00:00The time has come for us to find a partner in life.
00:04But sometimes, it's hard to find one.
00:06When are you ready to find the one
00:09where you can reach your heart's needs?
00:13That's how hard our life is.
00:16In the story of Amazing No. 5,
00:18The Unsafe
00:23In the western ghats of India,
00:25a king cobra is looking for his queen.
00:31He'll use all of his senses
00:34to find the one he's looking for.
00:37He'll taste the air
00:39and then transfer the smell
00:42to his special organ on top of his mouth,
00:45the Hobson's organ.
00:50Hmm, it smells like a snake.
00:52Who could this be?
00:53It doesn't smell like a cobra.
00:56A rat snake?
00:58Is he going to look for his queen
01:00or face a trespasser?
01:03It's weird,
01:04but the king cobra's favorite food
01:06is their kind.
01:11He'll bite the victim
01:13and then mix it with the poison.
01:18The poor rat snake is hopeless.
01:21One bite from the king cobra
01:23is enough to kill
01:25an entire Asian elephant
01:27or 20 people.
01:30He'll slowly be paralyzed
01:32until he can't breathe.
01:37That's if the cobra's life isn't over yet.
01:41While the cobra is finishing his snack,
01:43the rat snake is starting to lose his venom.
01:49He'll eat everything,
01:51including its bones and skin.
01:53He'll time out
01:54to look for his queen.
01:57It takes him about a week
01:59to digest his food.
02:03For now,
02:04the king cobra will take a nap.
02:09If you want to find a mutant,
02:12you usually go to
02:14the swamp or lake.
02:17The Japanese tree frog
02:19looks normal.
02:22But he's special.
02:24He's the only survivor
02:26left among his siblings.
02:29He's been through a lot
02:31before he got here.
02:34Just like good parents,
02:36the tree frogs want to give
02:38a good life to their children.
02:42Their textured toe pads
02:44release sticky mucus
02:46to find a good spot
02:48in the trees.
02:50This is where they make
02:52their special foam nest.
02:55They're being taken care of
02:57to ensure the survival
02:59of the next generation.
03:02Who should they be afraid of?
03:06The predators under the water
03:08waiting to eat the frogs.
03:10Most of the frogs
03:12don't grow anymore.
03:15But our queen is different
03:18because she's special.
03:23She's safe and strong
03:25from the algae.
03:27Her front teeth
03:29are growing.
03:31Her front teeth
03:33are floating in the gill pocket.
03:35But it's still hard
03:37to get them out.
03:40Her front teeth
03:42are like a straitjacket.
03:45After a few weeks,
03:47she continues to fight
03:49while her siblings
03:51are taken by the predators.
03:56She's the only survivor.
03:59But our queen has to fight.
04:03She'll stop being a vegetarian
04:06and eat everything
04:08that's suitable for her.
04:10She's already a dead predator.
04:13But there's something missing.
04:15She's not happy yet.
04:17What else is missing from her life?
04:19There!
04:20Love life!
04:22It's time for her to get married
04:24and start a family.
04:26And hopefully,
04:27she'll have a son.
04:29But because our queen
04:31has been through a lot,
04:33her priorities have changed.
04:35Instead of courting,
04:37she's looking for love.
04:39In fact,
04:41she's waiting for love
04:43but she's not ready
04:45for a frog-eating beetle.
04:47Her death is slow
04:49while she's eating
04:51a living beetle.
04:53Oh, what happened?
04:55Our queen
04:57became a victim of others.
04:59What a pity!
05:07The End
