This tiny architect is a potter wasp (subfamily Eumeninae), an extraordinary solitary wasp that builds protective mud nests for its young Before sealing the nest, the wasp provisions it with one or more paralyzed caterpillars. Rather than killing its prey, the wasp keeps it alive but immobilized, ensuring the... show more

What you're seeing is an interesting and probably underlying (to some) wildlife event. You're seeing a pepsis wasp in the process of hunting a tarantula. However, it's hot going to kill the wasp. It's going to paralyse the tarantula, drag it to a burrow and lay a single egg on the spider's abdomen. When the egg hatches, the larva consumes the tarantula over several weeks. Because the larva needs fresh food, the tarantula is kept alive throughout the feeding period. It remains paralysed but not dead.

I watched the video of the dementor wasp… the creature that doesn’t just paralyze its victim, but rewires it. One sting… one dose of neurochemical venom… and the bug doesn’t fight, doesn’t resist, doesn’t run. It walks. It walks straight to the wasp’s hive… willingly… calmly… like a slave escorting itself to its own destruction. Then the wasp lays its egg. The larva feeds on the non-essential parts first… just enough to keep the host alive… just enough to keep it moving… just enough to keep it compliant. Only when the parasite is fully grown does it consume the vital organs, burst through the shell, and emerge as something entirely different. And the moment I saw it, I knew exactly what I was looking at… This is the democrat political model being used on the ghetto community. They don’t need force. They use psychological venom. They numb the will. They hijack the instincts. They convince entire black neighborhoods to march themselves to the hive… the voting booth… the liberal system that feeds on them. Then the feeding begins… Ambition eaten first… Family structure eaten next… Discipline, responsibility, masculinity, language, faith… devoured piece by piece while the black host is kept alive just enough to be milked for power. And when the parasite finally emerges… it looks nothing like what that community once was. It’s the most accurate biological metaphor for what we’ve been watching for decades. Nature already exposes the truth. All we’re doing is naming it. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Nature at its most awesome. The glass frog is no bigger than a thumbnail, and it’s the make that sits and guards the eggs. It’s so small that it’s prey for just about anything. When the wasp comes to hunt for frog eggs, this tiny father does some pretty cool things to protect them. And the little hatchlings have their own defenses too. A really interesting and colorful piece of footage about one of the smaller creatures on our planet. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough only adds to the story of this tiny frog.

🐝 On top of the wasp nests hanging from light sockets and in the corners of the ceilings, I didn’t realize until later that there was a massive feral honeybee hive inside the walls of the upstairs bedroom. That explained all the buzzing. I was hoping for a few fun treasures in the attic, but it was clean as a whistle. The same day this video was shot, I also filmed an interview with WBTV News on the front porch of this house. The abandonment made the perfect backdrop.

Planet with extremely fast winds discovered Scientists have discovered something incredible 500 light years from Earth – the gas giant WASP-127b, where winds blow at 33,000 kilometers per hour. These supersonic flows are six times faster than the rotation speed of the planet itself and significantly exceed the most powerful winds in our solar system. "We have never seen anything like this before," says Lisa Nortmann from the University of Göttingen. "Part of the planet's atmosphere is moving towards us at an enormous speed, while another part is moving away at the same speed. This indicates the existence of a supersonic jet stream around the planet's equator." For comparison: the fastest winds in our solar system were recorded on Neptune – "only" 2,000 kilometers per hour. WASP-127b is unique in other ways as well. Although it is larger than Jupiter, its mass is significantly less, making the planet unusually "fluffy".

Did you know there’s a fish with a completely transparent head, and its eyes are glowing green tubes that roll around inside it? The barreleye fish lives in the deep ocean, where it usually points those eyes straight upward to spot prey silhouetted above it, then rotates them forward when it moves in for the kill. The two dark spots on the front of its face are not even its eyes. They’re its nostrils. So yes, somewhere in the Pacific, a tiny alien periscope is casually swimming around like this is normal.

It is that time of year when hornbills nest in the Anamalai Hills of Tamil Nadu, and the valleys reverberate with their deep calls and the powerful whoosh of their wings, sounding like a helicopter in flight. They are truly the icons of this landscape. It was truly magical for me to capture a Great Hornbill mother feeding her chick, an indication that the chick is nearing fledging and is almost ready to leave the nest. During nesting, the female seals herself inside a tree cavity, remaining there through incubation and early chick development, completely dependent on the male for food. As the chick grows the female eventually breaks out of the sealed nest. From this stage onward, both parents take part in feeding, signaling that the chick is in its final phase of growth before its first flight. In this fleeting moment you are struck by one of nature's most extraordinary stories ❤️🙌 #Hornbills #TNForest #wildlifeconservation #AnamalaiTigerReserve

While on patrol, the rangers discovered a beautiful golden wildebeest stuck in the mud beside the road. It likely slipped on the wet ground, and one of its horns became buried deep in the mud, leaving it unable to stand up. ✨ Fortunately, it was rescued just in time before a group of hyenas waiting on the other side had a chance to attack. Moments like this remind us that wildlife sometimes depends on human care and intervention. 💖

A spongilla fly larva (Climacia areolaris) performs something remarkable: without being taught or guided, it leaves the water and builds its own intricate protective casing. It spins a two-layered cocoon a delicate outer mesh like an open net and a tighter inner chamber anchored to nearby leaves, wood, or stones. Within this self-made shelter, it effectively creates a temporary “womb” of safety where it undergoes its transformation in silence, pupating for just a few days before emerging as an adult. What makes it so striking is that this complex act of engineering is entirely instinctive, no instruction, no learning, just a tiny creature following an ancient, precise blueprint written into its biology.

The MK1 Scirocco was styled by Giugiaro and launched six months before the Golf it shared its platform with. For the MK2 in 1981, VW brought design in-house under Herbert Schäfer - Giugiaro submitted a proposal and it was rejected. The result was a longer, lower, more aerodynamic coupe that was 10% more slippery through the air than its predecessor, assembled by Karmann in Osnabrück throughout its eleven-year production run. The range ran from a 1.3L base model all the way to the GTX 16V - which used the same 1.8L 139 HP 16-valve engine as the MK2 Golf GTI. A coupe that shared its running gear with one of the most famous hot hatches in history, in a body that the Golf GTI never had. Produced until 1992. Never directly replaced really. This Scirocco in the video is a GT.

Mud isn't optional for an elephant. It cools the skin in the heat, blocks the sun and keeps the biting insects off. A wild calf would learn it from the older females in her herd, but Kaikai is an orphan, so she's learning it from her Keepers and the other orphans in our care. She's determined that she's not the only one to get muddy either – a flick of the ear gets the Keeper filming this sprayed with mud! Kaikai just turned one and has years of bottles, Keepers and bush school ahead before she's ready for a wild herd of her own. Adopting Kaikai helps fund that journey:

This is a great example of how very different birds are. The Osprey comes gliding in and crashes into the water somewhat violently, and then sinks its talons into its prey, rips it from the water, and carries it off on its final journey. The Great Egret on the other hand is all about patiently waiting for the perfect moment to pluck a fish from the water. Even with the Osprey crashing into the water right next to it, the egret doesn’t even budge or blink. What a contrasting comparison!

A sewage safari with Windrush WASP. A great demonstration from Thames Water 💧 on how to deal with a broken pipe. Leave it for 20 years and then divert the flow with some yellow sandbags! Yes that’s right 20 years! This is a fabulous example of the story of privatisation. Offshore money to shareholders instead of fixing problems. The Ecoli load was an extremely dangerous 50,000 CFU/100ml.

The Sequels for land before time definitely veered into absurdity and lost that magic of the 1st movie, but I recommend the 2nd one, its more lighthearted with songs but it has some genuine heartfelt moments showcasing the Sharpteeth as loving parents^

Two-thirds of Americans say the Trump administration reached an agreement with Iran not because it thinks the U.S. met its goals, but rather that it is simply prioritizing ending the conflict now, a new CBS News poll finds. Overall, 57% of Americans say the conflict with Iran created more problems than it solved.
