I recently watched the first episode of "The Garden of Eden: The Last Secret", what story is it? That's where you appear in the mysterious rainforest of Kalimantan, which is rarely inhabited.
Proboscis monkey
Seeing a population of proboscis monkeys trying to cross the river, the proboscis monkey chews leaves in its mouths, while the bay crocodile, one of the world's largest reptiles, waits in the water for an opportunity.

Monkey after monkey jumped into the water like a Philippine diving team from the height of the tree to swim to the other side,

The proboscis monkey who has reached the tree on the other side of the river shouts, and the companion in the water is very watery,
Swim to the other side

After a while the water monkeys go up the trees, and the bay crocodiles pounce on the air,
The bay crocodile that had pounced on its prey returned in defeat
The rainforest in the mist is peaceful.

At this time, suddenly the wind was fierce, and the downpour fell,

After the rain has passed, there are red orangutans with an arm span of 2 meters on the tree climbing around the high part of the tree.
Orangutan
Borrow weight to bend the branch and fall to the other side of the orangutan
The camera fell from the sky with the young orangutan, fortunately the little orangutan grabbed the vine, but unfortunately the falling camera could not climb the vine.
A juvenile orangutan that catches a vine
The playful little orangutan took advantage of his mother's rest to look for fruit, but found that the tree he was going to was climbed by the macaques.
Macaques eating fruit
Just as the little orangutan wailed helplessly, its mother opened her arms to scare away the macaques, and the mother and son were able to taste the unripe sour dragon's eye in the tree.
In this tropical rainforest, the leaves of the suo Luo Shuang tree are being eaten by the caterpillar legion,
Caterpillars (don't put dense caterpillars, put an outcropping)
At the same time, the army of termites nibbles on the tree from the center of the tree outward,
Termites (no dense termite colonies, but termites that eat the heart of the tree)
Helpless, the double tree can only use secretions to restore the wound.
Self-healing of the Twin Trees
At this time, the guardians of the big tree, known as the "nemesis of termites", came into battle, and it selected resin from the arsenal of the big tree and wrapped it around its hands.
A hunting tsubaki wrapped around the resin on the hand
Seeing a termite sticks to it so that it cannot escape, the sharp mouthparts are like blood-drinking spears piercing into the body of the termite, sucking its body fluids to maintain the nutritional needs of the hunting tree.
A termite was captured
After the hunt, the mother Tsubaki encounters a male Tsubaki, and the male initiates an invitation to ballroom dance, so in the sound of music, they actually dance tango.
A pair of hunting trees dancing
What's even more interesting is that their offspring wore resin-like "gloves" from birth and wrote their stories with termites from birth.

Next to a cute Malay bear walked to the termite nest to forage for food,

Suddenly a reticulated python came out to scare it into a stream of urine, and slipped away.
The reticulated python arched up and prepared to attack
I was startled
But with its excellent sense of smell, it found honey!
Busy bees
Climb up the tree and start plucking honey from the bees
Climbing up the tree to eat the honey, the pleasant sunlight shone on its face, and it folded its branches to make its mattress and slept on the tree.
The Malay bear is ready for a lazy sleep
In the afternoon " N. nepenthes opened its pockets and devoured many bugs,
Giant Nepenthes
Ants that fall into their pockets are digested by acid
At the same time, the honey juice it secretes attracts the tree shrew (qu),
Tree shrews
Shrew squatting on the "toilet"
The tree shrew uses " Nepenthes " as a toilet , and " Nepenthes " lacks the ability to absorb its excrement. Some nepenthes are vegetarians, and they symbiotic with the mosquito larvae jiejue, using mosquito larvae to break down food.
Eats deciduous Nepenthes
On the canopy, the crowned hornbills eat the fruit, and after eating the fruit, fly over the cave, waiting for the night sky to fall.

Above the cave
It's time for bats to feed, Fahrenheit eagle eagles stand in the treetops, black-browed snakes coiled on the branches, and hundreds of thousands of wrinkled-lip dog-kissed bats emerge from the caves.
Hundreds of thousands of wrinkled-lip dog kissing bats emerge from the caves
The sky seems to be all bats projected by Batman's spotlights,
Bat swarms
But snakes and eagles tell us with practical actions that everything is true, and they have captured their prey with lightning speed.
The black-browed snake captures a flying bat in an instant
The Fahrenheit eagle eagle also reached out its sharp claws and struck a blow
The crowned hornbill saw it, was deeply encouraged, opened its wings, soared high in the air, but did not have the speed of a snake, did not have the claws of an eagle, and pounced.
The air-snapped hornbilly
Slowly they stopped to think, adjusted their tactics, selected a branch where the bat passed, waited for the rabbit, and accurately struck a blow.
The male bird caught a bat first for the female bird and then for himself
Just as the male-crowned hornbill gave the first bat to its female companion, these foraging bats are also for the sake of their families waiting to feed in the cave, and the bats that return to the cave devour the bugs while their excrement rains down from the sky.
Bat droppings raining down
The ground is golden,
Looks like a gold-sprinkled underside
Looking closer, the scalp is tingling, and the scavenger creatures everywhere are like a poisonous cave. Countless small strong nibble on the feces, and the worms live freely in this place,
Worms
From time to time, a half-meter-long centipede walks by, and the giant spider in the spider web wraps around the prey with spider silk,

If the bat that falls from the sky cannot fly immediately, then what awaits it is the bug and the black-browed snake that stare at him. (The picture is terrible, don't put the picture, please watch "The Garden of Eden: The Last Secret" by yourself)
A brilliant galaxy
Or exit the terrible cave and look up at the dark sky, the brilliant galaxy, the sky that cannot be seen in the city.
It's dawn,
A male orangutan sings in the forest: "Sister, you come to see me, don't take the path, there are many poisonous snakes on the path, I am afraid of biting my sister's foot." ”
Singing male orangutan
It sang a mountain song, indicating that it was a high-quality male of the apes, but did not see the girl, attracting a male of the same kind.
Attracted a young male of the same kind
It looked disappointed, and lonely tears flowed from its sad eyes.
Expression of disappointment (disappointment that can be felt through video)
The red orangutan attracted it, mocking its singing voice and revealing its fangs representing aggression.
The other side showed its fangs
This move angered our singer orangutan, and it also showed its fangs,
It also reveals golden teeth
Directly scared away the other party.
Slipped away
Having won its dignity, it revealed an evil smile that belonged to the crooked god of war.
Evil charm smiled
The sky was not beautiful, and when it was about to continue to sing, it rained heavily. But it did not frighten it, and it climbed higher, breaking its branches and leaves to make a temporary coat on the way, and then sheltering itself from the rain on a thick trunk.
Orangutan making a raincoat
At this time, it was quite meaningful, it should be chanting a poem, it opened its voice again, but the previous lead song made its voice a little hoarse, and it also realized that the voice gradually became aggrieved, with a sad voice, no ape responded.
Rain or shine, a poem.
After all, 80% of the trees in the orangutan habitat have been cut down by humans and planted with neat palm trees.

Neat palm trees
In such an environment, many male orangutans have to die alone in the divided rainforest.
Fruitless courtship of the orangutan
However, there are still many pristine rainforest reserves and wild parks where orangutans can live happily – kalimantan's pristine habitat.

There is a rich biome here, and as long as we can protect the treasure trove of rare species that is unique here, the sacred rainforest on the island and the lungs of the earth will become the garden of Eden forever.
