A War Broke Out in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
In my giant cloud rainforest vivarium, I call Pantdora, an unexpected war of creatures broke out, with an unfolding of a epic tale of animals vying to conquer highly coveted land and resources within the rainforest. I was shocked to discover a plethora of animals within the vivarium, each occupying different niches in the habitat as they would in the wild. But this biological experiment opened my eyes to the harsh realities of ecosystems in a way I never before considered. Hope you enjoy Part 5 of our Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever!

ANTS
Dude brought in the whole world with that one tree stump
that stump was literally noah’s ark
True
For real
*Finds a pair of humans hiding inside the tree stump*
Cap ... Bro put every insect in there
I love the fact that no matter how much planning to create a ecosystem, nature already has a plan in motion.
@@Nafi_yft2202if you're big on that then ok. But God made nature and God left nature to her own Devices. So yes it is indeed nature doing her own thing. Not God.

Rediscovering this channel is like coming back to that cool fort you built in the woods as a kid to find a whole castle. Love ya man. Your joy is contagious!
Welcome back!
Same.
I was thinking the same thing. I barely even remember at one stage just seeing a video about how you have to seal off the enclosures and transferring a colony video years and years ago and I just randomly saw this pop up and there’s now an entire Forest here
Ikr
Real
You don’t watch it Canada for a couple years and you come back, and this man has a jungle in his house. This is amazing.
This is exactly the experience I just had lmfao
Same
Lmao same I used to watch his videos every week forgot about the channel because KZhead doesn’t like recommending channels I’m subbed to
Yup
Exactly and this research needs to be shared
What are the chances that an ant guy accidently gets not one, not two, but three ant colonies in his non ant terrarium?
Which stayed patiently hidden the whole time during construction, like Greeks in a wooden horse. They only start exploring after he starts filming. And the termites quietly waited for him before building their tunnels too! Nature is full of funny coincidences 😁
4 apparently if u include the scout and the unidentified ant
ended up being at least 5, lol. Marauders, "Dwarfs", Acrobats, Black Crazies, "Gnomes"
@@VikingTeddy 23:12 he said it himself, he wanted to study ants in a wild setting 😂. So they were deliberately place in there
@@sayanorasonic But I wanted to feel smug!
Ive never been this jealous of someone else’s vivarium before, the trunk was truly a perfect centerpiece
The ants burying their dead was something I never witnessed. Very interesting. And the way you describe the actions of each animal so clearly, makes me have a greater appreciation for them.
I had an ant farm when I was a child. When the ants died, I saw them doing this. It stuck with me forever and gave me a respect of ants that I'll never lose.
@@megan5867 I'm glad I witnessed this on KZhead and not in person, because that would of maybe been a little too crazy for me to witness hahaha. But it reminds me about how we humans operate. We bury our dead also. It just makes me think about how God created his creatures. Like why would they even do that? It serves no purpose for them to waste that energy. But it seems to me that this action pleases God.
@@eiyrie2990 Love in the face of lack thereof is as you said of God's doing, not just humans :)
@@spitt3640 also agreed. Probably something selected for lol
@@spitt3640they also carry the dead away from their colony
The part where they buried their mate. Just insane. Ig burials aren't limited to the human species. It's remarkable.
Elephants also bury their dead with leaves and twigs and even seemingly grieve over the dead similar to humans. They even have funeral rituals where they’ll touch their trunk to the dead body before burial and some even stay around for days afterwards. They’ll become depressed or develop PTSD after their mate dies and can even die from “heartbreak”. Elephants also can and do cry over their dead
when was that? can you give me the timestamp?
@@dukezFRL22:27
Unknown death, burying the ant was to protect the colony from disease or something of that order. Ants have no feelings sorry.
They're not doing it as an act of mourning.
This is going to be a truly special series. Thank you AntsCanada

This is the type of content we need on KZhead!!!! Content with substance!!! Plus it’s very informative and interesting to watch!!! Your commentary is awesome btw! Discovery & National Geographic need to take notes! 🙏👍👊😎
Thanks for watching!
The ecosystem here is basically a normal Austrailian backyard we have here
So much pondering which ants to add to the vivarium in pre-planning and... the wild ants make the decision instead. Certainly interesting watching things come together, both with and without help.
🤣🤣😭😭🐜❤️ Seriously!
Antscanada: Definitely no marauders or fire ants! The marauders and fire ants already waiting in the wings inside the plants/soil: I'm gonna do something called a pro gamer move

@@ghosttwo2 do you think ants aren't wild or something
I don't think OP went out into the canadian wilderness and pulled out a stump fully populated with an entire ant colony indigenous to asia. Not once does he mention any specific plans to add anything, but the entire piece is presented as "oh look! what a coincidence, context appropriate ant colonies appeared on their own without any intervention whatsoever!"@@KaitouKaiju

@AntsCanada I don't own pets especially ants. But I love ur vids. Learning more about wild nature and especially ants. And whenever I meet an ant, I don't kill like other people would. But instead letting it live by avoiding super close contact to the ant.
@@qaissyahiranosman7168 - I don't kill ants but I'd deff kill fire ants if they were somehow in my house or possibly too close for comfort.
@@blessedbeauty2293 well I haven't seen ants in my house yet. So I'm not use if I would kill the ants in my house or not. But I'm sure I would.
Man that burial scene was for some reason surreal, ants watching their own and burying their own. Makes you wonder what they are feeling in the moment or if you can feel it. Like how humans give off heat when they're embarrassed/angry

Welcome back🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
I remember watching this channel three years ago then stopped and now to see that you have made a drastic advancement in your work is crazy
Welcome back!
I’ve been following this channel since 2014 or 2015. Seeing this man go from a kid with a few any farms in his room to a man that has created a true paradise for his pets it’s astonishing. He has educated countless people, lived out his passion, it’s inspirational. It’s like watching your kid grow up and you feel a sense of pride. Keep up all the good work on this channel. I can’t wait to see what you do next
It's been an incredible journey. Thank you for being a part of it! We've only just begun the fun. Ant love forever!

That’s actually crazy how all the ants were still there from the tree trunk. None of them came out? Especially since the tree trunk was hacked at to fit inside the vivarium…none of them came out?
This is wild!! I didn’t realize how much one can enjoy the drama and wagering of ant and other insect life. I’m thoroughly invested. This is ridiculously good and fascinating.

Thanks for watching!
It's wild that you ended up with two species of invasive ants in your setup. The Marauder ants make sense, they were in the stump, but the invasive species probably rode in on the plants. Shows how they've gotten around the world so easily. Human mobility encourages monoculture
@@crackeroverlord2I highly doubt he would choose to have crazy ants and fire ants which are known for completely overtaking areas of forest into the enclosure. Fire ants will literally kill everything in a area due to their numbers
@@crackeroverlord2 Unlikely. They could end up ruining stuff in the vivarium, which would defeat the purpose of it.
@@crackeroverlord2 He literally said he's avoiding to add marauders especially fire ants as they would kill anything with their numbers. He's not a fan of ant wars as well. Clearly just a natural occurrence
People saying that he is not a fan of ant wars after watching half an hour of sheer excitement at an ant war. I dont believe that this is an accident, he seems to be adding ants together to get people watching the "drama"
@@Dan-bn6om i think so too, but let the majority believe it's all coincidence :)

Just wanted to take a second to say Thank You for what you do. Its hard to get my older two daughters to sit down and be interested in something. The Vivarium Rainforest series has them COMPLETELY captivated. The first time my 9 year old actually sat down with me and wanted to know more about how to do what you do with insects and animals. Your videos are edited extremely well and your choice of musical features in the background really impacts the the "drama". Well done, sir.
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
I've never seen your content before but I was absolutely captivated through this whole video. Your passion is incredible and you put Nat Geo to shame with your videography and story telling. Well done. I do have a question, how does the inside of the glass not fog up or bead up with condensation? It's amazing how clear the glass is.
Natural geographic focus on NATURE, not sticking a bunch of creatures into a enclosed space to watch them compete for space. You'd have fit in with the Roman's, going to coliseum to watch a lion fight a bear...
To be honest this channel is the best in my opinion in the category of animals or ants, the video quality, just everything is so good, thank you!

"Everything changed when the fire nation attacked"
This is enlightening - I never would have imagined ANTS of all creatures, burying their own. And here we thought this was an evolved behaviour, unique to humans.
Ants have been around longer than humans. Some even say they were around before the dinosaurs showed up
10:53 i know these ants!! Not sure which exact species but I love them... They form very small colonies which barely reaches maybe 100 individuals... Multiple queens still very small in numbers... They are every where in my garden and completely harmless
Mikey's skill in building, passion with animals, storytelling, and editing skills is so evident in this videos.

This is a masterpiece. Honestly, I have never seen any similar channel like this about ants, and other species. It's so dynamic, the storytelling is great, and of course the picture!

Big thank you and Happy New Year to you and all your amazing small friends!
... National Geographic?
Believe it or not, I had a vision of doing this 50 years ago, when I was 12 years old. Mine was going to be the size of a small house. I remember sketching it out... including some tropical birds and small primates.
@@duMaurier15 National Geographic isn't like this. Nat Geo focuses more on information relaying while Antscanada is more story telling along with his own personal experiences. Nat Geo is outside nature while this is showing a small snippet of the world almost like a sandbox simulation. We get a dramatic story telling of these real life events as well as how it came to be and some cool information on it. We also can pick and decide certain things that happen for the enclosures. We also get really close up views that focus on a main storyline and how everything and everyone ties into each other. (Can't forget the funny voice acting for some of the creatures.) While both are good, I feel Nat Geo sounds like a teacher giving you info while Antscanada is like that one person who tells stories about the world from experience. The same messages, but different deliveries.
Wow, thank you! Ant love forever!
This was absolutely riveting. I clicked on your video thinking I’d maybe watch a couple minutes and see where it goes…by the end I was literally on the edge of my seat, felt like 2 minutes had gone by, and I needed more. That, friend, is incredible and captivating content. I am immensely impressed by the quality of cinematography and editing, and I’m blown away by your ability to weave actual story arcs throughout.

I have not realized how far this channel has come. I remember watching the small colony builds so seeing some of the colonies you’ve build over the years is insane.
This is the first terrarium/vivarium antscanada video I've watched since 2019. He was already doing crazy good work back then, now I'm just stunned. In 2040 he's gonna have a private island where he places his subscribers to watch them attempt to survive his engineered rainforest.
Ok let's be honest, at first the only thought I had was, "Where's my can of Raid?" not expecting to be so intrigued with the video. I certainly was not expecting the level of professionalism and polish I witnessed. This was my first experience with your content and I can gladly say, I'm happy to have been blessed and recommended this video by the YT algorithm 👍👍 As others have said, the quality of your production rivals NatGeo or the BBC. Editing and sound (including BGM) was phenomenal! Lastly, your voice-over absolutely beguiled me with how PERFECT it was with great pacing and a tone that befit a knighthood lol.

Welcome to the AC Fam!!! 🐜🐜🐜🐜
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) ---

Very ironic that all the ant species you weren't going to add are exactly what you got, on accident.
The fact that there were so many creatures introduced accidentally is amazing. It's so interesting that some species of ants will show hostility to each other while being ok with other species of ants. You really out did yourself AntsCanada on this one. Please document everything: the spiders, grasshoppers, termites, all ant species, and the rest of the creatures. I don't want to miss anything now.

Bro I don't know if you're reading my comment amongst the thousands, but this is one of the most special videos I've ever seen on KZhead in years. Your storytelling is incredible and very immersive. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
It looks like AntsCanada has evolved into its own universe, and I am definitely here for it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Nature truly abhors a vacuum, and uses every possible niche. It is coming beautifully. I love the little blue ants.🖤🇨🇦
Nature- uh- finds a way.
A baby blue whale! It must have been brought in with the water.
Hallelujah tree stump is absolutely genius. 3:37
Thanks🐜🐜
OMG, who knew 3 whole ant colonies could be introduced so easily?!?!? That last Jurassic Park quote was amazing
FOUR! there were the dwarf ants too!
Oh yeah! That is just insane @@aogasd
@@godzillamation6914and also there is termites!
The evolution of this channel both visually and in storytelling is beyond measure. Tremendous skill, talent, and hard work...while still maintaining the vlog channel, and touring, and music videos. Just crazy. 🙌
Glad you enjoy it!
i'm very scared of insects, but the way you talk about these guys with such clear admiration and describe how they do things makes me not as scared
I've stopped crying enough to type now so I just want to thank you for such a precious experience. I am amazed by this bittersweet glimpse in to the beauty of life and death. This is my first time watching your channel and I'm honored to be part of the journey from here.
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Another antmazing video! I actually shed a tear or two over the Fire Ant/Marauder Ant death lock scenes! This truly goes to show you how intelligent these creatures really are.
Yes 👍🏻 that was sad 😢
Trulny sad. Bow
Really?
I cried too
Thank you, AC Senator! Bow. Ant love forever!
I hate bugs. Makes me shiver. So im VERY surprised im enjoying all of this. I love your storytelling and filming!
This is one of the weirdest edits I've ever seen.
I think the fire ant was actually challenging in a 1v1 battle the big ant, they are very smart animals and they can communicate clearly.
Bro planted all the ants and termites and rolled the camera like "oh my gawd, i have no clue how they got here, im just a silly lil guy" 😂😂
Either way, his storytelling is something else
my thought exactly
The fact you think he “planted” them is hilarious. You can’t plant animals. And they were inside the log where they pit it there.
I felt that way too
@@iiiisssssaaaaaaccccccI agree they were probably already there but he quite literally does end up planting more species in the next videos
I love this story format, describing the ants almost like medieval kingdoms waging war. Keep making great videos.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) ---
This was like a miniature of "life finds a way" truly beautiful even through the somewhat grotesqueness of it
You are a very exciting Myrmecologist. Your Ants Channel Mikey is so full of actions. This is my first time watching your Ants Channel. You can be an Entomologist. You love animals, too. So many things to watch in your vlogs. Full of exciting activities. Love watching your awesome vlogs. Good luck, and thank you so much for sharing your Battallion of 🐜 🐜 🐜 hard-working, Ants. Very interesting and entertaining vlogs. "Mikey...the Great Entolomogist."❤❤❤
Seriously, why the hell is this not a massive tv series?! Cause dude you create the most interesting content, your voice is just literally made for this and the AC family is growing stronger than any colony. You are a god!
It is kind of surprising that animal planet hasn't reached out to let him do his thing for a TV show.
This is not just a terrarium, this is a full on story. Amazing work, just in everything. The build, the camera work, the storytelling. I’m subscribed now because I need to see how this develops in the years to come.
Welcome to AC Family🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
I was just trying to find out how to set up a terrarium for frogs and found this absolute masterpiece, can't wait to see more of this series!
I was absolutely riveted, watching this video. WOW. New subscriber here, and I can't wait to see what else happens in your vivarium. I'm off to watch more of your videos!
I actually teared up when i saw the marauder ants bury their sister with the fire ant, how they knew not to interfere with the struggle the two would take with them to the grave, and gave the two peace by burying them. Nature and its animals are just fascinating in every regard and will never stop surprising you; even when you think everything is prepared carefully, life has already been 2 steps ahead of you before you realized it.
Sometimes the algorithm gets it right! You sir, have earned a sub for excellent production, brilliant narration, and epic skills in building such a gorgeous vivarium!
Welcome aboard!
Brilliant narration? Did we watch the same video?
@@Zaza_Smoker420:(
@@Zaza_Smoker420let’s see you do better, i’m pretty sure the guy with 5 million subs knows how to narrate a video
He introduced half a dozen species unintentionally, the guy is a chump.
This was awesome. You definitely opened up my mind and eyes to a lot!! Thank you!! Keep going. Continuous, prayers, love and blessings your way and to all those reading this!! Also everyone, just try something new you never thought you would do or even something you’ve always wanted to do that is possibly on your bucket list. Now is the time to live your life!!
Thank you! Will do!

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos, and I don't usually watch these sorts of videos (insects 😂). Not only extremely well done, but drew the viewer in and educated while entertaining. I came away far more fascinated by this part of nature! Truly wonderful, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
