1
What if an antlion ends up not in regular sand, but in kinetic sand?
2
Will it be able to dig a trap in such sand?
3
What if we take regular sugar and put an antlion in it?
4
Will it be able to make a pit trap in the sugar?
5
Hello everyone, friends!
6
Before you are antlions.
7
These are fascinating predatory creatures that live deep in the sand, and they dig special, cone-shaped pit traps to effectively catch ants and various other small insects.
8
As soon as an unwary ant steps over the edge of such a pit, it immediately starts sliding down the shifting sand.
9
And the antlion, sitting deep in the pit, starts flicking sand right under the ant 's feet so it simply can not crawl out of the trap.
10
There is almost no chance of escaping such a deadly pit, and in the end, the poor ant gets caught by the antlion 's powerful jaws.
11
And today, I want to conduct an interesting experiment.
12
What if the antlion finds itself not in regular sand, but in kinetic sand?
13
Will it be able to dig a trap in such sand?
14
And a second experiment.
15
What if we take regular sugar and put an antlion in it?
16
Will it be able to make a trap pit in the sugar?
17
Curious? Then hit that like button and keep watching.
18
First things first, we need to catch an antlion.
19
In order to do that, you really need to find a nice sandy area and then look very closely.
20
If you see little pits like these in the sand, then you 're in luck, and antlions live here.
21
You need to scoop up the sand along with the pit and sift it through a sieve.
22
And that 's how you can catch an antlion.
23
Look at what a tiny lion I caught.
24
It 's just microscopic.
25
This lion was born quite recently, but I need a bigger specimen, so I 'll release this little guy back into the sand and keep looking for a big one.
26
Actually, these are antlion larvae.
27
After some time, these larvae create a cocoon out of sand and silk that looks like a little ball, and a month later, a winged insect that looks like a dragonfly emerges from this cocoon.
28
That is the adult antlion.
29
This antlion was born at my home in a terrarium, and I released it into the wild.
30
But let 's get back to our experiment.
31
I still managed to find and catch a fairly large antlion, and now I 'm going to put it in kinetic sand.
32
As you know, kinetic sand is a type of play sand that has some interesting properties.
33
It does n't crumble, but seems to flow instead.
34
And it looks very unusual and pleasing to the eye.
35
It 's very soothing, is n't it?
36
By the way, let 's mix these two colors and see what we get.
37
I started mixing the yellow and blue kinetic sand, and gradually, right before my eyes, the sand began to change color and turn green.
38
Cool, right?
39
I took this vibrant green kinetic sand and put it into a bowl.
40
To get things started, let 's actually put our little antlion in here and see what happens.
41
As soon as the antlion was on the kinetic sand, it started, as usual, to crawl backwards and try to bury itself tail-first into the sand.
42
At first, it really was n't working at all, but then it seemed like it finally started to work.
43
It actually started to bury itself down into the sand a little bit.
44
Just look at that, it 's incredible.
45
But then things did n't go so well.
46
The kinetic sand kept flowing to the side, and the antlion just could n't manage to bury itself completely.
47
And then it got even worse.
48
The sand was too dense and not loose enough, and the antlion kept poking its rear end into this unusual sand to no avail, unable to bury itself at all.
49
This went on for several minutes, but in the end, absolutely nothing worked out as I had hoped.
50
In short, my friends, it turns out that kinetic sand is completely unsuitable for an antlion to live in, and it just was n't the right environment for them.
51
Well, what about sugar?
52
Will an antlion be able to live in sugar?
53
We 're about to find out.
54
I placed the antlion on the sugar and started watching.
55
At first, it just sat there without moving.
56
After the kinetic sand, it was already feeling skeptical and did n't expect anything good, but then it decided to try and burrow, and it actually worked.
57
Look, the antlion is burrowing into the sugar just like it would in regular sand.
58
And now it 's almost completely hidden in the sugar.
59
Now that 's what you call the sweet life, literally, when instead of sand you 've got pure sugar.
60
And in the meantime, the antlion has already completely disappeared into the sugar.
61
And let 's watch and see what happens next.
62
The antlion started behaving just like it usually does in sand.
63
It started crawling around and exploring the area, looking for a spot to dig its pit trap.
64
And so it found a spot and started moving in a spiral from the edge to the center, throwing out the sugar.
65
In this way, it dug exactly the same kind of pit trap as it would in sand, and then, as usual, hid at the bottom of the pit waiting for prey.
66
Then, after a while, the pit did n't seem big enough to it, so it decided to redo it and make it larger.
67
And so, friends, here is what I saw an hour later.
68
The whole table was covered in sugar.
69
Such a tiny antlion, yet it throws the sugar so far.
70
Look at this.
71
And in the cup, there was a pit trap of perfect shape, a smooth funnel made of sugar, and the antlion was hiding deep down inside.
72
And I wanted to check if the trap in the sugar works exactly the same way as it does in regular sand.
73
To do this, I need to take an ant and place it in the cup with the sugar.
74
Look, the ant ended up on the edge of the trap, but it 's not sliding down.
75
Perhaps sugar is less loose than sand.
76
And also, the ant is walking on the sugar in a somewhat unusual way.
77
The sugar is probably sticking to its legs a little bit.
78
Also, ants love sweets, and it 's probably tasting the sugar.
79
Look, the ant grabbed a grain of sugar in its jaws and is probably licking it.
80
It 's thinking : "Wow, so much sweetness here! I really got lucky." By the way, look, the ant ended up right on the edge of the pit again, but the sugar is n't crumbling down, and the ant is n't falling into the antlion 's jaws.
81
The ant strained a little and started slowly crawling out of the pit.
82
And look, the ant is already at the edge of the cup.
83
Well then, friends, let 's put him back into the formicarium, since he 's so brave and managed to climb out of the trap.
84
I offered him a stick, and he climbed onto it.
85
And then disaster struck: the sugar he was holding fell out.
86
Why are you so scatterbrained?
87
Alright, let 's get you back to the formicarium.
88
By the way, many have been asking how my ants are doing.
89
Here they are, take a look.
90
They are doing just fine.
91
Well, friends, we 've figured out that an antlion definitely ca n't live in kinetic sand.
92
Now, if an antlion were to end up on a planet where there 's sugar instead of sand, then I think it could survive there.
93
Although we saw that the trap does n't work quite like that and the ant does n't slide down into it, I think that 's because it 's a very small ant.
94
If there were a bigger ant, it would have fallen down, and the antlion would have eaten it.
95
So that 's how the video turned out.
96
Be sure to leave a like.
97
I tried really hard.
98
And, of course, see you next time.
99
Bye everyone!
FOR YOU

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
