the incredible work of this video that no one notice is the sound design, all the sounds are recreated, can´t imagine they filmed this macro with real sound. The images are stunning as well.
Ive never seen a better video from BBC or any outlet, ever. This is literally the ABSOLUTE most put together top notch production for education I've ever seen.
The filming, the sound effects, camera quality, narration of Attenborough. BBC you have done it. You guys need to know how many folks actually admire this work. Absolutely amazing!
these desert sands are like our beach sands. granulated, not powdered, and you can see it's particles with naked eye. never gets muddy, and we can pitch a tent in the beach without stucking in the mud even when it's rainy.
I knew ants were intelligent, but that was a very human-like reaction at the end! Taking a moment to look back at the pit, like it was processing the fact that it almost died. Can insects suffer from mental trauma?
You can actually train some bugs/arthropods to follow a simple command, like with jumping spiders, which you can teach to wave to you with its front legs or pedipalps and teach them that you’re not a foe. Maybe not as complex as a mammal but still really impressive if you think about it!
ikr? but at least the Sarlacc Pit doesn't throw boulders at you and bash your skull into the ground to help it's venom knock you out faster... 'Ol George Lucas should've been more direct with making his alien ant-lion monster; could've been a *lot* more horrifying imo
Namib desert lizard: "Looks like it's going to be a really hot day again, just like every freaking other day here!". Licks his own eye nervously, then digs himself back in. A muffled but distinct "Goddamnit!" is heard from under the sand.
Some of them don't make it out of the death cone. Then the larva eats. Rinse, repeat. It's how ambush predators do. This type of hunting is so efficient that most predators are ambush predators, very few would actually chase their prey.
In my experience a group of ant lion larvae will normally build pits surrounding ant hills, also I've never seen them grab the ant and fling them around. They always seem to grab the ant and drag it back underground to finish the job

Likely they do not. An insect's nervous system is much less complex compared to larger animals. They are more akin to biological machines.
But it can probably learn to not go near the traps again.

The ending had me on edge more than any movie ever could
Throned lol yes
Throned That is because in a movie, you know there will be a happy ending.
Namib desert lizard: "Looks like it's going to be a really hot day again, just like every freaking other day here!".
Licks his own eye nervously, then digs himself back in. A muffled but distinct "Goddamnit!" is heard from under the sand.
1:31 my guy just skrt skrted outta there
Its a car for an ant :)
It costs 99 cents
Dejavu
Imagine creating then waiting hours in the pit you made in one position every day only to slam them a few times before they peace out
Gosh that would be a loooong wait
Some of them don't make it out of the death cone. Then the larva eats. Rinse, repeat.
It's how ambush predators do. This type of hunting is so efficient that most predators are ambush predators, very few would actually chase their prey.
In my experience a group of ant lion larvae will normally build pits surrounding ant hills, also I've never seen them grab the ant and fling them around. They always seem to grab the ant and drag it back underground to finish the job
THIS GAVE ME SUCH ANXIETY
You mean, ANTXIETY?
MAGA
the way the last ant looked back before walking away with relief.
Ants running across sand: "HOT HOT HOT HOT"
Made me lol
*Teacher*: “What did you do on the weekend jimmy?”
*Jimmy*: “Watched an ant get slammed on the ground”
Jimmy: "Ummm... Educational videos?"
But it's interesting
yep
The ant looked back like "what the hell just happened?" 😂😂
shyshotcaller27 LOL!... like...Yikes!
The final look from the ant at the end ! Incredible seemingly human characteristics haha
That avalanche technique is amazing!!
Jason McCann that's what I thought
Sand style: DESSERT AVALANCHE TECHNIQUE!!
Kuishinbo TG:root iS tHaT a JoJo ReFeReNcE?
The last ant is a tough guy.
He kept struggling until he climbed out of pit and went on his way.
2:18 the way the ant being smashed synchronizes with the music is amazing
Hardcore!!
awesomeassholeLOL BBC has its own music so it was probs specific for that part
All that sun light and not a single shadow slipped, perfect
Man he's a camper. I hate campers
Just like pubg
Fortnight
there are no bushes to hide in the desert.But as a camper. *you gotta do what you gotta do*
Kawhi sexual Vaughn Williams compared them to campers in TLOU.
Narrator: escape seems impossible
-ant escapes
Antlion: Am I a joke to you?
SEEMS impossible.
*Sir David Attenborough

Im suppose you be searching how to fix a garage door opener, but ended up here. No wonder my wife yells at me for never getting anything done
This is part of the research. Haha
Me too!, mine when I try to close it, it starts to close down, but it goes back half way through. whats wrong with yours?
"Have you figured out how to fix the garage door yet?"
"I'm thinking something with antlions."
You end up fixing it
Tell your wife to mind her gotdamn business
I got so happy when the ant escaped and WHEN IT LOOKED BACK LIKE "damn. I nearly died."
2:40
“BRING DAT ASS, HEA BOIII!!!”

Your killing your father Larry
David Attenborough and the BBC at their best. Amazing cinematography and narration.
The humans recording all this must have been dying.
Lol!
Jay Halt Ya you know because everybody filmed with drones back in 2006...
Unlike other animals, humans wear shoes and clothes, which protect them from the heat and sunlight.
+JanetFunkYeah
Unlike other animals, humans would deliberately stay under the heat of the Sun just to film some of the most minuscule of events. :'D
most of it looks cgi
3:01 That is like frodo trying to reach the top of mount doom to destroy the one ring
😂😂😂
3:22 - Did the ant really look back?!
eXtremeDR It's weird, right? It looks like something a more intelligent animal would do.
Ants are quite intelligent and the ant new it survived Jigsaws trap...
Elsewhere in the comments i heard someone theorize that behavior to be the ant laying warning pheromones near the edge, which makes a lot of sense
what makes you think the ant isnt intelligent?
Cuz Human superior race!
The video, the sound, the narration, everything was amazing. Apart from the death & violence, every bit was pleasure to watch and hear.
who is this ?
