I Connected My Two Giant Rainforest Vivariums Together

I created a giant 2-storey cloud rainforest ecosystem vivarium and the result blew my mind. The double vivarium world consists of a rainforest floor vivarium (Pantdora) on the first floor and my new tree top canopy vivarium (Orchadia) on the second floor. Upon unblocking the glass bridge that joins the two biological worlds, I was shocked by all the life that moved upward into the trees, as well as the variety of new creatures already existing in the new canopy vivarium. Hope you enjoy this Season 2, Episode 14 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

AntsCanada really fulfilling my childhood dreams of zookeeping on a micro level AND recording the zookeeping process to be viewed for free

Almost 10 years ago, I would watch this this channel every now and then. Looking at the small but complex terrariums for all of this guy’s ant colonies.

Now here I am 10 years later, watching this man have two giant vivariums connected to each other and am fully hooked on how all the animals interact with each other week to week. You really have come a long way.

"the bugs are excited to escape into the treetops to avoid predation" *plans to release 100 praying mantis up there*

This man has me crying over a bug, AGAIN! Explaining how she would eventually become fertilizer that would allow both vegetation and other creatures to thrive, which would ultimately serve as food and sustenance for her children made this scene even more impactful. A mother's dedication knows no bounds, rest in peace Esmeralda. You truly lived up to your name, Empress!

My Grandpa passed away earlier this year and when I was a kid, I used to sit out and watch nature with him. He owned koi tanks, mini aviaries in his backyard, and generally just loved nature. I wish I could've shown him this series while he was still alive because he is also from the Philippines and he would've loved to see your set up. In a weird way though, your videos have given me a lot of comfort. Just you talking about the timing of mother nature and the stories you tell - it reminds me of how he would talk about nature and life. Thanks for creating something that reminds me of him!

I imagine AntsCanada in 10 years: “welcome to Pangea, my 2, 000 hectare terrarium”, while showing drone footage from above, the Boston Dynamics dog to survey and record. And him, inside a massive control room with screens, cages, jars and animals everywhere.

My 5y old and I have just discovered your channel. He loves reciting each of the insect IDs as they pop up on screen. Thank you for educating my elementary schooler in this way. Regards from Aotearoa.

I found this series 5 days ago and I’ve already caught up completely

[calebvitzthum]

So glad someone else appreciates something so simple as air movement, air is literally so beautiful to watch, it’s like perfect endless chaos

[TFGamer]

A list for your consideration:

- Chameleons
- Orchid Mantis
- Some Predatory Katydids
- Stingless Bees and Treehoppers (Certain species have a bit of a symbiotic relationship like ants and mealybugs)
- More Damsel/Dragonflies
- Bucket Orchids and Orchid Bees (Need each other thrive)
- Some Moths/Butterflies (Glasswing Butterflies would be cool)
- More Grasshoppers
- Jumping Spiders
- Hover Flies/Flower Flies

When his girl asks “would you love me if I was a worm” he straight up says “no”

I miss out on AC for a minute, come back and he has a whole ass mansion and a private mini rainforest lol

[Asterius]

The way you described the circle of life around the death of Empress nearly brought me to tears.

[justaguyontheinternet]

I wonder how Mikey treats guests. Is he just like “oh yeah this is just my gigantic bioactive rainforest vivarium with a canopy extension that has a crocodile in it, nothing much really”

[memoryresonance]

personally you shouldn’t have the rain system be simultaneously, it’ll be more cool or realistic if you have the canopy go first as it’s the top. Then the rainforest floor goes second, it mimics the trees dripping down water.

You're up there with Steve Irwin, showing people how to love animals, right down to the creatures people don't normally want to see that way! Thanks!

[RonKlaphake]

Can we just appreciate this man for making these videos almost every week for us and the beautiful views and close ups and the work he put in for these beautiful vivariums

[MabeyGhostFace]

Add stick bugs they would make an awsome addition to ochrcadea
