00:00No matter how fierce or fast an animal is, it can also find an opponent.
00:05Because in the heart of the jungle, there are predators that are furious.
00:09This is South America's weirdest predator battleground.
00:16Insects that like to form, are forced to go to war.
00:19Vampires that like to hunt, are targeted by the blood of the insects.
00:36Pigs that like to hunt, are targeted by the blood of the insects.
00:41Crocodiles that like to hunt, are targeted by the blood of the insects.
00:57Pumas that like to hunt, are targeted by the blood of the insects.
01:11To the grown-ups watching now, have you experienced dressing up to notice that you want to get pregnant?
01:18But the ending has no meaning.
01:20This is painful, right?
01:22That's how we feel the beauty of life in the story of Amazing No. 5, Boston.
01:29South America's predators are known for their strength and ferocity.
01:35But there are many more things you can discover about the mini-monsters in the Atlantic forests.
01:42The scenes here are like a Hollywood blockbuster.
01:47There's a love story, action and horror.
01:52To the residents living here, all needs can be met by the jungle.
01:59Good weather, delicious food and plenty of available space.
02:05This community is very rich.
02:09Residents are prepared to live here.
02:13Under the sugar-covered jungle, there are plenty of life and stories.
02:21This mantis is looking for a girlfriend.
02:25Of course, she should be pretty.
02:28His mother said that he won't find a girlfriend if his teeth are dirty.
02:37Hey, what's this? It's beautiful.
02:40His eyes are perfect, with 10,000 photoreceptor cells.
02:46Our mantis is also long-legged.
02:49This is a prey to be caught by the poisonous cockroach.
02:54But they are careful because the sexing reina is a cannibal.
02:58It will bite you to death.
03:01This mantis doesn't seem to accept the memo.
03:06A woman approached him.
03:08Does he want to kiss or eat?
03:12The man waited.
03:15But the woman wasn't interested in him.
03:19The woman just passed him by like she didn't see him.
03:23Pogi couldn't do anything.
03:26Better luck next time.
03:29On the other hand, this mantis is excited to have dinner.
03:34What's on its menu is a raw grasshopper.
03:38It doesn't have any other ingredient but a cockroach.
03:43Mantis' movement is simple.
03:47Step 1, catch the grasshopper.
03:54It's not easy to do.
03:56It's not easy to do.
03:59You have to hold it carefully.
04:07Step 2, hold it tightly so that it won't escape.
04:11And you have to slightly bite it using its slender teeth.
04:17Its skin is crunchy but inside, it's delicious.
04:23It doesn't need sauce.
04:24Just the meat is enough.
04:27Yum!
04:29One of their biggest fears in horror movies and fairy tales is vampires.
04:35But did you know that they are not just imagination?
04:38There are vampires that are alive now.
04:41They will introduce us to the story of Amazing Number 4,
04:44The Mystery of the Night.
04:46It's almost night and one of their biggest fears is hiding in the dark.
04:51Even the mosquitoes are careful.
04:54They hold on to the ends of the branches so that they can get away from their fears.
05:00The rats are also not afraid.
05:03They know that they can't escape.
05:06They are like a vampire bat.
05:09They look for blood.
05:11Using the heat detector in their nose, they know where it can be found.
05:16No one can save them.
05:19No one can save the rats from the camps of darkness.
05:24The vampire bat has an enzyme in its saliva so that the blood of the rat won't boil while it's thinking.
05:31But at least it's a rat.
05:34It should be.
05:36It has a bigger enemy than the rat, the puma.
05:40And not just the blood, but also its guts.
05:42Especially the flesh, heart, and soul of the rat.
05:45The soul of the rat is not that bad.
05:48The puma is already close to the rat.
05:52But the rat is still lucky.
05:55There's a surprise escape and it jumped.
05:58That's why it escaped.
06:00But they still don't give up on the blood-stained rats.
06:05For the panics, the night is still long.
06:10There's still a rat around.
06:12And they have another target, the wild boar.
06:16This time, they won't be able to escape it.
06:19Among the many predators in the South American jungle,
06:23there's only one way for the prey to survive,
06:27to come together.
06:30Its hideout is mysterious and closed.
06:33It's hard to believe that it's already on the ground.
06:37These are the versions of the insects of the Pyramids of Egypt.
06:42Several civilizations have lived here.
06:46At night, they're alive.
06:49There are hundreds of millions of ants.
06:52Grass is their favorite food.
06:56Beneath the ground, there's action.
07:00Everyone is focused on one thing.
07:02Their queen.
07:05She's not just the mother, she's also the leader here.
07:09All the mothers here are from her.
07:13That's why all of them are siblings.
07:16This mountain is strong.
07:20Welcome to their neighbors, the birds.
07:23On the ground where these insects live.
07:27They're doing well.
07:29But up there, there's another border.
07:33The Campoflickers are a species of woodpeckers.
07:37Because there are only a few trees around,
07:40they live in a clay condo.
07:44This is where they raise their offspring.
07:48But the mothers aren't happy with them.
07:52They're afraid of the birds.
07:55But the mothers aren't happy with them.
07:59Because if the birds are destroyed in the wall,
08:02the mothers are sleepy to repair it.
08:05The ground is muddy, and the cement is sticky.
08:10Later on, the makeover is done.
08:14In the world of insects, men are usually the leaders of the family.
08:18But in our next story, the mother is the leader.
08:21Let's go to the amazing story number three.
08:24Gangsters.
08:27This white place is the home of a group of woodpeckers.
08:31A gang of wild animals that love to hunt.
08:35They're very popular.
08:37Plastic, Aguela, Metaglay, Nakababuyan.
08:41They are the white-lipped acaries.
08:44This is one of the most famous members of the group.
08:47A male woodpecker.
08:50But he's not the boss here.
08:53This is the female woodpecker.
08:56She has control of the family and the mind of each member of the group.
09:01The priority of her duties is to protect the whole family.
09:06She's the one who knows where to find food and drink.
09:10She's ready to get dirty, just to feed the whole family.
09:13The whole group attacks.
09:15Woodpeckers here, woodpeckers there.
09:19She's really good at leading.
09:21But there's a twist to our story.
09:24They were not the only ones who benefited from the woodpecker environment.
09:28This was also done by the neighbors of Lang Ibon.
09:33Let's fly to Bandang Note to see where they live.
09:38When it comes to the woodpeckers,
09:41it's not just the woodpeckers.
09:45This is not an excerpt from the movie, The Mummy.
09:48This is real.
09:50Army ants.
09:53With so many of them, they can cover the whole area.
09:59Because of the woodpeckers,
10:01it's not just the woodpeckers.
10:04It's the ants.
10:06Because of this place,
10:08there are more of them than there are ants.
10:12They are not afraid, they are not greedy.
10:15The zombies are not afraid of them.
10:17Even the woodpeckers on the top of the tree are not afraid of them.
10:22They took the larvae from their house.
10:26The neighbors are successful.
10:29But their story does not end here.
10:32Inside their territory,
10:35the baby wasps are fed to the babies of the army ants.
10:41The army ants have built a tower
10:43while clinging to the help of their larvae.
10:47It will only collapse when they look for food.
10:52When the food is finished, the larvae will have their own taste.
10:57Then the tower will collapse.
11:00Until it is rebuilt, but in a different territory.
11:06While they are doing this,
11:08it's equivalent to a marathon of distance they travel in one day.
11:13This is a proven effective way to help the forest of South America.
11:19Do you still believe that if you smell the food, it's surely delicious?
11:23I'm sure the people who are fond of shrimp,
11:25puro, tuyo, or durian are also included in the list of people who are fond of smelling.
11:30The hungry bird in the story of Amazing No. 2,
11:33a meat-eater.
11:36They have their own luner.
11:38They prefer the solo flight in all walks of life.
11:41They don't care about the cold weather.
11:44When it's winter, it's cold here in Serrano.
11:48That's why this open desert is eager to go out.
11:52Others are already sunbathing.
11:55They need to warm up their bodies to be ready for the whole day.
12:00Our bird is already hungry, and it looks like it's enjoying watching the butterflies.
12:05But it still needs to chase them to taste them.
12:08It's so far, it's so lazy, it's just sweating.
12:12It's almost morning, so its body is already warm.
12:16It's time to have brunch and look for a girl.
12:19It's already the breeding season.
12:21It's already hungry and lonely.
12:23It needs a date.
12:25It's already excited to eat.
12:28There are fruits here that it can't eat.
12:32But it has food, so it can steal it.
12:36It's eating the meat.
12:38Yum!
12:40It needs to look for a girlfriend.
12:42More importantly, it needs to be full.
12:45However, its breakfast is smelly.
12:49Ew!
12:51At this time, the heads of male penguins are literally getting hot.
12:54It can raise the temperature of its body by 10 degrees.
13:00To do this, it needs to eat.
13:03This is usually a problem for a stealer like it.
13:07Good thing, it's looking for something.
13:10The egg of Lapwing the bird.
13:13Hey, there's no watch.
13:15It's right, it's close to the nest.
13:17Perfect!
13:19It swallowed the whole egg.
13:23In a blink of an eye, the nest is empty.
13:28Because it's full, it's time to look for a girlfriend.
13:33There, there's one.
13:35Yikes! It's the same zone as its grandfather.
13:38If you're the breadwinner, you're double-checked to make sure the whole family is alive.
13:42All the rackets will go in as long as you earn and eat.
13:46That's the life of a working mom in the story of Macy No. 1.
13:50There's no punishment if you just work.
13:51Just work.
13:56This is Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.
14:00It's owned by Patagonia Puma.
14:04This mother puma is a hard worker.
14:08She's the only one who raises her four cubs.
14:12Her father doesn't help her.
14:16Daddy pumas are very irresponsible.
14:20That's why this mother puma is double-checked to make sure the cubs are alive.
14:25You're not allowed to rest.
14:28Good thing there's overtime pay.
14:30But there's none.
14:32This animal is called guanaco.
14:36It's the size of a small horse.
14:39So don't stand behind it if you don't want to be bitten by a tadjap.
14:45Pumas are very greedy.
14:49This is her chance.
14:51But guanaco are smart.
14:53That's why her attack should be simple so that it won't be noticed.
15:04All of a sudden, her cubs appear.
15:07They're also hungry.
15:11Pumas are not the only ones who will be caught by their mother.
15:15Even the giant condor.
15:17Caraca.
15:20And Andean foxes.
15:23All of them will eat what's left.
15:26So that the puma cubs can eat all you can.
15:32When the mother guanaco is dead, they're full.
15:36Their mother can also rest.
15:39And the guanaco can rest in peace.
15:44There's no more danger.
15:47But by the way, Patagonia is the territory of pumas.
15:52Anytime, they can be a victim.
16:16To be continued.
