I Released an Apex Predator into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 ноя 2024
- I created my dream tank, a 1000 gallon cloud rainforest vivarium, called Pantdora, and it's purpose is to study how tropical ants and other exotic creatures live in the wild. I already added an initial team of animals into the terrarium, but it was missing a very important player in the food chain: an apex predator. In this episode, we release my chosen apex predator into the Pantdoran rainforest, and the result was pretty awesome. Hope you enjoy this week's episode, Part 7 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

"they are like mini versions of their parents, whom..are all dead" lol Line caught me off guard
I had to run that line back too😂
That made me laugh too 😊
He should add a small albino catfish in the water section they grow slow but if it gets bigger you can always replace it with a smaller one from the pet store, i feel like a hunter like catfish will really make a difference as they eat cockroaches very well
bit morbid
didnt know you watch this channel toast im a big fan lol
I always wondered how people watching an insect channel would have arachnophobia, but then I remembered AntsCanada has a fear of worms sooo 😂
Having a phobia doesn't mean you can't watch them. I have arachnophobia and I can let spiders crawl over me, just like AntsCanada fears worms but still handles them. Fear is to be conquered, never let a phobia prevent you from enjoying the marvelous insect world.
@@EmperorAugustus-wf3zpbro says his content is better and only has 3 shorts and 5 subs
Nobody knows you now be quiet
Patriarchy is what separates humans from spiders

I have an extreme arachnophobia and yet still love these videos, though I have to look away anytime they are on screen (and despite wishing for many reasons not to have this phobia, I am not ashamed of it as fear is a natural instinct). I disagree with other commenters on here, I know not all (especially the extreme) phobias can be beaten or ignored despite what people say sadly, however, I can still love and enjoy insects like ants and other animals massively, I am even studying zoology at university! (Plus to your point, arachnids are not insects they are separate groups)
Bro is literally kidnapping insects and dumping them into the hunger games
LMAO
I think they stand a better chance in Pandora than in nature and I wouldn't compare this to the hunger games your humanizing insects, and its been clearly stated it is being documented as a scientific evaluation as well.
I personally used to hate every insect until I ran into this channel, I really think that this is a great way to learn about nature by slicing it and in this sense this person has considered every aspect so that it wouldn't be a total blood bath.
You have to respect the planning and the initiative put into this...hunger games no, a great way to understand what happens in nature, usually caused by humans anyway and using nature to balance it seems a great way for people to see up close the consequences of our own actions.
But that's me #justsayin because I will agree to disagree with your comment.
@@vanierstreetcats4929pretty sure he was just making a joke, but I thoroughly enjoyed your take /breakdown on it.

I would love a 1-3h video of just animals foraging. No need for commentary or excessive editting, just chilling with the animals lets say.
Absolutely love your content and you have inspired me to pick-up antkeeping and incorporate more insect friendly options in my garden at home!
Came for the vivarium update, stayed for the spider p*rn
💀
i busted out laughing when he said the girl spider was now on top lmao
Real
Bro😂
do male spiders watch this during their free time? are you a spider?
You've so knocked it out of the park with this series. I can't even fathom the amount of work you put in to this. I believe this will go down as a truly legendary RUclips series. So so so happy for you and to watch your mini world grow
Thank you! ❤🙏🐜 Ant love forever!
Absolutely!
i’ve been a big fan of watching other channels make these vivariums, but pantdora is absolutely the largest scale vivarium i’ve seen on youtube, props to you for doing all the planning, editing and narration, feels like an off-brand discovery channel and i live for it
Thank you! Ant love forever! ❤️🐜🙏

Gotta say, if I met AntsCanada out in the world, my last thought would be that this jacked guy with a slicked back coif must be an avid nature and terrarium enthusiast. Never judge a book by it's cover and never change AntsCanada. Everything you do on this channel is fascinating, entertaining, informative, and cool as hell!
Thanks for watching!
Completely rivitating!
You wouldt know he can sing like a mofo too
I think about this often, its amazing how complex humans are with their interests and hobbies
You'd wake up next day in the vivarium 😂
Utterly insane the number of future entomologists this man has produced
AntsCanada and Roanoke Gaming are by far the best biology RUclipsrs on the platform
I want to believe you, but did he really? Or is it just people watching the videos and thinking they are basically entomologists now?
@@Ezullofhe meant future,Basically he meant younger people who watch it will want to be a entomologist when they are older
I know 🐜
I mean I am considering going into myrmecology while working on my zoology degree sooooo
Could we eventually see a 24hr livestream of Pantdora? I love seeing the animals go about their day, and being able to tune it whenever to see how theyre doing would be a delight!
Thank you!

with how big the place is, itll be hard to see them. but he did say he might do it

@@MyCracker1234 I regularly do! However here in England the diversity of life isn't as much as what's shown in the video. Also it isn't nearly as pretty 😂. It's mostly for when I have work to do when I'm inside, and I can keep it on the side.
this is by far one of THE MOST interesting series on YT. I'm absoulutelly addicted to watching an entire episode as your narration really completes the entire airtime. I feel like I'm watching early 2000's animal planet again. Its stunning and incredible to watch..
Missing the old days of Profiles of Nature. 😢 Wanted to bring that wonder back! Thank you. Ant love forever!
only 5 like let me change that@@AntsCanada

24:55 dude was straight up “behold my chosen creature, I bestow a garden of Eden upon you.” God monologue
Bro did you not see him HAAAASAVANYAAA that mfer five seconds in?
That's it. The universe is a single vivarium, and an alien took us from our original home to drop us in here and watch.
This whole show is this dude being a mad god. His shots of him lording over the vivarium, throwing the animals in like pokemon. Dude is totally hyping up the whole, "god" dynamic.
I am highly invested in this vivarium's story! Over the past several months, I've used your videos as a way to desensitize myself towards insects and even grow to love them through your stories. Watching the huntsman mating was hard but it felt good to push myself out of my comfort zone. That experience was greatly enhanced by your commentary on the huntsman life cycle and the great honor you give each animal that is part of Pantdora. This is probably one of my favorite videos on your channel.
Same here, i have a huge fear of spiders and many other insects and his channel over the years has really helped a lot . I’ve been watching since the Goliath Beetle Era i think. Those were cool
OMG, I cannot wait for you guys to see the newly stocked and improved pond water system!!! It's so cool!
add frogs
Teasing broo
And let me guess, the lizard is no longer the apex predator 😂
cool@@unlocked420
Add frogos
It’s so funny how the apex predator was terrified of you thinking that YOU were the apex predator. Not realizing that you are actually god.
😂
Welcome to the PARADISE
Lol
Haha "god" 💀
not realizing that the youtuber is actually worm food.
As an aquarist myself, I am very excited to see how life in the pond area evolves.
Frogggggs!!! 🐸
Hell yeah archerfish would be perfect

My man, your work belongs on Nat Geo. I don't even like insects or spiders etc. Subbed instantly. Absolutely fantastic. Award worthy. I particularly enjoy the narration as you can feel the love he has for what he's doing. And THAT is amazing. Your world is beautiful, educational and awe inspiring. THANK YOU. ❤
Yeah he does an amazing job, I'd be surprised if he hasn't or doesn't eventually get contacted by a network like that. There are plenty of scientists out there that may have more knowledge, but many are severely lacking in personality. He's got a good mix of both.
His passion and enthusiasm just ooze from the videos. If this were done by netflix or discovery it would be so painfully sensationalized.
This is the top notch quality of entertainment you get from someone who loves what they do. Really interesting to follow along on this series!
🙏🐜❤️
15:30 my boy was busting straight NUTS😂
"Doesnt matter, had sex" his last words

Not been here in a while and I’ve came back and see a lot has changed that the tanks are now at the point that they are a giant living entity you have to make offerings to.
Jeez what have I missed.
On a side note, I just want to thank you and your community for everything.
The work you do is fantastic it’s literally the best, along with your community; it’s super friendly.
This channel has got me through some tough times, it kept me grounded, it relaxed me, it helped me, I used your voice as ASMR and helped develop a decent sleeping pattern for the first time in about a decade.
It reignited my interests for nature and helped me to develop a hobby to keep me busy, keep me relaxed and my stress levels down.
When times were tough I’d come and watch and feel like it was normal again that I had not a care in the world.
I just want to say, I’m a just over a year clean after about 15 years of hell and I am now building my life back together.
Your channel really helped me in the dark days and especially to get through that early period of change.
I just want to thank you AntsCanada, for all your hard work and everything you’ve done for me and much love to you and your community.
All the best for the new year.
Good to see you on this side of the coin! It’s great to have you honestly, currently my girlfriend (not trying to out her, I know how important anonymity is here) has had issues with addiction since early high school, so these kinds of stories always resonate with me. Genuinely makes me happy to know you’re doing okay, one day at a time ☝🏻
Same! I used to watch this channel a couple years ago, then came back a few weeks ago, saw this and was like “woah! What?!”. And now I click on every new video release the second that I see it!
This is only the second video I have watched and mentioned to a friend I was watching and he said he's been watching you since the beginning but assumed I already watched so never recommended. I've never been so annoyed yet proud that a friend assumed good taste.
Loving these and going to go back through the entire series.
This has been my favorite series I’ve discovered recently. I eagerly await these videos now! Amazing stuff
Thank you! Ant love forever!
this stuff has the value of a full scale nature documentary, right there in your house. this feels like something that would show up right next to a david attenborough documentary
Not sure this is comparable to a BBC David Attenborough documentary - 4K ultra high definition, Hans Zimmer composed music, multi location and million dollar production budget. Sure it’s pretty good but come on don’t kid yourself or him!
Thank you! I appreciate that. Ant love forever! ❤️🐜🙏
This series is by far your best yet. From the editing to the drama to the music to, of course, the giant vivarium. Your passion really comes through in these videos. Excellent job, I look forward to this series every week!
🙏🐜❤️
I feel like Mikey is falling into a god complex because of this vivarium and is slowly losing control over what’s inside and what’s not. Honestly the perfect situation for a vivarium.
Just like reality. god lost control of his tool (evolution) and we are partialy responcible (dogs)
@@gameking30candy28 yeah the difference is his world doesn’t have sin and gods world does, so this has turned out slightly better I think, at least for the nature inside
I've watched this dude off and on for years and there was always the mad god/god complex vibe, but recently these vids have just leaned so far into it.
If these animals were more intelligent I would be upset, but because they are insects I am kinda ok with it. Dude just wants to be a god over ants and honestly it's amusing.
Playing sandbox and having so much control can do that to you lol
@@hhjhj393did u not see the multiple lizards ? it’s a lil more than some insects 😂
The panning shot when the spider is webbing the roaches is sinister. Love it! Such an inspiring project. I bet you’re having a great time with it. Super happy for you! ❤
I shouted and threw my arms up while editing that part! Ant love forever! ❤️🐜🙏🕸🕷
Welp, after watching these I am officially hooked. I don't ever watch TV hardly, I don't have "my shows" like most people, in fact this would be the first time in probably 15 years I am anxiously awaiting a new episode of something. Great job all around!
❤️🐜🙏 Welcome to Pantdora! Ant love forever!
Same here my friend ❤❤❤
I love how you described the skink as the speed predator, felt like he was a once small and weak creature, that you’ve brought into the vivarium to become it’s omnipotent god
This is some wholesome entertainment for my kids and I. My son is 3 and is obsessed with bugs and animals and being outside, and watching this is so much healthier for him than most kids cartoons
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
I am not a big insect fan, but seeing thier world upclose helps understand them better. Thanks for making these videos!
I would 100% 3D scan the whole tank and export is a map to the community, place the locations of different animal’s nests
14:42 Yea, he "massaged" it alright.
I'm so glad this popped up in my feed. I'm immediately hooked!
BRO! You are insane the amount of work, research, time, and energy goes into this channel anymore! I seriously don’t know what you could do next to top yourself! It’s going to get to the point where if you don’t buy an entire mini island somewhere in the tropics that’s needing some more flora/fauna and make an entire AC Island we’re going to be disappointed!!! LOL! You are seriously living the dream and have inspired me to start my own palladarium. It’s pretty basic, because I’m not the most set up financially, but I start a new job in a few hours (your video is preventing me from sleep lol) and I am going to be getting more hours and money, and I have big plans for bigger projects so I can hope to work up to your level and get a 500 gallon tank! Thanks for all you do for the ants and your viewers. I will be donating to your channel too which is a first for me!
Thanks for watching🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
I gotta say your camera work is extremely impressive, getting such high quality footage of such small things mating is something I'd expect to see from professional filmmakers like those from National Geographic or PBS documentaries. Might you actually have such people working with you? If not, it's very impressive that this filming was done by one enthusiast :o
A sun skink was definitely a good choice. Due to its size and temperament it’ll be a great fit.
@KarlsRevengeWhat animal abuse?
@@sandrastreifel6452 he's a bot and an idiot
@KarlsRevengeyou posted cringe
The actual overall beauty of the Vivarium is stunning as its creating itself, its not just the insects and food chain your balancing but the evolution of this tiny slice of Mother Nature in action that makes this so thrilling.
No one would ever be able to see this in the real world without a lot of hours of filming and photography to create lapse video. I am captivated by the natural design that has evolving as you balance the flora and fauna, you can see the distinct growth and changes in the environment every upload.
Every episode is even more fascinating than the last, I am very intrigued by your project, its incredibly riveting.
Thanks for watching!🐜
I just realized that I've been watching for over 5 years now! It's been amazing to watch you grow as a creator and the level of production you have reached in that time! I'm sure this sentiment is shared amongst your subscribers that we're proud of all of the work you have and continue to put in. This Vivarium is such an incredible accomplishment, and I look forward to see what you tackle in the future!
Also, thanks for the up close on arachnid reproduction lol I'm not a fan of spiders whatsoever, but I continue to learn more about them, and other insects, through you!
this is award worthy production, legit feels like im watching animal planet or discovery channel. i feel like a kid again i love this.
I’ve been enjoying this series more than what’s on Netflix 😂

I shed a few tears at the end, I had zero clue you were aware of the man the myth the legend: Brian Barczyk. It was very kind of you to dedicate this video to him.

5:47 "They are tiny versions of their parents whom .... are all dead"
So glad I found this! I’ve never been interested in insects, but these videos are so compelling.
15:00 You do realize that you may have changed what scholars know right? This is incredible and amazing.
I was reading about how it is said spiders mate, i.e. the emboli grabbing sperm and delivered to the female via a webbing which she takes in, but as you can see in the video that is not what happened with these huntsmen at all. I knew the footage might possibly be helpful to arachnologists so I have kept all the raws, 30 mins worth of huntsman spider breeding.
Can't wait to see the aquatic creatures you add to the pond and how they help the ecosystem
Frogs....

Your dedication to your craft to your youtube journey on all your channels is unparalleled. Great job can't believe how cool everything looks and how much you and your projects have grown!
I used to think I wanted a whole wall aquarium, now I know what I really wanted was this! I have several terrariums, one of which is 16 years sealed and going strong. But this! This is just amazing!
that's awesome to have a 16 year old terrarium!
16 year old like self sufficient?
The 2 spiders mating was hard to watch. That was alot of moving legs at once 😅🥴
I respect this dude's dedication to educating us
Okay but the speech about the apex predator and this being his home was truly beautiful. It hit hard
Thanks for watching!
He stole him from his actual home and tossed him into a poison ant pit.
Not only is the ecosystem mind-blowing, but the way you capture and convey these events is genius!
Yeah I agree this guy is crazy good at this.
Thank you. Happy you are enjoying the series. Ant love forever! ❤️🐜🙏
i think it would be really cool if you started filming the vivarium for a future timelapse video. it'd be super cool to see how the ecosystem builds itself over a couple weeks or months, and i'd really like to see how the vines actually move.
I want a livestream of it as a background
As I've said before, this is now my favorite wildlife documentary. Commentary and the close-ups are fantastic. The only subscription where I immediately watch a new video.😍

Spiders freak me out and I'm pretty sure this video only made that worse, but I ended up staying through the whole thing because of your editing & video style, great work keep it up
Better than many shows out there, we have drama, great story telling, cinematography, entertaining, informative, character building, villas and good guys and always a cliffhanger. Great job :)
And just like many shows out there, he reiterates too much and we end up with just a small piece of new information each video. He really doesn’t need to go over why and what something is twenty times then end on a cliff hanger about the topic he promised to go over in the intro.. I love his work but I really wish he didn’t do what 90% of animal planet shows do, the ads make it even worse.

Each week a new 30 min episode! I’m all for it
Man I really felt a lot of emotion about nature after watching this video. I really love nature and I feel we should do everything possible to make our beautiful planet a better place to live. And uk I really felt like our human race should continue to exist and thrive along with other species on this planet. Thank you for this amazing series.
This belongs on an actual show like Animal Planet - the cinematic shots, the music, the narration, and knowledge behind this ecosystem. It all comes together to make something entertaining for anyone of any background. Great job AC.
Can't believe you got your spiders to mate! You must really know your stuff about their environments and they must feel totally at home. I hope those ants are a new species. Always awesome 👏👏
This is far better than any shows on streaming platforms or tv lol. You really created something special here.
watching these videos is like seeing a God staring at their creation
Bro, I used to be afraid of Spiders and Insects.
Now I am just mesmerized by the Beauty of their Nature.
It does something inside...It's almost as if I can connect to nature inside myself, watching your small World thrive and change so drastically.
It makes me more and more aware of Change being a very natural part of Life.
This is absolutely amazing, Dude.
Thank you for sharing your Passion with me!
The arachnophobia warnings are actually so helpful, I love watching these videos as I’ve always been interested by documentaries and nature videos, I simply cannot handle spiders though, and forcing myself to glimpse at them from time to time has been helping me get over it. Thank you again AntsCanada
🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷
Love the little tribute to Brian at the end bud 💚 lovely show of respect
This series is your best yet by the way, it’s truly beautiful and fascinating, I bet even you’re hating the wait between uploads 😅
Haha thank you for answering the question of your geographical location in "tropical forest Canada," i had been wondering at that to the point of preoccupation but now it makes so much sense...i don't often find a reason to watch YT on my dad's big tv, my phone is fine, but i think it would be marvelous to see this detail on a 60" screen and i think my folks would like it too
Thank you! Ant love forever! 🙏❤️🐜🌿
Dude I've been watching you since your Canada days and I've got to say that you never cease to entertain and educate. You have only gotten better over the years and I love your enthusiasm. Keep it up! We love you!
The most hilarious part of this episode was the skink v grasshopper. In a tank with such regular brutal violence to see the skink carry off the grasshopper and then for the grasshopper to just be fine later got a genuine laugh out of me.
All your videos are great... but this one was exceptional! It's so great to see the channel continuing to grow and educate people.
Thank you!!! 😍❤️🐜🙏 Ant love forever!
@UTTPOFFICERCUBANTROONJAK lil bro nazis were against lgbtq kid
@UTTPOFFICERCUBANTROONJAK Did you maybe respond to the wrong post? Ask about what? I didn't mention anything about Trans Rights? I'm just a biologist that likes to build vivaria as well as a channel member for many years.
@@TheBioExplorer best to downvote and report the post as it's likely a bot.
I like the Spider side plot
my favorite part was the very long, greatly detailed and visually spectacular sex scene.
The dedication to Brian as the Walt Disney of animals was so lovely 💖
Now add spitting cobra
I appreciate your arachnophobe warnings so much, thank you for that! Labeling your segments really heightened my enjoyment of your amazing video. When it was huntsman time again, I switched to another tab and just listened to your explanations of what was going on. I find these creatures fascinating and I like learning about them, but for me it's best to do that without watching and it was extremely kind of you to facilitate that.
aw man, i didnt realize brian barczyk passed away until i saw the message at the end of this video... i used to watch snake bytes all the time, seemed like a really good dude. rest in peace.
Are those FROGS???? Ahhhhh so excited to see what goes into the vivariam next! Good job, I think it's incredible that you're doing this, and even more so that you're taking all of us along for the journey.
