My Baby Crocodile is Hunting Land Creatures in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- My new baby crocodilian (spectacled caiman) has officially learned how to crawl onto the land and hunt for the various creatures within my giant cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora. The rainforest ecosystem is forever changed, and I didn't expect the little croc to ever be so land born, but it turns out, it is an avid hunter in both water and land. This is a story of how I discovered what my baby croc has been up to at night during his terrestrial sprees, what creatures he's been eating, and the secrets he's been hiding. Hope you enjoy Season 2, Episode 10 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I'm not a croc expert, but I have heard that some crocs and gators will swallow small pebbles to help digest their food. I think that's what the caiman is trying to do at 16:06.
Scrolled so long for this.
@Ellistar, lol me too.
Just like their close relative, Birds!
Kinda like how dogs will eat grass to aid in digestion or to force themselves to throw up?
I was thinking that too but wanted to scroll to find some one else who though the same. As with you, i am no croc expert but it does seem like what he was doing. My Beardy would take in mouth fulls of sand at times too and i was told that was what he was doing.
It's inevitable to name him Godzilla
Maybe even croczilla
Fr😂
How bout Gojira 😅
Maybe we call him Goijra instead, just because the whole fantasy thing going on (I mean that most of the characters seem to have a some sort of mythical-ish naming scheme thing going on with them)
Doug
Seriously, This looks a lot better then some movie out there!! The drama, music, the camera, angle, The ASMR! the suspense, and narrative, all are amazing
Thanks for watching!
This guy has come from ants to alligators in only like 14 years, I’m not even gonna lie he’s going to have a dinosaur park in a year 💀

@@AntsCanada 💀😭🙏
@@AntsCanadaI would love to see a 1000km ecosystem.with lions and elephants one day lol
Btw I feel like you should add the weavers after the canopy extension is done
I legitimately laughed out loud that there was this whole rainforest vivarium, and meanwhile Emperor Silverio was just chillin in his own bachelor pad, watching traffic
I did actually wonder. If separating them after mating meant he could keep mating with other female mantises, I'd understand, but if retirement meant just living in a box alone... What if he Would Have preferred to be eaten by his Empress so he could help nourish their future brood? Like, I understand being vigilant before and during, to make sure he didn't get eaten BEFORE he fertilized her eggs. But. After he was done? Eat him, mama! XD or maybe if he did enjoy his retirement until he peacefully died, his body could have been offered directly to Wifey? No?
@@tahirihmaddela yeah no they dont really think that complexly 😅
Yeah, I know. And either way he fed back into the vivarium, but still~
@@tahirihmaddela oh god not the squiggly line
24:41 emperor silverio is no longer chillin in his bachelor pad watching traffic
It’s crazy how he started in a small house in Canada with a few ants to this!!! Amazing
Have you watched him since the beginning?
@@M5TABBYCAT yes
11:15 as a person who’s spent enough time in Florida- I can tell you, crocodilians will end up literally anywhere it’s insane
Sobek. The Egyptian Crocodile God of strength and power.
Thishis the only name I like equally or even more than the one I chose. Love the ties to history
I think that croczilla is better
Sobek ftw
sobek heck yah
I love it
At first I voted for the name Godzilla, but after realizing the name Irwin was suggested as a tribute to Steve Irwin, I think that’s got to be the way to go 💚
It looks like it'll be between Godzilla and Irwin. I hope he does a follow-up poll so the Dingo, Chompy, & Rex voters can recast. Godzilla is epic but Irwin is legendary.
Going would fit the fantasy vibe
Crikey!
Nah best name for a male crocodilian is Sebek, after the god of crocodilians in Egyptian mythology
Goji is a nickname among Godzilla fans, and is a much cuter name for a small guy like this Caiman.
I don't have much interest in animals, let alone ants, but here I am waiting for this show every week more than any series.
You might be like me, I’m in love with love. This guy has so much love to give its addicting. 💞🤟
I never liked insects as a whole but this guy man made me wait for his episode every week
you are not alone :)
I’m emotionally invested in Pantdora
I can’t wait for the canopy expansion
Same here. I was randomly recommended his channel and I have been hooked ever since.
AC- I know in some older Caimans they are known to have eaten stones or other debris to help with anti buoyancy and to help aid with digestion. After they feed they are most vulnerable as they are having to digest their food. But I am sure you probably know way more than I am saying. Plus others that watch this video know 1000 times more than I know. I really enjoy your videos!!
I would personally name him Irwin in honor and tribute of Steve, the Crocodile Hunter, arguably the greatest conservationist we, as wildlife enthusiasts, ever had the privilege of watching. He’s a hero of mine and a man who inspired so many others to take on the responsibility we have as a species to protect the beautiful world we live in. Nowadays, his family and children continue to uphold his legacy, never resting in spreading his message of conservation and awareness for the often misunderstood creatures that inhabit this planet along with us. The foremost of which being crocodilians. We don’t deserve the Irwins.
Irwin or no name at all!
He is a caiman, though. 😊❤
@@Zyryne1That doesn't matter, he's still a member of the crocodilian family & a reptile... Steve Irwin didn't just work with crocodiles...All kinds of reptiles, amphibians, sharks/sea life, & mammals...You obviously don't know anything about him to make a stupid comment like that thinking you're quite smart with your smiley face when it actually makes you look uneducated AF...
🤦🏼♀️ Smdh....💯
@@Zyryne1caimans are crocodilians though. So still fitting
I agree with that! Great idea!
Is there award shows for youtube series?! Hands down this is #1. Educating, entertaining, humor, drama, cinematography, story, really has it all. 🤙🏾 I hope our views are enough to keep this channel alive forever.
im thinking the EXACT SAME
There was
I agree. My grandson looks forward to watching with us every time it comes on. Thanks for what you do. Keep up the excellent work.
Love this idea!!!❤
The Streamy Awards. Idk if they’re still hosting them tho
I remember watching a single video thinking this would just be a one off view but now I’m fully invested in the creation of the next biome
Happened to me too, I just wanted to watch some ants!
Years ago, I watched one of his videos where he put two ant colonies together and wanted to see what they would do. I thought it would be cool and was half-interested, but it got me fully invested in his channel and now I watch every single one of his uploads lol
happened to me too except 10 years ago, its ant love forever
Why are These stupid Bot's taking over CZcams
Steve Irwin the spectacled Caiman.
It just seems so fitting to tribute steve this way in a show thats so educational based.
Spectacled Caimans actually are very terrestrial for crocodilians, traveling relatively far inland especially at night. This is part of why the species is vulnerable to jaguars.
Isn’t everything vulnerable to jaguars though? I mean they’re jaguars, I’ve seen the videos of them killing crocs in water. Those things pack a serious punch in that bite
@@master_zar yes dont think he would get enough exercise just in that little water pool
@@master_zar Those videos are rare moments often taken due to opportunism or seasonal stress causing the jaguar to be more daring in taking prey. I mean logically if a jaguar has a buffet of options why would it choose the option that is most likely to cause injury and meeting that prey in its own element where the jaguar is at a disadvantage?
Caiman aren't normally part of their diet but spectacled caiman spending more time on land triggers opportunistic predation more often than other caiman species.
I wonder, regarding AntsCanada's plan to move the caiman to the outdoor pond, if he'll also need a terrestrial space? Or do they stay in the water when they're adults?
@@master_zar no bigger crocs are not
It started with ants going to war in your small apartment, it’s now got a study of an entire ecosystem that is being shared online! ❤❤❤
I liked my own comment
@@hellnawdaw i touched your comment >:C
Its started of a guy who want to share his hobbies turn to animal documentaries
@@hellnawdaw good for you buddy
I remember the good old days when he used the lowest quality recording and look at him now. I remember the comments screaming to “get this man a 4K camera!!!” YEARS ago. Great times seeing this epic improvement.
Same I was like a 16 year old in high school watching his videos, now I’m 23 and so much has happened since then
He also needs to start drifting away from the 4pm childrens programme approach, He has all the talent to be something bigger than this.
Lmao I remember him mentioning building larger tanks right before I went to college and fell off the channel for a couple years, but actually seeing them is crazy. He was not exaggerating! Your dedication and passion always wows me. Glad to see the channel is still growing strong.
I've been watching too many of these videos. I now hear AntsCanada's voice in the background when I go about my daily life. "It looks like hunger has driven our little human from the comfort of his bedroom and he can be found in the kitchen microwaving what's left of last night's pizza."
😅
@@AntsCanada I think you should’ve found a way to properly keep the weaver ants safe before you put them and their eggs in the terrarium. Normally they’d be on a high leaf where they’d be safe from ground predators and the queens could easily defend from a single angle; from the leaf’s stem. You should’ve found a way to keep them covered and safe from outside predators, or waited until the colony was more mature first. Pandora was full of dangers to them; especially the sun skinks, you unfortunately left them as easy targets for predators
*Fridge opens* "Have a look!"
*Is Empty* "What has happened to the bounty of these lands?"
@@AntsCanada can you bring back the ac question of the week please
@@jiaweisa845 its how nature works, to be fair
I think Irwin would be such a great name for the little fella

I second the name "Irwin"
jup
This episode made me cry. I’ve been watching your channel since I was 17, I am now turning 25. Thank you ants Canada, for giving me the best bedtime stories even after all these years.
This channel is awesome
1 question. How big is this rain forest?
omg, I dunno but I'm amazed by this so much. It's like experiencing wildlife inside a home. This type of environment makes me feel real, like real life.. I can't explain it
This honestly beats most nature documentaries out there, the camera work is 10/10 and you get to follow the insects and other inhabitants around, getting attached to them.
This is the equivalent of adding an Indominus-Rex to Isla Nubar 💀
The only difference being that this caiman is a natural predator and not a hybrid (that’s the only difference😭)
Worse because this Caiman is the apex predator on both land and Water.
@@SaurianAnimates65 Fair lol
@@maverick9334 Truth!
Or adding godzilla to tokyo
I vote to call him Irwin after the crocodile legend himself
Me too 17:21
Me three!
Hey Mikey! Long time follower here. I can't believe you really did this man. Been here since before the merch and the modular farms. It just truly amazes me brother. You are a true friend of all creatures. You bring understanding and wisdom. I remember when you upgraded to 4K. You brought them to us like never seen before on CZcams. You were giving us NatGeo quality. I am just so happy for you and all that you've done. From the pop music to this. Man you are a blessing to all creatures. This is a family TV show for us. We love you. We wish you nothing but the best.
I've never been as invested in a YT series before, it's like my weekly soap opera
Ive been a viewer for some years now, I muxt say, this is a show, a legit show. This is more interesting then what they show in tv now a days.
I feel like your crocodile is gonna grow much faster than the other little crocodiles, because he does not have any competition for food
Indeed it will. They still don't grow too fast, but no comp for food or the space it's in will lead to slightly increased growth.
He should add mice in
And an owl
And my axe!
And my crow!
I've never seen an indoor ecosystem like that. I am highly impressed 💯
The caymans eyes are so wild.. almost cgi ish. Its beyond beautiful
I'm glad you clarified that crocky was too small to mess with the frogs. When you said Miss Piggy might be ready to spawn in the pond, I immediately thought oh noes..She's gonna be a missing Piggy soon!
I thought the same thing.
@@BlackDragon45132Tbf most of them are gonna get got by ants n shiz
That was my thought. Might have to intervene so some survive
I was more concerned about the future tadpoles.
My 5 year old loves these videos! I've just made him a little aquarium and he's all about the scary guys. No Crocs in this house!
STEVE or IRWIN would be great names for lil croc.. No explanation needed
Explain
@@chosensoul323 steve irwin, the crocodile guy.
He looks like a Steve too
I don't understand. Irwin after the car dealerships? Steve after the guy in that song "Your best friend Steve"?
@@wwbcwpSteve Irwin was an awesome, Australian crocodile guy who passed away due getting stung by a stingray.
Steve the croc, named after the late steve irwin
OMG YOU POSTED THIS AS WELL!!! LOL I think Steve would be AWESOME!!!
Awesome Idea!
my suggestion was Crocodile Hun Gree
One of his options is Irwin which I like a little better.
Caimans are more like alligators than crocodiles
I never thought a baby caiman struggling to eat a roach would be so adorable to me.
eating machine 3000
i love how you when you panned the camera to the caiman it was just waiting for you smiling
Striker would be a fitting name for him . He’s quick and strikes fast !
16:18 he is swallowing pointy stuff to help with digestion
I swear I've never been so addicted to any series like this
100%. Brings me peace.
Aside from cringey roach singing
He’s a genius at story telling among other things
Every Sunday for me!!!
@22:12
One of the most exciting things about aquarium/terrarium building is having your animals discovery things and what you’ve built that you didn’t notice.💜 How exciting! I didn’t catch this part of the video the first time I watched it.😁
Croc has to be called Irwin, fitting testament to a truly remarkable man
Definitely Irwin
irwin the piece of poopoo you mean
Poopoo irwin
Yes please irwin
Irwin works for me too. Everything I thought up is lame compared to that. Or name him Steve.
The caiman chomping on the roach and then spitting it out to chomp some more on it was strangely adorable for a scene of carnivorous predation. He's so dang cute! And so small! That roach was almost as big as his head! When he gets bigger, he's going to be terrifying.
Aww, the caiman found himself a hide. No wonder he was calmer, he found a place he can get some privacy.
Your shot of the lil croc fren snoozing with a full stomach against the glass is so adorable~
Beautiful environment. The caiman was a great addition. He is beautiful. He’s an Einstein when it comes to adapting. Crocodilians adapt fast when they have food access.
National Geographic is gonna be absolutely overpowered by antscanada soon
Yeah lol
as it should be
Couple years antscanada gonna be sponsored by nat geo or be offered his own show by them all expenses paid
I love Nat Geo!!! ❤
Wound’t be suprised
Smaug looks so sumg in his cozy moss blanket. "Yeah I ate the weaver queen, and I'll do it again!"
he found out smaug is actually female incase u missed
I stumbled upon this channel by sheer happenstance, and I have to say I’m addicted already lol🤷♂️. This is probably the best content I’ve seen on CZcams…..EVER! You get all of the excitement, drama, and weird creatures, and they aren’t human for a change😆😆😆😉.
this is some of the best animal footage ever! The cayman looks so clear it's almost like cgi, the lighting and "set" is so beautiful.
Crocodile expert here; There's two options, one the baby croc was trying to eat pebbles to help him digest the food, and two he wanted a caesar salad with his meal
Is 60 ft enough for a croc?
I believe the caiman is performing gastroliths which is where the caiman swallows stones to aid in digestion but as there are no stones small enough for the caiman to eat, it is just biting the ground looking for one. The caiman is after stones to grind up the tough exoskeletons of the cockroaches.
This man’s passion and creativity are a beautiful thing to behold. The passion and attention to detail put into this magnificent vivarium combined with his videography and storytelling skills is just euphoric for a biophile to behold.
Artistic expression at its finest
"Crikey", the croc!, for the late great Steve Irwin.😊
As a creature born in captivity, he's pretty lucky to get this kind of experience before being released into the lake outside
That lunge to grab the roach was amazingly fast, I slowed the video down to 1/4 speed and it still lasted barely a frame.
I honestly had no idea they could be that fast
Ikr??!!!! I was going to show an instant replay in slowmo but realized it's no use! All you see is blur for like 1 frame! Lol
@@AntsCanadaI am here to contact you about your aviary channels extended warranty
Good luck handling it when it gets older…..
Great vid. A high frame rate camera so we can see those caiman attacks in slow-motion would make it even more impressive
It would be nice to see small flying insects in this Vivarium, perhaps small butterflies. It would be great to witness metamorphosis inside.
You have no idea how much i need these videos. They relax me and get my mind off problems I cant solve just for a few minutes. But it helps all the way through the week. Thank you not only for what you do, but for the passion you show as well.
So true, me too
Hail Irwin, Duke of Aqua Noctis!!!!!!

Again, amazed at how you capture life in your own created rainforest. So fulfilling to see how Steve is crawling onto land and is eating. Looks so beautiful! You made my day... again! Keep up the great work! :)

Has there ever been another indoor, human-created enclosure made for animals to live in, that regularly has insects trying to get IN? I mean seriously, this is like the 3rd or 4th time that there have been animals on the outside of the glass just hanging out. Like a fly on a window trying to get out, these guys are trying to get back in. That’s a true testament to how natural this system is. You created a truly self contained ecosystem with a balanced life cycle. I absolutely love this channel and tell all my friends about it.

It's so funny I've been living in central FL since 2008 and I spend a lot of time outside, and I have yet to see a mantis.
I'm from East Central Illinois and there were giant brown mantis everywhere up there, especially in the late spring and early summer youd see them right out in the open hanging out on tree trunks. And they were very people friendly and didn't mind being picked up and gently handled for a few minutes.
I just find it amazing because where I'm from in Illinois there are 3 months exactly of actual summer weather and by early September you will quickly have frost on the ground in the morning time. And it gets cold quickly.
Mantis were all over the place.
I have not seen one yet since I've been in Florida. I'm sure they're here, maybe its just because I live in a busy city. There used to be armadillo here too and you dont see those anymore either anywhere, and I've talked to people who remember flamingos being here in the 1970s and those definitely are nowhere to be seen here anymore. I've seen one in the time I've been here and it was flying overhead when I saw it. There's just too many people here and there are more and more people by the day and fewer and fewer species of unique native wild life to be seen around here anymore.
It will be awesome to see your ecosystem with mantises, that will certainly add to the action going on around there.
That croc expert who told you “OHHH it’s no problem! You can house a croc in here” etc etc….is passionate about crocodilians. He isn’t loyal to the creatures of Pandora….whom we (and especially you) have come to care for and who were there first. He is most definitely going to injure and/or eat Daenerys and Smaugette….sooner than you expect….mark my words….unless you take greater precautions. That croc belongs in its own ecosystem….or Pandora needs to be much larger to give the smaller animals room to hide…the canopy should really help and can’t arrive soon enough, in my opinion!
I still love and appreciate all of your videos! I look forward to them each week!
I agree. It will eat anything that comes near it. It will also grow rapidly.
It's as he said in the video, he's too young rn to be worrying about the skinks or the frogs. Most reptiles don't eat what can't fit in their mouth as a general rule and the Caiman is gonna be moved out long before then since it's a very slow grower
I think getting a croc at all was a pretty impulsive choice.. Yes, he probably researched like crazy, but it just doesn't sit well with me. If it injures any of his bigger animals in there I'm just not watching this series anymore.
@@jane-gp2cconly if bigger animals die? Why is the size of the animal what makes you uneasy? if youre fine with the Croc killing roaches becuase that's the circle of life than you also have to accept theyll eat other things in there. Just because you personify and like the bigger animals more doesnt make them any more or less valuable as food or other key roles in the ecosystem.
I think even now the skinks are capable of making refuge well out of reach of the caiman, but the swamp vivarium will act as the crocs ecosystem before it's fully grown and the added vivariums will help even more. He's taken plenty of precaution imo.
Bro you really need a hd slow mo camera for those croc attacks
I second that... I subscribed few minutes ago ☺️☺️ first vid was you introducing Irwin to the forest ❤️
I like it better at speed. It shows you the sheer overwhelming advantage he has.
You should name him Goji, a subtle nod to the monstrous Godzilla. A regal name for a divine creature in Pantdora
Why is it the clever comments have no likes and stupid ones like "GODZILLA" have thousands... I hate that he's gonna have to pick that name because it's the most popular when it's so on the nose compared to something like Goji
@MrCaptainTea there's been a bunch of comments about naming him irwin, which kinda works more?.
@@alisonlaw I really like that one too cuz I loved Steve Irwin but anything's better than Godzilla lol

And Irwin is the perfect name for the croc paying homage to the goat himself.

Poor Man, hope it didn't bite you!
Woke up once to something tickling my arm, spent a minute blinking drowsily at it before realizing it was a house spider and freaking out 😖
Used to watch this channel and came back when I searched up vivarium. Was not disappointed, this is amazing!
Croc is likely looking for small rocks to help with digestion. 16:06
Thank you for doing the arachnophobia warning so consistently. My daughter is terrified of spiders so being able to look away is important
I don’t have arachnophobia. I don’t understand how people can get scared just by looking at spiders.
@@Warriorcat947It's almost like it's a phobia. Literally irrational fear
I woke early this morning ready for a productive day but got onto CZcams clicked the first video in the algorithm and I got so hooked by this series I binged watched every episode!!! It’s 22 videos so far that’s around 11hrs of non stop watching… Today was my only day off… and I’m not some biology enthusiast I have no idea why this was recommended to me but I’m so glad it was I don’t regret anything! Best day off ever!!!
Welcome to the family
This is amazing. I have never watched a baby caimen eat, hunt, grow up etc.
Truly amazing footage.
16:15 he smelled where he spit out the roach. He was making sure they was no potential food remaining. -Self proclaimed crocodile expert
Caiman are very terrestrial. The smaller species more so, so they need enclosures that provide a larger land area relative to other crocodilians
Call him "Dundee"
Love this 😆😆
You have to be a bit of an old head to understand this one haha
I second this motion!!!!
That’s not a knife…. 😂 I voted Dundee too! 💞🤟
Yeah
The baby croc knew just what to do. He will slowly become more comfortable in his environment and slowly learn the giant 2 legged creature that brings food is not a threat.
SOBEK WOULD BE AN AMAZING NAME IYKYK
>wants a self sustaining vivarium that operates with little to no outside interference
>adds croc
Yeah I'm also kind of put off by it. Same with the mammals he plans for the canopy, he's just letting them in when he films to mess around, that's not a self sustaining ecosystem.
I agree. This is going past just a self sustaining vivarium. He's honestly interfered alot. Starting insistent need add more ants, bottles, spiders, and etc when numbers drop an he sees less. Or like when had mites an he change temp etc to see more activity.
SO TRUE
ungrateful mf. there are other vivariums out there. people enjoy a story in his videos that is why he is constantly developing it.
@@sarhahillsburg5142 Life is messy. Life also sucks. Finally, life sometimes is awful. Interfering with actual environmental variable, like lowering the temperature or introducing wandering creatures is perfectly valid. Furthermore interference like providing nutrients to make sure complex projects take root is equally valid as migrations and generic environmental cycles affect likewise. If he wants to document the effects of a particular species, what is wrong with introducing even tens of individuals until a gene line takes root?
Caiman is an anagram of Maniac. It's perfect.
the whole scene where the croc was on land and hunting the roach actually reminded me of some type of real Jurassic park. It doesnt even look like they are small
since i doubt you'll get larger crocs i think the perfect name for your Caiman should be Sobek
3:15 Imagine being near a cave and a giant eye looks out like this!😮😮
This is by far the most interesting piece of media I've ever seen on this website, i've never been this hooked to a youtube series.
It feels like chompy matches his personinality, it sounds like a great name, and I remember in the last episode he was chomping on some foods, including this episode
I second this notion. You beat me to the name lol
I called him Mr Chompy last week.
Personality? It eats bugs!
I’m joking btw
Chomper
This is the coolest thing i've seen on youtube thus far. Maybe you should make other ecosystems and different environments along with the prey, and predators that rule the according environment. That would be so dope. I wouldve never been interested in these animals like this if it werent for this cool enclosed landscape sort of thing. Very dope!
