The wonders of nature...never ceases to amaze me
@@Noxciy Nature is the new God for Atheists, mate! All praise belongs to Allah (God) for creating such wonders!
@Reginheri What makes you think that I believe in fairytales?
Amen to that
Aka “damn nature… yu scary”
So true
If Sir hadn't showed and explained this, I would have thought that's a flowering cactus species.
All cacti flower but they aren't long and tubular like those mistletoes. Generally cacti have a large hypanthium and attractive actinomorphic flowers with indeterminate numbers of showy tepals spirally arranged.
Same here
@@tyedye1107 with a sprinke of zygomorphic cacti, here and there! Schlumbergera are a nice change of pace :)

Makes me wonder if that parasite is an animal ? Virus? Or a plant ?
Parasitic plant ?
Bro, imagine being a cactus, minding your own business with your spiky defences then you get defeated by bird poo.
I can’t believe I lived for 17 years as a nature enthusiast and have never even heard of this plant once
I know !!!!! First time for me as well.....hi from Canada !!!
I’m sure there are ma t plants that people have never heard of . I have allways been a animal lover and there is so many dog breeds out there now I never heard of till recently . Mix of this breed with this breed so wild
@@raintree3383 go Canadian truckers!!
@@nycoolj3 HEY !!!!! Yes absolutely.....I am super proud and excited....love from Alberta
True
In Chile we call this parasitic plant "Quintral" and Mapuche people (one of our indigenous tribes) use the "Quintral" that grows on Maqui trees to treat migraines and improve memory. And the one shown above (Quintral del Quisco) is said to lower cholesterol levels. Always dreamed of seeing a timelapse of it. Sooo beautifully recorded 🥲 Gracias 💙
🦉🪶For the bird lovers: Tenca (Chilean mockingbird), Picaflor Chico (Green-backed firecrown hummingbird), Cóndor (Andean Condor)

Thankyou
Amazing thanks ha na for sharing this info
How fascinating thanks
Thanks so much for the extra knowledge bro 👍🏻
I'm amazed at the patience of the camera crew. They must have spent ages waiting around with cameras pointed at random cactuses waiting for a bird to show up.
What about the guys who make the sounds 😀
@@Rebotified Those guys are called birds ;)
Birb is a paid actor. And we all know birds are not real and government spy :P

BBC earth yes.. however, the BBC international is doing propagandas and defending for the British invades for years..
czcams.com/video/KsrER8IR6_A/video.html
@@selfissimo Extreme source of propaganda for sure. There is a reason they have the nature stuff, it's to hide their true agenda, get on people's good side, while contributing to murder world-wide and trying to start a new war as we speak.
@@tisbutascratch2045 What an unbelievably painful death for the cactus though, very terrifying. 😵😞
The way how bbc shows us all this stories so amazing, just brilliant!!! Unbelievable!

Always pleasure to hear Sir Attenborough speak! May you live 100 more years!👑😁👊🏽🇨🇦🙏🏼
He wont but yea if only such a legend could
At least his narration will be immortalized as the best
Sir is great but his team is also great,his helpers,his cameramen
@@o5640 yes, the whole team is a legend group, hope they have so many younger as their student or staff, and so their legacy will always continue

I wonder how much time and effort the cinematography/team puts in creating one stunning masterpiece!
Kudos
yes that's a true masterpiece, imagine all the efforts and more than a year for these 3 minutes, I love what they do
I'm also fascinated by the sound designers' brilliant work. They sure do get some interesting briefs! 'Produce the sprouting sound of a parasitic plant that germinates from bird poo.'

Thank you so much again, for another stunning video showing us one of the countless hidden marvels of nature that we would never be able to witness without these fabulous shows of yours.
You are welcome
czcams.com/video/KsrER8IR6_A/video.html
It's so hard to understand whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. An excellent example of a cycle that goes full circle to repeat itself.
It is a good thing. It adds to biodiversity and eliminates weakened cactuses. It seems bad for the cactus in question, but it just adds another selective pressure which, long term, leads to stronger cacti.
It's neither good nor bad. It just is. Like all of the rest of nature. Things can only be good or bad in relation to a goal, and nature doesn't have a goal because it is not sentient. Humans tend to anthropomorphise nature far too much.
Good and bad are relative terms and so can't really apply to the dog eat dog dynamic of nature that is inherent to its existence and sustainability in the first place. However in more human terms, it doesn't cause any pain/suffering nor is it a threat to the cactus species extinction for instance. Meaning that it can be said that it isnt 'bad' (per se) ;)
Bad for the cactus, good for the parasitic plant
What! It poops seeds that are parasitic in nature and form plants on the cactus. I have no words for how amazing this is!
czcams.com/video/KsrER8IR6_A/video.html
Nature is truly stranger than fiction.
BBC Earth is such a treat, thank you for showing us our world.

James Earl Jones and the late Sean Connery also come to mind.
Unimaginable , what this gentleman did for us by his mesmerizing films... He opened us what the creation means... A thousand salute to SIR DAVID
just further proof of how contaminated poo is🤣🤣🤣
I'm currently taking a first-year biology class and just learned about plant structures. It was cool seeing the stoma at 1:41!
I always, always, always get goosebumps all over my body when I see any weird creepy-crawlies.
I consider it a blessing and a miracle of nature that these things are not as big as tigers, leopards, etc.
Imagine if it was the other way around, I'd go to Mars without considering if their was life there.
You would want to escape to Mars if this flower was bigger?
What?
@@Bonde7280 its called flower phobia
@@Bonde7280 I meant that worm thing.
@@amanrehman8281 it's not a worm, it's a "normal" part of a plant. The fast forwarding makes it look like it's moving quit fast, but it's moving like a normal flower aiming for the sun. You can outrun it ;)
@@troetermark man isn't that a relief XD. Fully grown I'm sure it looks quite interesting.
BBC earth is always on top when it comes to the nature documentary game
bbc is on the top on many things. but they don't not always get the respect they deserve

Fun fact: There's a species of bird aptly called the Mistletoe bird that spreads the seeds of another mistletoe species by dragging its butt along the branches of eucalyptus trees in Australia.
This is what technology was needed for. To unravel the mysteries of nature to the world. Thank you BBC, studying will never be boring with you ❤️

The shot where the Cactus was covered with flowers was oddly terrifying but so mesmerizing at the same time
This video is a work of art. The cinematography, all the frames, the direction are truly captivating. And Sir David Attenborough's voiceover is the icing on the cake :D
czcams.com/video/KsrER8IR6_A/video.html
What an unbelievably painful death for the cactus. Very slow and agonizing death.
That was just mind-blowing incredible thank you for this educating video
Nature is so magnificent. It must be preserved at all costs.
At all costs? I guess you could eliminate all people.
I never fail to learn watching Sir David Attenborough thank you to all involved.
czcams.com/video/KsrER8IR6_A/video.html
imagine being the sound expert at BBC and hearing "so, your job is to create some sound design for the sliding of bird poop"
David Attenborough can make nature seem very mysterious and educating, I can sit the whole day just listen to him
New freeloader parasite to know of. Plant type parasites are getting more cunning than its competitors. Thanks for sharing and hard work!
Getting? I think hey have been doing this for millions of years before people even evolved
I love it when David Attenborough can make poo sound interesting.
*I like the way he is explaining everything*
Hmm.... 😅

Damn props to whoever shot this amazing footage
Thank you David for such amazing contents
0:27 Okay *who* was in charge of the sound effects here??? I just wanna sit them down for a talk, promise.
Seriously who was in the audio booth thinking "Ohhh, I've seen xenomorphs and hntai, that's basically what this is."
I have seen all the greatest BBC documentaries and I must say I am still finding new wonders of nature every time.
3:03 "eye catching".. literally looks like eyes
The incredibly intricate interactions of plant and animals is the most stunning and awe inspiring phenomena. How did these plants and creatures become inter-related?!
Since Nature created me, I am in awe and am humbled in the face of billions of years of try-and-err, mix-and-match.
Coevolution can be extremely powerful.
Such amazing quality of the video, all that super expensive professional cameras and equipment used to film a bird pooping on a cactus. What a wonderful world to live in.
I live in AZ and these plants are EVERYWHERE I had no idea they were parasites!
Arizona?
This planet is incredible
Please rev 4vs 11 Ps83 vs18
The quality is beyond anything i have ever seen
There are many parasites on earth. Some of them are harmless, while others can pose a threat to life. I hear about the parasite shown in the film for the first time.
There's also another type of parasite that is a danger to our world and they may eventually destroy us. People have many names for them. Some call them Demons, some call them Roaches, But I call them Politicians. Haha sorry. I read your comment & saw this opportunity.
This video is perfect example of "There is a world beyond our imaginations" Thank You #SirDavidAttenborough and #BBC
#SaveNature 🕊️☮️✌️
This is shot beautifully.
I never knew there was a plant like that
If life like this can exist on Earth- just imagine the life on other planets
czcams.com/video/KsrER8IR6_A/video.html
I don't think we've found evidence of life on any other planet.
@@48956l you cant deny it exists- there are more stars than there is sand on earth.
Kind of curious: once it enters the seeding phase, does the plant actually die and leave the cactus, or does it continue its life cycle?
It is a persistent parasite of the plant, it never leaves, and grows deep into the roots of the cactus. It continues to live within the cactus even after its first reproduction cycle.
But hey, at least the birds get some tasty seeds :)
Just looked for this comment, thx
I live in an area with a lot of Trychocereus ( Echinopsis), a lot of them have this parasitic plant in them, they dont look like it harm them and they keep growing and
blooming as normal.
@@rajajonconcon In a few million years maybe it evolves into a symbiotic relationship like mycelium and plant roots.
Imagine it mutating somewhat and be capable of growing on/in humans, taking being a "plant dad/mom" to another level.
Applause for the sound effects guys 👏👏👏
This feels like something out of a sci-fi movie....
Wuauu!!! que interesante 😮cada ves que vi un cactus en mis salidas al cerro . Me preguntaba que porque los cactus tenia ese tipo de flor . Cuando yo habitualmente vi otra flor. Pero ya me quedo claro 😉 Yo tenia entendido que efectivamente hera un paracito. Solo que no sabia de que forma se producía. Muy interesante 👍😉
Caramba.... Que natureza esperta

Wow! I always thought that the cactuses just naturally had flowers like that 😮
Exelente!! Es probable que este video haya sido grabado en el desierto de Atacama, Chile.
Aquí, esa planta parásita la llamamos "Quintral" y ataca todo tipo de árboles y cactus 🌵, y está presente a lo largo de todo el país.

Awestruck! The patience and dedication to shoot this amazing video! Nature is indeed marvellous! SubhanAllah!
The calera work is just amaziing
Never thought I could get nightmares from a plant
That's not a mockingbird. It's a related species, a Bendire's Thrasher. [EDIT: I'm wrong, it's a Chilean mockingbird.] Otherwise, another brilliant presentation as I was totally unaware of this parasitic plant.
This particular Tristerix (Tristerix aphyllus) is endemic to Chile. Also, the bird is in fact a mockingbird, it's called Tenca (Mimus thenca) known for imitating other birds singings.
@@pyrozillah3485 you're right. I mistook the cactus for a saguaro, so I thought this video was shot in Arizona. I totally overlooked the Andean condor in the very first clip, which should have clued me to the location. Thanks for the correction.
@@JohnDrummondPhoto No problem!
Beautiful job, Sir David, but those are not white seeds. They are whole fruits known as pseudodrupes. The embryo in the center lacks a seed coat. It's the same thing with the Christmas mistletoes.
@@SGIndra Most mistletoes are hemiparasites and tap into their host plant for water/nutrients, while also photosynthesizing to varying extents from species to species or at different points during its development. Some mistletoes, such as Tristerix, are fully parasitic and live almost entirely within their host plant and do not photosynthesize. Parasitism and loss of chlorophyll/photosynthesis evolved independently in the distantly related Rafflesia.
unbelievable
This video is from Chile, we call that plant Quintral. Beautiful work !
1:56 It has got a tattoo of a random bald guy!

Deadly beauty
David’s voice is truly Wonderfull I’m so lucky to live in a time where I can here this voice.
Thanks for another amazing story. Waiting for book and DVD
The only documentaries where actual effort is made
the most amazing thing is that, cacti evolved these spines to withstand drought and fend off predators, but now this mistletoe has put a selective pressure on these hedgehog cacti (Trichocereus chiloensis), where only the individuals with the longest spines remain unparasitazied, therefore have more energy to reproduce and pass on their genes. a beautiful evolutionary armsrace you can find when you visit chile🔥🔥
Attenborough deserves his videos to be in 4K
What a strange/fascinating wonderful world
Unbelievable!
You can tell the sound man just had a field day with this one
Incredible so beautiful to witness 😍
Miraculously remarkable. Creation.
He is and ever will be my idol! David live long and blessed my friend!
Wow - amazing!
Imagine just vibing in the Gobi Desert when all of a sudden a teensy weensy bird poops on you then the next day you can feel your insides getting sucked out by a parasitic plant
