Funny thing is, as soon as I scroll down the narrator says the line, “The more numerous a species is, the more likely it is to fall victim to the killer fungus.” as I read your comment.
EeveeFall But we’re not literally “overpopulated”, rather, our distribution is grossly mismanaged. As India, Africa, China and California become more competent about this, we will be able to do FAR more with the same or less.
As an amateur myco-photographer myself, I can't believe how detailed, well timed, and representative all of these clips are. Whoever filmed this needs more recognition than david attenborough. Incredible talent.
@@maggie_ Though people might be easier to spread infections to other people in comparison to an ant or bug. Perhaps the fungus could evolve to cause people to act out aggressively so as to spread the infection more quickly that way.
The shot these guys get and the extent they go to get the perfect shot is just beautiful. Could you imagine if camera men didn't do this most of us would have no clue about any of it
Joseph, you already have a hundred something species of fungus living on just your feet alone, thousands of species of bacteria, fungus, viruses, tiny insects, worms etc make a cozy living on and inside of your body. You are an ecosystem with a biosphere. There’s 8-legged slugs living all over your face.
This 4 minute clip might be one of the best movie ever. It has lifestyle, conflict, life and death, philosophy, great music, narration and sound, impressive images, it's weird, it's bold, it's beautiful.
These our planet series are really great and informational. I know it is hard to make them specially such a delicate moments of smallest to largest species are not easy to capture. These people do a great job and deserve hundreds of thumbs up. My great thanks to all of them :)
@Dana William humans eat fungi too lol, idk the death rates globally of people eating well known deadly mushrooms, but it's gotta atleast be 2 people. Therefor it wouldn't be a stretch to say a hungry homeless man find a unique looking mushroom & eats it.. Thus, starting a new plauge of zombie like peoples. And maybe instead of climbing to a high place to spore, the fungus uses the human intellect to spread its spores more effectively. Like an irrigation system, or mindless cattle who will let you spit in their mouths..
The only thing I know for sure is that Mother Nature will always find a way to balance everything out. But the Human species Mother Nature has withheld her power she has shown us mercy. For the Fungi who’s killing the humans is The humans them self.
Kudos to the people behind this show. The story telling and capturing the life of ants are incredible. Thanks for featuring this in my recommendations.
The visuals for this are just beautiful. You would think this was more alien than anything else. Almost makes it hard to believe this is something quite normal on Earth. A truly example of the incredible diversity of life on this planet that we must protect at all costs.
They actually covered this before (years ago) but the close ups and camera work on this one is amazing that it was good they revisited it with more detail.
As gothic and horrific as this is, nature must have *BALANCE* Fantastic camera work btw! And even in the wake of seeing something as sinister as a parasite erupting from the head of this poor ant, Sir Attenborough's calming voice and explanation behind this madness, makes anyone see the logic to its method. 👏💯
This series is SO DAMN well made. Especially when you watch it on mushrooms, you feel absolutely connected with these animals and it's a beautiful experience.
"What if the planet were to get slighter warmer? The fungus would adapt and force itself to find human hosts and take over the minds of not millions of us but billions of us" "So if that happens?" "..........We lose"
It's terrifying how realistic this is, the fact that organisms can learn and mutate at anytime with potential of affecting cross species, fungus has to be alot smarter than bacteria and viruses and given that HIV came from apes and jumped to humans, this just gives me chills
An invasive plant fungus that exclusively infected plants and weeds infected its first human in April. So cordyceps is even less of a jump than that. And the world has surpassed 17c for the first time in nearly 200,000 years. This decade. Almost inevitable.
I don't think there has been better camera work in any series, movies or piece of art. I know it's subjective, but this is just too good. I am flabbergasted at the effort and the hard work.
Imagine if they made a version of this, but as a video game, and with humans and zombies as well as a immune human. Then, they turn into an HBO show!!!
It'd be nice if there is a documentary on microscopic level how the fungi hunt, in full HD. And of course narrated by David Attenborough Edit: Sir David Attenborough
A human’s immune system is stronger in fighting cordyceps than insects. So don’t worry about living in a video game. But in a couple hundred years, cordyceps can evolve to do the same thing to humans.
They most likely have a team consisting of people with different skills, like one with the ability to observe abnormal behavior in animals such as ants. Most likely they searched in an area where the fungus was dominant and then it was just a matter of time before they could single a weird ant out. Must have taken a long time still, but they dedicate so much time to these programs, it's amazing.
David Attenborough's voice is so soothing to listen
Right he has that horse raspey soft voice...something you can fall asleep to lol
Right ?! If anyone is going to announce me that I'm gonna die in the next 24h, I want this guy to say it :P
I can feel him tryharding
Isn’t David Attenborough John Hammond from Jurassic Park?
Dude I’m the thousandth like
Agree with that too
The camera work and overall quality of these captures is completely unreal, fucking great job!
Literally every episode of planet Earth 2 is this good, it's fucking ridiculous.

The beauty of this shot where death becomes the blooming of life, the mushroom growing from the corpse is just incredible.
The thing is it wasn't even a corpse, the ant was still alive in the beginning of the growth it merely couldn't control its body.
"Decay exists as an extant form of life"
“The more numerous a species is, the more likely it is to fall victim to the killer fungus.”
Well, I see the last of us wasn’t that far off.
Hallison Michel the insects aren’t the problem, it’s the fungus.

The most terrifying thing about this fungus is that it really takes control of the ants brain.
It actually blocks the normal function of the ants brain trapping its brain and preventing it from sending signals it can't move think
@@BossOfAllTrades so if it takes control of humans it won't make us zombie like?
it actually takes control of the ant's musculature
