1
00:00:07,341 --> 00:00:09,841
The earth is so magnificent

2
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:13,676
that we have fewer things in life
they slip away easily.

3
00:00:15,766 --> 00:00:17,426
But if we take a closer look...

4
00:00:18,101 --> 00:00:20,561
We see an as yet undiscovered world.

5
00:00:22,648 --> 00:00:24,978
A world where tiny heroes...

6
00:00:26,485 --> 00:00:27,815
and small posts...

7
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:31,409
they need extraordinary superpowers...

8
00:00:34,618 --> 00:00:40,118
That help them overcome
many dangers.

9
00:00:53,929 --> 00:00:55,969
Jungles of Latin America,

10
00:00:57,766 --> 00:00:59,266
where many small creatures live...

11
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:00,351
NARRATED BY PAUL RUDD

12
00:01:00,435 --> 00:01:01,975
...like anywhere else.

13
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:09,145
A new life begins in waste.

14
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:15,945
Jagodnorde�a podrevnica
he carries a tadpole on his back.

15
00:01:19,288 --> 00:01:22,078
It is the size of a grain of rice.

16
00:01:35,804 --> 00:01:38,434
The underground world of the jungle is too dangerous for him.

17
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:45,648
He has to find a safe place to live.

18
00:01:49,401 --> 00:01:56,281
High above, in the crown of this 40-meter
the jungle skyscraper.

19
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,616
For a bug the size of a grape...

20
00:02:02,998 --> 00:02:05,168
it's like Mount Everest.

21
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,310
Sticky fingers allow it to grip.

22
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,731
But one slip can be fatal.

23
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:37,914
He has a varied company on the tree.

24
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:41,702
From the roots...

25
00:02:43,539 --> 00:02:44,539
...to the top.

26
00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:52,509
It can live on one tree
as many as five thousand species of tiny creatures.

27
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:10,186
It is finally in a sun-drenched crown.

28
00:03:16,655 --> 00:03:19,365
Water is retained on the pineapple leaves,

29
00:03:19,449 --> 00:03:21,079
in which the tadpole will appear.

30
00:03:29,585 --> 00:03:33,585
But because for water and space
so many small animals compete,

31
00:03:34,882 --> 00:03:37,182
life in the jungle is uncertain.

32
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,140
Only the fittest survive.

33
00:03:45,809 --> 00:03:50,399
D�UNGLA

34
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:00,615
Meet the smallest monkey in the world.

35
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,080
Little silkworm.

36
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:11,626
An adult is no bigger than your palm.

37
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:29,813
When you're so small, it's hard to separate
between friend, enemy and food.

38
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:39,815
But at least he can find food

39
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:41,105
right under your feet.

40
00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:46,698
It scrapes the bark with its sharp teeth

41
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:51,247
and makes holes in it,
in which sweet tree sap is collected.

42
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:56,048
On a big tree
there can be more than a thousand of them.

43
00:05:02,094 --> 00:05:04,054
Quite enough for a growing family.

44
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:11,813
Excellent. New members joined.

45
00:05:15,566 --> 00:05:17,816
They are as big as a table tennis ball.

46
00:05:30,122 --> 00:05:32,752
Little silkworms
twins are almost always born.

47
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:40,085
Care for them is shared by both parents,
older youths also help...

48
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:43,219
when they are not fighting.

49
00:05:47,264 --> 00:05:50,604
Cooperation is an integral part of life
of these small primates.

50
00:05:54,688 --> 00:05:57,318
As well as keeping it higher
on a tree trunk.

51
00:06:00,402 --> 00:06:02,032
It's too dangerous down there...

52
00:06:08,744 --> 00:06:10,754
Upstairs too crowded.

53
00:06:12,581 --> 00:06:18,211
The screams are sixty times louder
from the little silk mill and they rule up here.

54
00:06:27,679 --> 00:06:31,849
Eighty percent of the animals in the jungle
lives in the crowns of trees.

55
00:06:47,950 --> 00:06:51,410
Life is more difficult on the forest floor.

56
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:59,035
The sun's rays rarely make their way here,
therefore, there is not much growth.

57
00:07:10,681 --> 00:07:13,811
The small agouti feeds on what
which falls from above.

58
00:07:27,406 --> 00:07:29,826
Rain is the driver of life in the jungle.

59
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:35,662
It falls to 300 milliliters per year.

60
00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:43,878
Every drop has a powerful effect on small creatures.

61
00:07:46,925 --> 00:07:50,175
Precipitation fills the tadpole's pool.

62
00:07:53,765 --> 00:07:56,765
But sometimes there can be too much of a good thing.

63
00:07:58,353 --> 00:08:04,993
Water absorbed by plants and bark
it can weigh down old trees.

64
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:15,449
Heavy downpours wash away a thin layer of soil.

65
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:24,085
Giant trees have been resisting for centuries
possible storms...

66
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:29,547
Until one day...

67
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,086
When a tree this big falls...

68
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:08,838
It is created for life in the jungle
a big gap.

69
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:17,722
Jagodnorde�a underbelly survived.

70
00:09:20,602 --> 00:09:22,602
Her tadpole, however, is uninsured.

71
00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:33,818
A false coral feels it.

72
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:53,932
The mother can't do anything else...

73
00:09:58,182 --> 00:09:59,392
Like starting over.

74
00:10:10,903 --> 00:10:15,573
Bad luck for someone
it can be a win for others.

75
00:10:18,869 --> 00:10:21,409
Tailor ants no longer need to climb.

76
00:10:27,836 --> 00:10:30,506
The leaves are several times larger than them.

77
00:10:32,758 --> 00:10:36,348
But every ant can carry
ten times as much as it weighs.

78
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:51,820
A colony of eight million ants
can thus bare the tree

79
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:53,782
in a few days.

80
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:08,875
A fallen giant attracts different species
tiny leaf eaters.

81
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:14,218
Small silkworms do not eat leaves.

82
00:11:16,802 --> 00:11:20,222
Loss of a large source of tree sap
it's a bad accident.

83
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:32,230
But these little creatures
they are surprisingly predatory.

84
00:11:44,997 --> 00:11:48,627
With your spindly legs
they can jump up to three meters high.

85
00:11:52,129 --> 00:11:54,839
With curved claws
clings like hooks.

86
00:12:05,976 --> 00:12:10,056
Teeth that bite the bark,
they are also effective for girls.

87
00:12:18,197 --> 00:12:23,407
These little monkeys are easy to hunt
in the tangle of fallen branches.

88
00:12:32,002 --> 00:12:34,052
They eat everything they can get their hands on.

89
00:12:52,773 --> 00:12:55,233
But your appearance is deceiving.

90
00:12:57,611 --> 00:12:59,911
Excellent mimicry.

91
00:13:00,614 --> 00:13:04,624
This caterpillar mimics so well
dead cat

92
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,078
that it's creepy.

93
00:13:21,176 --> 00:13:23,006
After several centuries of shadow

94
00:13:23,554 --> 00:13:28,684
the forest floor is suddenly bathed in the sun.

95
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:40,987
Dormant seeds begin to germinate
and try to grow into as big a plant as possible.

96
00:13:44,575 --> 00:13:47,995
It's a race for light.

97
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:54,043
Climbers and wraps are fast.

98
00:13:57,129 --> 00:14:00,759
In the fight for your place under the sun
suppress all other saplings.

99
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:17,816
The fallen giant is soon covered
with new growth.

100
00:14:25,574 --> 00:14:30,624
The gap turned into a lush clearing.

101
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:40,205
But this is not paradise.

102
00:14:44,259 --> 00:14:46,679
Hummingbirds are as light as a sheet of paper.

103
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:52,179
They replace smallness with aggression.

104
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:06,409
Some have a sharp beak like a blade
and even teeth.

105
00:15:10,702 --> 00:15:12,702
That they can fight for flowers.

106
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:19,592
Hummingbirds must feed
every few minutes.

107
00:15:21,296 --> 00:15:25,756
They lick the nectar with their forked tongue
20 times per second.

108
00:15:29,972 --> 00:15:31,352
They have to be fast.

109
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,310
Competitors are ruthless.

110
00:15:40,232 --> 00:15:42,152
But it doesn't have to be that way.

111
00:15:47,573 --> 00:15:49,993
Because of the sickle shape of heliconia flowers

112
00:15:50,075 --> 00:15:52,695
most hummingbirds
it cannot feed from them.

113
00:15:57,124 --> 00:15:59,924
But the green owl has a debt,
curved beak.

114
00:16:03,213 --> 00:16:05,723
It allows him to
to feed on nectar in peace.

115
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:19,564
Almost.

116
00:16:21,398 --> 00:16:22,818
although quite tiny,

117
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:27,280
the florists sipped
almost all the nectar of Heliconia.

118
00:16:30,157 --> 00:16:32,987
On to the next flower
they must be transferred by another animal.

119
00:16:41,084 --> 00:16:43,924
They are almost as fast for their size
like cheetahs.

120
00:16:47,299 --> 00:16:49,129
He rushes along the hummingbird's beak,

121
00:16:51,637 --> 00:16:53,717
to hide in his nostrils...

122
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:01,360
ready
to transfer it to the next flower.

123
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,120
The clearing has been converted

124
00:17:15,202 --> 00:17:18,622
and the forest floor is dark again.

125
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:26,511
Damp conditions are ideal for fungi,

126
00:17:28,674 --> 00:17:31,094
which cause the rotting of fallen trees.

127
00:17:37,057 --> 00:17:40,057
It is much more difficult to find fresh food here.

128
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:55,164
Brazil nut shell
it is too hard for most animals.

129
00:17:58,120 --> 00:17:59,330
But not for agoutis.

130
00:18:06,879 --> 00:18:09,509
 �esar can't eat right away,
buries it for later.

131
00:18:12,718 --> 00:18:14,138
It is alive by nature.

132
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:17,756
He has a good reason for that.

133
00:18:24,897 --> 00:18:27,727
Margaj is hardly bigger than a domestic cat.

134
00:18:31,361 --> 00:18:33,361
But much more dangerous.

135
00:18:59,014 --> 00:19:02,314
Dark forest floor
they hide many predators.

136
00:19:05,062 --> 00:19:08,902
They are small, and therefore even more terrifying.

137
00:19:12,277 --> 00:19:13,737
With 40 nightstands

138
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:18,030
a large claw stalks behind the finger
in silence.

139
00:19:19,535 --> 00:19:22,575
His hunting tactics
it's like out of science fiction.

140
00:19:28,961 --> 00:19:32,801
It follows the victim's movements with its sensitive hairs.

141
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:40,220
He must crawl closer...

142
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:45,021
That he can use a secret weapon.

143
00:19:55,237 --> 00:19:56,657
Shoot the web.

144
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:07,877
Sticky threads harden in no time.

145
00:20:13,714 --> 00:20:14,924
Escape is not possible.

146
00:20:26,268 --> 00:20:29,688
Tiny creatures must be on the go at all times.

147
00:20:34,401 --> 00:20:38,241
A female of the strawberry-red warbler
has just decided to spawn again.

148
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:44,370
But he must be protected by a male.

149
00:20:58,217 --> 00:21:00,837
The bright red color is a warning to predators.

150
00:21:04,139 --> 00:21:06,559
Its skin secretes a deadly poison.

151
00:21:10,062 --> 00:21:11,272
Only one problem is...

152
00:21:15,025 --> 00:21:17,025
False corals are immune to poison.

153
00:21:19,071 --> 00:21:22,121
And they detect every movement very quickly.

154
00:21:26,286 --> 00:21:27,956
He will be completely alone...

155
00:21:30,415 --> 00:21:32,075
He might survive.

156
00:21:45,347 --> 00:21:47,177
But he can't hide from everything.

157
00:21:54,106 --> 00:21:55,316
A competitor.

158
00:21:58,610 --> 00:22:00,030
He wants to take over this territory.

159
00:22:07,870 --> 00:22:10,870
If he succeeds, he will eat the spawn.

160
00:22:14,793 --> 00:22:17,213
This little daddy has to fight
all or nothing.

161
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:31,685
They are equivalent,
because none is heavier than a sugar cube.

162
00:22:46,617 --> 00:22:49,077
They can fight for more than half an hour.

163
00:23:00,088 --> 00:23:02,298
The lady is getting tired.

164
00:23:10,516 --> 00:23:12,346
But the father won.

165
00:23:15,437 --> 00:23:18,857
The rival is gone, at least for now.

166
00:23:21,818 --> 00:23:25,448
He must protect the spawn for another two weeks,
before the tadpoles hatch.

167
00:23:34,915 --> 00:23:38,955
They develop as the forest ages
more complicated relationships.

168
00:23:47,928 --> 00:23:50,558
This golden bee
is on an unusual mission.

169
00:23:52,432 --> 00:23:55,142
She flew over 40 kilometers to get here.

170
00:23:58,355 --> 00:23:59,475
She is not alone.

171
00:24:02,734 --> 00:24:07,664
They are all trots and only care about one thing.

172
00:24:10,284 --> 00:24:11,494
Not pollen.

173
00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:13,910
But di�ava.

174
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:18,168
This orchid emits a scent,

175
00:24:18,250 --> 00:24:20,880
which will make it attractive to queens.

176
00:24:23,297 --> 00:24:25,757
So he collects it as much as he can.

177
00:24:28,177 --> 00:24:29,597
But if he is not careful...

178
00:24:32,848 --> 00:24:33,848
He will drown in it.

179
00:24:44,985 --> 00:24:46,395
There is only one solution.

180
00:24:54,912 --> 00:24:56,412
The exit is very narrow.

181
00:25:02,127 --> 00:25:04,957
Orchid won't let him go
no parting gift.

182
00:25:09,593 --> 00:25:11,803
With pollen on the back.

183
00:25:21,396 --> 00:25:23,976
Trot is still trying to win the queen,

184
00:25:24,983 --> 00:25:26,403
and the orchid did its job.

185
00:25:41,875 --> 00:25:46,205
For the little silkworm, life returns
into normal rails.

186
00:25:50,217 --> 00:25:52,467
There are currently few students.

187
00:25:56,139 --> 00:25:57,219
But that won't be a problem.

188
00:25:58,308 --> 00:26:01,558
They busily drill holes in new trees
for tree sap.

189
00:26:10,112 --> 00:26:11,992
Their loud neighbors have also returned.

190
00:26:18,579 --> 00:26:22,999
They make noise, feed...

191
00:26:32,009 --> 00:26:33,429
And they defecate.

192
00:26:42,394 --> 00:26:43,774
When nature calls,

193
00:26:44,938 --> 00:26:47,268
the little ones have to deal with it.

194
00:26:54,531 --> 00:26:57,951
This little superhero cleans the crown.

195
00:27:04,875 --> 00:27:07,335
A hro�� as big as a dime.

196
00:27:08,504 --> 00:27:09,924
No job is too difficult for him.

197
00:27:17,888 --> 00:27:19,058
At 20 meters...

198
00:27:21,225 --> 00:27:23,345
Just hold on as hard as you can.

199
00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:45,750
Other cleaners are coming.

200
00:28:00,305 --> 00:28:03,135
Balls of feces roll away
and they bury them.

201
00:28:06,270 --> 00:28:07,480
Food for young people.

202
00:28:10,691 --> 00:28:12,691
And fertilizer for the forest.

203
00:28:19,199 --> 00:28:23,199
The jungle is a complicated world,
full of extraordinary little animals.

204
00:28:24,663 --> 00:28:26,793
Each has its own task.

205
00:28:32,129 --> 00:28:34,969
Even those tiny primates.

206
00:28:41,555 --> 00:28:44,385
Their spontaneous corner of the forest
is constantly changing.

207
00:28:48,437 --> 00:28:51,357
But for now, life is good.

208
00:28:56,195 --> 00:28:57,235
It's below

209
00:28:58,614 --> 00:29:01,414
remaining brazil nuts,
which the agouti ignored.

210
00:29:07,206 --> 00:29:09,416
It grows slowly in the shade.

211
00:29:13,086 --> 00:29:14,506
Bet on the long run.

212
00:29:17,424 --> 00:29:22,434
Small things grow into giants.

213
00:29:34,358 --> 00:29:37,188
D�ungla may be seen
like an endless sea of greenery...

214
00:29:40,739 --> 00:29:45,579
But it lives on every tree
the world of small miracles.

215
00:29:51,166 --> 00:29:52,576
Jagodnorde�a podrevnica

216
00:29:53,085 --> 00:29:55,915
i��e a safe place
for your little tadpole.

217
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:01,390
He must venture...

218
00:30:13,981 --> 00:30:15,981
And take care of the future.

219
00:30:17,943 --> 00:30:19,613
Way up

220
00:30:20,404 --> 00:30:22,164
it is long.
