00:00There are mothers who are the breadwinner of the family so she will do everything
00:04so that her loved ones won't starve in life.
00:07In the animal world, there are also a lot of mothers like that.
00:09But usually, in order for the mother to feed her children, she has to die first.
00:15Here is the amazing story of Berkeley.
00:18Bentley, it's mom.
00:21This mutant has a lot of names.
00:26Jungle centipede, Chinese red-headed centipede, Vietnamese centipede, and orange-legged centipede.
00:34But for the caterpillar, he is the killer.
00:38He is a killing machine with a deadly poison and 21 pairs of feet.
00:43He attacked the caterpillar, stabbed it, and sucked out the juice.
00:47It's weird with the number of feet.
00:51Did you know that each pair of his legs has nerves that function as his brain?
00:59So even if his head is gone, he can still walk.
01:04But being a killer is not just a trip.
01:08He does all of this for his family.
01:11But before he has a family, he needs to be full first.
01:16And this is where he will use a lot of his feet.
01:19He will use them to catch bigger prey, like this lizard.
01:24His two feet serve as a bait.
01:29He can also use his feet to inject poison into the victim's body.
01:34The lizard is sure to die from the bite of this poison.
01:38In 30 seconds, the poor victim will die.
01:43There are visitors who want to eat.
01:47When he is full, he will lay eggs in the dark cave.
01:52His eggs reach 80.
01:55He takes good care of them.
01:57Aside from killing prey, his feet are also used to guard and clean his eggs.
02:04Even if these eggs hatch, he still takes good care of them.
02:08He keeps them closed while they grow up until he is hungry and eats some of his children.
