Wow, some truly wild romances! Great to see how different courtship rituals are taking place in the natural world. Our crew recently also filmed birds which are working as wingmen for each other: The alpha male is supported by two junior dancers; they practice together and at the end, the boyband sings and "dance" to attract the blue manakin female. The beauty of nature never fails to amaze!
I can't get enough of anything to do with the animal kingdom. I love being a spectator to the most interesting and beautiful creations. As humans we are always preaching coexisting with other humans but we haven't even learned how to coexist with animals without exploiting them for profit. We need to do better.
I was disappointed because of the anthropomorphic descriptions in the monarch butterfly story. Objective observation and description is more scientific. This one reeked of sexism and misogyny more than most.
The male orchid bees he is handling do not sting. They don't even have a stinger. While the females do have stingers, they seldom sting--they are solitary, so there is no hive to defend.
@@dar.neshaaa You're welcome. It was still startling to see! Even knowing that they're stingless, it would take me a LONG time to get used to doing that... :D
It is actually going a lot better with almost all bee species aside from the domesticated honey bee. It is actually a good thing it is threatened with extinction in the Americas. Where it is reducing and out competing other native bee species. Social media always likes to turn things into some drama-show even tho it is actually very good for biodiversity. Not saying that the honey bee should go extinct ofc, but in some places it wouldn't be bad if it would just be gone (But ofc we humans like to bring in invasive spiecies.)
No closed captions options. Not even a youtube auto-generated version. That makes me sad. It's the only way for me to know what's being said sometimes, even if auto CC is crazy flawed. At least the animals are pretty to look at.
Please explain to me how the horrible way monkeys treat each other because of "status" is "wildly entertaining" to you or the fact that you " assumed" that anyone with a heart would think so? Plus, monkeys stuffing their face pouches w yummy fruit, while one sad female eats grass has nothing to even do with mating
Can’t really endure hearing that woman’s voice narrating in the beginning.. or the one right after, as I’m listening as I type.. but haha , nature.. got to love all the hilarious stuff these animals do.. If they leave out the Bactrian camel, they’re just missing out. NEVER have I laughed as hard as I did watching those camels. ( David Attenborough narrated an episode showing their behaviors when trying to get the attention of the females ha ha! So many animals have the strangest and most elaborate mating rituals ! Between birds, even a lot of fish , reptiles and uhh pretty much anything, there’s some really elaborate stuff going into it.
It didn’t. Nature doesn’t purposely do anything. Traits arise through random mutation and if it’s not useful it doesn’t stick around. “Survival of the fittest” is actually inaccurate. “Survival of the fit enough” is closer to the true. For mammals, who cannot produce many pigments in their skin and don’t need ultraviolet to distinguish food sources, the mutation doesn’t have an advantage. But we can see the color blue because it helps to determine fruit ripeness.
Why don't you not add the clip of the monkeys, especially the same sad one, over and over again, we get it, we all feel bad for the pregnant monkey that gets none. That clip has NOTHING to do with "animal mating rituals. Come out with something new already

Anna deserves a jackfruit after her appearance on this show!!
I legit started crying at that part.
The monarch butterfly literally has death by snu snu nice
I like the secret signals between the Mantis Shrimp - the light that no other creature can see.
This takes me back to high school
Haaaaaa haaaaaa
Smithsonian, you can't do this to me! I NEED to know if Julietta and Romeo found each other!
And the female peacock bird is camouflaged with the rocks. 🤣
Could you imagine that stag beetle flying towards you? 😱
What a great compilation of copulation!
This is the first time I've heard of the Orchid bees. They're fascinating!

Same. I adore them.
I just feel so bad for heavily pregnant Ana.

The scorpion footage was extraordinary and gorgeous.
True that!
Main man said they may be transparent, but as parents they’re solid as a rock. Mmmmmmm. Bars
This is so beautiful
Hi! How are you?
Tomorrow is already this Friday. Time really flies. I hope the rest of the week will be healthy/pleasant. ^O^
It's sad to hear the male monarch butterflies die after mating🥺and the pregnant monkey, who had to eat roots🥺
*The way he picked up that bee*😱

11:16 ANNA :(
I want to jungle door dash her some jack fruit
24:30 - it's nice to hear good news about bees, for once!

The captions are working. I need them too.
Captions are not working for me:(. I need them too
I feel for that yellow poor frog who can't get through...! 😅
So thet won't give food to Anna but doesn't stop them from getting her pregnant
I feel you male butterflies my wife sucks the life out of me also. I just have to wake up and do it all over again tomorrow
Lol
The praying mantis: exists
Travis: This my s*xual fantasy.
yo the mantis risked his life to bring life
Amazing, beautiful, interesting!😍 Greetings from Russia!👋💗
nice
We used to see many monarch butterflies in upstate n.y. not so many today..I put in a milkweed patch 22 years ago and I have only seen a few ....
Perhaps, the old "thinking with your genitals" saying is based in truth.
Nice clips!
Super 😜
Love it!!!💯✌️

Imagine we humans mate like mantises, to be Honest i dont think this comment would exist, my dad couldn't have had that courage.
😍😂😱😂😍
Intelligent design.
How did I get here?😳
ever wonder why nature 'purposefully' designed us NOT to naturally see these things?
What's your answer
A person could have stumbled across some of these things
It didn’t. Nature doesn’t purposely do anything.

I would be so bad at filming wildlife cause I would be taking that jackfruit and sharing it equally among the babies.🤗😘🦧🐵🐾💜
This is so beautiful
