The South American Centipede

The South American Centipede is one strange creature. Also called the Giant Scolopenders this centipede is the longest in the world! While it is growing it will shed its skin much like a snake, but with one creepy twist. It will then devour its own recently shed exoskeleton! This centipede can grow over a foot in length and can feed on creatures as large as an iguana. Take a look at the video below for more information about this 100 legged creature...

The Most Deadly Creature On The Planet

The Mosquito kills more people each year than any other creature in our world. There are over 3000 different species of mosquitoes throughout the world. I bet you didn't know that Mosquito eggs can last a full 5 years before hatching! Also mosquitoes are 500 times more active during a full moon! Is a just a coincidence that only the female mosquito sucks your blood and that blonds get bitten more than brunettes? Check out this video below for more information...

Underwater Camouflage Saves Lives!

First up is a clip from National Geographic that shows some of the unbelievable adaptations that underwater creatures have developed to survive in their surroundings. Crazy to even think that there are creatures on this planet that can shape shift and change colors so rapidly. You would think we could learn something from these underwater specimens of nature...



This next video is a bit more controversial, it starts out showing us more of the amazing camouflage from underwater. Then it takes us above the water and shows us more camouflage in insects and plants. After that it takes a weird turn and starts talking religion... I suggest you just turn down the volume or take it with a grain of salt. I thought the video was good, but sorry you are not going to convert me : )

This is one of those David vs. Gollaith type battles. Watch as this tiny spider managed to trap this much bigger bat! I wonder how much of it the spider can actually eat?

The Epic Battle Between The Jaglavak Ants And The Termites

The Mofu people seek out this elusive Jaglavak Ant, when termites threaten their homes and crops. What happens when they release the ants upon the termite colony is nothing short of amazing. It is quite interesting how the termites can work together as one group to try and save the queen.


If you ever wondered what an ant colony would look like underground, well wonder no more...



Finally, here is the story of the Leafcutter Ant, a creature that collects leaves, but has to turn them into fungus before consuming they. Nature never ceases to amaze...

The praying mantis has always been know as one of the most notorious insect predators. Watch as it makes quick work of this poor not so little mouse... it strikes with amazing speed! Would be great if it showed it in slow motion as it is almost too quick to catch with the human eye...



After a tasty meal it is time to... well you know : ) The male preying mantis really gets the short end on this deal! Rather amazing footage... I didn't see that coming!



And finally the last piece to the puzzle the birth of a new life... pretty cool to actually watch them "hatch"!

This video includes tons of species of plants that I have never even set eyes on before! Amazing what kind of creatures are out there in our world! I wonder where most of these plants are grown...



And finally the grand finale... this video starts out a little slow, but then it really begins to pick up, you know sorta like an cheesy 80's ballad : ) Well not exactly, anyways it is some pretty spectacular shots... I wonder if they have any that eat misquitoes or if we just have to rely on bats for that problem?
