00:00To our fellow countrymen in the provinces, have you ever been bitten by a chicken or an ant?

00:06It's just painful in the beginning, but you can do it.

00:10What I'm not sure is if you can do it.

00:12The ant, the bird's life in my story of AC No. 2.

00:16It's a true story.

00:19If there's a bird that has a so-called giant, this is the South American toku or the giant ant.

00:27Relative to its body, its beak is the biggest beak of any bird in the world.

00:33But there's another reason why the beak of a bird can't be that big.

00:37It's a co-consumer of a lot of energy.

00:40In short, it's bigger and more expensive.

00:44But why is it able to bite?

00:47Because its beak has a lot of uses.

00:50It's like a Swiss knife.

00:52It has a lot of uses.

00:55First of all, it's like a toothpick for eating.

01:00That's why it can easily pierce even the hard fruit of a jenny pop tree.

01:06It looks heavy, but it's actually light.

01:09The bone fiber that goes through the air gives it strength.

01:15This is also their weapon when their neighbors are fighting.

01:19The fight doesn't last long.

01:24The ant is just eating.

01:27There's another advantage of their big beak.

01:30More blood can flow here, so it releases the excess heat from their body.

01:37If the heat is lost, the beak of the ant can be compared to the ears of an elephant in Africa.

01:44There are a lot of other birds living on top of the tree.

01:50Jabeeru is also busy taking care of its chicks.

01:56In Amazon Basin, be careful because one of the weirdest-looking birds in South America might fall.

02:04It's called a pheasant, and it's safer if it's just hanging around.

02:09Its name suits it well.

02:13The hoatzin is also known as a stink or skunk bird.

02:19It's a pest and it's a pest.

02:22It's like a fermentation machine.

02:27That's why it often releases smelly air.

02:31Its size is also important for it to dissolve in water.

02:35Because it's so big, sometimes it's hard for it to fly among the branches.

02:42That's why it jumps like a monkey.

02:47It looks like a pheasant, smells like beef, and eats like a monkey.

02:55It's harsh.
