00:14Wild boars in the jungle, running wild.
00:24Rain in the jungle, freezing in the cold.
00:30Wild boars in the jungle, running wild.

01:01Even her friends in a house, joining in.
01:06Let's celebrate Christmas magic here in San Mateo, Rizal.
01:10I'm Bignong Dantes and I invite you to join us
01:13in our Christmas adventure here in Amazing Earth.
01:31In love stories, there's usually a big conflict
01:34before there's a happy ending, right?
01:36That's also the fate of our little beetle
01:39that will attract everyone,
01:41just to find the one who will understand.
01:44Come on, bros.
01:45Here in the Amazing Story No. 5,
01:48the one who will never be defeated.
01:52Look for love.
01:55Build a relationship.
01:57Learn to love.
02:00Build a family.
02:01It's simple to listen,
02:04but it's hard if you're different.
02:09They have an important mission
02:13and they will do everything,
02:16whatever it is,
02:19to build the next generation.
02:23Here in Asia's Weirdest,
02:25where everyone is looking for love.
02:39The new life.
02:42He doesn't look like a leading man,
02:44but he's meant to be a star.
02:47He needs to be macho,
02:48and his diet is full of rotten plants.
02:52When he eats enough,
02:54he will start to transform.
02:57He will disappear from the gelatinous larvae.
03:01Due to the limitations of being a pupa,
03:04he is the Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle.
03:07He has a strong arm,
03:09and he looks like a tank.
03:12He also has a heavy weapon.
03:16He's a tough guy.
03:18He can lift up to 850 times his weight.
03:23That's why he's one of the strongest animals in the world.
03:28This is our star.
03:30He has a mission.
03:31Find his princess.
03:33He will start here in this tree.
03:36But he has a lot of rivals.
03:39He needs to defeat them
03:40so that he can be successful.
03:42His weapon is a spear.
03:45But this is just the beginning.
03:47He will continue his search.
03:50And to see the princess,
03:53he will follow the sweet blood
03:56that flows from his wings.
03:59There are a lot of guards.
04:01It's okay.
04:02They have nothing to fight with him.
04:05They are not worthy.
04:08This is another Rhinoceros Beetle.
04:11They will grow stronger and stronger.
04:14They will fight for their territory.
04:16They will try to destroy each other.
04:21Oh no!
04:22It looks like our star is alone.
04:31It's good that his body is strong.
04:34He won't be defeated.
04:38It's now round 2.
04:46And there's still round 3.
04:51Finally,
04:52our star got the right timing.
04:56Finally,
04:57he won.
04:59He's good.
05:01He still has a lot of rivals.
05:03But for now,
05:04all of these are his solos.
05:07He also soloed the princess.
05:09Oh, the princesses.
05:11The princesses.
05:14They will steal his territory
05:15and multiply it as much as they can.
05:18But that's only for 2 months.
05:20Because of his departure,
05:21he will leave.
05:24His legacy is his children.
05:28The new generation of beetles,
05:30like him,
05:31was able to become a Daquila.
05:34Behind every successful man,
05:35there is a strong woman.
05:37The kings of the jungle
05:38have a partner
05:39who also has a strong opponent.
05:41Here is the queen of the jungle,
05:43but she's loved.
05:45In the story of Amazing No. 4,
05:47life is behind the camera.
05:50Asia is home to some of the most beautiful animals.
05:54But remember,
05:55beauty is temporary,
05:57but being unique is forever.
06:00Meet them,
06:01the irresistibles.
06:05The Siamese Fighting Fish.
06:09When the family is talking,
06:11his body is more floating.
06:15He will make bubbles
06:16using the sticky mucus.
06:20He will put it on the leaves
06:22above where the bubble nest forms.
06:26This is the right time
06:28to find a partner.
06:31The woman is simpler than the man.
06:35She has a mark on her forehead
06:36that looks like an egg.
06:37It means that she is ready to mate.
06:40The man becomes aggressive.
06:43He will chase the woman
06:44until he notices her.
06:48He will suck the fertilized eggs
06:52and put them in his bubble nest.
06:57They will hatch within 48 hours
06:59and they will eat their egg sacs.
07:03The father is strict.
07:05He will put the children
07:06who are about to mate
07:07back in their bubbles.
07:10The father is not tired of taking care of them.
07:13His children can only rest in their bubbles.
07:16It is better here in the Mekong Basin
07:18where they live.
07:20Lions are the star of the animal kingdom.
07:26The women are beautiful,
07:29smart,
07:31and strong.
07:32They have a loving husband
07:34and their children are super cute.
07:38They seem to enjoy their lives
07:39in the food chain.
07:42There is no poverty,
07:44but the truth is
07:46that life is not that easy.
07:49At night,
07:50the lionesses start working
07:52to hunt.
07:57They are considered
07:58the weirdest in Asia
08:00because of their love.
08:03In the Gir National Park in India,
08:06when a lioness is hunting,
08:08it is a sign that she is ready.
08:11But this is just the beginning
08:12of a long process.
08:15Actually,
08:16the love is fast.
08:17There is not even a minute yet.
08:21But let's go to the exciting part.
08:24They will repeat this
08:25every 25 minutes.
08:27As long as a woman can do it
08:29even if it takes seven days.
08:35But because it is so hot here in India,
08:37they also need a timeout.
08:40Their chance to mate
08:42is very small.
08:44One in 1,000.
08:47That is why they will struggle.
08:51The males are killed
08:52by the children of others.
08:55That is why the lioness
08:56will repeat this process
08:58to the other males
08:59who go to her territory
09:02after she rests.
09:05That is why her children
09:06will not attack
09:07the males
09:08who are close to her.
09:11The illusion of a perfect life
09:13is really the result
09:14of hard work.
09:17But this is not the case.
09:18It is often feared
09:19or condemned
09:20by the people
09:21because of the fear
09:22of being judged
09:23because of their looks.
09:25But why is it that
09:26most people
09:27have a great talent?
09:29Can they impress
09:30the princess they are training?
09:32The answer is here
09:34in the story of Amazing No. 3,
09:36The Princess with a Curly Hair.
09:39How can you find
09:40someone who looks like you?
09:44Get to know them.
09:45The Resistables.
09:48In fairy tales,
09:49in order to find the prince,
09:51you need to go back to the forest.
09:55There are many of them.
09:57There are more than 6,000 species.
10:01And some of them
10:02are weirder than others.
10:05In Japan,
10:06there are over 50 species.
10:09Here in these mountains,
10:10there is a stream brown frog.
10:13It looks like its skin
10:14is hard,
10:15bumpy.
10:17But there is a good reason
10:18to make it look
10:19beautiful.
10:21Because it is mating season.
10:23Its skin helps
10:24to extract oxygen
10:26from the water.
10:28Because of this,
10:29it stays under the water longer
10:31so it can protect its territory.
10:34Its appearance
10:35looks like a female wolf.
10:36But that appearance
10:37has an advantage over others.
10:39It hugs women tightly.
10:41This mating embrace
10:43is called the plexus.
10:46Do you want to join others?
10:47It stays under the water longer
10:49because of the extra skin
10:50that provides oxygen.
10:53The frogs go home.
10:56Even the old fish
10:57that it ate
10:59is pitiful.
11:03Here at the zoo in England,
11:04the story of this Asia's weirdest
11:06started.
11:09Surprising encounters
11:10at Chester Zoo.
11:12Flora gave birth
11:13to a Komodo dragon.
11:15But she was never
11:17with a male Komodo.
11:20A virgin gave birth?
11:22According to genetic tests
11:23in 2006,
11:25it was found that Flora's DNA
11:27gave birth to Komodo babies.
11:30It was confirmed that she gave birth
11:31even though a male
11:33did not fertilize her eggs.
11:36This is called
11:37porphenogenesis.
11:40How did a Komodo dragon
11:41do this?
11:44There is no exact answer,
11:45but this is the explanation.
11:48Many of the 17,000 islands
11:50of Indonesia
11:51were formed this way.
11:53Dry rocks.
11:55As the number of animals
11:56and plants increases
11:57in the islands,
11:59it becomes full of life.
12:01It becomes an anthropic island.
12:04One day,
12:05a Komodo woman
12:06swam
12:07and fell to the ground.
12:09Wow, paradise.
12:11The weather is perfect.
12:12There is plenty of food,
12:13but there is a problem.
12:16There are no males.
12:18She does not know
12:19if another Komodo
12:20will come to these islands.
12:23As time goes by,
12:26the body of a Komodo
12:27on the island
12:28becomes asexual.
12:32It will lay eggs,
12:33but only a few will hatch.
12:36And because of the different
12:37genetics of Komodo,
12:38all the babies
12:40are male.
12:42Despite everything
12:43that happens
12:44to the babies,
12:46you would think
12:47that their mother
12:48will love them,
12:49but she won't.
12:51The mother wants to eat
12:52the babies,
12:54so she escapes
12:55the babies
12:56so that their mother
12:57won't notice them.
12:59They will be eaten
13:00by insects,
13:01eggs,
13:02and other small foods.
13:05Let's fast forward.
13:07They grew up
13:08and were saved
13:09from their cannibal mothers.
13:11But sexually,
13:12they are already mature.
13:14And there is only one
13:15female on the island.
13:17The ending
13:18is that the mother
13:19and her male children
13:20can be together.
13:22And the family
13:23will multiply.
13:25And multiply,
13:26and multiply again.
13:29But it is not good
13:30to multiply
13:31with a close relative.
13:34The chance
13:35that the family
13:36will have genetic problems
13:37increases.
13:38It is easier to get sick.
13:41But they will pass
13:42the time
13:44until another
13:45Komodo comes.
13:47And in every parent,
13:48the genetic diversity
13:49increases.
13:52The population
13:53becomes stronger,
13:54so the Komodo family
13:56can survive
13:57in their baby-eating
13:58paradise.
14:00In fairy tales,
14:01we usually hear
14:03the happily ever after.
14:05But in love,
14:07the scream is
14:08there is no forever.
14:10The love
14:11of our lives today
14:13is short but sweet.
14:14There is no end.
14:15This is in the story
14:16Amazing No. 2
14:17Panandalihan.
14:18Let's go.
14:20There is a type
14:21of resistables
14:22here in the jungle
14:24that is hot
14:25and wet.
14:26Perfect for the
14:27lintas.
14:29They are usually
14:30in the water
14:31because they can breathe
14:32through their
14:33wet skin.
14:36But the humidity
14:37here is very high
14:38so they are free
14:39to do shit.
14:42Borneo is exploring
14:43the jungle.
14:46What is he looking for?
14:48Love?
14:49Even just a little.
14:51Because their eyes
14:52are foggy,
14:53their hopes
14:54are only for
14:55vibration and smell
14:56of chemical signals.
14:58And after
14:59getting to know
15:00each other,
15:01of course,
15:02they are already
15:03very close.
15:06Their soccer
15:07is a hunting
15:08game
15:09that your partner
15:10will use.
15:11Lintas are
15:12hermaphrodites.
15:13That means
15:14they have
15:15male and female
15:16owners.
15:18They dance
15:19until their
15:20owners are
15:21ready
15:22to let
15:23their
15:24sperm
15:25in.
15:26You might think
15:27that lintas
15:28are clingy
15:29to their
15:30spouses
15:31but no.
15:32They just
15:33get together
15:34out of anger
15:35and they
15:36have a
15:37special
15:38sweet love
15:39story.
15:40Lintas are
15:41all for one
15:42and one for all
15:43in making
15:44their home.
15:45But they
15:46don't just
15:47live there
15:48because they
15:49have a
15:50BFF.
15:51How does
15:52that happen?
15:53Let's look at
15:54the amazing
15:55story number
15:56one,
15:57the care
15:58of lintas.
16:00Insects
16:01are measured
16:02in inches
16:03but their
16:04love
16:05is
16:06measured
16:07in inches.
16:09That's
16:10the easiest
16:11way to
16:12measure
16:13love.
16:14In the
16:15jungle of
16:16Sri Lanka
16:17lives a
16:18weird family.
16:19They are
16:20the weaver
16:21ants.
16:22They
16:23build
16:24their
16:25home.
16:26They
16:27hold the
16:28leaves
16:29and pull
16:30them
16:31closer
16:32to each
16:33other.
16:34They
16:35need a
16:36cover
16:37to keep
16:38them
16:39safe.
16:40What
16:41kind of
16:42cover
16:43do they
16:44need?
16:45Maybe
16:46their
16:47neighbor's
16:48son?
16:49So
16:50they
16:51get larvae
16:52from
16:53the
16:54nearby
16:55roots.
16:56A
16:57few
16:58insects
16:59can
17:00produce
17:01sticky
17:02silk.
17:03They
17:04live here
17:05in the
17:06jungle of
17:07Sri Lanka
17:08but they
17:09don't
17:10just
17:11live here
17:12because
17:13it's
17:14also a
17:15farm.
17:16What
17:17do they
17:18take care
17:19of?
17:20The
17:21aphids.
17:22They
17:23milk
17:24cows
17:25but instead
17:26of milk
17:27they
17:28get
17:29sweet
17:30milk.
17:31The
17:32aphids
17:33are small
17:34and exposed
17:35so there
17:36is no
17:37protection
17:38from the
17:39enemies.
17:40So
17:41their
17:42friends
17:43are ready
17:44to defend
17:45them
17:46with
17:47sticks.
17:48Their
17:49blocks are
17:50made
17:51from
17:52silk
17:53larvae.
17:54They
17:55are like
17:56shepherds
17:57who
17:58watch
17:59over
18:00their
18:01flock.
18:02Their
18:03alliance
18:04is
18:05strong
18:06but
18:07this
18:08is also
18:09the
18:10strategy
18:11of their
18:12relatives
18:13around
18:14the
18:15world.
