26:38 CONTEXT: Dingo Dinkleman was a legendary wildlife expert that taught people about Venomous snakes through his RUclips channel. He was both allergic to Venom, and Anti-venin, but he still worked with those dangerous animals to help show and teach people about them. About 1 month ago, he received a bite from a Green Mamba, one of the most dangerous snakes on the planet. After battling for a month in the hospital, he passed earlier this week. RIP Dingo. Say a hello to Steve Irwin for us brother, thank you for all the work you did teaching us about animals, and the reptiles you love.
I am very angry at this man. The death of a 14, 12, and 9 year old children’s father didn’t have to die. If you’re allergic to the venom and antivenom work with animals other than snakes. I am so dang angry because it makes me sad.
It's great to see that Snap's wounds seem to be healing well. The fact that the surface of the back wound is now completely level with the rest of the body and doesn't appear to be infected (plus the easier movement) makes me hopeful that it's gonna be okay!
AntsCanada I really like your channel because you have shown me something so small can have great stories and can be super Interesting, I love learning about animals. Thank you
@@AntsCanada even if you dont want to check my game, I just wanted to say that ever since I started watching your channel 3 years ago (in 6'th grade), it completely changed my life. I used to think of ants as pests, but his channel inspired me to think of them differently. Now I even have my own ant farm for black crazy ants (although the barrier sometimes doesn't work sometimes, so some tips would be helpfull). this channel got me through some dark times, so I want to say thank you for alway updating the channel and keeping the quality high (unlike history channel).

Everything from the camera angles to the voice over the education and the overall beauty of what were seeing is incredible.

something about the canopy crab hunting other creatures with ambush tactics is both the most amazing and mildly terrifying piece of info ive picked up in a while... crabs truly are the apex of animal design.
RIP Dingo, sorry for your loss, I found out a few days ago and immediately did a google search to verify that he did in fact, pass. I loved watching him handle the snakes and he did not worry about his allergy as he took all the steps to make sure he was as safe as possible.
for the waterfall leak, id suggest just ditching the original tube thats leaking, just leave it there. get another tube, and just install it going around the side of the waterfall with easy access, and use that one, then maybe buy some moss to hide it, or some cement puddy or something to stick the tube to the "rock", and then rub dirt on the putty to camouflage it. so that way you still have a waterfall, but now the tube to the waterfall is somewhere you can get to. that way no tearing into anything, just a new tube camouflaged in an an easier access area.

I just spent my whole day watching this. I’d say you’ve done an amazing job. I’m a mom of 36 & 34 yo and I can’t help but wonder how proud your parents must be of you? Good job!!!
I want to throw this out here now: you cannot release snip and snap. Yes, they are more prepared for the wild than a true pet, but they are not even remotely prepared for actual nature. They have never even *seen* an arboreal or airborn predator. They have no tools or knowledge to deal with that.
been here since the golden empire and i have to say this is probably the best series yet (but could we also get a update episode soon on the other ants like the fire ants
Ever try using your fingers to drum to them? I've done it with outdoor ones. Sometimes, they'll wave back or react in interesting ways. They're so smart.
I once saw a wild jumper flying a kite. It would be funny if I was joking but I'm not. These guys are just so smart and playful, and sometimes absolutely fearless of humans. It's so amusing
I love that you have trigger warnings for spiders. I don’t mind them but many do and it shows you care a lot about your audience. I really enjoy your content. Thank you for being awesome.
Mikey, When you candled the egg, you didn't candle from underneath so you could see veins clearly. Also, candling from underneath you would see any mass in the egg and any redish colour around that is usually a sign of something living inside. It does look like there is veins from the angles you shone the light in from the sides, it also has a mass at the bottom of the egg that the light isn't travelling through, which is usually a good way to confirm if anything is alive in the egg. And the sealed cut that's black on the top of the egg, could be an accidental pip from something moving around with some strength inside, if the animal isn't formed into a solid body, the soft liquid egg tissue is known to seal eggs that have been accidentally pipped from inside and keeping the animal safe. If it was a dead egg, you would be able to smell it when you get near Pantdora, and definitely when you open the door and remove the soil off the egg. Because you haven't, you have a live egg. The question is, what's in it? Does it have legs or not. It's too big for a sailfin lizard egg. Could be a smaller monitor egg? I'm not sure it's big enough to be a larger species of monitor. I truly believe you have a snake. That was Dingo's opinion to. It's more the size of a small snake's egg, as well as the shape is more of a snake egg shape. A lizard egg, atleast all the lizard eggs I've had were long and thick, other than beardie eggs which are a bit bigger than finch eggs which I also raised. That egg, although thick, like a small monitors egg, it's still long, which in most cases is a snake. Please..be careful putting your hands in Pantdora, we don't want you getting bit by something venomous. Hmmmm, ya know. It was laying on the surface in the air, could have been buried in the soil to keep it warm in the sun, but the rain you had could have washed the soil away. You might have a Tabon in the egg. Tabon are from the Megapodes group of birds, and they are found in the Philippines. I've seen them driving from Mandaluyong to Batangas and in Tagaytay. Your place being in Cavite...not that far away. I've also seen Tabon in cages as pets kept outside in Mandaluyong. Their eggs would be about the size of your egg. Hmmmmmmmm??? If it is a Tabon egg you might want to take it out so it doesn't become food for Godzilla. It could be raised with the Gouldian Pheasants as an adoptee. Tabon are slightly bigger then the Pheasants when they are full grown. And the mother buries them in sandy soil to incubate. They nest and lay eggs in early October, right around the time you found the egg? The area you're in isn't their regular nesting area, but weather patterns and Typhoons could throw the nesting period off a bit making them relocate to lay eggs. Hmmmmmmm??? Matt - Toronto, Canada
Hey don't be too discouraged about the egg. If there's anything I've learned from your channel, is that nature always finds a way. That said, if you are thinking that there might be something inside the egg, maybe it would be best to take it out alongside some pandoran soil to incubate it. That way you can contain the creature if it hatches or return the egg back to the soils if it's clearly rotting. Just remember to moisturize it every now and then, I imagine it'll be a much easier way to tell if it's rotting if you can smell it too
Hello AntsCanada I’ve been watching you for about two years now I love your videos a lot and I was just wondering if maybe you could bring back some videos like the Phoenix Empire style videos or just something about ants I don’t hate the vivarium videos. I just really love watching you care for the ant colonies anyways have a good day!
Ok but what does that have to do with anything in this video or this channel. I swear some of y'all want validation and to feel included so bad you'll do and say anything. How about go to his channel and say something. Good fkn lord.
That tribute notice near the end floored me. I hadn't heard about him passing, and looking up the details was a bit eerie... Steve Irwin died in September, at the age of 44. Dingo Dinkelman (AKA, South Africa's Steve Irwin) got bit in September, at the age of 44...
I would like to thank you for the continuous video's you've put out like these. It's like watching a nature documentary on tv but cut out all the less interesting parts. To see the lives of these creatures from so up close and mostly no human interaction is amazing, please keep doing what you are doing, being able to watch these back to back is like watching a movie.
this was one of the best episodes for me so far, the balance between the story and the technical stuff and also some crazy cinematic shots like the crab hunting, amazing episode
RUclips gods thank you for putting this wonderful channel on my feed, not my usual thing I'd watch never been interested in this kind of thing but ever since the channel appeared I've not missed a video. Thank you antsCanada for teaching me about something I've never had an interest in until now.
I’m glad even you have technical difficulties with you enclosures. I have an 8’ by 4’ by 4’ bioactive ecosystem with a 50 gallon pond and a 10 gallon pool that waterfalls into the pond and the pump constantly gets clogged and causes extreme frustration and flooding issues
Heyyyyyyyy I'm a service member here in the states and just wanted to say your videos really help me get threw my training, such a cool series to help get me through the weeks, thank you and have an amazing day!!!
I'm with you. AC would have been a great getaway when I was in boot. But then, we didn't have the internet. Shoot, cell phones hadn't even been invented yet. P.S. Thank you for your service. Enjoy your enlistment. Best time of my life.
Hey antCanada it KevinB from animal con Great video as always, it was great meeting you in person and thank you for answering all my long awaited questions that I always wanted to know, and for being a great person to meet. Have a wonderful life.
I've followed since the start of this show, I've always been so fascinated and have enjoyed your editing style, but this whole 'my heart dropped' 'I was shocked when' 'you'll never guess what happened next'stuff is getting grating. It's proliferate through RUclips and is mostly for kids of a young age. You don't need to manufacture this kind of stuff. Your last two videos have been very similar being focused on Godzilla, the skinks and an on again/off again rotten egg. What's going on in the Orchadia? How are the frogs, the beetles, the mantis eggs definitely gone? How about the grasshoppers, did you repair the vines that fell? What kind of other stuff appears in your garden at the moment? How was your trip? The grubs were cool and man, they're gigantic, shame they probably won't live. Much love to you. Hopefully, it comes across as constructive, but this is the Internet, so it will probably be misconceived into oblivion.
AC: “Welcome to your new home little rhino beetle grubs! Enjoy!” ❤️❤️ Grubs being attacked by ants: “AHHHHHH!!! AHHHHH THE PAIN!! THE PAINNNNN!!! WHY??!! WHYYYY!!! AHHHH-“
@AntsCanada I blame you entirely, i just spent 2 weeks in Queensland Australia, and do you think i could do anything but watch ants... nope, my mate spent endless hours laughing at me walking around outside head to the ground watching ants trail around. Bull Ants are fascinating creatures
@@plucks7661 Honestly i went to a Huge car race, went on roller coasters and theme parks, and the highlight was the ant colonies, one nest id estimate covered 40m sq billions of ants, then realized it was because my mates young daughter was dumping her breakfast each day by the steps, so they had an endless sugar source
Those might have been pip markings, but I couldn't tell if there was anything inside due to the candling. Snakes make small cuts and slices in the egg to hatch. Might still want to keep checking on it for a while, and check hatching videos for snakes and lizards for comparison to your mystery egg.
Yeah! If the egg was rotting, it would feel different, harder and bloated This egg just seems to be from a thick shell egg laying species. Perhaps a lizard of some kind? I really really hope it hatches! It really looked like there was something inside, so many darker spots
For me it looked red and that would mean there is a life inside also telling is that when candled from down was dark and top was red. Also there is a change in color between first and second candling.
Let's goooo I've been waiting for this vid to come out!! Edit: I got a small feeling that the egg could still possibly be alive. Hopefully it's nothing bad if it does hatches, and thank you for making these amazing videos.
So i found your other vlog and after like 5min on google i learned so much about you! I had no idea you had so much going on outside of the ant business. It makes me even more appreciative of the content you put on here.
Yeah. The parody channel is so different from this one. Check out the "I wear speedos" despacito parody. It got taken down from his channel though. But someone else uploaded it.
Dude You're Killing me with suspence. I can't wait to find out whats inside the egg. Its almost been 2 weeks. I've watched your other channels videos, which are great, but what I really want to see is the contents of the egg. Come on now!
The framing and lighting of the clip with the canopy crab catching and eating the giant trap jaw ant was amazing! Looked like it came straight from a horror movie 😂
How is this show not on TV and streaming? This would be a hit worldwide on nature channels, or even childrens channels for educational purposes. Im perplexed that major television networks havent been trying to buy the rights to this.
@gianagigliotti6826 oh, I should hope so. However, I meant *THIS VERY SHOW* would be huge on TV as its storyline based, extremely educational, easy to understand and is tailored to an audience of all age ranges. I think this would be absolutely perfect for television audiences, genuinely. If I were a scout for the like of national geographic, or the nature channel, then I would be contacting my bosses and raving about this show to them as I know there's a market there for it.
@@marcelkamps7103 it reaches a much wider audience and would generate him alot more revenue. The number of channels that this would be suited too is insanely large.
No, at that point, there was nothing he could do without releasing marauder ants into his room. It took him too long to realize. If he saw when the first ants came out, he might've been able to rescue a few of the grubs, but by the time he did notice, the ants were all over all of the grubs, and moving them somewhere else would've just left some stranded ants on a doomed grub that can't fight back.
He literally could have poured water on them to save & move them but chose to be an idiot in this situation you literally can see the grubs writhe in pain & see ants crawl all over them
That pissed me so off. Digs them up from nature, feeds one to the caiman, puts them there without checking first, and doesn't even try to move a finger to save them. Then proceeds to film the whole thing and just says "My bad, I better should watch what I add next time". Dude, if you're trying to make a super diverse terrarium shouldn't you already now that? You throw grubs into a predator / ant-ridden space and when something unplanned happens, you just film them getting killed?
@@purpheart_sgt9554 Hard agree. Apparently he loves Rhino Beetles soo much, yet feeds his little star, the caiman, one larvae off and yeets the others into a dark spot where "he can't see". I've already started to have problems with his content before, but this... I'm dissapointed. There's a line between accidents and irresponsibility.
I have lived on this earth for 51 years now, but I have never seen such a wonderful, breathtaking terrarium. Absolutely great work, you can see your love for animals, nature, a true life's work....but all of the Spiders..no no no. 😂
Another great episode 👏 I really hope we see the Rhino beetles emerge later in the series. If enough survived, then perhaps they will be able to start a new population of them. That would be so cool. I still feel like you need a mouse, though without a natural predator, I would suggest just 1 and not a mating pair, or you'll soon have hundreds of them.
Listen, great job on the Pantdora series. The soundtrack mix is great, the cinematography is top notch, and the narration is good...except for one thing: Try to make an episode without using the phrase "little did I know". I have faith in you.
@@AntsCanadasay whatever you want it’s your channel and subs keep growing so don’t mind these comments. If they want a video like that they can go make their own 🫶🏼
The ants were already on them so they would just get relocated too unless he precisely removed hundreds of ants one at a time off the grubs. Plus the ants still already spread TONS of pheromones so they would hunt down the grubs anyway. By that point it genuinely was too late. He should’ve dug the hole before putting them in.

@@AntsCanada vinegaroons would also be amazing to see.
Add slave any or trapdoor ant day79
Yeah, a Whip scorpion would be cool
I just spent my whole day watching this.
I’d say you’ve done an amazing job.
I’m a mom of 36 & 34 yo and I can’t help but wonder how proud your parents must be of you?
Good job!!!
I want to throw this out here now: you cannot release snip and snap. Yes, they are more prepared for the wild than a true pet, but they are not even remotely prepared for actual nature. They have never even *seen* an arboreal or airborn predator. They have no tools or knowledge to deal with that.
been here since the golden empire and i have to say this is probably the best series yet (but could we also get a update episode soon on the other ants like the fire ants
❤️🙏✨️🐜
Same here been here since the good old days.
Same I just was watching it on. A different account lol
My kids would love a critter update.
Bro dug a grave for the grubs

The marauder ants should be called the undertakers
Jumping spiders are so cool, I've even kept them as pets. You really can see those gears turning behind those cute little eyes❤
Ever try using your fingers to drum to them? I've done it with outdoor ones. Sometimes, they'll wave back or react in interesting ways. They're so smart.
They have such cute little faces. I love them.
When looking at the jumping spider move around, didn’t I seem like it was filmed in a stop motion fashion.
I once saw a wild jumper flying a kite. It would be funny if I was joking but I'm not. These guys are just so smart and playful, and sometimes absolutely fearless of humans. It's so amusing
I love that you have trigger warnings for spiders. I don’t mind them but many do and it shows you care a lot about your audience. I really enjoy your content. Thank you for being awesome.
Mikey,
When you candled the egg, you didn't candle from underneath so you could see veins clearly. Also, candling from underneath you would see any mass in the egg and any redish colour around that is usually a sign of something living inside.
It does look like there is veins from the angles you shone the light in from the sides, it also has a mass at the bottom of the egg that the light isn't travelling through, which is usually a good way to confirm if anything is alive in the egg.
And the sealed cut that's black on the top of the egg, could be an accidental pip from something moving around with some strength inside, if the animal isn't formed into a solid body, the soft liquid egg tissue is known to seal eggs that have been accidentally pipped from inside and keeping the animal safe.
If it was a dead egg, you would be able to smell it when you get near Pantdora, and definitely when you open the door and remove the soil off the egg. Because you haven't, you have a live egg. The question is, what's in it? Does it have legs or not. It's too big for a sailfin lizard egg. Could be a smaller monitor egg? I'm not sure it's big enough to be a larger species of monitor. I truly believe you have a snake. That was Dingo's opinion to. It's more the size of a small snake's egg, as well as the shape is more of a snake egg shape. A lizard egg, atleast all the lizard eggs I've had were long and thick, other than beardie eggs which are a bit bigger than finch eggs which I also raised. That egg, although thick, like a small monitors egg, it's still long, which in most cases is a snake. Please..be careful putting your hands in Pantdora, we don't want you getting bit by something venomous.
Hmmmm, ya know. It was laying on the surface in the air, could have been buried in the soil to keep it warm in the sun, but the rain you had could have washed the soil away. You might have a Tabon in the egg. Tabon are from the Megapodes group of birds, and they are found in the Philippines. I've seen them driving from Mandaluyong to Batangas and in Tagaytay. Your place being in Cavite...not that far away. I've also seen Tabon in cages as pets kept outside in Mandaluyong. Their eggs would be about the size of your egg. Hmmmmmmmm??? If it is a Tabon egg you might want to take it out so it doesn't become food for Godzilla.
It could be raised with the Gouldian Pheasants as an adoptee. Tabon are slightly bigger then the Pheasants when they are full grown. And the mother buries them in sandy soil to incubate. They nest and lay eggs in early October, right around the time you found the egg? The area you're in isn't their regular nesting area, but weather patterns and Typhoons could throw the nesting period off a bit making them relocate to lay eggs. Hmmmmmmm???
Matt - Toronto, Canada
Hey don't be too discouraged about the egg. If there's anything I've learned from your channel, is that nature always finds a way. That said, if you are thinking that there might be something inside the egg, maybe it would be best to take it out alongside some pandoran soil to incubate it. That way you can contain the creature if it hatches or return the egg back to the soils if it's clearly rotting. Just remember to moisturize it every now and then, I imagine it'll be a much easier way to tell if it's rotting if you can smell it too
Thumbnail was CAKED UP!!!!
I said damn Mikey, he know damn well how good he looks! 😂😂😂 and I'm a woman!❤
yea i saw it and like, bro wtf are you doing
🍰
You guys are weird
This guy really sells the drama.
Hello AntsCanada I’ve been watching you for about two years now I love your videos a lot and I was just wondering if maybe you could bring back some videos like the Phoenix Empire style videos or just something about ants I don’t hate the vivarium videos. I just really love watching you care for the ant colonies anyways have a good day!
that crab hunting the ant was crazy
RIP Dingo, a sad and sudden tragedy. Thoughts go out to His friends and family.
Ok but what does that have to do with anything in this video or this channel. I swear some of y'all want validation and to feel included so bad you'll do and say anything. How about go to his channel and say something. Good fkn lord.
What a way to find out Dingo Dinkelman passed... Damn
That tribute notice near the end floored me. I hadn't heard about him passing, and looking up the details was a bit eerie... Steve Irwin died in September, at the age of 44. Dingo Dinkelman (AKA, South Africa's Steve Irwin) got bit in September, at the age of 44...
I would like to thank you for the continuous video's you've put out like these. It's like watching a nature documentary on tv but cut out all the less interesting parts. To see the lives of these creatures from so up close and mostly no human interaction is amazing, please keep doing what you are doing, being able to watch these back to back is like watching a movie.
Maybe you shouldn't add things 13:20 in Pandora yet maybe the upper part of the canopy there is a lot more space
I felt bad for the grub that got fed to the Caiman and how the others lucked out, but I couldn’t have been more wrong..
Lmao 😂 goat 🐐 comment
The others had a more painful death too😭 similar to “death by a 1000 cuts” so it was slow and painful.
this was one of the best episodes for me so far, the balance between the story and the technical stuff and also some crazy cinematic shots like the crab hunting, amazing episode
the marauder ants be like: OHHHH christmas allready?
RUclips gods thank you for putting this wonderful channel on my feed, not my usual thing I'd watch never been interested in this kind of thing but ever since the channel appeared I've not missed a video. Thank you antsCanada for teaching me about something I've never had an interest in until now.
Pantdora chose you. ✨️
I’m glad even you have technical difficulties with you enclosures. I have an 8’ by 4’ by 4’ bioactive ecosystem with a 50 gallon pond and a 10 gallon pool that waterfalls into the pond and the pump constantly gets clogged and causes extreme frustration and flooding issues
bro gave those beetles a brutal slow death

That juicy prime beetle larva delivery directly to the mauraders nest was brutal, even I looked away 😅 the ants must have been sooooo happy, oh my
Best channel on RUclips hands down , ants Canada , no it’s ANTS THE WORLD ✊✊
This episode definitely shows how big a difference in size it can be between ant species.
But little did I know, the beattle grubs were screaming: You Murderer!!!!!!!
He definitely could have moved them!
Heyyyyyyyy I'm a service member here in the states and just wanted to say your videos really help me get threw my training, such a cool series to help get me through the weeks, thank you and have an amazing day!!!
Threw?
I'm with you. AC would have been a great getaway when I was in boot. But then, we didn't have the internet. Shoot, cell phones hadn't even been invented yet. P.S. Thank you for your service. Enjoy your enlistment. Best time of my life.
Lol cellphones were invented in 1999 but they were like bricks@bobbiepoynter3848
This is better than any nature documentary.
Beetle Grubs: Got eaten
Antscanada: I could do nothing but watch the Carnage unfold...
Yeah I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he seems to have an "unforseeable disaster" about every month... o_o
Antscanada is the only channel that pops in my feed in the first hour it gets posted.
Anyways cool video😊
🙏❤️🌿🐜✨️
@@AntsCanadaMikey in his emoji era 😂
It was really cool seeing the crab get that trapjaw ant!
Hey antCanada it KevinB from animal con Great video as always, it was great meeting you in person and thank you for answering all my long awaited questions that I always wanted to know, and for being a great person to meet. Have a wonderful life.
I've followed since the start of this show, I've always been so fascinated and have enjoyed your editing style, but this whole 'my heart dropped' 'I was shocked when' 'you'll never guess what happened next'stuff is getting grating. It's proliferate through RUclips and is mostly for kids of a young age. You don't need to manufacture this kind of stuff. Your last two videos have been very similar being focused on Godzilla, the skinks and an on again/off again rotten egg.
What's going on in the Orchadia? How are the frogs, the beetles, the mantis eggs definitely gone? How about the grasshoppers, did you repair the vines that fell? What kind of other stuff appears in your garden at the moment? How was your trip? The grubs were cool and man, they're gigantic, shame they probably won't live.
Much love to you. Hopefully, it comes across as constructive, but this is the Internet, so it will probably be misconceived into oblivion.
Nice dumpy, AntsCanada.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR FOREVER
IKR?!🤪
Me to. Me to man

So happy to show you guys this new episode! Hope you enjoy it! See you next week! Ant love forever! 🙏❤️🌿🐜🐜
@ Awww! 🥰 you’re the best! #AntLoveForever
Time change was last night, so this video posted a hour early. Time to watch. 💯
There's no time change where he is though so it will be the same time year round
Ahhhh that's cool. An early gift for not uploading last week! Enjoy!
@@AntsCanada W youtuber
@@AntsCanada dum question: do you record you're voice after recording the video?
It's 6 in the morning for me
AC: “Welcome to your new home little rhino beetle grubs! Enjoy!” ❤️❤️
Grubs being attacked by ants: “AHHHHHH!!! AHHHHH THE PAIN!! THE PAINNNNN!!! WHY??!! WHYYYY!!! AHHHH-“
“Oh no! I can do nothing even though I still have the tongs in my hand.”
@@charlesman8722it was dark, he couldn't see. The ants where all over the grubs. He couldn't really help it.
he could just wash them
It was safe, you protected your hand with an alligator grade plastic.
@AntsCanada I blame you entirely, i just spent 2 weeks in Queensland Australia, and do you think i could do anything but watch ants... nope, my mate spent endless hours laughing at me walking around outside head to the ground watching ants trail around. Bull Ants are fascinating creatures
Hahahaha dude i did this out the front of my house the other day. So many people walked past me and gave me strange looks.
@@plucks7661 Honestly i went to a Huge car race, went on roller coasters and theme parks, and the highlight was the ant colonies, one nest id estimate covered 40m sq billions of ants, then realized it was because my mates young daughter was dumping her breakfast each day by the steps, so they had an endless sugar source
Those might have been pip markings, but I couldn't tell if there was anything inside due to the candling. Snakes make small cuts and slices in the egg to hatch. Might still want to keep checking on it for a while, and check hatching videos for snakes and lizards for comparison to your mystery egg.
I was thinking the same thing. Those are pips!
Yeah!
If the egg was rotting, it would feel different, harder and bloated
This egg just seems to be from a thick shell egg laying species. Perhaps a lizard of some kind? I really really hope it hatches! It really looked like there was something inside, so many darker spots
Yeah. They kinda does look like pips.
I think something else found the egg and had a go at it maybe. If it was big enough to start cutting the egg, we would see it easier.
For me it looked red and that would mean there is a life inside also telling is that when candled from down was dark and top was red. Also there is a change in color between first and second candling.
Those poor grubs! 😢 I do hope some of them survived!
Hey antscanada,what happened to the Praying mantis egg sac?
pretty sure that was eaten by something (presumably crickets). I remember them both having large holes in them.
@@kobesutherlandyeah they got eaten
@@sheepbentley4717 which ep was this? such a pity
Eaten by ravenous crickets sadly took a couple episodes to figure out when he finally caught one in the act.
it did get chewed, yes but he moved them afterwards. Iirc... theyll hatch in the summer. As im hoping.
god damn man the thumbnail, caked. good for you man
Rip dingo xox seeing you in this video opens up the flood gates...
Let's goooo I've been waiting for this vid to come out!! Edit: I got a small feeling that the egg could still possibly be alive. Hopefully it's nothing bad if it does hatches, and thank you for making these amazing videos.
its clearly dead
@@pixazelzNo way ,if it isn’t,I’ll be sad.😢
Edit: I watched to the end of the video. Oh no! Maybe it already hatched?🐣 😮
AC: Here baby grubs, you're welcome in Pantdora.
Marauder Ants: Oh yes, we would love to have you as dinner... errr, over for dinner.
So sad to see Dingo Dinkleman on a recent video and to now hear the news of his passing. Sorry for your loss, AntsCanada. What a terrible loss.
So i found your other vlog and after like 5min on google i learned so much about you! I had no idea you had so much going on outside of the ant business. It makes me even more appreciative of the content you put on here.
Yeah. The parody channel is so different from this one. Check out the "I wear speedos" despacito parody. It got taken down from his channel though. But someone else uploaded it.
24:35 i think i see the egg moving and somthing pushing up from inside the egg ( look left side of the egg just as you take the flashlight away !
It definitely moved
He removed the flashlight the egg went back in shape, there wasnt anything moving
The egg is dead, there were some holes that you could see when the light leaked out of them.
@@gavros9636 time will tell :)
@@gavros9636 100%
Nice new jumping spider footage finally! =D
For the jumping spider fans! 🙌🕷
Jumping spider supremacy!!!
Dude You're Killing me with suspence. I can't wait to find out whats inside the egg. Its almost been 2 weeks. I've watched your other channels videos, which are great, but what I really want to see is the contents of the egg. Come on now!
The framing and lighting of the clip with the canopy crab catching and eating the giant trap jaw ant was amazing! Looked like it came straight from a horror movie 😂
"Or was it"
That was a VSauce moment.
Jumping spiders have the cutest faces
Truest comment on here
i know
Very disappointed you didn't try to rescue some of the grubs as soon as you realized the mistake.
@@santor420 there was no mistake. He's got these videos pretty much scripted at this point.
hes attempting to let nature "run its course" which is why him taking out the adult sun skinks was so controversial
@@vordaus Nature doesn't usually dump a dozen grubs directly into an open anthill.
Brother really left us with the Vsauce ending
I really love Snap, he's like a wounded warrior, i can imagine him talking with a strict tough tone.
How is this show not on TV and streaming? This would be a hit worldwide on nature channels, or even childrens channels for educational purposes. Im perplexed that major television networks havent been trying to buy the rights to this.
He works for big companies I believe
@gianagigliotti6826 oh, I should hope so. However, I meant *THIS VERY SHOW* would be huge on TV as its storyline based, extremely educational, easy to understand and is tailored to an audience of all age ranges. I think this would be absolutely perfect for television audiences, genuinely. If I were a scout for the like of national geographic, or the nature channel, then I would be contacting my bosses and raving about this show to them as I know there's a market there for it.
Why should it? He Has Million of views all over the world. Just on RUclips.
The classic TV is dying out.
@@marcelkamps7103 it reaches a much wider audience and would generate him alot more revenue. The number of channels that this would be suited too is insanely large.
Is that why we never see his face ? Also he goes to cons ( he's mentioned it before) do they get to see his face or is he masked up ??
Sense Pandora is getting so good creature wise. Maybe focus on building Orchadia for a little bit. It may also be time for another expansion.
Yes, agreed! That's the plan now!
10:57 Poor beetles Sadly you couldn’t help them:(
Horrible way to go but at least we know where the marauder’s are
There are a few which probably escaped
@@ExterminatorOfTheWORLD i don't think so..
@@ExterminatorOfTheWORLD probably unlikely that they would’ve survived considering that the marauders nest layed directly underneath where they dug in
on the plus side, free real estate for the marauders
Throwback to the comment saying “Ants Canada casually takes wild animals and drops them into the hunger games” 😂😂
I loved rocksteady! And now they can fight their way up to the vines to breed in the holy land! Haha
You could've removed the grubs when it started. I wanted to see rhinos :(
No, at that point, there was nothing he could do without releasing marauder ants into his room. It took him too long to realize. If he saw when the first ants came out, he might've been able to rescue a few of the grubs, but by the time he did notice, the ants were all over all of the grubs, and moving them somewhere else would've just left some stranded ants on a doomed grub that can't fight back.
I also would've liked to see more rhinos, but...
We don't know they're all dead yet. There's too much 'it depends' still.
Pantdora has been full of surprises, so don't discount them all just yet.
@@DavidSinanan tbhey def all died they dug down right in the nest
He didnt know the anys were swarming
11:00 Why couldn’t you pick the grubs up, shake the ants off, and just move them to another spot?
He literally could have poured water on them to save & move them but chose to be an idiot in this situation you literally can see the grubs writhe in pain & see ants crawl all over them
That pissed me so off. Digs them up from nature, feeds one to the caiman, puts them there without checking first, and doesn't even try to move a finger to save them. Then proceeds to film the whole thing and just says "My bad, I better should watch what I add next time". Dude, if you're trying to make a super diverse terrarium shouldn't you already now that? You throw grubs into a predator / ant-ridden space and when something unplanned happens, you just film them getting killed?
@@personmensch6664 “it was too dark” ha! Tf it made no sense. Then why even place them at that time wait until you can see fool.🤦🏾♂️
@@purpheart_sgt9554 Hard agree. Apparently he loves Rhino Beetles soo much, yet feeds his little star, the caiman, one larvae off and yeets the others into a dark spot where "he can't see". I've already started to have problems with his content before, but this... I'm dissapointed. There's a line between accidents and irresponsibility.
Love him, but dumb ass move
this man is playing pokemon in real life. FInding the mysteryegg and waiting for it to hatch!
I have lived on this earth for 51 years now, but I have never seen such a wonderful, breathtaking terrarium. Absolutely great work, you can see your love for animals, nature, a true life's work....but all of the Spiders..no no no. 😂
MIKEY B!!!! I knew the voice sounded familiar! THAT TANK IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!
Another great episode 👏 I really hope we see the Rhino beetles emerge later in the series. If enough survived, then perhaps they will be able to start a new population of them. That would be so cool. I still feel like you need a mouse, though without a natural predator, I would suggest just 1 and not a mating pair, or you'll soon have hundreds of them.
Godzilla would eat a mouse.
Personally I would have dropped the grubs in orchadia but hindsight is always 20 20
@Bildgesmythe eventually though I think he's perhaps a little small for a full grown mouse. I'm sure he'd give it a good go though.
next video "human kids in the vivarium"
Lord of the Flies?
Why are you caked up in the thumbnail lol
Haha I knew it! "The egg was dead. Or was it?" We'll get some more milage out of that egg 😂
I'm so sad to hear that Dingo passed away, he was such a great and fun person.
Awesome episode, but sad to hear about Dingo's passin! RIP Dingo!!
You literally could not have watched the video!!! You wrote your comment 2 minutes after the video was released. That's pathetic
Listen, great job on the Pantdora series. The soundtrack mix is great, the cinematography is top notch, and the narration is good...except for one thing: Try to make an episode without using the phrase "little did I know". I have faith in you.
Impossible. I don't know any other phrase that means the same thing. 😭
@@AntsCanadasay whatever you want it’s your channel and subs keep growing so don’t mind these comments. If they want a video like that they can go make their own 🫶🏼
10:53 Ultimate solution: get the tweezers and relocate the grubs to the opposite side of the vivarium 🤯
If that was the best solution he would've done that already.
@@Eggoroni Nah, he just wants drama to keep his audience's attention. "Aww poor grubs died because it was ✨too late✨"
The ants were already on them so they would just get relocated too unless he precisely removed hundreds of ants one at a time off the grubs. Plus the ants still already spread TONS of pheromones so they would hunt down the grubs anyway. By that point it genuinely was too late. He should’ve dug the hole before putting them in.
