
11:38canned nuts.
11:41This tree is too hard
11:42to wrap.
11:46But the intelligent
11:47Kaputsins
11:48have a plan
11:49to open it.
11:52First,
11:53they will peel it
11:54before dropping it
11:55on the ground
11:56to dry it.
12:00Then,
12:01they will wait.
12:02A few days later,
12:03before it dries,
12:04they will pick it up.
12:06Can they do it now?
12:07Looks like not.
12:10Here,
12:11they can do it.
12:12The next step
12:13is the hardest.
12:17To open the fruit,
12:19they will smash it
12:20with big rocks.
12:23The rocks
12:24they dropped earlier,
12:26some of them,
12:27are as heavy as
12:28a bowling ball.
12:31It's like going back
12:32to the Stone Age
12:33to discard
12:34South American Kaputsins.
12:36But it's not
12:37that simple.
12:39To open it,
12:40they need to smash
12:41it properly.
12:46See,
12:47they can open it.
12:50Success!
12:54In the crystal clear water
12:55of Rio Formoso
12:57in Brazil,
12:59life is easier
13:00for some Kaputsins there.
13:02Some of them
13:03get fruits
13:04from the surroundings.
13:06The Kaputsins
13:07named them
13:08because of their
13:09relationship
13:10with the Kaputsin monks.
13:12And the Kaputsins
13:13who are fond of fruits
13:14have blessings
13:15from above.
13:19Every time they
13:20fly above the trees,
13:22fruits fall
13:23from the ground
13:24of the forest.
13:30In the water,
13:31there is a special group
13:32of fish
13:33waiting
13:34under the branches
13:35of the trees.
13:40They are called
13:41piracotang.
13:43They are of different species.
13:47And the fruits
13:48that fall
13:49are not enough
13:50for the fish.
13:52After swimming,
13:55the Kaputsins
13:56will rest
13:57on the branches.
13:59That is why
14:00the piracotang
14:01are discarded
14:02for them
14:03to eat.
14:06So that there is
14:07a trampoline
14:08under the water
14:09and they can jump
14:10from above.
14:14Their target
14:15are the fruits
14:16that lie
14:17on the branches.
14:20It's a good thing
14:21that their eyes
14:22are sharp
14:24and they can jump
14:25up to one meter
14:26above the water.
14:28Because of their
14:29celebration,
14:30the Kaputsins
14:31wake up early.
14:33The news spread
14:34quickly
14:37that their food
14:38was stolen
14:39by the fish.
14:42Finally,
14:43they caught
14:44some fruits.
14:48When we are hungry,
14:49it's easy to buy
14:50at the store
14:51or to deliver.
14:52But it's not easy
14:53to live in the
14:54animal kingdom
14:55because we need
14:56to work hard
14:57to feed
14:58and take care
14:59of our animals.
15:00Witness their sacrifice
15:01in the amazing story
15:02number 2,
15:03The Hungry Fish.
15:06This is Galapagos Island
15:07in Ecuador,
15:08South America.
15:11It's a hot day.
15:13The sea is windy
15:15and the water is muddy.
15:18For the Samogsari
15:19weirdos,
15:20this is a
15:21coastal gateway.
15:23It looks like
15:24they will fight
15:25even their own mother.
15:28And what's amazing
15:29about them
15:30is that
15:31the fish
15:32in Galapagos
15:33are not
15:34what they look like.
15:36But don't be
15:37judgmental.
15:40In a rocky island
15:41where there is
15:42very little food,
15:43the fish need
15:44to adapt to the
15:45wetland.
15:48They can do
15:49a free dive.
15:52And under the water,
15:53they use
15:54the strong current
15:55to eat.
15:58Because of their
15:59free diving
16:00and their green diet,
16:01all they need
16:02is in the marine iguana.
16:04They have
16:05the body
16:06of a diver.
16:08If you think
16:09the iguanas are weird,
16:10you need to see
16:11the next
16:12unique creature
16:13that lives in Pampang,
16:15the Galapagos penguins.
16:18They are
16:19pan-tropical penguins
16:20and 8,000 kilometers
16:21away from their
16:22cousins
16:23that live
16:24in the icy sea.
16:27It's hot
16:28and difficult
16:29on land,
16:30but the polar
16:31ocean currents
16:32are cold
16:33and rich
16:34in nutrients.
16:38In the cold water,
16:39there are many
16:40small fish.
16:41In Angkata,
16:42the penguins
16:43always have a party.
16:46The desert
16:47of the country
16:48in Peru
16:50is full of animals
16:51that look
16:52pleasant.
16:54There is also
16:55a tropical penguin
16:56that lives
16:57in the cold
16:58Antarctic currents.
16:59It's weird,
17:00but it's true.
17:03This is their
17:04nesting colony
17:05on the side
17:06of a rocky cliff
17:07that is far
17:08from the sea.
17:10In order to find
17:11food,
17:12they need
17:13to walk
17:148 kilometers.
17:16Who has a trip
17:17like this?
17:18If you have
17:19a weak heart,
17:20don't go here.
17:21In the cold,
17:22you will lose.
17:23And because
17:24there are no packs
17:25to escape,
17:26the penguins
17:27are close
17:28to the predators.
17:29They can only
17:30run
17:31because
17:32they can't
17:33hide here.
17:36And the slope
17:37is steep,
17:38only 45 degrees.
17:42That's why
17:43it's painful
17:44to fall
17:45if you're not
17:46wearing a helmet.
17:47As soon as
17:48you fall,
17:49it's normal
17:50for them
17:51to get hurt.
17:53Finally,
17:54the penguins
17:55find a way.
17:56Wait,
17:57it's not.
17:59There's something
18:00blocking the path
18:01of the penguins.
18:03The big
18:04South American
18:05sea lions
18:06weigh 300 kilos
18:07each.
18:09It's a good thing
18:10that the penguins
18:11have a pack
18:12that's small
18:13in the air.
18:15Because they can
18:16just fly
18:17above the problems.
18:20Oh,
18:21I was just kidding.
18:22Instead of
18:23hiding
18:24in the woods,
18:25the penguins
18:26attack
18:27the predators
18:28without hesitation.
18:30Let's watch
18:31the story
18:32of the amazing
18:33number one
18:34penguins,
18:35Bao.
18:37This is the
18:38cloud forest
18:39of Venezuela.
18:42All year long,
18:43hot and rainy,
18:44the forest
18:45is full of insects.
18:47Many insects
18:48live here.
18:50The giant
18:51black-headed
18:52cockroach
18:53lives here
18:54under the leaves.
18:56But ugly
18:57in appearance,
18:58in the woods,
18:59it's also
19:00a beast.
19:02It recycles
19:03the trash
19:04in the woods,
19:05dirt,
19:06rotten wood,
19:07and more.
19:08Because of its diet,
19:09it can be
19:10the biggest
19:11soft-dryg skin
19:12in a can.
19:13That's why
19:14it's one of the
19:15biggest
19:16cockroaches
19:17in the world.
19:18That's why
19:19it doesn't
19:20get attacked
19:21but not all of them.
19:25This giant
19:26Amazonian centipede
19:27is the only
19:28cockroach.
19:29It's terrifying.
19:31For 30 centimeters,
19:33it can reach
19:34its feet
19:35to its jaw.
19:37There's no need
19:38for a cockroach
19:39if it's the one
19:40that attacks.
19:43It was nixed
19:44when it died
19:45of old age.
19:47It's a beast
19:48that can kill
19:49a child.
19:51That's why
19:52it can paralyze
19:53a poor cockroach.
19:54And using
19:55its unique mouth,
19:56it will eat
19:57its victim alive.
20:01The cockroach
20:02was hit by a stick.
20:04But if you look closely,
20:08something good
20:09still happened.
20:10Because of its death,
20:11the eggs
20:12of many babies
20:13came out
20:14of its body.
20:17Look at this.
20:18Despite its death,
20:19it still
20:20reproduces.
20:21In the end,
20:22things don't
20:23always go wrong.
