00:00No matter how big or small, they all have something weird in their nature series,
00:04South America's Weirdest Land of Giants and Pygmies.
00:10A vast forest in Chile, the resident is small.
00:20Two birds fight with each other in the wild.
00:30Males and females fight with each other in the sky.
00:40A giant toad is armed with a spider web.
00:49Mr. Suave is the former. He's afraid of his wife.
01:00We've already visited many places where different animals live together,
01:05big or small.
01:06But our first destination tonight is the residents of Petit.
01:11It's located in the highlands, and there are experts in the amazing number 5 story,
01:16the Island of Ghosts.
01:19In Silangan, there is a place that can't be said to have been forgotten by time.
01:24But it seems to have been forgotten by time.
01:28But it seems to have been forgotten by time.
01:30In other parts of the world, there are big animals.
01:34The Valdivian Forest in Chile is a mysterious world of small creatures.
01:42Where the main character of the drama is a cast of men.
01:49One of the most famous animals here is the Pududier.
01:56It's a shy and cute cat.
01:59It's always hidden in thick grass.
02:04It's height is almost the same as a ruler.
02:09It's even shorter by 2 meters compared to its mother, Moose.
02:16That's why it's a favorite target of predators.
02:20Like the Cod-Cod.
02:24It's one of the wild predators in this forest.
02:29But it's also the smallest cat in the Western Hemisphere.
02:33It's weight is only 2 kilos.
02:35It doesn't seem to be afraid of mosquitos,
02:37but it's afraid of mosquitos.
02:41It's movement is also small.
02:49But if there's someone who can beat the Cod-Cod,
02:52it's the Monito del Monte.
02:55It's weight is only 40 grams.
02:58It's weight is only 40 grams.
03:01It's weight is only 40 grams.
03:04It's weight is only 40 grams.
03:06It looks like a lizard, but it's Spanish.
03:08It's name is Little Monkey.
03:11But it's one of the marsupials.
03:14The animals that have pouches for their babies.
03:17It's a descendant of the Australian possum.
03:20Another proof that Australia and South America used to fight.
03:29It's weight is only 40 grams.
03:32It's weight is only 40 grams.
03:35The Valdivian Forest is isolated.
03:38This is the reason why only the small ones live here.
03:44They don't need a size because there are no big animals here.
03:50What for?
03:53And because they are small,
03:55they can fit all the available food for their babies.
03:59But the island Dwarfism has an exception.
04:03It's said that it's hard for a man to have a girlfriend.
04:06But in our next story,
04:08even if it's slow,
04:10a woman can still find a lover.
04:13Let's find out her secret in Amazing Story No. 4,
04:16Mr. Romantic.
04:19In Galapagos Islands,
04:21there's an island with a world record.
04:25To make it clear,
04:28this is not a world record in running.
04:32This is the most famous group of islands in South America.
04:38Galapagos.
04:41And one of the famous giants of the island,
04:44the Galapagos Giant Portoise.
04:48It's length is more than 1.5 meters.
04:53It's height is 1 meter,
04:56and it can weigh up to 1,000 kilos.
05:03With its size,
05:04it's normal for it to move slowly.
05:08It's already in a hurry to lay eggs.
05:12It's looking for a lover.
05:18But it might have a hard time.
05:19It's only worth 25,000 pesos.
05:22And it can be divided into 15 separate groups.
05:28Each group has a different shape of shell.
05:35Charles Darwin, a naturalist, noticed this.
05:40He sometimes visits this place,
05:42and with the help of the theory of evolution,
05:46he explained the difference between shells,
05:49the saddle-shaped shells.
05:52They evolved because tortoises had to crawl
05:55to reach the leaves of the trees in dry places.
06:00In islands where the grass is thick,
06:03the shells are dome-shaped
06:04because they don't have to reach the trees.
06:08It makes sense.
06:12But now,
06:13the situation is not like that anymore.
06:16Maybe it has a connection to other needs
06:19to survive.
06:21If the giant tortoise returns,
06:23it might not be able to move anymore.
06:26The long-necked tortoise
06:27can easily flip its body.
06:31The dome-shaped shell and small-necked tortoise
06:34live on flat islands.
06:37They can easily get up.
06:41But if you have friends
06:42who are ready to help like this,
06:44your problem will be solved.
06:51This giant tortoise
06:52has an important design feature
06:54in its shell.
06:58You'll find out its purpose later.
07:02Just in time,
07:03it's looking for a partner.
07:06And it can't stop.
07:10But it's too heavy.
07:14It can't score.
07:16The thick shell
07:17doesn't help either.
07:24But they have a hole
07:25under their house.
07:28That's why their shells are dome-shaped.
07:31Their spot is perfect.
07:36Nothing can stop
07:37the giant tortoise from loving.
07:46The couple's sexy time
07:47will last for a few hours.
07:50Rio de Janeiro,
07:51in Brazil,
07:52is known as the year of the Rio Carnival.
07:54It's a colorful,
07:55joyful,
07:56and loud festival
07:57that attracts tourists.
08:00But whether there's a carnival or not,
08:02every day,
08:03it's fun and loud
08:04when they're colorful
08:05in the South American jungle.
08:08Let's get to know them
08:09in the story of Amazing No. 3
08:11by our talented guests.
08:14In the south of Brazil,
08:16the city of Rio de Janeiro
08:18is surrounded by the Mata Atlantica
08:20or Atlantic Forest.
08:24It's like there's always a party
08:26in the jungle.
08:27Different exotic species
08:29live here.
08:31Half of them
08:33can't be found
08:34in other parts of the world,
08:36even in the Amazon.
08:39One of the residents here
08:41is the largest primate
08:43in South America.
08:46The Moriki,
08:47which weighs almost 10 kilos,
08:51is sometimes called
08:52the Woolly Spider Monkey.
08:54It's not because
08:55they make food,
08:56but because
08:57it's thought that
08:58they gave birth
08:59to two different species.
09:02The Woolly
09:03and the Spider Monkey.
09:05But they're really unique.
09:07The largest primate
09:08in South America
09:09has a unique charm.
09:11It takes almost
09:12half a day
09:13to rest.
09:15It wakes up late
09:16in the morning.
09:18If the alarm goes off
09:19at eight o'clock,
09:20they wake up at ten o'clock.
09:23And in the afternoon,
09:24they spend three hours
09:25on their nap.
09:27Life is good, right?
09:29If the Moriki
09:30is the largest,
09:35in this jungle,
09:36some of the smallest
09:38and weakest
09:40primates in South America
09:41are found.
09:44This is the
09:45Golden Lion Tamarin.
09:47It's a GGSS,
09:48which means
09:49it's beautiful.
09:55These monkeys
09:56are friendly.
09:58Usually,
09:59they're not around
10:00their friends.
10:01Now,
10:02they're busy
10:03getting ready.
10:05They need to get ready
10:06because
10:07they're going
10:08to a dinner.
10:10One of them
10:11loves to eat.
10:14It weighs
10:15only one and a half pounds,
10:16but it's hard
10:17to find a snack.
10:21It keeps moving
10:22around the tree
10:23in search of
10:24a perfect meal.
10:27Just like
10:28the cockroach
10:29hiding in the water
10:30in the tree.
10:37The main course
10:38is done.
10:40Now,
10:41it's time
10:42for dessert.
10:44The Inga
10:45is a type
10:46of bean
10:47with vanilla flavor.
10:48It's also known
10:49as an ice cream bean.
10:51This is
10:52the perfect
10:53breakfast.
10:55It's happy
10:56and beautiful
10:57to itself.
11:01If the Tamarins
11:02are small,
11:03their relatives
11:04are smaller.
11:06This marmoset
11:07is only six inches
11:08and less than
11:10a kilo.
11:12But it's not only
11:13its size
11:14that's different.
11:15Unlike other primates,
11:16it doesn't have
11:17a finger,
11:18but it has
11:19a pointed nail.
11:22This is what
11:23it uses
11:24to climb up
11:25the tree
11:26especially
11:27if there are
11:28predators.
11:30To make sure
11:31that there's
11:32no danger,
11:33it's nervous
11:34around it.
11:37Did you know
11:38that it can rotate
11:39its head
11:40like a pin?
11:41No one can
11:42push it
11:43because it's
11:44surrounded.
11:45To our countrymen
11:46in the provinces,
11:47have you ever
11:48been bitten
11:49by a chicken
11:50or an old man?
11:51It's painful
11:52at first,
11:53but you can do it.
11:54What I'm not sure
11:55is whether
11:56you can
11:57bite
11:58a bird
11:59in my story
12:00of A.C. No. 2
12:01Abnado ng Toto.
12:04If there's
12:05a bird
12:06that has
12:07a giant
12:09toku,
12:10it's called
12:11the South
12:12American
12:13toku
12:14or the
12:15giant
12:16toucan.
12:17Relative
12:18to its body,
12:19its beak
12:20is the biggest
12:21beak
12:22of any
12:23bird
12:24in the world.
12:25But there's
12:26another reason
12:27why the beak
12:28of a bird
12:29can't be
12:30super big.
12:31It's a
12:32co-consumer
12:33of a lot
12:34of energy.
12:35In short,
12:36it's bigger
12:37and more
12:39efficient.
12:40First in the list
12:41is the beak
12:42of its beak
12:43that's good
12:44for eating.
12:45It can easily
12:46pierce
12:47even the
12:48hard fruit
12:49of the
12:50jenny pop tree.
12:51The beak
12:52looks heavy
12:53but it's
12:54actually light.
12:55The bone
12:56fiber that
12:57passes through
12:58the air
12:59gives it
13:00strength.
13:01This is also
13:02their weapon
13:03when
13:04neighbors
13:05fight each
13:06other.
13:07The eaglets are just eating.
13:12Another advantage of their large antlers is that more blood can flow here,
13:18which releases the excess heat from their bodies.
13:21If the heat is lost, the antlers can be compared to the ears of elephants in Africa.
13:29On top of the lush trees, there are many other unique and large birds.
13:37This is also one of the reasons why Jabiru is so busy taking care of his eaglets.
13:43In Amazon Basin, be careful because one of the weirdest looking birds in South America might fall.
13:51This is a Fessant bird, and it's safer if it's just hanging around.
13:57Its name suits it perfectly.
14:02The Hoatzin is also known as the stink or skunk bird.
14:08It's a leaf-eating bird.
14:11It's like a fermentation machine.
14:16That's why it often releases stinky air.
14:21Its size is also important for the leaves to melt.
14:24Sometimes, it's hard for it to fly among the branches.
14:30That's why it just jumps around like an eaglet.
14:35It looks like a fessant, smells like beef, and eats like an eaglet.
14:43It's harsh.
14:45Do you know what the acronym Takusa means?
14:48Gen Z, Gen Alpha, or maybe not.
14:50Takusa refers to those who are afraid of their wives.
14:53They are those who follow their wives around in the animal world.
14:58There's something like that too.
15:00This is the story of Amazing Number 1, Under the Sun.
15:05If there are weird birds, there are also weird eagles.
15:09Like this female eaglet.
15:15This is Emperor Tamarin.
15:17He was just raised by a squirrel, so he's not yet an emperor.
15:23It was called emperor because of its beautiful moustache.
15:27It's strong like a royal family.
15:29But it doesn't have a lot of blood.
15:32It's not the boss here, but its empress.
15:37It just follows its wife around.
15:40When the wife is tired of taking care of the baby,
15:43she uses her tongue to reach the baby.
15:50She's the one who takes care of the baby tamarins.
15:55Most of the time, it's the females who take care of the babies.
15:59But they don't want to carry the baby.
16:03That's the tongue of our queen.
16:06Another emperor has arrived.
16:08Because the father is the babysitter, the female is looking for food.
16:13And her favorite is nectar.
16:16So how did the two emperors follow each other?
16:20Because they both love each other.
16:24So the boys thought they were both fathers.
16:27That's smart, right?
16:30This is one of the weirdest things that can happen in nature.
16:34This is one of the weirdest things that can happen in nature.
16:39The Amazon rainforest is submerged.
16:43The whole forest is submerged in water up to 40 feet high.
16:48Imagine, there are dolphins swimming in the territory of land animals, insects, and animals.
16:55Even the sloth that lives on the tree is now swimming.
17:00Take note, it swims faster in water than on land.
17:07The arapaima also swam.
17:10It's the biggest freshwater fish in South America.
17:15Its length is up to 3 meters and it weighs 200 kilos.
17:20It's really heavy.
17:22That's why no predator would be interested in it.
17:26But why does it look like a sloth?
17:29Maybe it knows that the dry season is coming again.
17:35And the water in the sea is slowly coming down.
17:39The sloth is trapped in a small bay that is separated from the main river.
17:45There are other fish that are trapped here.
17:48But the weather is getting hotter.
17:50The oxygen in the water is decreasing.
17:52It looks like the day of the giant arapaima, the sloth, is over.
17:57But it still has a tail.
18:00It can breathe underwater.
18:04Its swim bladder can also function as a swim bladder.
18:10And it can not only breathe air.
18:14Because it has more oxygen in its swim bladder, it can swim faster than other fish.
18:21In an instant that it will open, the victim will be able to breathe easily.
18:28But even if it's full, it's still full.
18:31It has an attitude.
