Gotta love how insects that look like hellspawn often are harmless to humans, while the most harmless thing you can imagine (like tumbleweeds) are deceptively dangerous.

Hey Tumbleweed, whatcha doing?

Just rolling rolling

Hearing how a plant being an invasive species is something I've never thought would be possible

In movies; how to tell the audience that the place is in middle of nowhere.

Mostly accompanied by a tone from blues guitar

Tumbleweed tornadoes sound like a lot of fun

I've only seen them in Western movies. The first time I observed one was in Arizona after moving there, and it was fascinating to see. It was rolling across the road, and I couldn't dodge it and hit it head on. It simply exploded

I actually helped a grad student do their research on tumbleweed “migration”. The most travelled one we found loved over 6km!!

They are a presence of every western movie, especially when the bad guy and our hero are about to start a deadly duel.
"In the main street, the 2 men facing themself in the distance, the people waiting and there's no sound, only the wind. And sudden something rolling across the scene and the 2 start shooting..." Epic scene😁.
Tumbleweed are a presence even in the Road Runner and Wil Coyote cartoon😆😆.
Tumbleweed become a symbole of loneliness and the great desert open space, and I can't imagine a desert whitout them😊😊

I like the videos you make about nature

The fact they said invasive to a dry bush is crazy

[GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Grew up with these in the most southwestern corner of Kansas, city of Liberal, named because they were liberal with their water for the wagons on the trail heading west.

Ahh yes the looney tunes weed that appears in cowboy themed episodes with bugs bunny, porky pig, daffy duck and yosemite sam.

[fionaadorablepets]

I saw these mischievous rolling-creatures in every cartoons especially the pilot episode is Lone Gone Gulch and even the episode of amazing world of gumball

[jmaxxs]

Imagine being stuck in that tumbleweed tornado 😂

[saintzayan]

I had no idea that they spread like wild fire.

In Russia it's called "перекати-поле"

[rsuriyop]

It’s like the’ve become land based version of invasive jellyfish.
