Parasite in the Poo | The Green Planet | BBC Earth

Does it have the potential to kill a cactus? I can see why it's a parasite to the cacti but hmm...

Ugh the sound effects are so bad when you are partially ill

.....so what i saw on cactus it's not its natural cactus flower but... PARASITE?

سبحان الله

From a parasite into a flower.. it's a new information...I think one life time is not enough to understand Nature

How did a plant figure out how to do that? How is that even possible?

Did you really have to amplify the sound of that mockingbird sh*tting all over that cactus?

What happens to the cactus and the parasite after producing seeds. Do they keep producing year on year? Or do they die?

Lesson learned to never let any one sh¡t on you

It's like an analog horror creature. Starts out a weird meaty prisite before taking over something

I BELIEVE IN MAGIC ✨

and it looks like the cactus isnt damaged...cool

And they say, this all happened because something exploded some billions of years ago .😂😂😂

Just amazed god creator!

Where does this take place?

Nature is so beautiful if there is no humans at all

Does the cactus die after?

In desert area, they might be detrimental to the cactus. But for cactus introduced to tropical area, they might bring benefits in form of helping the cactus to deplete their overabundant water, as they absorb too much water from the moist soil here.

Maybe they were like that in the past, when the area was once a lush green forest? 😂

Nature… 😮

I'm assuming they eventually kill the cactus, like most parasites? If so, bummer!

And i thought steven kings ass weasels were gruuuusome

Forbidden hollandaise

Whoever did the sound effects: kudos for the excellent excrement audio. Perfect example of moist plopping lol

the pooping sound effects are legendary

Is this the same parasite that is harvested for its deep red color that is used as a dye by Mexican for textiles? Oh its a plant. Never mind. The one I was talking of is an insect.

Fantastic natural detail and beautiful film work. One question, you never said if the cactus was damaged by this parasite or just soldiered on past a tolerable impact by this water thief?

Neat

I guess they’re lucky that bird decided to shit all over that cactus

Who did the Foley effects for this poop video? 😂

The audio steals the show in this one , big time

why the stupid sound effects though? :/

I wonder why the bird reliably lands on the cactus to poo - maybe there’s nothing else of that heights growing there?

I hate the fact that the parasite is beautiful

Let me get this straight…. There’s a plant that takes out another plant using birds. Insane

THAT WAS AMAZING

stop using artificial non realistic wired sound.. it is a science video, not an ASMR

Im a grown ass 31 year old man and the reason I clicked on this video was because of the title

And some people still say there is no God...

please change speaker...

One good thing about AI is that this voice will never leave humanity despite dear Sir having to eventually.

Straight out of an alien movie 😅

Parasite in the poo. The most unpopular Dr. Seuss book title.

Why'd I watch this while at the buffet?

That’s amazing 😮

Plant diseases are so horrifying. Animal diseases are no picnic, but at least you’re not that cactus

It always amazes me to see plants move. Usually I imagine them as stationary, but of course, many aren’t, they just move too slowly for us to notice.
