Unraveling the Rainforest Vivarium: A New Era Begins
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 фев 2025
- Journey with me on a full tour inside my two-story, giant rainforest vivarium called Pantdora and Orchadia. The rainforest will be hitting its 1 year anniversary next month, so I felt it was the perfect time to do a complete tour of the lands, its creatures, and updates. One such update also involves a mystery egg I found my yard. I found out if it was alive and the animal that laid it! Hope you enjoy this Season 3, Episode 12 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

@@AntsCanada me to
same!!
@@AntsCanadathank you for teaching us about ants and ecosystems in the coolest way possible! 🖤
@@AntsCanada ant sensei trying to destroy you lol
I turn this series for the seniors at the assisted living facility where I work and they love it. It's become a part of our weekly routine. My kids also adore this series.
Love it! Thank you guys for being part of this journey! ❤️🙏🐜🌿✨️
True, the whole egg thing would be great there. They would forget about the previous episodes.
@@fleshtaffy ???
@@fleshtaffy You must be one of the seniors at the assisted living facility OP is talking about.
@@AntsCanadaI remember the start how has it been almost a year?
The fact that this had been going for a year yet the beginning of the series feels like yesterday speaks for the quality of the editing, storytelling and camera work
Thank you! Ant love forever!
This going on for a year is the greatest mindf*ck of the year, amazing series tho ! Time flies when you're having fun.
@@AntsCanadatells us how little did you know😂😂

@@AntsCanadatells us how little did you know😂😂
The asian bullet ant actually CHALLENGING Snap over a meal was one of the craziest things you've shown in Pantdora so far. What the heck was his endgame lmao.
Some fellaz live in the moment.
Snap should have dropped the meal and eaten the bullet ant then lol
He's putting his life on the line for a potential meal for his colony. They ended up with a leg, so that's a victory for his crew : ) Most ants are willing to sacrifice themselves to ensure survival for their colony. He definitely has some stones!!
I assume to rip off at least a piece? They are dang strong obviously, and he did sorta win that leg in the end haha
F* around and find out. 😂
Omg that little bug falling and having the fading scream added to it was great.
Even though I know the sound effects are added, the timing is so good that tricks my brain into thinking that's the actual sound!
@@Nphenthe sound levels of what he adds are low enough to be heard but low enough to have the right nuance
I absolutely love the POV as a lost hiker/tourist!!! Nice touch.
❤️🙏🌿🐜✨️
@@AntsCanada Keep it up. I have watched every ep for more than 4 years.
Please don't end this series 😢
Same here!!
Tiny lil' hiker lol
I put these videos on for my grandmother with dementia and she tells me about the stuff she saw on your channel and actually remembers a bit more and is less confused
Genuinely I wonder if any developments like that will come for dementia - such as being passionate about an abstract topic aiding in retention, kind of like training a muscle to be stronger or more flexible
@ Probably some good enrichment or something
@@saulisfunny honestly more than that
The power of the mind is so understated
Can even make physical symptoms a reality just by believing it
@@PJOZeus I've noticed that seniors from areas where they're more active members of society tend to keep their physical and mental capabilities for longer
@ fun fact - even animals like cheetahs do this, force elders to be active and participate (even in enclosures without survival threats), all in good intention and once the elder does genuinely slip past their ability they cease the games and take care of them
It’s really endearing
I used to make fun of people waiting a week for a new episode of the tv show they watch and now I am here waiting every week for this guy to release a new episode.
🤣❤️🙏🐜🌿✨️ Thank you for being part of the journey!
Its finally completed: ruclips.net/video/1sqT2Au650Y/видео.html
Talk about karma, but in a good way 😂
Inadvertently told us your age too lol. That’s how it was before Netflix brudda!
Honestly its better production than a lot of television too 😂
This is unleashed creativity at its finest. So glad to see, how free you are. It was a long way, from catching Ants in the yard, to this masterpiece. Never seen any better production, even on "real" TV. Antlove forever
Thank you! Ant love forever!
@@AntsCanada Wow #48 Trending thats crazy you've made it so far
LITERALLY The best channel on RUclips. The cinematography, the editing, the adlibbed storylines and top tier educational quality of this work is second to none. And, at the end of the day, there is NOTHING more righteous than spreading conservational awareness and public empathy for the wonderous world of nature that we all share.
Following christ is more righteous, but wildlife conservation and education is an amazing thing
It's finally completed: ruclips.net/video/gBvcqLSsyDc/видео.html
Hell yeah animal planet needs to pick him up asap I bet you in 6 years ❤
Ok, ok, I agree on the story telling but 30 seconds of Peter McKinnon's Bucket Shot series and you will understand the cinematography is definitely second to many. Still GREAT IMO, but as someone who works in the industry, this is certainly not the bar. Edit not trying to downplay the amazing work he has done. I am just paying respect to those that understand the hard work necessary to create cinematography, which the rawness of this channel doesn't even require cinematic footage, I'd argue its better on the raw side. Like look at that ant cam, epic.
Lol 🤐
Thanks for including the jumping spiders! They're often overlooked, being tiny and elusive, but they're so full of personality and skill that I absolutely adore them!
@@ring-of-roses and they look so cute !
best part of the tank fs. jyst wait till one has kids... rome all over again
I remember when antscanada lived in his old house and had little ant colony’s and such. It has been such an honor to be apart of your journey before 1mil. I remember your video of your new house video and it being built and such. Congrats man.
Building his house is like 1 year ago… if you follow him from before 1 mil. At least a few years🧐
Thanks!
Whattt! 2 months ago and no replies?!?! Lemme fix that!
Absolutely love the tour guide vibe of this video. As someone who is making their way though bingeing these videos after missing weekly uploads for months, it was still fun to watch another full tour/update video
I recently introduced this channel to my nephew who's Autistic 4yrs old(he can read like a champ) and he loves it just as much as I do, to the point it's our Sunday morning routine !!! He has learned soooo much from The Ants Canada Family and now wants to start his own Ant Farm !!!
My 10yo daughter loves it too.
Why don't you go watch some old AC videos where he's dealing more with little ant colonies (and show videos in the time they would have been released - one, wait a few days, another, wait a few days, another etc)
It can be a bit of work, plus actually feeding them or random ants running around the house etc
Just some things to think about before you greenlight that little project if you would
Don’t get to into routines with this guy, sometimes it’s Sunday sometimes it’s Monday sometimes it’s a week off
No one asked lil bro
That's awesome! So great to hear he's so interested in Ants! 😍
Not the quiet scream added for whatever fell when “suddenly some creature fell from above” as Snip surveys the land for lunch! 🤣😂🤣 I actually lol’d!!!
Same 😂
Same 😂
It’s really nice to see the sun skinks running around. They are such a big part of the community.
the skink vs the bullet ant over a cricket's carcass is some unbelievable footage. Unreal job!
The screaming bug made me laugh and rewind like 4 times 😂🤣😂.
No spoilers but yall will know what I’m talking about.
Ants Canada will never fail to amaze me
Same
🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
Ants Canada can we please get an update on the Leviathans
@@AntsCanadathank you for being amazing!
It's finally completed://ruclips.net/video/ZTk9LfLkUTA/видео.html
This is what the full screen option on RUclips is made for!!
It's on my giant TV and it's awesome!
It's been a year already!? Boy, does time fly when you're having fun. I wish you many more years of excitement, wonder, and mystery.
It's ant love..... forever. ❤🎉
I love the detail you go into, foodwebs and the impact even the smallest creature can have on the ecosystem is truely incredible
I’m from the Philippines, and my boyfriend is from the Netherlands. We recently discovered that we both used to watch this show and were huge fans of it back in the day. I never imagined I’d meet someone as passionate about ants-and everything related to this show-as I am. AntsCanada is truly amazing, guys!
Groetjes uit Nederland ik hoop dat jullie veel plezier hebben met jullie gedeelde mier hobby!
@ I’m still in my early stage of learning Dutch. But bedankt!
That’s awesome!
The pov part was so cool. Now we just need a live cam.
This series has become a valued part of my Sundays.
I get to wake up and start off the day by appreciating the complexity of God’s creation before I go to church.
Love your work Mikey. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing, that is truly beautiful to hear! 🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
Jumping spiders on hunting mode are one of my favorites also Snap's scar on his back makes him look very cool.
The big pond is probably the best option for Godzilla, so he doesn’t eat the whole swamp. If the swamp connects to the other 2, maybe you could get turtles!
With in the next 8 months there be more to see.
He could breed guppies for him to eat in the swamp. Goldfish are also cheap.
@richwisndski8275.
I agree.
I have been saying that all along.
And I am now glad that even you have said it.
I am so glad that the Caiman will be going into the 60 Foot Pond eventually! 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️
The pond is a great place yes... but godzilla also love to be above the water. If there is a place above the water its a great place but the picture i saw this episode i think he dont have a much choice to be in the waters... maybe i didnt see a hiding spot above water
@@Rene1989- there's plenty of places above the water for him currently, it was shown that his favorite/preferred is where the mystery egg is buried.
It'll be cool to see borneon leaf fish or archerfish living in Aqua Noctis once Godzilla leaves. Super cool predatory fish.
That’s a great shout 👍🏾
Mudskippers!!!
@@Shadow-jk6ip could we get 2 months inbetween with triops? :D (Sorry, my newest hobby and they just fascinate me)
@@linaskura triops feel, out of place ngl. They live in shallow ponds like paddy fields.
@@Shadow-jk6ip yes, right, I know. Let me dream xD
I am more interested in updates on this dude's vivariums than I am on any new DC or Marvel slop.
True man. We need this creativity and uniqueness.
Ngl that new absolute DC universe is good
I mean that's a pretty easy thing to say considering how low the bar has gotten with all the hollywoke stuff, but I get it.
For real😂😂
The difference between AC and Disney is that AC actually cares and loves their content.
I've watched your channel for years, and your videos are the best I've seen on youtube. Always very well put together and educational 😊
I live in a place where tropical forests are abundant and let me tell you that pov experience was spot on. Except that you will not see giant bugs xD
Its a very peaceful beautiful enviroment especially if your near a river.
I still think you should do a big grasslands extension, like maybe 5 by 5 metres. You could even have some bigger species there, but the connection into Pantdora small enough so they donr fit and cant rampage throug Pantdora. I for one would suggest Tortoises, as I myself just love tortoises
1 Year anniversary??? Already.... WOW! Thank you for a year of fun and education! Excited for year 2.
It more then one year. But it mite be just for this home
He's been doing this channel for years. You should check out his other vids.
Never have I wanted to watch ants before. But here I am, years later, knowing more about flight nuptials than I ever wanted :)
@@Samantha.Blackburn Yes, I have been watching him since the channel started pretty much. But the Vivarium has been a gigantic thing for his channel and been by far the most fun and enjoyable series he has made for me so I am most excited about it and the future.
It’s been a blast! 🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
Wow! As an animal rescuer/activist I am ABSOLUTELY in love with your channel. Wow! This is top tier! So happy I came across your video.
Now I’m hooked and watching oldest to newest until I’m caught up. ❤
I've been hooked since the very beginning. I absolutely love watching every video. And your voice tells all stories so precise and caring. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. Love all of your knowledge. ❤❤❤
Daaaang, 18:58
Little Snap really did get into it with something in that tank, he's all scars and cuteness. I hope he lives long enough to grow his tail back and get nice and big.
😄👍
Snap's battle with the ant for food was amazing! I didn't realize how strong the ants are until that moment. I mean, I knew they were strong, but strong enough for just one of them to give Snap a run for his money? That was really cool to see. Good episode! Thanks for sharing!!
I really want to see a swamp vivarium connected to these because a cave vivarium would be too dark for us to enjoy, while it will be fun to watch godzilla, different kinds of fishes, crabs, turtles, and many swamp dwelling insects. Also, Godzilla will have a huge hunting ground if a swamp vivarium will be connected to pantdora.. then you can add mammals like rodents and two kinds of snakes.. land and tree dwelling snakes. Always excited to see more of your content every week!!
Thank you for sharing your love for all fauna and flora. I’ve been lucky enough to have been watching your channel since the inception of Pandora and it is by far the most absorbing story to follow on RUclips. Superb professionalism and evidence that we humans can care for all. Please never stop.
wooooo another AC vivarium video. we’ve all been patiently waiting
Glad you're enjoying! 🙏❤️🐜🌿🌱
Ive always loved how cute jumping spiders are lol
That ant went up against a gigantic dino and almost won. The balls on that thing.
I wonder if the other ants believe the story he's telling them lol
Worker ants are all female. No balls whatsoever. 😂
Great tour thank you. Maybe get a big ladder and got to the tops of your trees in your yard and find the plants up there for up there.
The fact that Orchadia is not triving at all in comparison to Pantdora show how sometimes you just can't replicate nature and how amazing Pantdora was able to replicate how nature work.
Knowing this channel for over 6 years makes it so much cooler seeing all your success in this series
Right? Been watching since he was in Canada.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... This is the best content on RUclips HANDS DOWN!!! I've told everyone I can about this channel and most are hooked like me : ) MIKEY- You've dedicated your LIFE to helping so many wonderful animals, insects, ants, creatures etc and it really shows. Your passion is unmatched, and your drive and desire to continue to want to learn while teaching us along the way speaks volumes about who you are and what you're doing. Please know you've touched so many souls in the most positive way imaginable. Don't ever stop being you, and know we are all so incredibly grateful for you and your work. You've changed my life and so many others for the better. Sending gratitude, good vibes and all the best wishes your way from St Augustine Beach, FL!
This means a lot to me. Thank you for being part of Pantdora/Orchadia's journey! Ant love forrver!
@@AntsCanada You know it brother! Please don't ever stop being your genuine/authentic self! You sir, are a National treasure and we all love and appreciate you and your work!! AC for life!!!
This is one of the few channels I watch every episode ASAP. Awesome.
Cliffhanger, I love it! Hangin' on pins and needles.
I hope you have kids or friends that have kids, your a great story teller and it would be ashamed for any kids to miss out on that. It's why at 53 yrs old i watch this channel. You pull people in so fast. I think you could show nothing but a pile of rocks for an hour and make up some story that would keep people's attention and tell us the most exciting story about a pile of rocks.. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!!
Snip and Snap are growing up so fast!
The episode we all wanted and waited for. Thanks it was a great journey. Really liked the way you gave a tour. snip and snap are two gorgeous siblings. Pandora is really wholesome to watch.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! 🌿❤️✨️
When ants canada posts exactly when you need something chill to entertain the day with
When Pandora is complete can you do a photo time-lapse I would love to see it
Thank you for helping me nap! Love listening to the soothingness of your voice and sounds effects!
The stories he tells about this vivarium is so amusing
Damn I’ve never been this early or invested into such a great channel. Big props man.
I found this video two hours after it released.
One day later, I’m all caught up on the entire vivarium series up until this point.
Same here 😅 I’m all caught up after the 2nd day of binge watching lol
@ Obsession moment
Great quality channel with zero BS and new adventures every week. I am very happy that I found this place as it was purely accidental.. Thank you, guy from Canada!!!🙂
Welcome aboard!
I absolutely love this channel, me and my son watch it together, we're hoping the two evasive species of ant don't take over 😢
The ground level part was so good!! Please do moreeee :D
Vacuum time Mikey 🤣👌 I love this series, keep up the great work bro 👏
Thanks for showing us everything, this was the best tour ever! I always like that jumping spider, it's amazing what it can do! Orchadia is always nice, I can't wait to see what you'll add to it. It is sad that all of the fish are gone, they were beautiful.
Almost an year watching and manny more to come 😎✅
Thanks for watching!
Showing LOVE for the channel ❤️ thank you for another great video once again my friend. Have a blessed day everyone
I appreciate the support! 🙏❤️
I can't thank you enough for every thing you do and present! It is fantastic!! I've always been fascinated with the N.G. presentations on the insect world, the photography is amazing, but to have you present it as an ongoing rainforest is fantastic!! Thank you so much!! Cheers!!
I absolutely LOVE THIS CHANNEL
🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
@@AntsCanada can i pick up a whole ant colony from the ground and raise it?
Agree
This series is carrying RUclips right now!
This is one of the best videos you've ever made, and probably actually one of the coolest videos I've seen in a WHILE (and I watch a lot of youtube haha). The sudden quietness in the middle from "getting lost" was genuinely quite eerie, but awe-inspiring at the same time.
Thanks so much for making these videos. I'm so glad I found the AC family!! 🐜💚
That grasshopper doesn't know how lucky he just got! A bountiful, beautiful rainforest!
Lucky to be trapped with predators?
@Letsberealish well, besides that part lol at least he'll have a beautiful home before Snip or Godzilla gets him.
How many huntsman again? 🤣
An enclosed space with no mating options?
I love how AntsCanada isn’t in Canada , or about ants anymore. Love it just the same though
20:26 I laughed way to much at the tiny scream!😅😆
Hahaha me too! Probably replayed it a half dozen times.
@michaelerickson7364 same
I am a zoology student and I am loving I don’t know from how much time I have been watching you. Awesome job🎉
Thanks, glad you're enjoying it!
I came across this channel couple days ago and I cannot stop watching. This is so cool to watch. Great job 🤙
I'm glad you like it! I'm having a blast making these videos. ❤️
Hope everyone reading this has a beautiful Day!
Thank you. Same to you
☀️
Thanks. You too, dawg!
Absolutely love the series and everything you do on this channel AC! Please don't stop uploading ever❤
Please Please Please add a shoelace snake 🐍 to the vivarium, it'll be perfect, doesn't eat large creatures and doesn't require as much attention.
Thank you! I really appreciate the love! 🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
I love your series, I look forward to it every Sunday... ✌️💚 To all
You rock!
That sound effect of the "creature falling from above" had me in stitches! aahhhhhh
I appreciate you mentioning the jumping spiders. I adore them despite the fact that they are typically disregarded due to their small size and elusiveness.
Really enoyed the POV part, it felt like I was a tiny creature running through Pantdora! I've watched every single video yet, just seeing the life being lived within this Vivarium always amazes me.❤
It's great to hear that you're so invested in Pantdora! 🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
Godzilla looks so magestic sleeping and chilling in the water like that ❤
I loved the POV tour ❤
i recently went herping in the jungles of thailand and ive got to commend you for having those crickets in your house as they were deafening when enough of them were around you lol
This is absolutely my favorite show to watch iv purchased a ant farm due this channel one day I hope to have something like this ecosystem
Jumping spider is so cool. Lookin like a straight-up teleporter. Absolutely loved the tour, even if I did get lost ;) Snap being big enough to retaliate against his cricket bullies from childhood and turn them into meals, is so satisfying. lol. AND figs are fruiting? this man is straight up growing exotic mushrooms and fruits INSIDE his home?! just... wow. so cool. thanks for making this kind of stuff accessible (and fun to watch, you're a great storyteller). Much love to you, master of suspense.
So fun! Best birthday gift!
Mine too! Woo-Hoo!!
You should make a swamp vivarium but add a passage to a little space for the fish to escape but not big enough for the fish to live in
The little scream from what fell at 20:32 had me dying love the editing as always
Thank you for the update on Orchadia, I look forward to the foliage rework!
I think Godzilla should be moved to the outside pond honestly. His presence was a huge learning curve for all involved but it has made such a huge lasting effect in aqua noctis to not be concerned for pantdora
Hes still to small for that it will have to wait till the swamp habitat before hes big enough to stay safely and secure in the pond
Love Ants Canada Sundays!
Me too, i checked your videos out, Subscribed :D
@@Tom-gt8yy :) thank you so much!
The greatest youtube series on youtube at the moment!
🙏❤️🐜🌿✨️
@ can’t believe you responded! Keep it up dude, I’ll always tune in. My wife is going in for a major surgery soon (cost and 3 years in the making has taken a toll) and it’s kinda bummed me out so this has been giving me the happiness to stay calm!
I started watching your videos two weeks ago, and have already made it through several of your playlists. Your weaver ant, marauders, vampire ants and am currently on video 16 of your fire nation playlist. I am OBSESSED. I live near Toronto and cant wait for July so I can take my two young kids hunting for a queen ant so we can start our first colony together. They are really excited too :) Thank you for all of your videos and introducing me to this world we had NO idea existed. Very grateful for your content! I'm hoping for a black crazy ant colony because the idea of them being potentially millions of years old (due to being able to breed within their own colonies without inbreeding) is very very fascinating to me. Thank you again!
Peace never was an option
One of the best episodes so far. I love keeping up to date with all the creatures' lives and daily routines. Thanks for an amazing video🫡
The starting tour map was awesome
Yesssss. A full tour. Yessssss
This is why I stay up late on Sunday nights! 🎉
been a follower for quite a while now, enjoy the show and my partner and i are always look forward to your new videos.
having said that, we agree that there can be some changes to make the videos more exciting while staying true to your intentions behind the channel.
two suggestions we have: 1) perhaps introduce a unique animal (bug, animal, etc.) every other week and instead of just mentioning it or having teasers to draw in attention (which we find you're doing more and feels a tad repetitive at times), have the episode focus on these new additions. and 2) it would be AWESOME to have still-cameras so you can record even when you're not there, especially for night vision cameras so you can have plentiful more content (and it would be awesome for viewers to see). you've done a marvelous job though so pls keep it up!
I remember this channel from 9 years ago my days I'm old I've started to get back into ants I'm so glad I found this channel
