00:00Wild, wacky, and weird, they are the mutants that are the product of a long evolution on our planet.
00:06They are part of the second part of the nature series of South America's Weirdest Wild Mutants.
00:15Mommy's eggs are getting smaller and smaller. Daddy's is getting darker and darker.
00:19Mommy's eggs are getting smaller and smaller. Daddy's is getting darker and darker.
00:26Mommy's eggs are getting colder and colder. They are sunbathing while sitting on a branch.
00:37Mommy's is eating an animal that has no teeth.
00:40The mother's is looking for eggs.
00:48The mother's is looking for eggs.
00:59The mother's is looking for eggs.
01:10In the households of the wilderness, the husband helps take care of the children.
01:15If the mother is a working mother, the father is a house husband.
01:19That is also the setup of the wild husband in the Amazing Story No. 5.
01:23Mommy left, so Daddy is single.
01:27One of the biggest mammals in South America is the bird's nest that does not fly.
01:32The Rhea.
01:34In the size of one and a half meters, this is the biggest bird in South America.
01:39Their breed is also fierce.
01:41It weighs 23 kilos.
01:43That is why it is hard to fly.
01:46But beware of its sharp nails and hard feet.
01:52The hungry wolf is not afraid of the Rhea.
01:55But there is another enemy of the giant bird.
01:58It runs so fast.
02:01This is one of the fastest birds on the planet.
02:05This man is not happy.
02:08He is licking more than 30 eggs.
02:13The Rhea is a man with many wives.
02:15And he is the one who licks the eggs of his wives.
02:19Oh, that's a lot.
02:21The Rhea is a man with many wives.
02:23And he is the one who licks the eggs of his wives.
02:26Oh, that's a lot.
02:28But some Rhea females have a secret.
02:31Some of the eggs here are possible that the father is not a man.
02:39These birds are so cute, but they are weak.
02:43That is why Mommy watches over everything.
02:46But there are mothers who are too lazy to take care of their children.
02:49Daddy watches over them 24-7.
02:53Single dads are rare in the world of birds.
02:58He is the one who takes care of the food, protection, and education.
03:03That is why the chicks always follow him.
03:06It is not easy to teach.
03:07The chicks are often naughty.
03:12And in this place in Brazil, it is dangerous if you are always naughty.
03:17Only a few of these chicks will survive and grow up.
03:23Thank you to their father who is ready to take care of them.
03:30With an area of 195,000 square kilometers,
03:33the Pantanal in South America is home to various wild animals.
03:41This is the world's largest wetland or lake.
03:46When it rains, 80% of this area is submerged in water.
03:51But that is still a long time.
03:54It is still the breeding season for most of them.
03:59This is bad news for the fish.
04:01The birds are partying again.
04:05Like the giant and weird bird, Jabira, the tallest flying bird in America.
04:12But this creature does not have a plan like the tall storks that will continue in the future.
04:19The Jabira's dry season is interrupted.
04:23Because this will also end.
04:26In the distance, his wife is busy with the housework and taking care of their chicks.
04:33Unlike the Ria, the Jabira's wife helps in raising their chicks.
04:39Jabira.
04:41While mom is looking for food, daddy is visiting.
04:45Their work is not easy.
04:47The chicks are hungry, even daddy.
04:51It's been a few hours since mommy left.
04:53It's a good thing they have time to pass.
04:57Their nest is located in an apartment complex.
05:01Their neighbor, Cara Cara, is kind.
05:04But the monk parakeets love to fight.
05:07They took over the bottom of Jabira's house and made a nest.
05:13Finally, mommy arrived.
05:16Daddy is leaving.
05:18The chicks are hungry.
05:22Mommy caught the fish.
05:26That is their version of milk.
05:28But mommy's fish is too big.
05:33So she caught it again.
05:34Mommy needs to melt it first before feeding it to the chicks.
05:39Many of us get hot easily when the traffic is slow.
05:43What if our next destination is the slowest animal on our planet?
05:48Will you be able to sleep or lose your temper?
05:51Here is the story of Amazing No. 4, Makupad.
05:54Mommy.
05:56Hot, wet, sticky in the jungle.
05:59Just like a postcard.
06:00But inside the jungle, the bugs are spreading.
06:04Even the crocodiles are not forgiven.
06:10But the white-faced capuchin monkey knows how to fight them.
06:15They spread black and sticky blood from the guapinal tree.
06:21This is a natural bug repellent.
06:24It's bitter here and bitter there.
06:26To make sure that the insects are not close.
06:29They should not be seen by their companions.
06:33Because the blood is not enough for the whole troop.
06:36They are already busy.
06:39The fight for blood has already started.
06:42But not everyone can get it.
06:45So some of them just sneak into their companions' bodies.
06:50Come on, come closer.
06:51The more, the merrier.
06:53Their backs are facing each other.
06:58That's enough.
07:01In the Atlantic Forest, there is a different competition.
07:05If you want to survive here, you should be the biggest.
07:10Or the most colorful.
07:12Or the deadliest.
07:15And if you want to survive here, you should be the strongest.
07:19Or the deadliest.
07:22But they are the only ones here who are sly if they move.
07:26Sly and slow.
07:30If there is a nonchalant animal in the forest, it's probably them.
07:34Brown-throated sloth is their favorite.
07:37The leaves are not very nutritious and not noticed by others.
07:41Their stomach is effective in digesting food.
07:45They have a lot of chambers.
07:46And because they only get a little energy from the leaves,
07:50they don't have the strength to move fast.
07:54But sloths are not lazy.
07:57In fact, their bodies are very efficient.
08:03And they do not refuse to take care of their children.
08:08This baby sloth is only one week old and his eyes are still blurry.
08:13As he grows up, he sees more.
08:22Sloth's temperature is one of the lowest in all mammals.
08:27That's why they always sunbathe in the morning.
08:35Sunbathing is over.
08:37He is now going down the tree.
08:38Hold it, baby.
08:40Mommy is in a hurry.
08:42Just kidding.
08:44He is resting in the shade.
08:49Baby knows how to eat already.
08:53Because of the sun, Mommy's temperature is partially rising.
08:58His food will melt faster.
09:01It's not obvious.
09:03But Mommy is working now.
09:05But slowly.
09:06In the battlefield,
09:08if you are weak, you need to be strong to defeat the enemy.
09:12It seems that's what a wild animal in the jungle discarded
09:16when it felt threatened.
09:18In Amazing Story No. 3,
09:20the coward is the brave one.
09:23Evolution.
09:25This is the endless search for the solution of Mother Nature
09:28to ensure the continuous life of each creature.
09:31There are occasional peculiarities that evolution hides.
09:34Like this tamandua.
09:36It is a distant relative of the sloth.
09:39And like the sloth,
09:41it is accompanied by tall trees.
09:44But the favorite food of the tamandua is usually on the ground.
09:49In Cerrado,
09:51the trees are a bit far from each other
09:54that's why the tamandua walk in search of food.
09:59In this place, it has no protection.
10:01It is nervous when it hears a giant approaching.
10:05It stands on its two feet on its back to look big.
10:10Its nails are sharp.
10:13It is ready for any attack.
10:17It's just a real bird.
10:19It has nothing to worry about.
10:22Let's go back to the jungle.
10:25There is a smell of food.
10:27Let's go back to the jungle.
10:29The tamandua has a smell of food.
10:32Possibly, it is hiding in the paradise of the trees.
10:36Using its sharp nails,
10:39the tamandua tears it.
10:41Inside the trees,
10:43its favorite food,
10:45the mother, is hiding.
10:47The tamandua lured the mother's house
10:50using its long tail.
10:54Because it has no teeth,
10:55the tamandua lured the mother's house
10:58using its long tail.
11:05The tamandua sensed danger.
11:09Fortunately, there are trees around.
11:13But it should not be afraid.
11:17The tamandua is looking for something else.
11:21It prefers the dead iguana.
11:25Even if the cat is angry,
11:27the tamandua eats the dead iguana.
11:29As long as there is a chance,
11:31the tamandua can do it.
11:33The boy bands are very popular
11:35because of their performance on the stage.
11:37Many of them choose them
11:39because of their dance moves.
11:41In the animal world,
11:43dancing is also effective
11:45to attract the attention of the audience.
11:47This is an example in the story
11:49of Amazing Number 2.
11:52This is the altiplano.
11:56It is located in the mountains of Andes.
11:59Life is not easy here.
12:01It is made up of mud, fire, and ice.
12:06The water is salty here
12:09so the animals here have a weird way of life.
12:14This is a viscacha.
12:17It looks like a mixture of rabbit and squirrel.
12:21It just looks like that.
12:23The viscacha is a different animal.
12:25It is used to the challenging life
12:28in the altiplano.
12:30It lives by eating mud,
12:32lichen, and grass.
12:34Spring is coming
12:36so other animals are expected to come here.
12:40Like the flamingo.
12:44They don't seem to fit here
12:46but this place is not new to them.
12:49They have been going back and forth
12:51to the altiplano for half a century.
12:53Their purpose here
12:55is the diatoms.
12:57They are small plants
12:59that live in the alkaline water.
13:01They are not used to the diatoms.
13:03Wait a minute.
13:05Something is going to happen here.
13:07This is what the male flamingo
13:09is waiting for.
13:11The flamenco.
13:14This is a type of courtship dance
13:16or ligawan that is performed in a dance.
13:19The steps need to be choreographed
13:20to impress the ladies.
13:23It is time to show
13:25their dance moves.
13:27More impressive moves
13:29with bigger points.
13:31Some ladies
13:33even dance.
13:35It looks like her hair fell off.
13:41Once they find a partner,
13:43their relationship is long-term.
13:46In the next spring,
13:48they will come back here
13:50to dance.
13:52But did you know
13:54that there is a type of flamingo
13:56in Valenzuela?
13:58Are you afraid, baby?
14:00Maybe not.
14:01If there is no love,
14:03stop fighting.
14:05That is also the opinion
14:07of a flamenco dancer
14:09who was hit by a bullet.
14:11He did not give up
14:13even though he was killed.
14:15This is the story of Amazing No. 1
14:17Undeadly Love Story.
14:20This flamenco dancer
14:22is chasing his dream girl.
14:24But no matter who he chases,
14:26there is always a twist in the beginning.
14:28Did he notice her?
14:29Will he run away?
14:31But there is more
14:33that this flamenco dancer is afraid of.
14:36The Goliath Bird Eater.
14:39He enlarged the plate.
14:41Almost a ruler
14:43is spreading and eating the bird.
14:46But what he likes more
14:48is the flamenco dance.
14:50This man is smaller
14:52and weaker.
14:54And the woman is deadly.
14:55The Goliath Bird Eater
14:57is very strong.
14:59This is also his weapon
15:01against his enemies.
15:03The in-love man
15:05should be careful
15:07because he might get poisoned.
15:09The woman's breath
15:11is loaded with deadly poison
15:13that he can easily inject
15:15to the man.
15:17But the man is ready to die
15:19for her,
15:21for his money,
15:23for his hair,
15:25and for the woman's teeth.
15:29It's now or never.
15:32He used his feet
15:34as a shield
15:36while avoiding
15:38the flamenco dancers.
15:49After caressing and hugging,
15:52the man tied
15:53the flamenco dancers
15:55together.
16:00And he hurriedly left.
16:03He might have a hard time
16:05making a snack.
16:07The woman will take care
16:09of his eggs
16:11until they hatch
16:13four months later.
16:15In the heart of the Amazon forest
16:17in Peru,
16:19there is only one creature
16:21that is feared
16:23by death bird eaters.
16:26It looks like a hairbrush
16:28like a caterpillar.
16:30But don't be mistaken,
16:32this is a claw.
16:34This is called
16:36verticating hair.
16:38It's used to fight predators.
16:40It hurts when it's attached to the skin.
16:42Under its tail,
16:44there are poisonous spines.
16:47If you touch it,
16:49the spines will transfer to your skin
16:51and the poison will be released
16:53and it will cause severe pain
16:55and stigma.
16:57Who would have thought
16:59that their silence
17:01would lead to death?
17:03But that's really what you need
17:05to survive
17:07in the weird world
17:09of South America.
18:23.
