00:00 Today, we will again act as your biology teacher.

00:04 In this video, we will tell you about the giant anteater.

00:08 Yes, that one with a long and playful tongue.

00:12 The animal is familiar to you, but you probably don't know enough about it.

00:17 For example, did you know that its claws can crush even a beast like a jaguar without any

00:23 problems?

00:25 So listen with pleasure and let's get started.

00:30 And at the end of the video, we will also show you one interesting animal, a weird butterfly,

00:35 which literally feeds on the suffering of others.

00:39 It will be very interesting, watch and listen to the end.

00:44 The anteater sends greetings to all viewers and asks to remind you to subscribe to the

00:50 channel and express your opinion in the comments.

00:53 Let's get started.

01:03 The giant anteater lives in South America or rather in its central part.

01:08 The local lands are noticeably distinguished by the dominance of creeping creatures, which

01:13 only plays into the paws of the beast.

01:16 We think there is no need to explain the gastronomic preferences of our hero.

01:21 Yes, the anteater eats ants and termites.

01:24 Moreover, the animal is so filled with love for social insects that tens of thousands

01:30 of insects per day become its victims.

01:33 And in a year, the anteater manages to devour up to a million of micro-inhabitants.

01:39 Few predators can boast of so many enemies.

01:42 But for the anteater himself, hunting is not a hard work, but a meditative process.

01:48 Having found an anthill or termite mound in an open field, he licks off insects until

01:54 he is full.

01:55 By the way, the anteater's tongue is not just long, its root goes so deep that it grows

02:00 together with the sternum.

02:02 The unfortunate do not have a single opportunity to hide.

02:06 A 60 cm sticky tongue will get the insects from the most inaccessible places.

02:13 And powerful paws will break any, even the most powerful, fortifications erected by hard

02:19 workers.

02:20 What have these unfortunate insects done to him?

02:23 Killed his dog?

02:24 Burned down his house?

02:26 Alas, the reason for following a mono-diet is much more prosaic.

02:30 The animal simply cannot eat anything else.

02:34 The animal's skull is a tube ending in a 2 to 3 cm hole, which is its mouth.

02:41 To understand more clearly, take a pencil and insert it into your mouth.

02:45 Congratulations, now you look almost like an anteater.

02:49 It has exactly the same mouth diameter.

02:52 What can we say, this guy doesn't even have teeth, they simply have nowhere to fit in

02:56 a narrow muzzle.

02:58 Instead, the anteater has so pumped the muscles of its gastrointestinal tract that it crushes

03:04 the insects with the elastic walls of the intestines.

03:09 We can say that this beast literally chews them with its stomach.

03:14 But alas, no matter how much the anteater devours the ants, it is difficult to feed

03:19 a 2 meter carcass weighing 40 kilos with a diet of insects.

03:24 In order not to go crazy from the constant feeling of hunger, all life-supporting functions

03:30 of the beast work at a minimum.

03:32 So our hero became one of the coldest mammals, lowering his body temperature to 32 degrees

03:39 and a slow metabolism turned him into a leisurely giant, slowly pacing the forests and plains

03:46 of the Amazon.

03:47 By the way, the animal eats not only insects, but also fruits.

03:51 How is it that local predators have not yet exterminated 40 kilos of clumsy meat?

03:57 Pay attention to his claws.

04:00 No nail extension, only 7 to 10 centimeters of natural power.

04:06 In general, they are designed to destroy ant hills and termite mounds.

04:11 But in case of danger, the anteater does not hesitate to tear the enemy's face.

04:17 Our hero is so brutal that he can kill a jaguar and even a man with his paws.

04:25 The last case occurred in 2019.

04:28 A zoo caretaker died from the clutches of a giant anteater.

04:32 The animal simply slashed the girl with its claws.

04:37 These seemingly peaceful creatures become especially ferocious two times a year, in

04:43 spring and autumn.

04:44 It is during these seasons that anteaters have a breeding season.

04:50 The guys mark territories and watch their borders.

04:53 An aggressive meeting awaits uninvited strangers.

04:57 But females become especially welcome guests.

05:00 After all, if a lady has visited your property, then you will definitely have a candlelit

05:05 dinner today.

05:08 The female bears the fruit of love for 6 months.

05:11 Mother putting a newborn on her back is a touching sight.

05:15 However, from a distance you will not even notice the baby.

05:19 His wool is identical to the mother's, which is why the baby simply merges with her 2 meter

05:24 carcass.

05:27 What does this animal teach us?

05:29 It teaches us that even in the quietest whirlpool, there can be such devils that you don't

05:35 even think about.

05:37 It's amazing how Salvador Dali, who lived under the same roof with this creepy creature,

05:43 survived.

05:44 He, being the owner of an unusual pet, was apparently not only a great artist, but also

05:49 a great lucky.

05:53 On this note, we will finish about the anteater and since there is still time left, we will

05:58 tell you about another interesting animal.

06:02 The Gorgon Macaria.

06:12 No one is afraid of butterflies.

06:14 Beautiful, harmless insects peacefully feed on nectar without causing harm to any living

06:20 creature.

06:21 But the butterfly of the species Gorgon Macaria scares everyone.

06:26 There is nothing creepy in appearance, but it feeds on the suffering of others.

06:31 It drinks tears.

06:32 We immediately feel better when we find out where it comes from.

06:37 This butterfly is reaping its harvest of sorrow on the other continent, in the dense Amazon

06:42 jungle in Brazil.

06:46 It was discovered back in the 18th century, but until recently no one thought about the

06:51 strange diet.

06:52 They learned about it from a Brazilian scientist who took pictures of the creature's meal

06:57 during his midnight excursion into the jungle.

07:01 As befits any scary animal, the moth flies out to hunt in the gloom of darkness.

07:07 It is looking for a very unhappy or allergic bird that has crouched down somewhere to snooze.

07:15 In this position, small birds slow down their metabolism and fall into a daze, which is

07:21 exactly what our tear drinker needs.

07:25 As soon as the victim is found, the moth, like a real vampire, lands on the neck and

07:30 begins to drink the tears of the poor bird, drinking them through the proboscis tube.

07:36 Wiping tears at night, as it turned out, does not harm the birds in any way, except that

07:42 there is a chance to bring some kind of eyesore with the proboscis.

07:46 The birds do not experience either discomfort or pain, otherwise they would quickly realize

07:52 that something was wrong and quickly repulse the offender.

07:56 By the way, speaking of juices, why did the nectar not please the butterfly?

08:01 Let's just say that it really pleased it because it also drinks it and this is its

08:05 main diet.

08:07 But nutrition with the fruits of bitterness and suffering is for health promotion.

08:12 In tears, after all, there is not only water, but also salt, albumin and globulin proteins.

08:19 All these components make tears a real tonic cocktail that gives energy and useful substances.

08:27 By the way, for butterflies this activity is not so unique.

08:31 Many species do not mind improving their salt balance due to the tears of animals.

08:36 They even have a term - Lachryphagia.

08:39 Lachryphage butterfly.

08:40 Sounds as proud as it is creepy, but if you approach it correctly, it may even sound romantic.

08:48 Butterflies stealing tears.

08:51 Squeaky bloodsuckers, for example, are many times more unpleasant.

09:04 Nature can truly grab attention and amaze with its unique beauty.

09:08 In the end, we suggest looking at a few photos that perfectly convey the inner beauty of

09:13 nature.

09:15 Fossilized remains of antediluvian opal wood.

09:20 Just look at the remains of a petrified tree, which is several thousand years old.

09:26 For such a long time, the fossilized wood cells turn into a mineral called opal.

09:31 This amazing process is called fossilization, when one mineral completely replaces another.

09:41 And the last photo - a tree holding another tree.

09:45 This is a beech.

09:47 It is with the beech that such a curiosity can be observed most often.

09:52 Since the trees were very close and the cells were identical to those of the mother, their

09:57 branches grew together.

09:59 Despite this, the attached tree continues to live and receives food through the branches

10:03 which still maintain life in it.

10:07 And that's all for today.

10:09 Thank you for watching, take care and see you soon.

10:13 Peace.
