the size of a ping pong ball
the desert rain frog
to avoid frying to a crisp
by day
this amphibian hides deep in the sand
[Music]
but when the conditions are just right
he emerges to feed
[Music]
trudging up to 50 yards
he calmly noses around for insects
[Music]
while an immaculate warfare
[Music]
[Music]
primes itself for ambush
this tiny snake can only strike prey
closer than four inches
a parabootha scorpion
uses hair-like feelers to detect the
tiniest movement
the frog mustn’t stir
or he’ll trigger a deadly attack from
her stinging tail
[Music]
but waiting is what he’s good at
[Music]
so
at last
a colony of termites
busily harvesting dune grass
[Music]
[Music]
they’re packed with protein and fat
[Music]
you’ll force down up to 100 in a
[Music]
i city
[Music]
