00:00If people have their own style when it comes to making love and building a family,
00:04so do animals.
00:06There's weird, there's wild, and there's out-of-this-world.
00:09They are the stars of our nature series,
00:13Asia's Weirdest Quest for Love.
00:17For the children,
00:18a mother who risked her life.
00:26The alimangos in the jungle looking for true love in the sea.
00:30In the jungle.
00:36Horses fighting each other.
00:37A lion goes up.
00:45A small fish,
00:46a good catch.
00:55Millions of Balikbayans marching to the sea.
01:00It's not how long, but how you live your life that is important.
01:03We often hear that advice from someone who has gone through it.
01:07But that's also the belief of some insects in the jungle.
01:10That's why while they're alive,
01:12they do everything to be strong.
01:15Here's the story, Amazing to Find.
01:18Life is like a mother to her child.
01:21Being an inarawang is a way of life.
01:25Life is like a mother to her child.
01:29Being an inarawang is the easiest form of love.
01:34That's the mission of Queen Asian Paper Wasp
01:37in the jungle of South Korea.
01:39Her job is heavy.
01:41She has a lot of plot twists.
01:43First, she has to build a house.
01:46It's made of plant fiber.
01:49Next, she will lay eggs.
01:52She keeps these closed.
01:54If it's hot, it needs a pipe.
02:00Oh no, it's raining.
02:01It's easy to damage her house.
02:05But the mother has a solution.
02:08She squeezed the water from the roots
02:10and then she dug it in the ground.
02:14While the larvae are growing,
02:16the mother eats twice as much to feed them.
02:21Their favorite is the caterpillar.
02:26But while she's gone,
02:27someone came to her house.
02:30The scorpions.
02:32They attacked the larvae
02:34that had almost no enemies.
02:37But they have a weapon.
02:39Acid.
02:41But it's not enough to defeat the enemy.
02:47When the mother came back,
02:48there were almost no babies left.
02:52She killed them one by one.
02:55She has a different plan.
02:58The dead larvae should not be wasted.
03:02She will feed them to the survivors.
03:06When the larvae are ready to transform,
03:08they make silk to form their own cocoon.
03:14It won't take long.
03:16The first generation of workers will emerge.
03:20They will serve their queen,
03:22who will lay eggs again.
03:25In this batch,
03:26the fertile male and female wasps will hatch.
03:30The larvae have food supply from the workers.
03:34Meanwhile, the queen's journey is over.
03:38She's dead.
03:40But she left a lot of food.
03:43Only the big female wasps will survive the upcoming winter.
03:49And the new family will start again.
03:54Insects make a huge sacrifice.
03:58There is also a competition in love.
04:02And in finding a lover,
04:05there are those who are more greedy than others.
04:08The seducers.
04:12If nightclub is Borneo's jungle,
04:15the fig tree is the star exotic dancer.
04:19Its fruits are stolen by animals.
04:22But the tree has no interest in the noisy swindlers.
04:27It's already taken and their relationship with its emu is different.
04:32The fig wasp.
04:35It was raised by an asphalt.
04:37In their relationship,
04:39one will die when the other is gone.
04:43The female wasp quickly entered the small hole of the fig tree.
04:47The ostiole.
04:50It's like a padlock.
04:51While the wasp's head is the key,
04:54only she can enter it.
04:57Their relationship is exclusive.
05:00In the very narrow hole,
05:01her legs should be folded.
05:05She sweated while entering.
05:10The wasp has pollen from other figs.
05:13And she fertilizes this tree.
05:17But there is an alternative.
05:18The fig tree will serve as a nursery for the wasp's children.
05:23There, she laid eggs.
05:25Since her journey is complete,
05:27soon,
05:28the mother wasp will also die.
05:32When larvae mature,
05:34they will make babies.
05:37The male wasp has no eggs,
05:39so they look a bit weird.
05:42After the larvae,
05:43the boys return to work
05:45in the hole of the fruit tree.
05:48The next time they go out,
05:49the females have eggs.
05:52Since they have collected pollen,
05:54they will transfer it to other fig trees.
05:57They will live here for the next two days.
06:01More than 150 species of fig trees live in Borneo.
06:05Each of them has a native wasp that pollinates.
06:09The tandem of wasps and figs is important.
06:12Because 50% of the animals in Borneo
06:14benefit from these trees.
06:17But not all fig trees are kind.
06:21Some of them are also dark-sided.
06:24Just by looking at this wolf,
06:26it is already scary.
06:28There is a rumour here
06:29that it has returned from the dead.
06:32Let's go back to the beginning
06:34of a terrible incident.
06:36This is where the story began.
06:37Eww!
06:39The first wasp, hornbill.
06:41It has a special participation of dust.
06:44The second wasp,
06:46wasps.
06:47They scared the dust of the hornbill
06:49up to their roots.
06:52In the jungle,
06:53the ground is rarely bright.
06:55That's why the luck of the fig seeds,
06:57they reach the tuk-tuk.
06:59This is their advantage in other trees.
07:02When the seeds grow,
07:03it goes straight to the ground,
07:05about 30 meters deep.
07:09But let's go to the exciting part.
07:12The roots of the fig will sink
07:14in the pitiful tree that looks like it's being stung.
07:19And the calamity of the tree is not yet over.
07:22The tree steals the leaves of the fig
07:24in broad daylight.
07:26Even the tree on the ground,
07:28its roots were stolen.
07:30And the tree itself was destroyed
07:32because of the hard branches.
07:34That's why it's called
07:36Strangler Fig.
07:38Because of the calamity,
07:40it died.
07:43Over the years,
07:44the tree was rotten
07:46and the heart of the Strangler Fig was left.
07:49Filipinos,
07:50wherever you go in the world,
07:52will come back to the Philippines.
07:54Especially if there's an occasion
07:56like the graduation of a child,
07:58birthday, or Christmas.
08:00I know some of the residents of Gubat
08:02but they still come back to the sea
08:04where they were born.
08:06We met them in the story of Amazing No. 4,
08:08Manikbayan sa Talapas.
08:10These are the Christmas Islands
08:12in the Indian Ocean.
08:14Since the rain,
08:16the search for a boyfriend
08:18of the Christmas Island crabs has also started.
08:21They are silent all year long
08:23just eating dry leaves
08:25and grass.
08:27But now that it's raining,
08:29it's time for a party.
08:31They all go to the beach
08:33and they only have one goal.
08:35Sexy time.
08:37The boys are together.
08:39They're a bit nervous.
08:41Millions of people will go to the beach.
08:43Thanks to the cold weather,
08:45they're always fresh.
08:47Perfect condition for traveling.
08:49But there are also many dangers
08:51in the environment
08:53like cars passing by.
08:55Many of the crabs
08:57get wet.
08:59The dead make snacks.
09:01And next,
09:03the deadliest,
09:05yellow crazy ants.
09:07They were brought here by accident
09:09from Africa.
09:11Crabs are their favorite snack.
09:13They immediately attack.
09:15They spray acid on the eyes and mouth
09:17of their victims.
09:19The crab population
09:21that used to be 70 million
09:23has dropped to 40 million
09:25since the crazy ants
09:27arrived here.
09:29While busy eating
09:31the crabs,
09:33other crabs have escaped
09:35and reached paradise.
09:37They can now
09:39surf here.
09:41But why aren't there any girls?
09:43What a joke.
09:45They were born in this sea.
09:47It's time
09:49to clean their bodies
09:51and freshen up their bodies.
09:53It's like they're back home.
09:57It's been a long time
09:59since the crabs left the sea.
10:01That's why
10:03they're not welcome here.
10:05The survivors
10:07will return to the shore
10:09to feed the people
10:11where they'll wait.
10:13I think they're here.
10:15There are five girls.
10:17They're coming here.
10:19Both of them are men.
10:21They arrived
10:23in the new phase of the month.
10:25They're looking
10:27for a male partner.
10:29This is a sexy time.
10:33But there's no
10:35forever anywhere.
10:37The boys need to go home.
10:39The girls have
10:41an assignment to finish.
10:43They need to catch
10:45100,000 eggs.
10:47They can only do this
10:49in the sea.
10:51While the waves
10:53are crashing,
10:55they'll release
10:57100,000 eggs.
10:59Finally,
11:01their mission is over.
11:03They can go back
11:05to their quiet life
11:07in the jungle.
11:09Next year,
11:11the feeling of a boy
11:13is like a horse.
11:15He's like a horse
11:17to the boys.
11:19He's so handsome.
11:21Let's find out
11:23in this story.
11:25In the run of catch
11:27in India,
11:29there's a wild ass
11:31who has an extreme.
11:33The locals call him
11:35Bundia.
11:37Wild ass kids are naughty
11:39like Bundia.
11:41He used to love to race.
11:43At a speed of
11:4565 kilometers per hour,
11:47his companions are
11:49amazed at him.
11:51He's the king of this territory.
11:53Even the chicks
11:55are amazed at him.
11:57Bundia looks like a kid,
11:59but he's actually old
12:01and weak.
12:03He doesn't have a tail.
12:05That's why he doesn't
12:07have a tail.
12:09There's a new species
12:11in this area.
12:13They have white teeth
12:15and strong muscles.
12:17He's the one
12:19that's being harassed
12:21by the girls.
12:23That's why Bundia
12:25only eats on one side
12:27and is jealous
12:29of the younger wild ass.
12:31But sometimes,
12:33being aggressive
12:35can be dangerous
12:37because he's too strong.
12:39There, the chicks
12:41are chasing him.
12:43Wait, it looks like
12:45Bundia is planning something.
12:47It's already afternoon
12:49before the young wild ass
12:51succeeded.
12:53He's tired.
12:55Oh, where's Bundia going?
12:57He entered the territory
12:59of the young wild ass.
13:01He's like a seal there,
13:03but he won't be chased
13:05by the younger wild ass.
13:07The chase has already begun.
13:09Bundia chased the young wild ass
13:11away from the girls.
13:13He's smart, isn't he?
13:15The young wild ass ran
13:17for more than a kilometer
13:19before it stopped
13:21because it was too tired.
13:23Bundia will return
13:25to the territory of the girls.
13:27These guys are tougher.
13:29The man is old.
13:31The young wild ass
13:33will be a father again.
13:35The next weirdo
13:37from Asia
13:39is named
13:41after the famous
13:43cherry blossoms of Japan.

16:42It's a good story.
16:44It's a good story.
16:48bestiendo
16:51Let's go back to the eggs of the Christmas Island crabs.
16:56After being caught in the Indian Ocean, they were also quickly hatched.
17:02The larvae remained in the sea for a month.
17:06But something went wrong here.
17:10The lucky ones who were able to return to their ocean transformed and became small crabs.
17:17Their journey in the sea began.
17:19With the help of their instincts, they knew where to go.
17:26The problem is that there are some crazy ants.
17:30The crabs are a big threat to the survival of the crabs.
17:35The crazy ants are just one of the challenges they will face in the next four years.
17:41But their journey continues.
17:44It's a bit of a weird strategy, but they made it here, so why not?
17:50Think about it, maybe this doesn't help.
17:54Or maybe it's funny.
17:56But since they're still alive, maybe it's effective.
