Ah, so that's the creatures ciri meet in the Witcher book 3
Quran 16:17,18
Then is He who creates like one who does not create? So will you not be reminded?
And if you should count the favors of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Sarlacc put for ants
I've never cheered on an ant so hard in all my life, lol.
In the end the Ant was like : I'm never going through this ever again
Shoooo, the final looks back was for escaping the trap.
Imagine going to work and seeing a giant bloodsucking monster

Who do animals (in this case insects) always have some cool moves like a finisher or special skill while human is like smart monke? 😂😂
MR ant
I legitimately never knew that antlions would SLAM their prey into submission like that. That's horrific and amazing.
LETS GO ANTT 🐜
The cameras they use are unreal
Why is the other ant just watching and filming? Go help him OMG!
Sound design on these videos are amazing
The animal kingdom is absolutely mind-blowing
BBC got it wrong. That's a mini sarlacc pit
Just so it can go into the next cone and be eating lmao
Indiana Jones looks back at his narrow escape.
Anybody figure out why the thumbnail has a gecko in it?
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!
The thumbnail : 👁️_👁️
Смотреть только начал. Представляю, – какой это колоссальный труд – снимать такое!
The ant be like is raining rocks? Shit!
funny how to ants the grains of sand can be slipped between while it is solid to us…
0:50 beautiful shot
also 3:23 nice detail
We used to find these all over our elementary school. We would scoop them up in paper cups and let them make a cone, then feed ants to them. Fun times.
I've seen a lot of this in Hollywood..
Paid actor 😕
I’m grateful for these videos. I swear!
Without incredible narration: a normal ant slipping down into a cone trap
With incredible narration: "As boulders of sand rain down, the ant starts slipping into trap and right into the jaws of death"
why is David Attenborough talking in my left ear
'phew.'
-David Attenborough
GG wp no re, that thing had skill, but our ant's just better.
Lol I love the way the ant looks back and say f u lol
i was looking at the sand the whole time tbh
I’ve never been so excited over an ant in my life.
Scary nature being scary again.
The safe libra dfly discover because weather unlikely spark down a jumbled tile. kindhearted, godly gymnast
This is basically the equivalent of you taking a walk on the beach, falling into a shallow hole, and being suplexed by a toddler repeatedly until you die from the trauma.
The ants act like they can’t move around the trap
cant belive this is real… so good
