Natural World: Nature's Biggest Beasts
The world's biggest beasts have always captured the imagination. But whilst being big can have its advantages, it also comes with sizeable challenges. Take the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, whose huge appetite means it must take on prey ten times its weight, or the tallest animal of them all - the giraffe - who, with such a long neck, must control immense blood pressure. Nature's biggest beasts must go to extraordinary lengths to thrive.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Complete control of the moisture within their cells... that's a mutant ability if I've ever heard of one.
The being doesn't' control anything just as you can't control the pumping of your heart, it is the mechanism that his body possess (which is God given) that does it.
yeah a body function like you crying since not all animals can cry.

That is a interesting superpower lol

In studying these creatures we will discover the secrets to cryo-sleep.
Lol honestly though. Although I can see a few problems with trying to dehydrate the human body, since we 80% water and all.
Then why is my brain shutting down...
Yes! 🤘🤞
@@theonlycanadian5989 it says 80% of the insects body can be frozen in this very video
@@VantaBlackSheep yes, however did it say that it’s body composition was 80% water?
Wherever you look, nature is spectacular. At all dimensional scales. The infinite interconnections. Pure pleasure to see
Arctic Frogs can do the same

It's so fascinating, this world is
Around the survivors, a perimeter create!
It sure is
Magnificent, God's creation, Subhan Allah

This insect is so fascinating but the cryogenic like this insect without death is still a challenge for humankind..
Thanks..
Yeah, we need to freeze all terminally ill patients till we have a cure for their illnesses.
The way they put camera near the insect is awesome
Really? That's cool 😎
how could this be filmed?.......such a fantastic work to show a creepy Insect - no other animal class has developed such a diversity of species, and most of them can fly....but, freeze to survive??👀
Thanks BBC Earth! ✨
Don't u know it's the king Kong's island 😉
@@theenlightenedone1283 😄
If you watch BBC earth behind the scene, they usually film this kind of shoots in a controlled environment, so very likely this wasn't film inside a cave, but on a set to emulate the environments as best as they could, of course most other shoots of larger subjects are filmed on site where the crews battle the elements head on and might take months to get the shoots they want.
@@LeiCal69 Thank you! 👍
Well...there actually a documentary about how BBC does it. and its actually very cruel. This isnt a real world environment. its a "stage set" like a movie.
You dont have to look too carefully to notice the lighting isnt natural.
But more importantly, in many cases, they are set up, like when a snake goes after a mouse, it was a closed anvironment and the mouse was placed in front of the snake.
In situations like this, lets say the creature dies and doesnt make it for the next shot, they will just use another creature. if you pay attention, you can notice differences in these creatures. also not saying it happens 100% of the time, but most of the time.
Wetas have always been so creepily fascinating to me. I hear from instagram they may actually attack things that go near their trees. Theres also a gnarly video of one being handle and ruthlessly trying to rip the persons fingers off. They do not like being taken away from their homes whatsoever.
I live in New Zealand but hmm that’s unusual…They’re usually really friendly to handle. I’ve picked them up so many times and everyone else is encouraged to if they’re found on roads etc they’re pretty harmless to humans
@@anasdanoun3128 I've had some unpleasant encounters with large male wetas. When they sink their mandibles into your fingers you certainly know it!
@Stella Hoenheim yes, agreed, if by it you mean yourself.
@@Zaihanisme got emmmmmmm 😂🤝
This would be integral for interstellar travel one day.
There's a big difference between humans and insects
@@grievouscontent But it wouldn't surprise me if scientists are not studying this insect to see if they can find a way to duplicate this in humans, just like they study a variety of other animals to see if humans can one day do what those animals do.
nah
@@AnansitheSpider8 Like I said, insects and humans are very different. Just look at moisture levels in an insect, the percentage is very small, if we were to freeze then there would be permanent damage to our muscle tissue because we are warm blooded mammals, and mammals have a huge percentage of water in their bodies typically, and water freezes so our tissue would expand and contract; even our bones would take severe damage I bet. Also, insects, like this one here, have exoskeletons. We do not. Anyway, in order for us to do this we would have to die, then be resurrected. Good luck finding a way to ressurect a block of ice, which we would literally be.
@@grievouscontent Yeah sure mate but still, this insect is huge and adaptation that it has is really awesome, there still could be lots of useful things to learn from it. Points you mentioned is long known, but in future who knows what kind of genius ways ppl could make to get us closer to cryo-sleep tech :)
Him: "It freezes itself to death. "
Me: " Wait! What? But, why? "
Also him: " Nearly. "
Me: " Ah! Never mind. "
That was awesome
what a design ❤️
God is sooooo Great....
Whats more amazing than the insect is the incredible footage
سبحان الله خلق كل شيء فأحسن خلقه
يخلق ما يشاء , سبحان الله
So basically, It goes to sleep during winter and wakes up again when it's over
Nope. It freezes then unthaws. Something you and I or any mammal can not do.
Who created it who designed it who.
Every design has a designer. It is Allah the creator of heaven and earth and whats between them.
NOT evolution not aliens ...
Freeze overnight, next morning it defrost when sun comes out. Video didn’t say whole winter season, next time pay attention okay?
@@DaveBuildsThingsThere are reptiles that can do that.
@@Dave-gk6si There are reptiles that can get cold. But freeze into a solid, no so much. Freezing causes the blood cells and other cells to fracture unless you have this critters cool (pun intended) trick.
The world never ceases to amaze me
I've seen these guys once or twice when I went skiing one time no idea they had such an amazing ability
Subhanallah! Another of God's beautiful creations.
Very interesting for human to do long spatial exploration.
I love the sound they add of animals eating and walking lol
Awesome! I love these kind of animal stories!!!
سبحان بديع السماوات والارض
Astonishing. Thanks.
What an intelligent design this insect is
Exactly. Random unguided process/naturalism did not and cannot create, far less give this.
Magnificent Is Your
Creation Lord 🙏❤🕊
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك
Fantastic!
Mother nature is amazing.
Amazing!!!!
Imagine being in deep sleep but conscious for decades it would to be torture
This insect is unconscious, almost all cellular activity comes to a standstill therefore consciousness disappears. It's only when the body of this insect starts to warm up that it's awareness and consciousness begins to come back.
All you have to do is imagine going to bed tonight and instead of having that 8 hours pass by in a split second, imagine literally sitting there for 8 hours with your eyes closed. It's a good thing consciousness is turned off or else sleeping would suck

Absolutely amazing!!!
This channel presentation is upper level
That is magnificent.
Extraordinary
ok, cool, but this insect has the same size like a mouse? goodness...
Tarantula can get bigger as a plate
Stick insects can measure the same length as your arm from fingers to elbow...
You wouldn't believe that there was once a giant myriapod that trampled the forest floors 300 million years ago, and it was larger than 2 meters long

amazing...
Just love his voice
Amazing
So this the reason Weta betta then other cricket. Good to know.
I genuinely wonder if such a drastic procedure has any negative effects on its life-span; despite best efforts, some cells and tissues are certainly going to be damaged. It would be good to see a controlled study between crickets kept constantly warm vs crickets frozen for a winter.
Lmao you're just assuming, I'm assuming they live as longs they're supposed to considering they don't die when they're frozen 😂
@S B Random mutations and natural selection can't do this complex process.
That's negated by their ability to survive
@@KingKing-ny2ew yes it can basically a random mutation caused this therefore those with it survive and no others do
Unbelievable
سبحان الخالق!
Awesome
amazing creatures!
beauty
Nothing like stopping by your local ice-cream shop for some frozen Wetas with your friends. Though honestly I prefer them thawed, and wriggling 🤫
Stuff like this just straight up makes me say, "cooool..."
Subhan allah
It freezes 80% of it's body? What happens to the other 20%? How do the unfrozen parts/organs function with ice for company? Does the brain remain unfrozen?
Heart? Blood?
someone? any answers??
I'm pretty sure it relies on something called permafrost, But I don't study insects
They have a natural antifreeze in their blood called hemolymph which contains low molecular weight cryoprotectants such as amino acids(proline) and the disaccharide trehalose(glucose). They're jam-packed full of glycoproteins which is what allows them to freeze approx 85% of their fluids without damaging cells. The amino acids and sugars help decreases the ice content colligatively; however, they also have a direct protective effect on membranes and proteins via direct interaction or by modifying the water layer with the closest proximity to the molecules. The remainder 15-20% is when suspended animation(temporary slowing/stopping of biological function so physiological capabilities are preserved) is activated to keep the other organs unfrozen.
But the Alpine Tree Weta, also in NZ, can actually survive being 100% frozen.
The insects do not have a single organ for brain,insted they have clusters of neurons throughout their body.....so even if 20 per cent is left unfrozen some parts of neurological activity maybe left undisturbed. And they don't have a heart too, the blood(a thick viscous fluid in them) is present all inside surrounding the organs. They have very primitive and different physiology compared to complex better evolved animals. Suspended animation is what happens to this insect when frozen,it means that the metabolism and other life functions are reduced to bare minimum for a prolonged time so as to sustain life. Ofcourse it can be possible only to a certain period of time beyond which the insect will die.
Very interesting !! Thank you so much, BBC Earth. 💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😊🌹❤🙋♀️
Hello Catherine,how are you doing today ??hope you’re having a wonderful day today??
Mashaallah subhaanallah beautiful creations of Allah almighty#royalrecipes
A bug can do this but we can't?
thats meane evolution is bolshiet
Not all creatures need the same adaptations to survive. We (as a species) learned how to make tools and fire. And we haven't even existed that long as a species.
Humans did start evolving for colder climates. Humans arose in Africa for the most part and some humans ended up migrating North. Those humans ended up losing a lot of pigmentation in their skin because they didn't have so much sunlight anymore, they ended up evolving smaller noses and smaller lips because heat conservation was more important than heat dissipation.
So we did kind of evolve for the cold but ultimately we were never put to the test as much as most other animals were. As we moved North we began to use clothing and tools to keep us warm. I'm sure if we evolved in the snow we would look a lot different than we do now
Taking freeze tag to another level
Awesome👍👍
Weta be like after waking up from cyro sleep: wait YOU THERE GRASSHOPPER WHAT YEAR IS IT ?
I wish I can freeze to survive this Pandemic
very cool
🤔🤔🤯👏🏽🥳🤩🥶😶🌫️🤗 I had 12 emotions watching this from shock to happiness.
Haha
A really interesting strategy
Subhan Allah
well that was cool !
wow...
سبحان الخالق
Wowww 😵😵😵
Yay! BBC earth has new tv progam
wow
FASCINTING G-D creating fascinating creatures
Cool!
Great insect with great charecteris!
Good
And the Weta is a important insect in New Zealand
He's so cool like littrealy cool
This might be my favorite insect
All video 👌
insect are cool
Like what?? How cool is this? Nature it's amazing!
Nice
Wow nice natural ice
Your telling me you’ve never seen natural ice?
Subhanallah.
Hats off to the camera work
Giant Weta are cool
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
سبحان الله
سبحان الله العظيم
Lov' me some weird insects, simple as
That's incredible! Thank you!
WHAAAATTTT, this is INSANE
Allahuekber
I can't even sleep when I am cold
Good! Stay in New Zealand.
I bet it dreams the whole time about a holiday in San Diego
سبحان الله... Glory be to Allah
Shut up and learn to give science it’s due credits.
Why was the frozen weta sad?
Because his partner gave him the cold shoulder
stop.
