This is Animals on Glass, a short compilation shot by the Wakaleo Animal Channel of a number of different animals filmed from underneath through a glass table. A change in perspective, that’s cool. A lot of those animals looked wild from below. Were the mealworms really necessary though? They look
This is an almost 4-mile drone flight up the French alps piloted by Romano FPV starting from Chamonix (altitude: 3379-ft) to the peak of Aiguille du Midi (altitude: 12,605-ft). That’s an altitude gain of 9,226 feet, or 1.75-miles. Damn, I would probably have trouble breathing all the way up there.
WARNING: Possibly triggering if you have trypophobia or a general aversion to nastiness. Seen here looking like a dentist’s worst nightmare, this is a video from Photo Owl Time Lapse of a look inside a watermelon as it rots over the course of 128 days. Well, technically the watermelon collapses
This is a video of pet octopus Marty (who I believe is an Octopus bimaculatus, aka Verrill’s two-spot octopus) opening a closed jar just moments after being exposed to one for the first time. That’s impressive. How we knew to turn it is beyond me, and certainly beyond my roommate,

It sounds just as trippy as
This is a video of a pet sulcata tortoise named Seamus (aka the Bulldozer and The Crazy Dinosaur on TikTok) vigorously humping a basketball when he decides to bring his new girlfriend inside to meet the family and attempts to come through the dog door. Meanwhile, the family’s actual dog
This is a video of doctor of evolutionary biology ChuckDarwin (I guess he was cryogenically frozen?) discussing the extra ocelli (Latin: little eyes) some insects have, and their purpose. According to research, the simple eyes only gather information about light and dark, and help flying insects maintain their orientation to
In news that shouldn’t surprise anybody who’s ever been tasked with working with other people, large groups of ants were able to solve the piano mover’s puzzle better than large human groups in recent experiments conducted by the Weizmann Institute. The study found that individually or in small groups humans
